Sick Days

Liam and I have been pretty sick since Saturday. Ada, thankfully is feeling OK besides an occasional runny nose. We've all been stuck at home in our pajamas for quite some time now, but that doesn't mean we haven't been goofing off a bit in between sniffles.

Ada is getting very good at holding her head up now.

Brother and Sister each think the other one is pretty cool.

I dressed Ada up in a bonnet. I love bonnets...probably because I read Little House on the Prairie over and over and over again when I was younger.


By this point Ada was tired of posing for the camera.



This picture really cracks me up!

We're slowly working on getting better. Liam is off to the farm today so that I can get a chance to take a nap and try to shake off this cold. I have to go grocery shopping today and I'm looking forward to it. It's Wednesday now and today will be the first time I'll have left the house since Friday!

Keeping the Peace

Today was one of THOSE days. Liam, though he woke up at 6am, refused to take a nap in the afternoon and when he's low on sleep he becomes a wild and cranky little tyrant. Thankfully, he hasn't done this in a while, but it didn't make today any easier. Ada was up last night until midnight and then woke up twice in the middle of the night to nurse. Since it's Thursday and Nialle has practice tonight, I knew there would be no relief in sight.

So what do you do when you're lethargic, lactating and spending the day with a sleep-deprived kid? You succumb to his every whim just to keep the peace.

It was cold outside today, but Liam really wanted to go to the park so I dressed him up, put Ada in the sling and zipped her up into one of Nialle's big sweaters that I was wearing and then we all trudged off to the park.

Liam had a good time...

He wore his boxers out today...that's only the second time we've been out of the house without him wearing a diaper. He stayed dry!


I was cold and spent most of the time trying to keep Ada's head covered...

...but at least Liam was able to blow off some steam and I got to walk a happy kid back to the house.

More Baby Giggles

I just couldn't resist to post another video of Ada giggling. She just loves to laugh. Liam, as you'll hear in the background, just wants an apple.
