To pee or not to pee...
So, I have been very overwhelmed lately with the idea of "catching up" on my blogs so I have decided that if I cannot get to a weekly, well turns out it's a monthly, update then I will just do the best that I can. Basically the problem is that I have recently started the Twilight Saga and let me tell you, and I'm not ashamed to admit, I am completely addicted. Thus my blog has suffered. I will try to get back control ;-)
We have had a fun filled summer so far of play dates and such. Lillian is coming up with more things to say every second. She told Michael the other day when he was asking her about her day "No Daddy, that is not the things we did today!!" I couldn't believe that came out of her mouth...a pretty complex sentence for a two year old! Anyway, I am going to venture to say that she is completely potty trained, with the exception of overnight. It wasn't nearly as painful as I thought it would be. I do have to say that I don't think Olivia is much of a fan because every time Lillian says "Mommy, I have to tinkle" I have to set Olivia down no matter what. It's inevitable that it is when I am trying to feed her or something. And anyone that has ever tried to take a bottle from Olivia's mouth while she is eating knows that you will hear a blood curdling scream. She definitely likes to eat. I used my high tech weighing skills last week (by weighing myself first, then adding baby) and she was a whopping 15 and a half pounds!!! I could not believe it. We go for her four month check up at the beginning of August so it will be interesting to see how much she weighs then. We are getting Lillian ready to go back to school and have her parent teacher meeting next week to meet her new teacher. I know that she is going to be excited about it...she loves her friends!
Random statement: Lillian has been biting her nails uncontrollably! I bought her some of that stuff you put on nails that tastes bad...but I'd love if someone has another solution. I knew that I had to do something quickly when she told me to quit rocking her the other night before bed and then said "I just want to get in my bed and bite my nails" Awesome!!
We have Olivia's 3 month pictures this weekend and I am so looking forward to it. Our photographer is so good at capturing our kids and I can't wait for her to see how much Olivia's grown. She hasn't seen her since she was about 6 weeks.
I have also started my own freelance business. A local consignment sale offers goodie bags to it's first 300 shoppers and for $35 you can put business cards, coupons, etc. in the bags...so Michael and I have decided that if I were ever going to start the time is now. Because I was so uncertain about how to get my name out, this will be the perfect opportunity. Ideally, I'd love to focus on custom nurseries but can do basically anything. The name is Lilli O Designs (named after the girls) and I am pretty excited. Hopefully I'll get some business out of this. I have also started a custom art project for our bonus room. It's still a work in progress but I am really excited about it too and hope to offer this as just another aspect of my business. If you or anyone you know needs anything like this, let me know...I am offering discounted consultation fees.
Michael is getting ready to go to Wisconsin for two weeks the beginning of August for Graduate School of Banking. I know he is excited to see the folks that he made friends with last year but I also know that it is going to be hard for him to leave his girls for that long. We will definitely miss him too...but only one more year and he will be done. I just hope that I still have all my hair when he gets home :-) With a sassy two-year-old and a teething infant...only time will tell.
