Munchkin Update

Mister Camdini has sure been giving us a run for our money lately.  Some of my Mom friends say that 4's are worse than 3's and 2's.  What?! So couple that with a new sister and less attention and you've got     a disaster.  Some days are good, others bad, and some just plain ugly. We just keep praying for patience and are trying extra hard to each spend more one on one time with him.  This week we started back at the Y, which I think has helped.  He has enjoyed getting out and "exercising" with his buddies in Child Watch.  Mommy has too ;) A little alone time, a peaceful shower, and time to get ready has probably made me a little bit more bearable to be around.

We are so thankful to have Grandparents willing to take the kids to give Kyle and I a break.  A couple weekends ago Camden stayed with GG and Papa and they enjoyed a fun night at the WhiteCaps game.

We also scored free tickets to a U of M game, which was a fun date day:) As most of you know, I'm a State fan, so this was very uncomfortable for me to cheer Go Blue and even wear this hat.  I borrowed it from Camden :) I was probably pretty entertaining to watch amongst the crowd of over 100,000 people.  I definitely looked like a fish out of water when they started chanting and waving their arms to Hail to the Victors. Owell... we had a great time and enjoyed every minute of just us.


Loving this little girl's smile! Eliana has started smiling and it's SO adorable. In addition to smiling, some other things Elle is up to:
 
* Sleeping about 5 hour stretches at night. This makes Mommy very happy :) She's up to eat and goes right back down to sleep.

* Loves to play on her play mats, hates the papasan chair, and isn't really a fan of the swing.  

* She often times seems content just laying in her crib looking around - she's very laid back compared to Camden.  Kyle says she has his personality... what?! So I'm high strung :) 

* Her hair seems to be getting lighter... some days I see a tint of red.  Maybe we will have our red head? 

Having some girl time with Evie.  It's so crazy to have these two little girls in the same room... Evie and Ellie are tongue twisters. I have even caught myself calling my daughter Evie and vice verse.  Maybe a new nickname in the future for Eliana? I like Ana and Elle....

Eliana is a rockstar when it comes to tummy time. She is pushing herself up onto her forearms and holding her head better and better every day.
