Long time, no type

Life is a little hectic around here. Since my last update we have had a bit of excitement. Bree ended up getting pneumonia, and that prolonged our seperation parenting technique. After a dose of steroids she is back on the mend and we hope that this is for good this time! She is getting so big so fast...it is crazy.

Riley is still having a hard time adjusting to the level of attention she is getting (or lack there of) and has been acting out. We just got a new discipline book to read and try applying with her that was recommended to us: Positive Discipline for Preschoolers. Fingers crossed that it has some help in there for us. From what I grasp of the little bit I have browsed through the book, it is going to change up our parenting techniques a good bit. Which is needed.

Derrick is doing well and growing like a little weed. He is eating about every 2.5 to 3 hours and is staying awake for longer periods. In the past few days he has started to smile more when awake, and we have even heard a few noises like he is trying to talk.

I am tired all the time, and so is Adam. However, it is to be expected. Today is my first day home alone with them all by myself and we are doing okay. The girls are in their room right now supposed to be napping, but they are actually both on Riley's bed playing the tambourine and singing songs. Derrick is in his swing sleeping away and is due to wake up around 1 to eat. 

Hopefully it is not almost another month until I get to update!
