Never a dull moment

 What a week – I haven’t been able to sit down and blog, and now I don’t know where to start!  I guess I’ll start with today and work backwards because the fun never stops around here and I have stories gallore running through my head!

* While taking a shower today, I had Tripp sitting in his baby tub (so he could sit and play with toys without falling backwards) and Abby Ruth was also in the bathroom.  This is a normal occurance – as most mommas know, you don’t ever get to shower alone!  Usually they are fine – sometimes Tripp will fuss, or Abby will get into something she shouldn’t, but today definitely takes the cake!  I stepped out of the shower to watch my daughter pour a cup of water over her brother’s head.  I had to cover my mouth with the towel so Abby Ruth wouldn’t see me laughing… the look on Tripp’s face was priceless!  I did scold her and took her to bed (it was naptime anyway) – hopefully she won’t do that again, and if you are wondering why I was upset, stop for a  moment and think about where she got that water…  Tripp was then given a bath :-)

* Abby Ruth has been adding to her vocabulary on a daily basis – last week it was: dark, stuck, tear, tissue – just to name a few.  Now she is starting to string words together and she says the FUNNIEST things!  Sunday we had the following conversation at the breakfast table… Abby: “Abby and Doot Doot stuck!”  Me: “You’re stuck?  Do you want to get down?” (She got down from the table and walked over to Tripp’s highchair) Abby to Tripp: “Are you stuck?  Don’t be stuck!  Mommy, Doot Doot stuck!”  She cracks me up!

* We have a picture frame in the stairwell with pictures of many different family members in it.  After naptime the other day Abby Ruth randomly started naming EVERYONE in the frame.  It is amazing what she notices and picks up on everyday!   

* Tripp is starting to crawl!  He isn’t up on hands and knees yet but can scoot around on his own and is sooo much happier for it!  He does get up on his knees but hasn’t figured out the rhythm yet.  Abby Ruth never crawled (until after she had started walking) so it is really fun to see this stage in development!

* Running update – I ran 2.5 miles without stopping!  2 months ago I went back to the gym and couldn’t run more than .25 miles without needing a break – since then I’ve lost 4 pounds and am running over 3 miles each workout.  I can definitely tell a difference and I’m excited that my hard work is paying off - I’m officially BELOW pre-Abby Ruth weight and feeling great!!!

Like I said, there is truly never a dull moment at our house.  We are busy with life and loving almost every minute of it ;-)
