Just a quick update before the kiddos wake up. I'm knocking on wood as I write this but both kids are healthy and have been sleeping really well in the last couple of days. Kennon has slept from like 9 to 7 for the last 2 nights and has been taking really good naps as well....!! Eric and I are so thankful for a full nights sleep. We are feeding Kennon 'real food' three times a day now, or at least trying to do so. 'Double Time' mommy shows up for meals now!! Maybe if your lucky you'll get to see 'Double Time' mommy in action at some meal over the holidays. Maddox thinks it is hilarious. I"m sure you are all sitting reading this with puzzled looks right now. I find that being a mom sometimes brings out the silly side in ya and if it makes your kids laugh AND they eat their meals and drink their water then it is well worth the humiliation. Then again Double Time mommy only comes out in the comforts of her own home! Oh, I love my kiddos so much I'd do anything to make them laugh and smile. So he gets cereal in the morning, peas at noon time ( I pack them in a little container and they feed him at Kcare) and then cereal again at dinner IN ADDITION to several times nursing from me or getting bottles at Kcare. So I'm not sure if the antibiotics are working on his ear infection and he is finally pain free and can sleep or if it is the addition of the peas. We had started cereal a couple of weeks ago and that really didn't seem to help him sleep any better. But, Monday I started peas and he has done well since. He LOVES the peas even more so than the cereal. So hopefully that's a good sign that he will continue to love more 'real foods'. He is growing growing growing. I put him in a 9 month outfit yesterday and it was not any too big. Maddox, Kennon and I went to our neighborhood playgroup today. Maddox did SO WELL. I was so proud of her. She did really well sharing and gave almost all of the little girls hugs and even kisses. She is soooo growing up. Well, I'll get the video uploaded while they are STILL sleeping. I can't believe it....both of them down since 12.30pm in their beds and it is almost 3pm right now. A mom's dream. We are looking forward to the Hawkeye game this weekend. Grammy Marti and Papa Dick will be over to sit with the kids. Hopefully the Hawks will pull off a win. AND THEN it will almost be time for the Knowles family to travel to Iowa. We are so excited and can't wait to see the cousins all together. What a special week it will be. Take care for now. Kennon found his toes today!!
