Our Kids

Okay so it is that time already, that time that new mothers forget until the next time. Landis is at that point where she detests her car seat and is not afraid to let me know about it. I remember this with the girls and it is as painful this time. At least I have Piper in the back of the car shshshshushing Landis to try to calm her down. Of course it doesn’t work but it give me something to smile about so that I don’t run my car right into a cement wall. Landis is also at the stage where she fights nighttime sleep, just the initial getting to bed part, after that she is good all night.

She can also sit in her bumbo, hold her head up, smile and even coo a little, so there is a lot of good along with the less desirable but necessary traits. I am afraid the girls might have to become more homebodies until we get past this hump. Generally I think I am a pretty good mom but when there is excessive crying that I can’t fix, I lose my sanity. I am very fortunate to have such good babies, maybe it is because someone somewhere knows that if I did not I would not be able to be a good mom.

Landis can track me now as I walk around the room. It was pretty exciting, I had just set her down in her bouncy chair and then I walked off and looked back and she was looking right at me. So I walked by a few more times and she turned her head and watched me walk by. So cool. Now she will discover her hands pretty soon and that will be really cool!
