Things are a changin'...

Yes, things are a changin' here in the Hamilton House. With that change comes much excitement and a little sadness.

This little boy is changing every day. He is into everything. We will definitely be investing in more child safety gadgets in a very short time. He started pulling up last Saturday, when he pulled up in his crib and Jake found him leaned over the front rail. The mattress was immediately lowered to the lowest setting. :) The next place he pulled up was next to the bathtub while Cady was taking a bath. He leaned over to splash in the water and took a head dive; thankfully him momma was right there to catch him before he hit the water...

Yes, that's coffee. Just a little in the bottom of the cup with ice. She really wanted some, so I gave her a little. It's black, no cream or sugar. She really liked it...must be our kid.

Cady started her Kids Day Out program a few weeks ago. Honestly, it's been going horribly! She cries as soon as we walk in the door, screams and holds onto my leg as I leave, and sometimes they have called me to come get her because they can't calm her down. We had a small issue 2 weeks ago, and it really hasn't gotten any better. I want her to get to go play with other kiddos, and do fun art stuff that we won't ever do here, to have FUN. But is it really worth the money, and me worrying all day for her for her to be miserable and make her teachers even more miserable? That is another change that will probably be happening soon. If we can't get this under control, Cady is just going to stay at home with me all day, every day. I wanted her to be able to go for fun, but it's not fun. I was really stressed out about the whole thing until I heard a message about the Lord speaking to us. The speaker was saying that sometimes we need to realize that God uses circumstances to speak to us. I was wondering if that might be what He was showing me through Cady; that the Lord gave me that time when I was pregnant with Wyatt because I was needing help, but now that time is over. We could save that money and use it in a way that's more eternity minded...a few minutes later  we ended up getting paged to retrieve Cady and Wyatt both from the nursery because they wouldn't stop crying... We are giving her one more week to see if she can adjust, but if not I know that God just has other plans for my time and that money. I know that He will provide help for me when I need it, in another way.

Wyatt is getting teeth. The first one popped through Wednesday. It's sharp! You can see the other one coming right behind it AND for the last 3 days Wyatt's top lip has been really swollen and you can see the top ones shifting into place. Looks like he will be a toothy little boy very soon.

He is moving faster than ever and really has to be watched ALWAYS. Here he is stuck under the bed in the guest bedroom.

Another change that we are getting ready for is my sweet little girl turning 2!!! I can't believe it's already almost here. One week from Monday. I'm a little sad. To keep my mind off it, I'm working on a party! AND, two days after that Jake will celebrate his very last 20-something birthday. I think he's sad...

Yes, things in our house are changing, but mostly for the better!
