2 Weeks

I can't believe its been two weeks since I last posted. As you can expect, I don't get a lot of time to sit at the computer. But it has been a nice two weeks.

Two weeks ago, Kris had to start travelling for work again. My mom came down to stay with us to help me out. We spent the week shopping, going to the park, and playing. We recently moved Ryan's toys around the house, so now they are all 'new' to him. He made Nana play garage for an entire day, not wanting to do anything else or go anywhere. I was thankful for her help!
Kris came home on Friday and took Ryan to PA with him. It was the first trip that Kris has ever taken with Ryan by themselves. From what Kris said, it went wonderfully - thanks to Curious George videos! They spent the weekend at the Three Springs carnival and visiting with his family, while I spent the weekend relaxing at home with Emma. We cleaned the house to prep for Kris's mom coming out to spend some time with us (she came back with Kris and Ryan). We also went to the Independence Memorial Day parade and spent Saturday at the mall. We enjoyed ourselves and did as little as possible once the cleaning was done!
Diane stayed with us this past week, where we did the same things as with my mom - shop, go to the park and play. It was nice to have her out to see the baby and take Ryan off my hands for parts of the day. She flew out this morning. And while Kris was working on the car at work, the kids and I went to the library's kickoff to summer for free lunch! So now Ryan is outside cutting the grass with Kris, while Emma is sitting in her bouncy seat watching me (or Ryan come in and out of the house for a new bandaid).
As for the kids, Ryan has really taken to jumping everywhere. He is pretty good about staying near me in public without having to hold my hand. He isn't thrilled about his sister. He keeps wanting to move her or play with her feet (not very gently either). But overall he only seems to act up with any grandparents are here. Emma is getting big quickly although I don't think as quickly as Ryan did. Two nights ago, she finally started sleeping for a 4 hour stretch, which thrilled me. She is pretty good about going right back to sleep - although for some reason, she is up at 7am regardless of what time she last nursed at. She's pretty calm and mostly easy to manage. Her worst time is right before bed, because she is so hungry and doesn't want to wait. She's only had one or two times where she was inconsolable, usually when she keeps herself awake for too long. But overall we're all good!
