Already Mommies:
LOs Age(s): Zack - 9 mo; Delilah - 3 yrs
Best part of your week? We had a nice weekend filled with the zoo, having friends over, and visiting my brother.
Worst part of your week? Terrible sleeping night for Zack on Sat. night. Then he woke just before 3 last night, fell asleep after nursing for an hour, only to wake when I tried transferring him to his crib. H took over so I could get ready and Zack fell asleep across his lap. Then the little bugger was so exhausted and wouldn't wake to nurse before I left. Put him back in his crib until it was time to leave and was even able to transefer him to the carseat without waking him. If only we could nap.....
Milestones? Zack had three teeth cut through on the top, for a total of five teeth now.
PIP those kiddos!
Here's Zack exhausted this morning as we tried to wake him, a few pics of the kids at the zoo, and one at my brother's.
