Amelie love photos

Perhaps one day she will be a photographer. Don't tell her, but for her birthday on Friday I got her a kid proof digital camera. She's going to shit with excitement. I've sorta been prepping her by letting her use my iPhone camera.

Here is an example of her photography work with the iPad. She's brilliant.

Barf City

Get this, I got puked on by both of my kids today. The smell of barf followed me around all day long.

I was at a baby shower this afternoon with Felix, and someone said, "oh hey, you've got a lil something on your shoulder." Well, it was more than a lil something. In fact, it was quite a bit of puke dripping down my shoulder, pooling in my hood, and running down my chest. Thanks for the heads up friend.

Despite that, it was a great baby shower. Great food and I met a lot of pretty cool people.

Later, Amelie coughed so hard she gagged, then proceeded to puke a whole lot. All over her shirt, the couch, in her hair, and in my hand. I wondered today, why my first reaction when one of my kids throws up, is to cup my hand in front of their mouth to catch the stinky mess. Motherly instinct I guess.

Three sleepless months.

Yes, it's true. I (we) have barely slept in months. We have had good days here and there. And by good day I mean getting up to tend to Felix a minimum of 3 times in one night. Luckily, his screaming almost never wakes Amelie up.

He's pretty cute though right. Pretty happy during the day too.

Here and there

So clearly, my posts are going to be few and far between. I'm still sleep deprived and blogging just isn't a top priority anymore, the kids are.

I'm very much enjoying Felix making new sounds and Amelie saying crazy shit. Like today, we were about to go eat dinner at our neighbors house and she came out of her bedroom with an arm full of underwear. When I asked her why she was holding all of her undies, she replied, "in case I need to go pee at Ingrid's."

She is such a good big sister. One day I was making her lunch and heard both kids laughing in the dining room. When I came out, I saw her goofing around with Felix and making him laugh.

So I also just got a new job at HCMC. I will be working as a doula. I'm pretty excited about it. It's an on call position and I get to make my own hours so cheers to that. I start on Monday, which is MLK day and Tyler has the day off so sucks for me, but at least I know the kids will be home with him.

Ok, I'm finished for today.
