I went running last night with some ladies from my ward. We did 3.5 miles, but I only ran 2.5 and then had to stop and walk for about a half mile. I was fine until I hit 2 miles, and then we started running uphill. It kicked my butt. I hate not being able to keep up with people that I’m running with, so I was bummed that I had to stop and walk, but I’ll allow it since I haven’t been running since I was like 15 weeks pregnant. Hopefully I’ll be able to go farther next time. There was a time in my life when I couldn’t even run a mile, so it’s at least an improvement from where I used to be.
Today after I dropped Easton off at school, I took the younger boys to Target and the grocery store with me. Then we came home and fed Logan until it was time to go get Easton. After I fed the boys lunch, I had to drop off some paperwork for our adoption at the legal aid office. Then we came home and I got dinner started. I took dinner to a family in our ward who just had a baby last week, and then I went to the baby shower of the mom who I took dinner to. Her baby came earlier than expected so the baby shower got pushed until today.
My days are always full of things that need to get done but seem to not. It’s hard when you add a baby into the mix. When Logan naps there about 3 hours worth of things that I need to get done in one hour, so some things just don’t get done. That’s okay, I suppose.
Last night Logan slept until 5:30 without waking up. I actually woke up at 5am wondering why he hadn’t woken up yet. He’s gradually stretching a little bit longer each night. He is my most favorite in the morning. He is so smiley and just a pleasant little baby. He started to follow my face with his eyes probably a couple weeks ago. Sometimes in the morning I bring him in my bed and let him sleep with me a little bit longer, and he is so sweet sleeping on my belly. I’m really enjoying our cuddles lately, and I feel like he’s grown to the point that I feel like, “Okay, this isn’t so bad. I could have another baby.” After he eats during the day, he’ll happily lay on the couch for an hour just looking around and smiling when we talk to him. He tends to only be fussy if he’s tired or hungry. So I’m able to get things done while he’s awake, which is very nice. Sometimes babies are fussy and need to be entertained, but I have been very grateful that he’s content to just sit by himself and look around. The boys love to talk to and kiss him all day, and they can sometimes annoy him a little when they are all up in his face.
We had a good FHE last night on the Priesthood. I love how Easton is at an age where he is starting to get things. It’s amazing to watch your children grow into people with their own unique personalities. He and Jacob were playing rock paper scissors after FHE was over, and he was cracking us up with some of the things he was saying. He always says funny things, and I love who he is. He is so sweet and so smart and so insightful for a 6-year-old. He understands things that we don’t even explain to him. It’s weird to think that he was ever Logan’s age. It seems so long ago. Now he’s my big grown-up 6-year-old. I just love him.
Teagan is always our playful little guy. He has been quite whiney lately, though. Instead of asking for help with things, he’ll just cry first. I don’t understand it, and it can be frustrating. I hope he gets past this stage soon so that I don’t have to listen to whining all day for no good reason. He’ll whine because he wants milk. Or a snack. Or he’s tired. But he won’t just tell me in a nice way, he’ll whine first. My friends say their children do this too. He is so super cute, though, and really fun when he’s not whining. I’m sure he’s adjusting to not being the baby anymore.
I took a couple pics of the boys sitting together on the couch today. You can tell they love Logan. And Mr. Logan is starting to put on some chub. He’ll be 7 weeks tomorrow. We’re really beginning to enjoy him. He makes me laugh in pictures because he always has really big eyes.
