So here's my update for the past two weeks. I have been doing absolutely NOTHING!!!!! Yes, hold on to your seats, I know it's so exciting! No really though. I have been doing a lot of sewing lately (Baby blankets, burp rags, car seat covers) and I've been keeping busy with crafts lately too. I have a new nephew and niece both coming in about a month, so I've been busy with their gifts! (Not because the mom's want anything, but more because I get bored and sick of my kids, and crafting is the only way I can tune out my kiddos)Jaxon has been so stinking fussy lately. He cries all the time. He'll cry for 2 days straight and then be really good for a day, then go back to crying again. I seriously let him cry for like 2 hours last night. What am I supposed to do???? I don't want to keep waking up with him and letting him get used to me holding him or rocking him back to sleep, so I just let him cry. But seriously, he doesn't stop after a few minutes. It lasts for hours. But when I get him he's just the happiest, cutest little baby. AAAAHHHH! Oh well, small price to pay for such a beautiful baby I guess. I love him to pieces, I'm just a little frustrated.
Logan on the other hand has been AMAZING!!! He is completely potty trained, even at night! I didn't want to potty train at night yet, but he started waking up in the middle of the night and asking to go pee, so we stopped putting diapers on him at night. He has an accident at night maybe once a week, but considering it's only been about 4 weeks total of potty training, I think he's doing sooooooo good. He still has accidents sometimes during the day too, like when he's busy playing at the park. But Seriously, he's such a big boy and we're so proud of him. He's been doing play dates with his friends from church lately and that has been really good for both him and mommy!!! He loves Jaxon so much that he tried to play catch with him, and threw a hard ball right at Jaxon's head! What are you gonna do???? Oh, and the other day we were in the car pulling onto the road, and Logan looks outside the window and says, "Oh my Josh!!!" We had no idea what he was OMG-ing about, but it was too funny. Then yesterday he went to the bathroom and didn't put his underwear back on, so we asked him where his undies were. He said "Umm, I lost dem." That kid is something else.
Brian is still loving his stressful but exciting job at Petsmart, and is currently working on budgeting 1.1 million dollars for Paid Search advertising for all of Petsmart. (Ya, I'm not really sure what Paid search is, but I think it has to do with Internet ads) Anywho, he is so lucky to have a great job!
So now that my kids are both asleep and today is Monday Laundry day, I better get busy! Oh yeah, I made this really yummy bean dip salsa yesterday, and it's super healthy and WAY good! It was pretty easy too.(I got the recipe from Emily). You should try it. It's called Texas Caviar. Here's the recipe:
Texas Caviar (Yummy Beany Salsa Dip)

K tomorrow I'm gonna call you. I need to put a reminder on my phone or something! Sorry to hear that Jaxson is giving you a hard time:( He is super cute though:) At least Logan is being good:) It'll get better. I was having the same issues, but when they get on solid food that helps too.
