Super Woman = Mommy

This morning Riley woke up rather early. Again with the conversation about what sounds animals make. I thought I would change it up and ask her what Riley says. She replied "I love you, mommy." Very. Very. Heartwarming!!

For awhile there, we were all quick sick. Our little guy had an eye infection and double ear infection, ouch! Mike and Riley went to pick up Logans prescription and when the they asked if they were there for Jack's prescription, Riley quickly corrected her, "Jack Logan!"

Today after returning from our Thanksgiving feast at my sisters house I was carrying Riley, Logan in his carseat and the diaper bag. Now let me tell you, Riley is 28 pounds. Logan is about 18 pounds I would guess plus the carseat.. no idea how much that weighs but combine the carseat and Logan.. it is heavy! I said to Riley, "Dang I must be super woman! Can you say super woman?". She did say super woman. She said, "Mommy."

Now, normally I post about what my children did or said to make my day. There was one more thing that really and truely made my day today. I had a very long and much needed chat with my best friend! This very much made my day!

I Love You, Logan!

This morning, I woke up to a very smiley and talkative baby. It didn't take all that long for him to wake his sister up with all his babbling. Riley hopped into bed with us and made a beeline for Logan. She gave him a BIG hug and I hear "I love you, Logan". Totally heart melting!

A couple of days ago, Mike and I were able to go see a movie (yay New Moon!) My sister agreed to watch the babies. Being that she has no children of her own...this makes her brave! My little girl has just gotten so big and grown up. I told her we were leaving and she just turned around, waved and said, "byyyye!".

This isn't something Riley said but it was a wonderful moment for me anyway. Our whole family has been VERY sick. Hence the lack of updates. Riley got hit hard by whatever this was (supposedly bacterial bronchitis and the flu) and was very clingy. Twice, in a short number of days, Riley just sat down with me and fell asleep. When you have a baby, at least when I had mine, there is/was nothing better than having a baby sleeping on your chest. As they get older this happens less and less. And our Riley girl, she hasn't cuddled up with us and gone to sleep in close to a year. Precious moments.

About a week ago, Mike and Riley had an adventure. They went to the grocery store. While in line a woman turned around and commented "Aw, she is so cute." Riley replied "I'm Logan's sister!"

I call Logan a little charmer. He is EVERYWHERE!! So fast with the crawling and what not, it is pretty much time to get the baby gates up. When he is crawling around playing, if you call his name, he will just look and at you and give you a big smile. And when this kid smiles, it shows on every inch of his face. I will have to get some pictures of this up!

That's all I can think of at the moment, check back. Hopefully I will post twice today!

Phone Calls and Late Night Conversations.

Life becomes very interesting when you little bundle of joy starts talking. Riley is in the stage where she is starting to lose her baby words for things. While this is slightly sad, it is also fun because you can have conversations with her. Last night with I was getting ready for bed I heard the cute little voice of Riley saying, "Momma? What's a pig say?? OINK OINK!" We talk about animals and the sounds they make many times a day and with her cute little sickee tired voice, it made our little conversation all the more precious. So after the pig I asked her what dogs, froggies, kitties, bees and all sorts of other animals say. A complete random topic for 11:30 at night but it was so cute.

This morning while I was sleeping, (something that makes my day almost everyday, Mike hangs out with the kids in the morning before he goes to sleep so I can sleep while he gets his "just Daddy, Riley and Logan" time) our house phone rang. Mike went to get find one of our cordless phones while, unknown to him, Riley was holding a phone that was right next to where he had been sitting. What he also was unaware of was that Riley had answered the phone. My dear friend Elise was on the other end when Riley said "Hello?". Apparently, Riley then started to follow Mike around saying "here". Needless to say, by the time Mike finally realized she had the phone, he had a laughing Elise on the other side.

A start

Ok, so I started this little blog deal and now I will start sharing some stuff that has made my day... so to speak over the last few days. As we have all had the plague, (aka we were and still are incredibly sick)we have had to bring out the dreaded bulb. For anyone without kids this little device is used to clear ickiness from a little persons nose. Basically. It is a torture tool. I finally decided, ok, it is time to use this thing on Riley. Poor girl, I just KNEW she would hate it and really...what kid is gonna like that??? So as we had to literally hold her down because let me tell you she can really fight that thing, she starts crying and telling me "No, mommy!!! It's Logans turn! It's Logans turn!" Now, this doesn't "make my day" so to speak but it was so funny! Already trying to pass things off on her little brother, that stinker! In other news Logan said "da da" today. Mike swears he said "ma ma" a few minutes earlier but what I heard that time was "da da" as well. He is such a cute little dude! Until next time!

So basically...

I have been trying to come up with something that makes my life blog worthy. Something that would give me something to write about everyday. Maybe even something that makes family and friends return to my blog occasionally. Then, it came to me. You know those status updates from your friends on sites like Facebook and Myspace?? Yeah, those. Anyway. I don't like posting a ridiculous amount of updates everyday but there are many things that go on during my day that I would love to share with my friends and family. Sooo that brought me here. In addition is being able to update those interested in the funny and cute stuff that our two little ones do on a daily basis, it is way for me to be able to look back at memories when my two little ones are not so little anymore. And there you have it.
