New look

Well, I think I've finally decided on a new look here for the blog. I've been playing around with some free templates from "cutestblogontheblock". I had a design picked out but "someone" stole it from me. (Kidding!!!) As I played around with other options, I kept coming back to ones similar to the same look. Of course a few in the middle had some backgrounds that were too dark or page elements that were creeping into my text of my posts. I guess this one has the best of all worlds. For now.

So, the boys have been quite busy. Caleb has graduated out of his Thomas the Train shoes. For the last few years his new shoes had to be a bigger size of the same Thomas shoes. But now he wanted Batman ones. Sigh, a small silly thing but to me shows how he's becoming a big boy already.

Cameron will go through being a baby at hyper speed I think. He's into full blown crawling and now has also started to pull himself up on things. He pulled himself all the way to standing in his crib the other night. The first few times he let go and fell back. The third time he bent his knees and landed on his butt. He does not like to sit still in his seat anymore but to let him out requires close watching to keep him from bumping into things or falling down. That phase of staying where I put him really went by fast!!!

Of course we have the trade off in that many nights now he is sleeping through. This morning had a 4am wakeup but he did go back to sleep. I had to wake him up to get ready to go to daycare. He was happy and smiling though.

I'm still feeling tired at times and scatter brained. So I'm just amazed at how long I did function with the more severe sleep deprivation. Thank goodness perhaps the worst of it is behind us. I know there will be times of sleepless nights but ideally the constant routine of them is mostly gone. We'll see.

So it's a Friday and so the weekend is almost upon us. Maybe we will take out fall decorations and bake something yummy with pumpkin and spices in it. Make it feel like fall for us.

Hope everyone is doing well. Take care,
