Zach is such an angel. He's growing like crazy. He's such a little chunker - and I love it! He started laughing on Friday, and of course his first giggles were for Aunti Lynn-Lynn. He's rolling onto his side, but hasn't quite figured out how to make it onto his tummy! He's still such a great baby. He's so relaxed and cool about everything. He really only cries when something's wrong. Otherwise he just chills in his seat, swing, bouncy, or play yard! How'd I get so lucky?
Olivia, on the otherhand, has become quite the handful. She's become a devil when it comes to going to bed. She wants to sleep with us, but we just won't allow it. So, every night it's a battle of wills. I've even resorted to Super Nanny's techniques, but she's one tough cookie! I don't know how to break her. So, we end up rocking her, laying with her, or rubbing her back until she falls asleep. Then, she gets up in the middle of the night and climbs in bed with us. To tell you how tired I am - I hardly remember her ever coming in there. I just wake up and she's there!! Any advice here would be appreciated.
Other Olivia news - she is talking so much more now. We don't hang out with a lot of almost 2-year olds, so I have no idea how she's doing compared to her peers, but Josh and I are impressed with how she's communicating now. Over the weekend she started calling us "Honey" and referring to her Daddy as "Josh".
Most of you probably got an email from me, but my Mom had a heart attack a couple of weeks ago. Thankfully she's home and recovering well. Josh's cousin said yesterday that we shouldn't be suprised that she's healed because she's had so many people praying for her! We continue to pray that all goes well in the coming weeks as we learn whether or not she has to have surgery. Thank you, thank you to everyone who's been praying! We've felt every one. And most of all, Thank you, Lord for getting us through this trying time! We love you, Mamma!!! Keep healing!!!
Finally, we visited with Josh's grandparants yesterday. Big Mamma and Big Daddy celebrated their 65 Wedding Anniversary!!! Can you believe it!!! I'm in awe of these two. You will never meet anyone like them. They are truly the most wonderful people I've ever met, and I love spending time with them. Grandmother has been having a tough time, so for those of you who will, please keep her in your prayers. To Big Mamma and Big Daddy - We love you. Congratulations on making it 65 years together! We are amazed at your accomplishments and we love you sooooo much!!!
I have been watching everyone else's blog. Sorry I haven't had time to leave comments, but I promise I've been keeping up with all of you!!! More updates to come!!
