The Vacation Season!

It is midnight and we just got to Hilton Head Island to visit the Spinner clan. I have heard ALL day..."I want see Jonah and Yibby." "I am ready to go now Mommy. I have my shoes on." "We go now?" My reply : "After dinner, then we take baths, brush our teeth, wait for Daddy, then get in the car." That just didn't seem to satisfy him. He was READY!!! Now we are here, and I can't wait for him to wait for him to wake up tomorrow morning to actually see Jonah and Libby!

I started Eli on rice cereal yesterday. HYSTERICAL. He doesn't do the typical lapping of the tongue and spitting it all out. He is wide open like a little bird. He grabs the bowl and puts IT in his mouth, and he grabs the spoon and puts it directly in his mouth. Ummm....I think he was ready for real food. What do you think? I was just being lazy. I didn't want to deal with it until we were in the new house, which is awesome by the way!!! I am actually sleeping. OMG, how I missed sleep! This is awful, but Eli's room is the farthest one from our room and has NO monitor hooked up yet. He could be crying and I don't hear it. Oh, sometimes I hear him, and I go in. But, there are many mornings he wakes up hoarse. But, I...I wake up refreshed and ready to go!!! He'll figure it out, right?

I promise, I will get pix on soon.

we dropped the monitor a long long time ago (even though I was the one saying I would never give up the monitor EVER!) because it was keeping me up half the night. Matthew yells in his sleep but is NOT awake. Whatever he is yelling about would freak me RIGHT out, I would jump up, run in there and wake him up for real leading to longer periods of time when he was up half the night so we just put it away and got on with it. Until I got pregnant I never slept better! And if he is really crying we can hear him so we get up and that is hardly ever any more!
