Just a simple update

Sorry it's been a while. Our computer was down for  a while and then I just haven't been on long enough to write.

So, since my last post...
Owen has reached the 6 month mark. He sits up on his own and army crawls very fast all over the place. I keep hoping he will get crawling on his knees one day. He is so close. He is trying to pull himself up onto things rather than crawl on his knees, but he does get around and over things quite well so it works. He is still a big boy but he is leveling out. He is just a little bigger than Austin was at this age. He still enjoys screaming to get his big brother upset. He cracks up when he makes Austin scream back or cry. It's funny and mean at the same time. He also likes to scream to get Daddy riled up. Daddy doesn't like it either. I figure as long as he is happy I will let him practice his noises, but I do try to get him to make other noises since it upsets the other two. He has 6 teeth now, (same as Austin had at this age). My boys are early teethers. It can cause some issues for breastfeeding but they get sorted out pretty quickly so I don't have to get bitten too many times. He enjoys music and dancing with mommy and Austin. Rough housing with daddy, pulling everyones hair, and playing with any cords he can find. He is enjoying solid foods, but I still think he will be more difficult to wean than Austin was. He likes his mommy time.

Austin is 27 months old. He still enjoys dancing and has now found the joy in singing with me. He used to just listen and play along, but now he actually sings. Once he turned 2 it was like a switch was flipped and he could all of a sudden sing. He loves to climb on anything, and he likes to run and be outside. He has stopped eating pretty much everything a toddler would eat. He doesn't even eat french fries or pizza anymore! Those were two of the fallback foods that I could always get him to eat. The problem is that he doesn't eat "grown up" food either so I don't know what to feed him. He is starting to enjoy Owen a little more. He plays with him better/more. He, like i mentioned, still doesn't like it when Owen cries or screams, not because he is concerned for him, but because he doesn't like it. He likes to get Owen when he wakes from his naps and still points out all of Owens body features. Soon we will start potty training. He seems ready. I just have to get the underwear and rewards and then we can begin.

Danny did get the Full time Job that we were hoping for. we are so Excited! Pretty much we are stoked about getting rid the the $400+ a month for health insurance. That will save us so much money, we will actually be able to stock our fridge and pantry! We are not starving, but we definitely get pretty empty. We don't know when he will start. They have to finish a background check, which could take a couple months, they have to be thorough, and then they will have salary negotiations. We are hoping to get a step up from where he is now so we won't have to take a pay decrease. But we are looking forward to having steady work at one place. Unfortunately it also means daddy won't be home for dinner 4 nights a week instead of 2, but at least he will be home for 2 hours before the kids go to sleep instead of coming home to kiss them good night. He also will be gone before they get up 4/5 nights a week instead of 3, but again he will be home earlier, so its ok. This is the best schedule for our family that they offer.

We are looking forward to moving ahead with getting into a house. We have started looking around online, and gone to a few model homes nearby to get a look at what is out there in our price range. We don't have a huge budget, but we would like to own a home, and get a backyard for the kids to spread their wings in, and a dog. So we will see what happens. I will try to do better at posting. And maybe I will even post some updated pictures.
