My Baby is 5 months old

I can't believe it, but my baby boy is 5 months old today. He is rolling over in both directions, eating cereal and some vegetables, and trying to sit unassisted. He is growing up sooooo fast.

Dinner time first: Carrots and Hot Wings

Tonight LK and Sam both had dinnertime firsts. LK had hot wings for the first time, and Sam had carrots. LK was eating chicken nuggets, sweet potatoes, and rolls. She saw that Jeff had hot wings and asked for one. He pulled the skin off and gave her a bite, and of course she loved it. She had some more with the skin on. Nice! Hopefully I won't pay for that tomorrow.

Sam has been kinda eating rice cereal, but he isn't a fan. He has seemed to be starving hungry today, so I decided to give him some carrots. He ate almost the whole jar. He would grab my hand with both hands and shove the spoon in his mouth. It was so funny. He even licked the extra off of his mouth.

I am going back to potty training boot camp with LK tomorrow. She did so good for awhile, but we both got off track. Hopefully we can get it licked this time.

I just can't keep up

Here lately I have found myself wondering what my problem is.... I just can't seem to keep up. I know several stay-at-home moms who also work part-time, and it seems like they have things much more together than I do. It never fails that I have dirty dishes in the sink, dirty laundry to be done, and a disaster all over my house. For those of you who know me well, you know it drives me nuts! I try to pick up everyday, do dishes everyday, and even do some laundry every day, but I just can't keep up. Thus, maintaining the blog falls further down the list of things to get done today.

We honestly haven't had much going on lately. Sam has had another ear infection, I closed on the craziest realestate deal ever, we went to Chatanooga with the kids for our 5th anniversary, and we are still praying each day that JEff's business survives another month in this crazy economy.

Sam is growing like crazy. I can't remember exactly, but I think at Sam's 4 month checkup he weighed 16.5 lbs and was 24 .5 inches long. He is finally sleeping through the night which makes everything else in life much better.

LK is still her same little adorable, highly opinionated self. She is so much like me there are days I could kill her. She has decided for the time being that she is not going to use the potty. Not that she doesn't know how, or can't for some reason, she just doesn't want to. We have tried to bribe her with everything under the sun, and she just doesn't care. For several weeks she went without a single accident, but now she hardly goes potty at all. Again, drives me crazy! She is smart as a whip, and a master manipulator, which isn't working out too well for the home team.

No other big plans for the summer that I know of yet. I have one house listed now, and another to list on June 1. Please join me in praying that they both sell. We definately need it right now.
