I'll start with our trip down to Dawn's for the weekend. Cecilia and Owen are ADORABLE but a LOT of work. I volunteered to help out during the night with feeding them, etc. And man... it really made me cherish that Lily can sleep through the night now!! Having one to feed, diaper, soothe is one story... but adding another one in at the same time is crazy! I have a new found respect for my sister even though she doesn't think she's doing that great since she has help. But with twins and a 4 year old in the house.. you NEED help! I have to say that I can't believe that Sunday morning Matt and I took care of all 4 kids (Lily, Ava, Cecilia, and Owen) while Dawn and Chris slept in a little bit. I definitely don't want anymore kids yet at this point - it was my good dose of birth control for awhile! Ava is so funny because for every one thing she does that's not so nice, she also does something hilarious. There was a few really funny things she did/said this weekend but of course I'm not going to remember most of them. The one that does stick out in my mind is... I was talking to Dawn about something regarding Ava and didn't want her to know what I was saying. So I spelled Ava's name in the conversation with Dawn. Ava looks at me and says..... "I hear you talking about A-V-A. Why are you talking about me?" Haha... she's a smart little cookie. Now that Lily can crawl, Ava thought it was fun to get Lily to chase her. :) They were so cute crawling around. Of course if Lily got near anything that was Ava's.... Ava didn't like that! Overall.... I think the weekend went well with 4 adults and 4 children in the house!
While we were at Dawn's, we went to Rita's to get some italian ice. They just opened the store up and were giving away free ones. We LOVE Rita's!!! So I got Lily a Georgia Peach one to try and she LOVED it!!! How could she not though... that's the sweetest thing she's ever had.
Lily is getting more and more mobile now... She pulled herself up onto her knees this past weekend and almost got herself to standing. She also almost sat herself up from her tummy. She got halfway up and was propped up on her arms and then just rolled back over.
Last night before Lily went to bed after we had gotten back home, she had a major freakout. It was about 6:30 a half hour before bedtime and she was watching her baby einstein like usual before bed. She is always SO content watching that but she just started crying and it got worse and worse until she was just screaming her head off. Definitely not her normal crying. She didn't have a temperature so I called my mom and she confirmed what I thought... Lily is probably about to break a tooth through finally. I can't feel anything yet but that is the only thing I can think that it would be. She also keeps pulling at her ear which is another sign and today I took a flashlight and tried to look in there and I think I see like a little hole on the gumline where the tooth might be getting ready to pop through. So I guess I'll see... I gave her some tylenol last night which I think calmed her down and then had to give her some motrin this afternoon and she seemed to be in pain again.
Well... I think that covers mostly everything. I'm sure I'll think of more later. Lily is 8 months old today!!! Where is the time going?!
