My, how time flies!

The past month has been a blur. I'm not sure why, I mean, it's almost like I just had a baby or something. D had some time off school, and that was very nice. We got some little projects done like taking down the Christmas tree and organizing the office (now it needs to be organized again). It was really nice to be able to tag team with the kids. We noticed that Squeak thinks of me as "Mama" and "Dada"--we're trying to teach her that there are two of us. Pip suddenly started sleeping longer at night (like 6-7 hours straight, which doesn't impress you unless you know that before, it was maybe 3 hours--no wonder I'm such a zombie!). D started sleeping in our room again (it was too hard to study and pass exams with Pip waking up several times a night). Pip has turned into a charming, giggling social creature. I love it!! He wasn't the easiest during the first few weeks, but he has really come around. I love his smiles and Squeak, of course, can't get enough of him. I am continuing on my journey back to normalcy. I'm happy to report that I am now able to manage two kids in cloth diapers (I had to gradually ease back into it and boy, is it a lot of laundry!!). I'm also caught up on budgeting and bills. I'm back to making my own yogurt and bread. I'm running several times a week. I should probably sign up for a race to really get myself motivated. 10K, anyone?

Squeak loves her lentes (or as my dad would say, gogles--pronounced with Spanish accent)

I finally let D take down the Christmas tree. He really enjoyed chopping it up with a machete. Our garbage can has never smelled so good!

Look, it's me breastfeeding!

Squeak was pretty excited about her new outfit from Auntie Beasta

Tummy time for everyone!
