Ok, ok, I truly suck at blogging

3 months, wow, that is inexcusable! I have the same old excuses though, work plus 2 kids equals crazy busy-ness all the friggin time. I'll spare you an insignificant details and focus on the big stuff with the little ladies:

Gabriella

• Is fully potty trained now. She wore her underwear to daycare for the 1st time today. She still has her accidents - ESP if she's overly excited about something - as in not that she'll pee herself, but rather if she's too enthralled/busy with something she'll refuse to be bothered with going to the bathroom and using the potty. Last week she crapped behind my loveseat - fun times. I think we're past that point now, thankfully!
• Has been signed up for preschool this fall! EEEK! I can hardly believe it. And let me tell ya, she is so flippin excited to go. She asks me every day "mama, I go to school?" Lol, no honey, schools closed until September
• This child talks non-stop all day long. People would call her Gabby if I let them, lol.
• Dealing with some slight jealousy issues with Emilia so has been especially mommy needy lately. Its really exhausting

Emilia

• Started cereals then baby foods, at 4 months and 4 months and 3 weeks respectively. I have to say, she was very different than G when it came to 1st starting foods. G was all over it from the get go. Emilia not so much. It took her quite a few weeks to warm up to cereal and then a while to warm up to the way fruits and veggies taste. Now? She's an animal and can't get enough. She loves everything, but especially loves ALL veggies and bananas.
• Can roll from tummy to back and back to tummy. We had a rough patch for a few weeks where she'd roll onto her tummy for sleeping but then couldn't quite roll herself back over while sleepy. Hopefully we're past that now
• She usually takes 2 sizeable naps and sleeps about 11-12 hrs over night. She usually falls asleep between 6 and 6.30pm and then wakes and starts messing around in her crib about 5.30ish.
• Is the happiest and most joyful baby ever. I swear if someone told me when I was in the midst of colic hell that she would have turn into the most amazingly happy and exuberant baby I would have called them a liar ten times over.
• She days away from her 6 month appt and I can't wait to see how big she is!

I think that's the major stuff with double trouble. Emilia adores her sister and laughs at Gabriella's slightest chuckle. I'm looking forward to the day when Gabriella will reciprocate her sister's affection for her....sigh.

In terms of what's new with me....Chris and I started p90x about a month ago. I have lost about 3-4 lbs and a few inches. I am pleased with my progress but heck I have to say, with the amount I'm putting into this I wish I was seeing more. Alas, the program is only 1/3 of the way completed so hopefully I'll be more enamored soon. I am also really super close to landing myself an amazing job - fingers crossed!

Will post more soon - I swear! No more empty promises! I think by now I've probably lost all my usual blog readers! Which, by the way, just b/c I'm not posting doesn't mean I have been reading about all of you!
