Hello all! We've moved (again) and are starting to get settled. Still waiting for our house to sell, so we are in a pet-friendly lease to purchase house. That's right. After three months of living in a furnished house, we moved again and have reunited with our fur babies.

Both boys (M&m) have been busy in Massachusetts. Big M started nursery school in March. His age group goes two days a week for about six hours a day. We also joined the local YMCA when Little turned three months old--allowing me to put both boys in child watch while I released some endorphins! Big M has already finished his first swim class at the Y and he loved it!
D really likes his new job, but it has kept him very busy and away from us more than we anticipated. D has been traveling a lot lately, so I have been a single mom. His trips are usually a week in length, so I do what I can to keep Big M busy while continuing to nurse Little m. As long as Big M is busy moving, working a puzzle, watching a video, playing on the iPhone or iPad, or playing with trains he is happy. If he gets bored, he climbs, tries to escape, or help himself to something out of reach; he is very, very smart and busy!

Little m started eating solids last week and he has loved it. He's been ready for a few weeks (grabbing my cup or plate when I ate or drank anything), but I wanted us to move before starting him on rice cereal. After his second bite, he grabbed the spoon and tried to feed himself. He is teething and hungry. D set up Little m's crib after we moved, so I am getting him acclimated to his own bed and hopefully getting him out of ours! He has napped a few times successfully and slept one full night in his crib, but his swollen gums have upset him and the transition is a continuing work in progress. I am looking forward to a few good night's sleep in a row...
That's about it for now. The boys and two moves have kept me extremely busy. Let me know if you would like to visit us in the Cape. The weather is mild and we are walking distance to a recreational pond.
My apologies if I haven't responded to an email or call. It's been pretty hectic with two moves, two kids, two cats, and two dogs...too bad there isn't two of me. Please keep in touch and I will do better about doing the same on my end. Big hugs!
Please note, regarding blog updates and photo sharing: I typed this on my iPhone (it's a lot easier to hold than a laptop when nursing a baby) and will share photos and videos when I am near a computer--you know, in my spare time!
