Whoa!

Wow! Where have I been? Worst mom ever!

Claire & Zane have been growing SO MUCH! I can't even believe it!

Zane is almost 10 months old and crawling and babbling up a storm! He is walking along things, can stand on his own for a few seconds and a time and has a smile for just about everyone. He is seriously the sweetest little guy I have ever met and his precious little personality is starting to shine through. Zane and Mommy are still nursing, so we still spend lots of time together. We still co-sleep and we both wouldn't have it any other way. Little mister takes at least one nap during the day, sometimes 2 if he was restless during the night. He feeds himself puffs and bread and also likes bananas and mashed potatoes. He hasn't really eaten too much baby food, although we do have some. At 8 months, he discovered how to use Claire's straw cup and sometimes sneaks some of her milk. It's really quite adorable!

Claire is almost 2.5 years old and talking up a storm. She answers and asks questions, and loves to carry on conversations with us. Now that we can effectively communicate with her, she gets frustrated much less and we have less temper tantrums. We signed her up for gymnastics classes, and while she's only been to 2 sessions so far, she has fun and is already starting to follow instructions better. She loves bouncing on the trampoline and doing her somersaults. It's so cute to watch her following around the other kids and doing what they do.

That's my update on the kids for now, hopefully I won't forget and will continue to update more regularly!
