Non-stop weekend...

What started off as an eventful weekend for the family, ended up exhausting everyone. From early morning Saturday, to Sunday evening, it felt like we were on the go with no stop in sight. And here it is, Monday once again, to begin yet another work week. *Sigh* I think we need a vacation!

Aside from the chores and errands we normally do on our days off, this weekend we took the kids to two family birthday parties. While neither party was overwhelming, there was just enough action and excitement to tire our two little ones out. Isaiah has been a bit on the touchy side this weekend, and it's mainly due to the new teeth that are cutting in. Although they're not molars, he's letting us know that he's uncomfortable, and it seems that he can only find real comfort in either mommy or me. The bad part is that he'll wake up early (or should I say, earlier than normal) and he'll fuss around in his crib as he tries to soothe himself back to sleep. He's getting better at calming himself down, but it's a lot harder when he's in pain. The discomfort will pass soon enough, so for now, we'll just have to hold our breath until it does.

Makenna was in her own little world at both birthday parties, enjoying anything and everything she could get her hands on. She's at a great age where she's becoming more observant of her surroundings, and learning lots of new words in the process. She's also started her own version of "people watching," and it's so funny to watch her as she watches others. It's as if you can see her brain at work as she tries to make sense of what she sees. Her personality is coming out more and we've gotten many compliments on how outgoing she appears to be. When we hear stuff like that, we're both in a state of shock at how quickly our daughter is growing. It won't be too long before Isaiah gets to this point!
