I'm emerging from the depths of laundry, diapers, and spit-up to bring you this mediocre post. Enjoy!

I know.  It's been awhile.  I do apologize.  I'm not sure what exactly has been keeping me too busy to blog.  Hmm, maybe it's the almost 8 week old baby, or the almost 4 year old boy, or the housework that never ends, or the job I just went back to last week (on a part/part-time basis haha, was working 10 hrs a week, cut it back to 5 for the next few weeks), or the husband who, for some crazy reason, wants a part of my time for conversation and the like.  Not to mention that I am completely addicted to FarmTown.  If you've never played it before, seriously, it's so addicting.  So you might not want to get involved if you don't want to wake up in the night and wonder if your field of tomatoes is going bad.

I do apologize for yet another random post, but the lack of sleep is really starting to get to my brain function.  That and who knows how much time I actually have to write this.  It's easier to come back and finish a random blog post than to try and pick back up mid paragraph a few hours later.  My multiple, unpublished blog posts can attest to this.

I can't believe that in 21 days, Garrett will turn 4!  He really is looking and acting older all the time.  It's hard to believe he used to be that baby who would hold his breath and pass out.  Fun times!  He comes up with the funniest things sometimes.  I just can't believe how much he catches and picks up on throughout the day.  Here's just the latest thing he's done that I've found funny.  He has invented a game that he can play with Cooper.  (Can you tell he's dying for his brother to be old enough to actually play with him?)  The game goes like this:  Cooper spits out his pacifier, Momma asks Garrett to give Cooper his pacifier (if I'm unavailable to do so.  I wouldn't dream of making my child do something that I'm more than capable of doing myself...), Garrett gives Cooper his paci, Cooper spits it out again, Garrett gives it to him again, Cooper spits it out again, Garrett gives it to him again and holds it in his mouth.  He laughs and says "We're playing the paci game!"  I don't think Cooper likes the last step of the game.

In 11 days, Cooper will be 2 months old.  I can't believe this, mainly due to the fact that it feels like a much longer time of no sleep.  The temper is becoming more and more apparent.  Earlier today, he was ready for his bottle, but it was taking me a minute to get everything situated before I could sit down and feed him.  When I did pick him up to feed him (maybe 5 minutes after I had initially put him down), he wouldn't take the bottle without crying a little more just to let me know how unpleased he was with my tardiness.  The positive to him getting bigger is his ability to participate in some additional baby equipment.  I put him in the exersaucer today for the first time.  Of course he had to be propped with pillows, but he sat there for 10 minutes or so and just looked around.  

And that's the end of my free time.  Cooper has had enough with the swing and the paci game, so I guess it's Momma to the rescue.  I apologize for my lack of posting and the fact that this does not include a picture.  I'll attempt to make up for this in my next blog entry.  Maybe.
