What else...

We've been doing the sleeping battle with Lily, so I really haven't had much time to take pictures or blog or basically breathe lately. But it's all good and fine, I'm working on "sleep training" her differently than I did with Wade. I am trying to get her used to the idea of falling asleep in her crib, on her own without crying. We let Wade "cry it out" and I feel like that may have had something to do with his sleep issues now. Side note: Wade is sleeping a ton better. He still doesn't nap much, but he's asleep by around 8 each night. Then, he comes into our room at some point most nights and camps out on the floor. He doesn't cry at night and hasn't had night terrors since those two he had a while back (crossing my fingers). Back to what I was saying... Although crying it out may work for some kids, I think that others are too sensitive to let cry and Wade was one of them, he was too young for us to know that at the time.

Sharing. I will keep this to show them later that it is possible.

Anyway, I have taken a few pictures lately. The two of them are so cute. If I ask Wade to watch Lily for a second while a empty the washer or something, I'll find him reading to her or trying to entertain her somehow. Tonight, they were playing a chase game. He would run around the kitchen wall and peek at her, then she would take off after him. She's pretty slow moving though and he would make it through the living room and around to the other side of the kitchen wall before she would get to where he was in the first place. So, she'd turn around and head back in the direction she just came from. Over and over and over. Mark said it was like the tortoise and the hare :)
