It's amazing how fast the boys are growing. Austin has been crawling for a little over a month and follows us everywhere. He is now cruising and walking behind his push toys. The other night I was downstairs with him and Carlos and Jaiden had gone upstairs for something. Austin went towards the stairs, which he has done before and even made it up one, but he was just babbling away when all of a sudden his voice sounded a lot further away. I ran towards the stairs just as Carlos did too because he noticed Austin sounded a lot closer from upstairs. Yeah-he was half-way up the stairs. Aaah!! And as soon as he saw me, he threw himself back at me laughing and just as pleased as could be. He then proceded to climb the rest of the way up as if he'd been doing it for a long time.
I can't believe how fast he's growing! I think that he can't wait to do everything Jaiden does. Jaiden loves to be with Austin and is always asking for him and watching out for him (when he's not hitting, pushing or wrestling him!). The other night we went to a birthday party and when they were handing out the treat bags, Jaiden immediately made sure Austin was getting a bag too. Tonight we were watching a movie and I picked up Austin to give him his bottle. Jaiden said, "Come here, come here" and just wanted Austin to lie down next to him as he hugged him for a couple of minutes. I'm glad they are starting to get to the point where they play and do things together.
I don't have a clue why this is sideways and I don't know how to rotate it, so sorry, you'll just have to rotate your head to watch it!

I know I'm a bad blogger...
I know I don't post often. I guess that my life is just the same day in day out and there's not that much to report. I'm feeling pretty stressed right now with Carlos being gone all the time with school and work and Jaiden requiring lots and lots of attention. Plus Jaiden won't go to bed until way late and he won't stay in his own bed, so there's not really that much more to say. I'm not trying to be negative, just explain why I don't post often.
We have all been sick for two weeks now. Okay, so Carlos and I started off sick, felt better, then got sick again, but the boys have been sick the whole time. It started with colds but then Jaiden got a fever that wouldn't go away and so we took him in to the doctor. It was strep. Yippy! It was a first for us, especially since while growing up, I was the only one who got strep and it was only once. It was pretty sad to see him so sad and just wanting to stay in bed all day and not eating anything, not even the yummy stuff. I must admit that I was able to get much more done around the house! I got caught up on laundry, had rooms clean, dishes done, organized my scrapbooking area and even finished two pages! It's been months since I was able to do any scrapbooking. As soon as Jaiden started feeling better, he was back to throwing things (actually, that's how I knew he felt better) and jumping around. I'm glad he's better because he was such a sad little boy for awhile. I feel a little (not too much) guilty about opting for the shot in the behind for the antibiotics instead of ten days of oral antibiotics, because honestly, he didn't scream for much longer after the shot than what he screams when he has to take medicine! Austin has had a fever too, but it's gone and they both just have coughs and runny noses now. Lots of fun!

A Day in the Life of Jaiden
Although these are -mostly- from different days throughout the year, some days several things like this happen. Life is an adventure!
I can do it myself!
Austin is a great eater, he always wants to eat everything and gets upset when we're eating and he's not. It's not often anymore that I can feed him all of his food, he wants to do it himself. This means more messes but its cute to watch. He's very determined! Even though he doesn't get upset about many things (just mainly food and dirty diapers), he will keep at something until he accomplishes it. Hopefully that patience, CALM and determination will continue as he grows!
