So Much to Share, So Little Time...

I am so completely ashamed of how awful I have been with updating on how our boys are growing. I don't have any good excuses. I have been lazy with the free time I get and instead watch a movie or TV show on Netflix. I can easily make time to update more but when the boys are napping I am running around the house trying to do everything I can't when they are awake. When they are finally both in bed at night I run around trying to finish everything I can manage before Dane wakes up and decides he is done in the crib and wants snuggles the rest of the night (and really, I am not ready to give that up so I willingly take him to bed and snuggle and veg out with some TV on my phone. I justify it to myself while also hating that I didn't make more time for the boys, myself, the house, Scott, and a million other things that need my time. Seriously, there are never enough hours in the day to maintain life and also get to the neglected items. Someday, right? I sure hope so, but not too soon because I suspect that will mean my boys are grown and too busy for me, sad thought!

Anyway, a few cute pictures from my phone and a promise to get on top of the many, many missing posts and pictures from our blog!

And He's Off...

Dane has decided that it is time to be on the move. He has been working himself backwards and from side to side for a while now. He has started moving forward now and I can imagine that by the time we are headed home from PA, he will be moving a lot faster than the army crawl crossed with a hand/foot crawl he is currently starting with. It is fun to watch because Gavin started crawling a bit differently and didn't do it for long (he had been pulling to standing and cruising for about 6 weeks by the time he started crawling around) because he just wanted to walk. Dane isn't quite to that point yet, although he is pulling up on some things, he is still working on that and so he isn't cruising around yet. I am hoping that Dane will be happy with crawling for a lot longer because I am certainly not ready for him to be walking anytime soon! I guess we need to get the gate back up at the top of the stairs when we get home!
