Happy 4th!!!
I hope everyone eats 'til their hearts content. Babies were up bright eyed and bushy tailed so we are 40 mins into their long/midday nap. It's 10:37a lol. Soooo we'll see how today goes. Might have to give a 4th nap to keep them up past 5pm.
We are headed to my sisters house shortly for a cookout. The only downside is that everyone always wants to hang outside but I am always nervous it's too sunny/hot for the kids. So we might be the party poopers inside in the A/C.

Happy 4th, ladies! We are almost home after DH's run. He got 1st in his age group which is pretty good. Lilah did really well hanging around with me. Lillian is having fun with my mom and is coming home soon. Then we'll relax for the afternoon, let her play with the dog and the hose out back, and then we are grilling at my mom's house. I think we'll go over to the park to watch fireworks from the baseball stadium. Should be a pretty low key day.

Happy 4th ladies!!
We're sitting at home with no plans today. My mom has mentioned bbqing a couple times but I don't know what we're doing. It feels weird not to do anything but it would be nice to just spend the day at home too. Guess we'll see how the day goes.

Hi ladies!
We went to the parade this morning and now we're home for naptime, except that neither kid is napping lol
I might get myself an adult beverage soon. We're cooking out with H's family tonight. Usually it's fun but I'm feeling a little annoyed with/ostracized from his fam right now. I'll be getting in bed as early as possible tonight.

Trying to get an overtired 8 month old that's been up for 5 hours down for a nap. I also just cracked open a beer right before this and it's sitting in the sun roasting I'm sure. Boo.

Anyone else in sleep regression hell? Yes, just went through it while we were on vacation (which was part of the reason I disappeared...utter exhaustion). There were a few nights where I saw every hour on the clock, or almost. She seems to be coming out of it a bit; she's gotten better each of the last few nights, and last night she was basically back to her normal STTN self. Hang in there, there is light on the other side of the horrible, sleepless tunnel.

Hi friends, and happy 4th!
We went up to the pool today for the holiday celebration--they did another inflatable water slide, so B spent 3 solid hours on that. C loved the pool.
I just woke up from a nap, but C, B and my H are all still sleeping, which has to be some sort of record or miracle or something. Tonight we're grilling some burgers and then will head back up to the club for the fireworks display; I think some friends are coming over to join us.

Glad to hear sleep is improving flamingo. I felt H's gums today and there was a sharp edge if a tooth broke through (he keeps it covered with his tongue so I can't see it, but there's no mistaking the feel of it). Hoping the tooth was our issue and now that it's cut through sleep improves. Fingers crossed. I decided to do a 30 day fitness challenge with some friends on facebook. Took some Day 1 pictures and lets just say they were enough kick my butt in gear.

danib I will cross my fingers that tooth is the culprit and H starts sleeping better. With C, I've seen a bit of a developmental leap this week...she's right on the cusp of crawling (noooooo) and just today started babbling "da", "ga" and "ba" sounds...literally she went to bed just making squeals/shrieks and kind of spitty noises, and today she's making consonant sounds. I kind of wonder if that is what's been causing her rough nights.

We're definitely having developmemtal leaps too flamingo. This week alone he started crawling (army crawl) fluently, started saying dadadada, and is pulling himself to standing without me holding him. It's no wonder sleep is suffering.

D is sleeping like shit danib and flamingo and whomever else...but I attribute it entirely to being on vacation, going to bed late, taking crappy naps, etc. Question: can we make the hypothetical N16 gtg happen over Canada Day/Fourth of July? I am over spending this holiday with H's family haha. Even if we were to rent our own Cape house I am not sure it's worthwhile to be on the Cape this week of the year. Too many damn people. I'd rather see you ladies!

P.S.-In case it wasn't clear, I have had much drinks. Many drunk.

I'm afraid to type this for fear of jinxing it, but both kids stayed up past 9:30 for the fireworks display, and there were no tears at bedtime once we got home, and they're now both sound asleep. It was too easy. There must be a catch. dashook I drove through Boston one July Friday en route to Newport when everyone was headed out to the Cape. Insanity. I cannot even imagine how crazy it must get over a holiday weekend.
