Back to the grind...

Both Mommy & Daddy are back to work today. It's probably more of a shock for Enz, especially since she's been off for the last four months, but for now, we'll do our best to not shoot for #3 so quickly =) Hehehe, just a little Monday humor...

Being at home last week was just like being at work, only with two goofy little smiling faces to get me through the day. There was a certain stress level being at home, mainly because we're still trying to get Isaiah through all this mess with his insides. We can't quite figure out what's going on in the little guy's belly, and he's got his good days as well as his bad days. For the most part, he's still a happy camper, and has recently found his hands. He's been able to grasp his pacifier, and pull it out of his mouth, although he's still working on putting it back in. He's also able to grab onto his rings and put those in his mouth (usually until Makenna comes by and takes them away). Finally, he's also able to activate this musical turtle he has in his crib. We thought it was by chance that he hit the button on it which turns on the music, but if he's awake, he's shooting for that button! We can see him through the baby monitor, trying and trying until he gets to it, and when he does, he enjoys it! The tunes will sometimes soothe him enough to put him to sleep, but it's usually hit or miss with this kid!


Makenna continues to develop into our little entertainer. She's been extremely chatty as of late, and has even surprised us with a word or two! Her little attitude has also started to show more, and she gets easily frustrated if she can't figure something out (like Mommy), ha ha ha! Makenna is quickly becoming the independent one, as she attempts to do things on her own. Of course when she finally figures out that she can't do something (after her mini-fit of rage), she'll look up to either one of us as if she's asking for help. Once we help her, she's all smiles again! She enjoys being outside, much like any other kid, and we'll usually bring her along when one of us needs to run a quick errand. As much as she loves her little brother, we'll catch her tormenting him every now and then. Her favorite thing to do to him is take away whatever he's playing with, which really doesn't bother Isaiah since he's so in awe of her. She can be mischievous like that, but at the end of the day, she's always got a kiss for him.
