just an update
Not much has been going on, but I haven't posted in a while so I thought it would be a good idea. I have FINALLY gotten control of the Baylee pooing all over her room situation by using duct tape. If I wrap it around her diaper until it overlaps she can't get it off. Such a relief! Now I just need to tackle potty-training but I'm not sure where to start with her. She wants to "go potty" on the toilet but she just pretends to go, "wipes," and then puts her diaper back on and goes potty in that. She has also occasionally gone in the bath tub when I wasn't looking. I've tried the candy thing but once I meniton candy to try to get her to go she just wants it, and won't concentrate on going potty anymore. I'm afraid to try just putting undearwear on her because she'll probably just poo in those, which would REALLY gross me out! I am not the biggest fan of poo and things of that nature.... so yeah I'm just a little nervous to go all out with the panties. A friend of mine just let her son run around naked for a couple of days so that he didn't have anything to go in, but I'm not sure if I could handle it if she decided to go on the carpet or something. Our carpet cleaner hasn't been working very well lately so I'm just not sure if I'm up for that either... I think I'm just going to have to suck it up and commit to something though if I want her to be potty trained any time soon.
Laycee is becoming a lot more mobile. I think that she is really motivated to walk because she wants to catch up to Baylee. She has been standing up on her own without falling over, and she has even taken a couple of steps, which I think is pretty good for an 8 month old. However, Baylee has been pushing her down occasionally, which is VERY frusturating because then Laycee cries, Baylee has to go in time out, etc. I think it's just an older sibling thing to pick on younger siblings, but it's driving me crazy. I feel like I spend most of my day saving Laycee from Baylee. But I have found that if I spend time playing with just Baylee every day she does it less, so it must be just a jealousy thing I guess.
Baylee has also been very into reading. She brings me her little pile of books like 10 times a day so that I'll sit down with her and read them. It's very cute. I don't always have the most time on my hands though, so I usually have to get all of my cleaning done when the girls are taking naps or after they go to bed.
I think Baylee is becoming afraid of the dark because she is constantly standing on toys or whatever she can find to turn her light back on after I put her to bed. She has also been climbing into the crib with Laycee trying to go to sleep in there. Poor little girl! It's so sad that she's so afraid. I did put a flashlight up on their curtain rod as kind of a makeshift night light, but it's not enough for Baylee. So usually I'll go into the girls room to check on them before I go to bed and the light will be on, and Baylee will either be in Laycee's crib, or asleep on her pile of books in her bed.
I have been working occasionally at Melaleuca lately, which is a wellness company. They produce products like vitamins, hair and skin stuff, natural makeup, non-caustic cleaning supplies, etc. It's actually pretty fun to get out of the house once in a while. It's only like 6 times a month so far. I go in for the last two and the first day of every month because that's their busiest time, and I also get called in to cover for people when they're sick or whatever. I basically just take orders from people calling in, answer product questions and things like that so it's really not a hard job by any means, but along with my paycheck I also get $80 a month to spend on products, which is really nice because I can just get all of my cleaning stuff for free now.
Anyways that's kind of my life as of now. I know it's really exciting :) There will probably be cooler things to post about once the holidays hit :)

Baylee mommy
So today about 1/2 hour before bedtime I was about to lose it, the girls are still getting over being sick and they were just crying and demanding my attention all day long. So I was about to lose my temper, and decided that it would be a good idea to go into my room and bury my face in my pillow for a couple of minutes, and take some deep breaths to collect myself. A couple of seconds later Baylee came into my room saying, "Mommy, you okay?" And I said, "mommy tired baylee." Baylee then got a very concerned look on her face, climbed onto the bed next to me and started patting my head and my back, and then she said, "I sawwy mommy, I sawwy." It was so cute that I couldn't help but laugh. When she was satisfied that I was feeling better she continued playing. It's amazing that through all of the chasing babies around and picking up messes and poopy diapers and whatever else happens througout the day, that such a sweet little gesture can just brighten my day and cheer me right up. Its things like that, that make it all worth it.
Game Day!
So this morning HD and I were watching college game day and i saw baylee pushing a chair from the kitchen into our bedroom, and followed her to see what she was trying to get into, and she pushed it up to the closet, and was reaching for HD's football helmet. So I helped her get it down and put it on her, and she ran right into the livingroom to show HD, yelling "football touchdown daddy!" HD then thought that it would be fun to put his jersey on her too, and she ran into her bedroom and grabbed the football. She was all ready to go! It was very cute.

summer
So here are some pictures taken in the last couple of months that I just hadn't posted yet. I'm sorry it took me so long. I would have had pics from Utah too but I realised when we got down there that the camera's batteries were dead... so yeah I'll work on it :) I'll probably be posting A LOT of pictures when it starts snowing simply because I'll have A LOT of free time! haha Laycee is starting to pull herself up to stand now. I think she's determined to be like Baylee. She gets SSSOOO frusturated when she can't stand up all the way or falls over. At least she doesn't give up right?
