2 is more than double 1…

I know – I swear I passed 2nd grade math, but by my calculations here at home, 2 kids is more than double 1 kid. It is more than double hard to get 2 kids ready to leave for daycare, more than double hard to get laundry done, and more than double hard to get the kitchen cleaned up – and one of the kids is still breastfeeding!!! Maybe it’s because they are so close in age and Marielle isn’t doing much for herself yet, like dressing herself or eating by herself. But getting them ready is proving to be more complicated than I thought… I am back at work and loving it, but it does leave the house work lagging behind. I’m not much for housework anyway, so I guess it’s not that much of a loss! I love the maid!! I have to be honest and say that I would not have it any other way around here.

I am sad to see the other site go – it was always fun for me to go and look back at old pics of how little Marielle was and how stupid I sounded on that video when she rolled over! You would have thought she was elected president or something the way I was screaming! So, Aliza has been doing much better and has stopped crying so much. She still cries, but all babies do. We brought her to the doctor countless amount of times and couldn’t figure a good reason for all her crying. We still don’t know, but I am sure glad it’s better!! Hopefully soon, we’ll be able to take her out more and start enjoying her!! She is so YUMMY!! I could just eat her head off!! And she rolled over the other day!! I put her down for tummy time,
