Sleep... where did it go?!?

I feel like we have a newborn again!! James decided that he should be awake from midnight until 2:30 last night. He just would not got back to sleep... and since they have both been sick, we all are lacking sleep these past few days! The great news is that both kids are fever free and starting to eat well again. James started eating yogurt yesterday. He seems to really like it. So far, his favorites are acorn squash, sweet potatoes, pears and oatmeal. He doesn't really like peaches, bananas and green beans, but he will eat them. There has not been anything yet that he refuses to eat! :) Isn't he cute in the Bob the Builder hat?!? Here is Jemma in the pants she calls her "doctor pants" which I don't know why. She loves building with blocks.

I took Jemma to the doctor on Tuesday because her cough was worrisome. I love our doctor. She is so patient and explains everything so wonderfully and she always sees us the same day that we call. I called Tuesday morning at 8:45 and we were in her office at 10. It was our third trip to visit her in less than 3 weeks. First it was the red splotches, then it was croup and now it is a cough. She gave us a presciption for some cough syrup and the cough is still there but getting better. Jemma is up to 28 lbs... James is just over 21 lbs... my shoulders and back are sore from carrying them around so much lately! Here they are playing together.

We went to Hunt Club Farm today. We went on a hayride, Jemma played on the hay stack and petted the goats and a chicken, then we got pumpkins for Jemma and James. The kids had fun!! :) For anyone looking for a baby bathtub, I highly recommend the Eurobath by Primo. It is a great shower gift! James can sit up by himself or lean back and splash. Tonight, he was sitting up in the tub while I gave Jemma a shower. He was just so happy to play with his bathtoys and giggle at his sister! I didn't worry about him because he could lean back and the sides didn't allow him to roll over and he was secure. It is so nice to be able to have both kids in the bath together! Jim is still at work and the kids are in bed... I'm going to finish watching Grey's Anatomy and then I'm off to bed too.
