Trying to keep up

I am ::thisclose:: to giving up on my blog, or just going private so I can update as I please, but I feel like I want to try to keep up. Life with 2 kids (and an EBF little girl who hates sleep) is very hard, but I do want to remember some of the moments in our lives.

Claire is 6 months old. Almost 7 months. Crazy, crazy, crazy. She is sitting up on her own, eats two meals a day, and we are still breastfeeding - which I am so proud of! She is trying to crawl, loves to observe everything and everyone and is so serious. It's amazing how different she is from O when he was a baby. He was so laid back, happy and went to anyone with open arms. Claire definitely prefers me, and has to warm up before gracing anyone with her beautiful smile or infectious giggle. She is just such a blessing, I am loving having a daughter. I can't believe this beautiful girl is MY daughter

Owen. What can be said about this little boy who is almost 3? I can't believe he will be 3 in just a month. He definitely has his days of defiance, tantrums and general three year old behavior. But he loves to play, color, "read", play with trucks and cars, loves Toy Story, Lion King and Cars, and he is just a nut. He is doing better with speech, and while he isn't quite up to speed with his peers, he is doing so much better. He knows his ABC's and can identify letters and spell his name, he can count past ten, knows his shapes and colors. He is amazing. He is pretty good with Claire. It seems like now that she is sitting up and playing with toys he is getting a little more rough and a little jealous, but he gives her more kisses then smacks and he is always very concerned if she is crying or drops her toys. He is an awesome big brother.

I am so blessed to have these two in my life
