Absent this Week

So I want to apologize for having been absent on the blog so far this week. Last week I was on my own with the two boys while my husband traveled for work. So I have been a little lazy this week. It is crazy how much work it takes to wrangle two toddlers. Half of the time I don't know which way I am going. Add to that the fact that I am 28 weeks pregnant and you have me. A MESS! Today the boys are both napping at the same time so I feel as though this is just one victory for me. I will get back to my regular schedule posting giveaways this weekend. Feel free to follow me on twitter. I usually manage to tweet all the giveaways through out the day! Here is a picture to hold you all over until I am back on my game!

A Morning with My Little Man

This is Austin feeding himself some yogurt this morning. He hates being messy so he gave up after awhile. For those of you who don't know, he will be 17 months on August 1! I can't believe how quickly he is growing! :)

I thought it was supposed to be easier this time....

Okay. So as many of you know I am 26 weeks pregnant with boy #2. I have done this all before. So why is it that this kid seems to be applying way more pressure than the first time around. I feel like he is just going to fall right out while I am walking up the stairs. Sorry if that is TMI. I just purchased a maternity belt 2 days ago and it has been my lifesaver. It is keeping Landon in for now! I guess chasing two 16 month old toddlers around everyday doesn't help. Ok...thats all for now. Just wanted to share that random thought with you all!

16 months and Counting!

Today Austin turned 16 months. I cannot believe that my baby boy is growing up so quickly. He has such an amazing personality and wants to do everything he sees Mommy and Daddy do. He likes to help by throwing garbage away, dusting, and attempting to vacuum. Today he even tried to brush the dog. Where has the time gone?

For those of you who are interested, I will be putting up some photos on my blog in the near future. Unfortunately, my laptop is down. When I get it up I will post updated photos of Austin and his buddy Sam. Hope you all have a wonderful 4th of July!
