Random Thoughts From a Mommy

I've gotten lazy, as you can see. I'm barely updating these days, yet so much has happened! I really need to make it into a habit to start writing more often. I don't want to forget these moments, but they're happening so fast, it's hard to remember them all! Well, first off - Halloween! In hopes of getting the most out of the costume (because most just wear it for like a hour or two), we ended up wearing it 5 different times. That's right, five! We even went trick-or-treating (ok, it was only 4 houses afterall, but it was still fun!). Mack had a blast, and we still have candies left over here at our house. Then Bryan went away for a week for business. It's not normally all that bad, but this time around, Mackenzie decided to get sick and get her first teeth at the same time! (I think they were related) She was super stuffed up (hence, no sleep), and she was super cranky because she was cutting in the bottom two teeth. Oh, the joy! I wasn't real

Yup, missed a few weeks there. Got busy and just didn't feel inspired enough to write. But here I am! Well, there have been quite a few milestones the last 3 weeks. Mack is now fully rolling over, attempting to crawl backwards, and STTN (again). She had her first nosebleed 3 weeks ago (when we were travelling because it's dry in the desert!) where Bryan totally freaked out because his girls have never had nosebleeds before. After being in Utah where there were 5 kids and 2 babies in the house for a week, Mack came home and was like, "what the heck? I want them back! I'm BORED!" She got bored of all of her toys within 5 minutes. So what was the solution? Making sure there's something to do every single day. Between swimming, Mother Goose, mommy group, library time, and walks, I still don't have enough to occupy her throughout the day. I have created a bit of a monster... Mackenzie started solids consistently finally. We are doing the baby-led weanin
