Hung up on blogging...

It's tough to blog for me! I struggle...really I do. I love, love, love to read others blogs but struggle to work on my own. For me, I seem to think that I need to upload a ton of pictures for each update - tough to do it seems. So, here is a blog update without the pics!

Things are going well for us. I am learning to get into (and find) my groove. It has been an adjustment being home - I love it but am still working on finding the balance on many things... I've decided it's definitely more fun to be home in the summer! I'm so ready to be able to get outside! Brayden and I have a lot of 'fights' where he teaches me how Batman and Spiderman fight all the bad guys. His imagination is wild right now and each phase we get into I decide that it's by far my favorite. I truly mean that now though - he is still full of his energy but is actually able to listen to us know. He is such a fun kid - goofy. I have to take a step back sometimes and really ask myself if it's worth getting so worked up over some of the stuff he does - he really is a good kid. He is more ornery than bad! He likes to tease his mom - when I am able to remember that we end up laughing together "i'm just teas'n mom." He is my buddy. I asked him the other day if he could please stop growing. His response to me was "I just can't mom...I have to grow and grow and grow - like Hulk. Then mom, I'm gonna get married! TO YOU cuz your so pretty!" Oh my! He's a keeper!

Kamryn is starting to figure out how to move! OH NO! I can't stand the thought of my baby doing this stuff already! With Brayden we were the typical first time parent - he's already doing this and that...but with Kamryn I feel like I want time to slow down! :0( She has started this thing where she lays on her back and arches it and then pushes with her legs....she actually scoots on her back! I'll have to get it on camera. Today I put on her belly and she pushed her face into the blanket and just kicked her feet like crazy....here's to those times where you are always on the move! She and I have been having a few fights lately - we are trying to wean. Wow have we found how stubborn number 2 is! I know we'll get there and hopefully by the end of it all she will figure out that mom still adores her. :0) She is the goofiest little girl - I just love her personality. She just stares at everyone with a smirk - she likes to giggle quite a bit. She also has decided that it's scary going with anyone but mom or dad....I'm hoping she works through this quickly. She seems a little more sensitive than her brother ever was (maybe that's the girl thing....we'll have to continue to see!)
