ketchup

Clara tells me on a regular basis that I have ketchup in my eyes. They're so bloodshot, almost at all times. I'm getting more sleep than other times in my life for sure, I don't get it. It's just a permanent problem I have for what seems like forever. I use drops daily. I wish I could feel/look like a normal human being again. I think I average 5-6 hours a night which is much more than other phases in the last year of my life.

Everett has been getting up at around 1-2am, it's easier to feed him right now. He's constipated and starting to teeth again so I cannot let him cry. It's about a 20 minute process to feed him and get all back to sleep. He'll cry for 45-an hour and it breaks my heart. I don't even remember feeding him sometimes when I wake up in the morning.

Life has been busy, as always. OT hasn't started yet. Andre is taking Everett to a speech consult tomorrow so I'm pretty sure at some point next month we'll be going to PT, OT and speech weekly. State testing is this week and next. Everett's first birthday is coming. We're still getting settled and unpacking boxes as Andre puts up cupboards/cabinets.

We hired a new babysitter, she starts next week. Life is going well, I was just sick over last weekend, as long as no one else gets it and I don't get the other nasty bugs going around the school, we're set. Life is great, fingers crossed.

First weekend in our new home + Anthony's bday 2yrs

I don't know why I don't do this more often, bathing in a sink is SO much easier. I pulled something in my neck so I put the bubs in the sink instead of his tub where I'm all hunched over. It was great. 


First visitors that aren't peeps helping us move. This is Mary, Merrissa's mom, the sweetest. I was so happy to see them! 






AJae started playing soccer. I really wanted to get Clara in it, still do. Too much going on right now, soon my love.


Selene and Anthony came to visit since they recently moved to Chicago. All the cousins plus a few extra. 




The cutest little birthday boy.


The Feger Crew














Because of the move we've seen Gabrielle and Juliane more as they've come over to help, it's been so nice!!









Happy Easter 2016 + 9 months + pack a uhaul

All clean for Easter weekend. I put Everett on the floor after his bath with this DVD player. I spin it around the room so he has to pivot, he is getting VERY fast. Crawling is the next step in the progression. Sissy likes to watch your sign language and baby Einstein videos and you like when she is near you!!! 


Our last Easter Egg Hunt at the Country Club. :( I think we'll crash it since aunt Krissim lives there! We'll miss all the neighbs. 






I love you pretty girl. These things are so exciting now that you're understanding it all. Dada told you how to hunt, look at your treasures after you're done and pick up as many as you can! You listened well! You did a great job. 


















You wanted to meet him so bad, but when you got close you just couldn't do it. You were so close! 





You look like your Feger cousins here. 








You're so excited about your bubbles! 

















Easter morning. 



















I took you both to the park, bad idea, too much pollen! 












By 12 it was time to pack the truck. Happy Easter. ;/









Thank you Nancy for the cute bib. I envisioned doing Everett's 9 month pics so nice in the back yard, the last time I can walk out my door to paradise for a "photo shoot" and I ran out of time. Packing a house to move with two babies SUCKS! So this is a rushed event. Nothing turned out as I envisioned, job, done. ?! Lame.



I love this pic, you're so cute Everett! 








Your favorite position, superman! 





Awe, look at that pretty Easter dress, NOT. You had about 4 to wear. I wanted to even do wardrobe changes but you stayed in your PJ's from nap time instead. That's the kind of week/month/year we've had. 





the drool












Mmmm, dive in chocolate bunny. 



You ate lots of broccoli first, you never eat much sweets when offered, but you liked this! 


Dada packed this truck like a champ. It took him forever, I just kept bringing the boxes, they never ended. Thanks for your hard work my love, we make a great team! 


And then there's this. Sweet Elsarooski! OMG, the cuteness. I love her dress, the flowers, and the next pic SO much. I need more pictures on a regular Brandace!!!!!!!!! That's an order.
