Once you start, you can’t stop

Julia has started talking.
A lot.
She’s been talking, but her vocabulary seems to have grown by leaps and bounds just in the last month. It seems like she’s adding a new word every day or two. In fact, this past Sunday she added, Sister/Sissy to the list. She’s never gotten down “Hannah”. She always says “Nah” or signs “Hannah”. I’ve been working with her on “HAN-nah”, but she seems to get more frustrated than anything else.
Sunday Julia was sitting next to Hannah and kept saying “sss”. I asked her “Are you saying “sister”? Is that your sissy?” She nodded yes and from there has started calling Hannah “sissy”. I gotta admit, I LOVE it! I was (still am) called “sissy/sis” by my family growing up and really wanted Julia to go by “sissy”. But it seems that Hannah will be “sissy”.
Speaking of Sissy…
Hannah is so close to rolling over! She keeps rolling onto her side, but can’t quite manage to get all the way over without help. I’ve been practicing with her; she’ll get on her side and I will start rocking her back and forth, then roll her over on her tummy. She thinks its a pretty funny game and gets quite a kick out of it. We’ve also had her sitting in her Bumbo seat. She loves it! We put her on the table while we eat dinner and she just laughs and spits up. It’s pretty cute, if I do say so myself. 🙂
Oh glorious day!

Yippie!
Woot-woot!
Hallelujah!
I am back down to my pre-baby(s) weight!
This day might live in even more infamy than the last one.

*This is a week late, because I forgot to schedule it. Oops.
Jonathan went out of town two Sundays ago for a work conference. He got home around midnight Thursday morning, went back to work at 8am and was gone until 10pm for class. That means, in essence, I’ve been a “single” mom for 5 nights and 4 days. In that seemingly short amount of time I have learned:
– a one-year old can be a bed hog
– a 3-month old can be an even bigger bed hog
– a king size bed can feel small when squished between two small children
– a knee to the back is not how I like waking up
– 4:40 am is really, really, REALLY early – especially when Julia acts like it’s not
– coffee is essential to the well being of my life
– when my children are teenagers, I’m never letting them sleep in – it’ll be my revenge for their younger years
– laughter is key to long life and less stress
– in order to not go crazy, always join in activities, activities, and more activities
– the sound of Jack playing with his tennis ball at 1:30 in the morning sounds an awful lot like a) Julia playing or b) a burglar when a) has been ruled out
– my already high respect for single moms has tripled
– I am so glad the long distance phase of our relationship is over, I disliked it in college and I really dislike it now
– Jonathan is the best husband this girl could ask for
– Julia and Hannah love, love, LOVE their daddy
– I love, love, LOVE their daddy

“Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:18-20
