Busy, busy, busy!

Dag, have I been busy. My oldest daugter officially started 2nd grade this past Wednesday. I can't believe she's that old already. I remember being in second grade and it doesn't really seem like it was all that long ago. My younger daughter will be starting preschool on September 13th. I hope that it will do her a world of good as she is going through a rough stage right now. She was the "baby" for such a long time and now with a new baby in the house, and still not being the oldest, she is definately developing that dreaded middle child syndrome. She is very rebelious and defiant. I am having a very hard time in disciplining her as she doesn't really seem to be phased to much by it. She seems to be saying "bring it on". And as for the baby, He's still not eating well, though better than he was there for a few days. He still refuses the bottle if he's any kind of awake. He'd rather drink straight from the "tap" if you know what I mean. He is super cute though. It is hard to stay angry when he flashes you that big toothless grin. I should tell you that he has gained some weight and has finally broken 14 lbs (14 lbs 1.5 oz)!! yea!! (up 7 oz in 5 days!) That makes me happy. This also means he did not have to go to the hospital, for which I am very glad. I just love chubby little babies, he's not quite ready to be labled chubby, but maybe soon. Just wait until he's older, then we won't want him to be chubby. Just til he's about 2 then he can start thinning out. I haven't been able to take my daily walks for about a week now, and I'm really beginning to miss them. This means I have not had "ME" time in that amount of time. Nor have I had any exercise. argh! It has either been raining in the evenings or my hubby didn't get home until too late ( I don't walk alone after dark, just don't feel comfortable doing it). That is one reason I really want to get a treadmill. For the days that it's too late when I get the chance to walk and when it starts getting cold and icy out, and starts getting dark at 6pm. Well, gotta go for now. I'll try to not let it be so long before blogging again. Not that anyone actually reads this, but, whatever.
