My Little Pumpkins:)

Wow... this is a day to put in the books! I certainly do post to our blog a lot but usually I just send them from my cell phone! Today, I actually am using the computer keyboard! That is BIG around here! I must admit that though I do not have time to log onto blogger and post everyday (since my 2 little pumpkins keep me on the move) posting pictures, videos and posts under 1000 characters via my cell phone has become a great way to keep w8tn42and3 updated! Sorry to all of you for the many typos but I am sure those of you who text on the run understand how difficult it is to text with one hand while holding the baby... or feeding the baby... or playing doll house with the big sister ... can be! What can I say??? When it comes to tiny buttons on the cell phone I am all thumbs!






As a family... we have been doing super great! Shasha is getting better and better everyday and overcoming the "I am not the only child" syndrome! She really is a great big sister and she is a super helper! She loves Po so much and shows him all the time by pinching his little cheeks and hugging him... and holding him around the neck... and just plain smothering him! We are using all of our available time to do things as a family! We went to the movies TOGETHER. We go out to eat A LOT (that would explain that 5 lbs I gained since we are home from Taiwan!). We went to pick apples and pumpkins. We saw Disn@y @n Ice. We play together. We shop together. Cuddle together. Take naps together. We do EVERYTHING together! Let's just say that we stay really busy TOGETHER! And, ya know what... I love it!

I am happy to report that I am happy because Po is now sleeping through the night! We just found out through trial and error that Po HATES... No, REALLY HATES... his big crib! So... after a few test nights with Shasha and I sleeping on the couch so we could be close to Po in his Porta-crib... we have now moved the magical Porta-crib to Shasha's room where my littlest pumpkin now sleeps straight through the night from about 8:30 pm until 7 am! It feels so good to get sleep! I feel like a new woman!

Po eats everything in sight! He loves food and I wouldn't doubt that he has gained some weight since he came home from Taiwan either! He weighed in at just 15 lbs exactly when we brought him home and I would venture to say that he is a good 16 or 16 and 1/2 now since his 6-9 month clothes are starting to look like they fit! His new faves include... mashed potatoes and the soft vegetables from soup! Oh... and just last night I think he declared that he loves C@ol Whip!

I honestly can say that I have NEVER been happier! I love my puppies and I love my Scott my 2 little pumpkins with all of my heart! I have been so in love with Shasha for so many years I honestly couldn't imagine how I would have enough love to go around once we added Po to our forever family. But... I realize now that LOVE just grows! It is like Santa's magic toy bag... the extra love just magically appears... and there is always more... even when the bag appears to be empty!
