It’s been awhile since I just updated everyone about what’s going on around here.
Let’s see…
Wade is nine months old now. He’s growing, and doing new things everyday. But he’s not the early bloomer that David was. He isn’t crawling or talking yet. He isn’t even sleeping through the night. I keep reminding myself that he doesn’t need to keep up with David. He’ll do everything in his own time. But sometimes I think, “Why isn’t he doing this or that yet? Is there something wrong?” I know there isn’t. I’m just impatient.
I do wish Wade would sleep through the night. I’ve had enough of his 2 a.m. wake up calls. He isn’t hungry. He doesn’t need a diaper change. He just wants to hang out. Sometimes he’ll be awake for an hour or two. I think some of it is because of teething. For a few nights he was waking up every one to two hours. That I’m pretty sure was his teeth. And I wonder if he naps too much during the day. I’ve been trying to get him to do less of that.
So I’m tired, and coffee is my best friend lately.
I LOVE coffee.
Have I ever mentioned how much I really, really love coffee?
David is his usual smart, funny and stubborn self. Last week you may have read my plea for help with getting him to clean his room. Thank you to all who offered suggestions. I will be trying them out.
Dave is enjoying college. He’s been back in school for a little over a month now. I think he’s decided to major in International Business. He’s doing really well. I guess I’m not as distracting to him now as I was 14 years ago.
We had a nice Valentine’s weekend. Dave’s quartet sang at a Valentine’s dinner Friday night. My mom and dad came up to watch the boys, and I went with him. It was nice to have a few hours away. Then David went home with my parents for a few days, and it was just the three of us on Saturday.
We spent Saturday catching up on everything on our DVR. You know you’re an old married couple when that’s your idea of fun.
I also spent Saturday laying on a heating pad on the couch. Somehow I hurt my back. I have no idea how, but I woke up Friday, and could barely walk or bend over. Picking up Wade wasn’t easy either. I’m all better now thank goodness.
Sunday Dave had another concert so it was just Wade and I on Valentine’s Day. It was nice to have him all to myself for a little while. I called him My Funny Little Valentine all day. Since he’s only nine months old I can still get away with stuff like that.
And then there were two. Again. When David came back today.
Wade and David were both so happy to see each other. David keeps hugging Wade. Wade keeps looking at David and smiling and squealing with delight. They’re already two peas in a pod. Can you imagine the mischief they will get into together in a few years? David is so much older. I can just see him putting Wade up to stuff.
There you go. Are you bored yet? I know. My life is so exciting.
So, what’s new with you?

Oh, I feel for you with the 2am wake up calls. My little guy seemed to wake up every two hours for the first 8 months. I swear I was a walking zombie. ugh!
Sounds like you had a nice V-day date. That’s cool that your hubby sings in a quartet.
I remember those early morning wake up calls too. I struggled with staying awake I started putting a movie in to turn on to keep me awake.
Hope your back is better soon.

I was hoping he was sleeping all night by now. They sound really sweet together!
