TOtal Slacking Over Here

So, having three kids is a lot of work. It isn't terrible, but the time without one or more kids on your lap, pulling on you, or screaming is very limited. This is especially the case since they aren't in day care, preschool, or with a babysitter on any sort of a regular basis. So, I haven't had much chance to blog lately. I haven't even had a chance to comment on most of your blogs, simply because by the time I am done reading a post (or two), I get distracted by one kid or another. But I have been reading them!

AJU5 is now 4 years old. She LOVES dresses, especially the shiny ones with fuller skirts. She now has two long skirts she loves as well. But, rarely will you find her in just pants. She has started to wear jammies to bed most nights, but most mornings she enters our room with a dress in hand (she can't button/zip and bow them on her own).

AJU6 is now 2 years old. He is a ball of energy and emotion. He is so close to fully talking, and it has been fun to watch is vocabulary grow in the last couple of months. He LOVES Thomas, Veggie Tales, and Cars. He got a ton of Thomas things for Christmas, so he is a happy guy for sure.

AJU7 is now 4.5 months old, and she is sitting up already on her own. She can sit for at least 30 seconds without falling. She is definitely going after things (paper, toys, her siblings), which is getting dangerous. She still doesn't sleep all night (like her siblings), but she also doesn't take a pacifier at all. So, she is a little more high maintenance than they were. But, her smiles will metal any frustration for having to entertain her so much.

Hopefully in the new year I can at least get a monthly post out. That is my goal - although a weekly post would probably be even better...

I miss reading about your kiddos, and I think of you a lot since AJU7 and Cooper are almost the same age. If H wasn't at kindergarten and J at preschool 3 mornings a week, I would not have the time to wash my hair, let alone blog :)

The year when my 3rd child was an infant was hands-down the most challenging year of all of my motherhood. BUT, as soon as the 3rd was walking and talking, my motherhood days were filled with laughter and fun memories majority of the time. Hang in there. You are doing great!
