May was a ridiculously busy month for us. We kicked off the month with a trip to Georgia to visit my sister in law, Jennifer, who had a baby- coincidentally on Jacen's birthday!- and for his blessing, and then we headed down to Orlando to spend a few days at Disney World! We had such a good time in Georgia visiting Elijah's dad's side of the family and got to be with Grandma and Grandpa Caswell. Grandpa Caswell is about to pass away, which makes that trip extra special for us.
The boys had such a great time at Disney World! It was hot and humid, which is why I have no comment on the matter. BUT I did enjoy the food and being with the family :) We had never been on vacation where it was just us so that was definitely a cool thing to experience.
Jacen had such a blast. He nearly had a coronary when he saw Mickey Mouse for the first time. I unfortunately do not have all the pics with my camera so I have to upload more from Elijah's camera. I will get them on here as soon as possible. But anyway. He LOVED meeting all the characters and getting their autographs on his autograph book. He and Andrew got Mickey ears with their names embroidered on them as their big souveniers. We're not big souvenier people but I wanted something that he could look at and retrieve all the fun memories. As for Andrew... that's just for him to know he really was at Disney World heehee
When we got back from our trip we got busy with me going back to school... which backfired and I ended up dropping my classes. I just didn't have enough time to study like I wanted to, which makes me very sad. I really love school, but I also love my boys enough to not leave them with a babysitter for 40 hrs/week. So I'm undecided as to whether or not I'll be going back to school. It's a very heartbreaking decision for me. But in the mean time, I get to take pictures of the 3 year old, who decides to wear fireman rain boots with shorts, and sunglasses. What he is holding is the shaft of a plastic golf club, which was a gun that day. The day before it was a sword. He even makes markers turn into guns and swords. He's such a crack up.
And... sweet little Andrew. Awww, how I love him :) The little man is 5 months old already. He is reaching for toys and loves to blow out his diapers. There are no diapers in this world that can withstand the power his poops have on their way out. He definitely has learned some things from his brother and dad! He is so precious. He rolls to one side or the other, and learned to blow bubbles with his mouth. He's constantly smiling, and for the most part, a pretty laid back kid. He started eating solids shortly after we came back from vacation, and although he did great with it, he quit taking his bottles. Then a couple weeks later he stopped eating solids. We can't figure out why all he wants to do is nurse. Elijah has been going crazy at home during the nights I work because Andrew will scream his head off but won't take a bottle, nor will he eat food. *sigh* What a battle. His projectile vomiting has kind of gotten under control, but now when he vomits, it's like a broken sprinkler head- just keeps gushing out. Poor kid :( But he is so cute and we love him so much. Big brother Jacen loves to caress his head and give him kisses. They're so cute together.
He's getting so big I can hardly believe it... when I blink again, he'll be crawling. I know it, because it happened with Jacen. Now all I wish for is for Andrew to start sleeping long stretches of time. That would really help out tremendously. Do you think babies can grant their mommies' wishes?
