Sleeping anyway we can get it
As Ryland has gotten older he is more curious and wants to look at everything. That's fine until he needs to go to sleep and he can because he so busy staring at everything. Here is our cure for now:
Blankets over him when he sleeps. When he's in his bouncy seat or laying in the bed with us we put a cloth diaper over his face to help him fall asleep. As soon as he's in deep slumber we move it, but this helps us for now.

Since becoming a mom of two
Everyone said it was harder going from one child to two, then zero to one. I couldn't agree more! Connor had all the attention and now has to share it. Ryland doesn't understand how to wait, when he's hungry, he's hungry right now and I have to feed him at that moment. Connor's done pretty well overall he just needs more mommy and daddy time that just isn't there.
Along with going from 1 to 2 kids is more laundry. We decided to do cloth diapers, which I love but man at the laundry. I have a load I need to wash right now actually. I kinda went over board buying at first so Ryland has a good amount so I can skip a few days, but soon I will have to wash every 2 days or poor kid won't have any diapers.
And potty training, well that's just a disaster right now. He has really good days and really bad days. Like this week, both Monday and Tuesday when I picked him up he was in different pants than I dropped him off in. His regular teacher was out sick so I think that was the problem, but on the other hand sometimes I think he just doesn't go to the potty to get attention. Because in that moment when we're talking about not going in his Pull-Up all eyes are on him and he enjoys it.
Am I happy? Yes. Am I tied? OH YES! Stressed? More than you'll ever know. Would I change a thing? Probably not!

Christmas 2009
Christmas 2009 was very interesting. Lee was here a few days prior (so much fun) and The Christmas Eve 2009 Blizzard came through. Record setting snow fell and we had a white Christmas. Jeremy and I had never seen snow (stuff in FL does not count) so we were excited. One of my new years resolutions is to contribute more to the blog and post less pictures on Facebook. Here are a few pictures:
