Getting used to the chaos...

Well all is going great here...a few crazy moments, but mostly fun, enjoyable moments with new little Gavin around. Gavin is still such a joy! He really knows how to melt my heart. When I am holding him he will put his little face into my neck, nestle in and fall asleep. Sometimes his little mouth moves and it feels like he is kissing me! He also loves me to cradle him and he will just sit and stare up at me. CUTE!!!! He has his fussy moments, but for the most part he is a great baby.
Emma is doing pretty well with the adjustment to Gavin. I was so worried about her getting jealous, which has not really been the case. The biggest problem we are having with her is her mischeivousness has gone up about 5 levels! She knows I am more occupied and so she has started to get into things more and more. She has an ear infection and knew that I give her medicine for that so she climbed up to a high counter and opened the medicine bottle. I caught her before she drank any of it, but then this morning she got out of bed before any of us were up and got into the medicine cabinet and drank some allergy medicine!!!!!!!! On Saturday Emma was into our closet that has the iron and ironing board in it. The irons cord was hanging down and she must have pulled it and it came falling on her HEAD!!!!! Poor thing had a cut right on top of her head that was bleeding profusely! I was freaked out when I turned the corner and saw her. I was feeding the baby and had to hurry and put him down. That caused him to scream and cry while I was trying to stop the bleeding on Emma. Meanwhile the blood and the situation made me light headed and made me want to throw up! I had to sit down...so here I with Gavin feeding on my left side, holding ice on Emma's head on the right side and I am ready to pass out! So I asked Luke to help. I told him to grab a book or something to fan me! He grabs a burp cloth and starts fanning me with it!!!! His arms got tired and so he stood in front of me blowing on me! What a cute little helpful kid! So I know what you are all thinking.....all these little occurances are in every safety video and child-proofing video of what not to do...please don't turn me in to child services! I'm just not used to Emma's elevated mischeif level but we are adjusting! :)

Well here are a few of the cute and funny things Luke and Emma have been saying the past couple of weeks:
• Luke has heard me say that Gavin is so cute that I could just eat him up, and so now he always tells me that he wants to eat Gavin!
• I called Emma a stinker and Luke said "You can say that again" :)
• Luke's new joke, which we all have said when we were young, I just can't believe he is at the joke telling age: "Why is 6 afraid of 7? Because 7, 8, 9" :)
• Luke has heard people say Gavin is gorgeous and so now he says "Mom, Gavin is such a gorgeous baby". It's so cute to hear coming out of little Luke's mouth!
• Emma's new thing she says "I can't believe it"
• She also told me the other day that she was so "freaked out"
Well that's all folks! Love ya!
