January 2013
Well, I am doing it again. Project Life. Trying to take pictures from our daily routine and eventually scrapbook it. I am going about it a little different this year, not a picture a day, but whenever I can. And then I will make a traditional scrapbook layout from those pictures as well as a digital collage. I am still waiting on some of my papers and stuff to arrive for my "traditional" scrapbook, but here is my digital collage page from January 2013.

Really Random
Crazy static
Silly pics
Well worth the 15 minute wait in the drive-thru line.
This should be an ad for Thirty-One, you can fit a three year old in their Thermal Market Tote
It helps to hit mommy in the face when you are cranky because you have 7 teeth coming in (5 of them are molars)
It's hard to remember her when she was this small. Her nickname was "Squeeky Beans"
And by the way, I believe the first song H will learn is the Chicken Dance. Singing it seems to be one of the only things that will make her sit still long enough to change her diaper. This child seriously hates getting changed. The Hokey Pokey always worked for the boys.
I hope you enjoyed a little peak into our crazy family. I need to try and take more pictures, so I can share these a little more often.

Informal Official Birthday Invite
So sorry again for the last minute notice. Please let me know if you are planning on coming, so we can account for food. Next year I promise to be a little better prepared! Thank you for understanding.

Yes finally, H is crawling. She is a somewhat normal baby now. :)
And one more video of the boys, they are getting so big so fast!
Happy Labor Day everyone!

Sleeping with an infant
I saw this app for my iPhone called Sleep Cycle when I was looking for Fantasy Football apps for Jason and was intrigued by it. It analyzes your sleep patterns and wakes you during your lightest sleep phase within a 30 minute time frame. Supposedly, waking at this phase leaves you feeling more refreshed and awake, rather than getting jarred out of a deep sleep. It was only $0.99 so I decided to pick it up and analyze my sleeping.
So here is my sleep pattern from the past four nights, sleeping with an eleven month infant in the same room - who still takes one feeding overnight. Keep in mind I am an extremely light sleeper.
Friday night
Saturday night (I know for a fact I was awake at least once an hour between 2-5 so this isn't terribly accurate)
Sunday night
Monday night
I don't know how I am still managing to stay on my feet during the day, let alone sew without sewing through my fingers. At least in a week or two I will start to ween little H off of breast milk (YAY I made it to 11.5 months!) and then I can start to train her to sleep through the night. I won't get any good sleep until we can get her out of our room though, because she wakes me with every little toss and turn, unless I invest in some ear plugs first.
By the way I have yet to be awakened by the app, it does go off, but I am already awake before it goes off. Usually H or the boys have done that job.
But for $0.99 it is a fun app and it has great reviews. For those of you with an iPhone (iPod or iPad also) and no kids to wake you up, you should give it a try! You do need to be able to plug your phone in overnight and it does not work on Temper-material beds. You can find it in iTunes, here.
