3 Little Monsters

I have been having fun with the little ones this past week. We have created some fun memories together. I got to take just my little guy with me to run errands the other day. It was so fun to get to pay attention to just him. He said the funniest things. he notices everything now. He never forgets anything. So like I was saying it was so fun to be with him. Sometimes when I get busy all the questions and comments get on my nerves but when  I only had him I felt bad that i get frustrated with him so much. I spent the rest of the week trying to really listen to what he was talking to me about. The world through a 3 year old eyes is so fun.
Then i got to take just my little Houdini with me and that was so fun. I held her the whole time and she just ate it up. She hugged me like every second and kissed me so many times. Sometimes I forget that she is still a baby. She is only 17 months and she has to walk everywhere. When it was just her I realized that. It made me feel bad that she really has had to grow up so fast. New goal let her be a baby too. I will just have to get stronger so I can carry both babies. My sister told me to be careful to remember to treat her like she is her age and not lump her with the oldest or the youngest. She is her own person needing her own things. She smiled the whole time she was with me. She loved having me all to her self. 
The baby had her 4 month check up this week and I got to just talk to the Dr. all about what she has been doing. I reflected on her that morning before I went in and it made me so happy. She is such a good baby and she is always happy. She has been sick and yet she still smiles and giggles all the time. She is perfectly proportioned. She is 75% for head, height, and weight. Hitting all her milestones right on target.
 I am so lucky. I tell myself that all the time. I have to remind myself because sometimes as I dealing with the everyday stuff I forget to be grateful. life is busy but great. By the end of the day my head hits the pillow and I am OUT. I have to say it feels good.
