So, my blogs lately have been just little tid bits and poor me....so I figured I'd update on the KIDS! So much is going on! They are growin up so quickly, and I haven't really mentioned them...

Trenton: He is learning to play on the computer. He does REALLY well, too! I've always been afraid to let him touch the computer, cuz I was afraid he'd break it, but Leon's nephew is ADDICTED to the computer, so Leon's mom taught Trent how to play this one game-he has to go through steps to make a cake, and he is REALLY good at it. I watched him today and he was awesome!!! And he is upstairs right now playing a "Word Girl" game. haha! Which should help him learn letters and stuff, I'm sure. He has got a BIT of on attitude...I have NO idea WHERE he gets it..... haha! His asthma has been acting up. I went and did my house like 3 days in a row, and he was outside a lot and downstairs in all the dust and gunk and stuff, so he had to be on the nebulizer each night after that. I took him into the dr to get him some medications, so he got a bunch of asthma stuff (inhaler, preventative meds, nebulizer meds and allergy meds...poor kiddo!!!) and he seems to be doing really well now. He can buckle himself up in the car, and he LOVES to do that. He is extremely independent. Opening food that is in a package, buckeling himself up, opening and closing doors...he likes to do it ALL HIMSELF! He gets REALLY mad if someone helps him do anything like that. haha!

Preston: He is almost 9 months (his 9 month birthday is the 15th of this month!!!) and he can crawl, pull himself up, stand for a few seconds on his own and balance. He is eating the little baby snacks. I got him some biter biscuits, some yogurt bites and some cheddar cracker things. He LOVES the biter biscuits, he make such a mess with them, but he likes them! haha! He says "dada", "mama" and "Trenton"...it is SO cute when he says Trenton. If he hears him, he'll look for him and says "Tentum" haha! It is freakin awesome! He ADORES his big brother, and his big brother adores him back. He is so helpful with him! He just learned "tickle tickle" too. Yesterday I handed him a teddy bear, and he grabbed it and said "tiggle tiggle tiggle tiggle" and then he was in his little walker bouncy chair and grabbed my leg and said "tiggle tiggle tiggle" he's freakin cute! He LOVES animals! Leon has cats, and he sees the cats and gets this HUGE cute smile on his face and reaches for them. They don't like it too much when he actually touches them, but he loves it! I was just changing his diaper and the cat was right by him, and he was grabbing the cat. Bobus just sat there, and Preston had THE biggest smile! HAHA! He likes to blow raspberries, which is really cute, except when he's EATING! I've been sprayed a few times with some colorful foods while I was feeding him and he decided that would be a good time to do that. hahaha! He also clucks his tongue.

Kids are doing great. They are growing up so much and SO quick! Trenton amazes me everyday with how smart he is! It's like overnight he just gets these ideas and knows something new without me teaching him anything!!! Yesterday he was at my mom's and she was going through her gems, and she let him play with some little "tools", and he kept asking to play with what she was using and she kept saying "you have those, these ones are for me to work on" and finally she said, "okay, I've already told you, that is for you, this is for me...if you keep asking, what is going to happen?" and he said "I won't get anything" it was just cute, cuz he remembers things better and knows consequences and can comprehend them a little better.

It all makes me so excited, and so sad how much they are growing. It is AMAZING so see them learn new things and use the new "tools" they are learning, but it is sad, cuz they are getting to be big boys, I want them to stay my LITTLE angel babies FOREVER! hahahaha

Trent hasn't yet started preschool, I haven't found a place that has any room right now...which sucks, cuz HE would enjoy it, and I'm sure it would HELP him in so many ways. Get involved with kids his age, learn new things, prepare him for kindergarten...so I'm going to keep searchin and hopefully get him in somewhere!! ASAP!

That's my update on the boys! They are my angel boys, and I'm getting better to where I can enjoy them and be patient and not be like "oooh MAN! NOW what???" Well, not EVERY time anyway...because that's how I was for a LOOONG time, just too tired to do anything. Changing a diaper was dreaded, cuz I just didn't feel like doing it, making a bottle, putting them to bed, even just getting a meal together...but I'm getting better, too, and I am enjoying and loving the mommy job once again! THANK GOODNESS!

I have a lot of regret that I wasn't "well" enough to enjoy so much Preston's first bit of life...of course I enjoyed him and loved him, but I wasn't as "there" as I was for Trenton...but he is a happy baby, and he knows his mommy loves him, so thank goodness he won't remember or know that I wasn't well off when he started out. And Trent just adapts to anything. He's been through so much his whole life, he is just like "eh, whatever...new place, here we go!" and goes with it. Amazing kids!
