This too shall pass...right?

I'm so tired of spit up. When does it end? For the life of me, I can't remember when Donovan stopped, and I'm pretty sure he was never as bad as Chamae. She spits up every time she eats. Sometimes I wonder how she's still growing so well, it seems like she spits everything up! On a more positive note, we are well on our way to better sleeping habits and hopefully Chamae sleeping through the night (crossing my fingers, knocking on wood). Thanks to the Baby Whisperer (and Heidi for suggesting it), we're getting into a better routine and Chamae is getting better at going to sleep on her own without our help. It's a lot of work, but I know it'll be worth it! I have already seen a difference in just 2 days. Things that worked for Donovan, just don't work for Chamae! She isn't her brother, that's for sure! It was much easier to get him to nap and sleep through the night...or maybe I was just more patient! Either way, we're getting through it! I am pretty anxious for Brad to get home though, I need some support! It's hard doing bedtime and waking up to calm Chamae down every night by myself. I had a better attitude going into his trip this time. I knew what I was in for, so I've been positive and now I see the light at the end of the tunnel! Over a week on my own is a little much though, especially when Chamae still doesn't sleep well! Anyway, enough of my whining, here are some pictures from our week without Brad:

Donovan was playing with PlayDoh and told me he was making decorations for Addi's birthday party. Then he would put them on the wall and tell me he was decorating for the party. I still have PlayDoh to wipe off the walls, but he had fun and was being creative.
"Take a picture of it mom."

"I want her to lay by me." He loves when he gets to "hold" his sister. When I ask him to keep her happy while I do the dishes or another task, he'll say, "I'll hold her, you can leave her." I wish I could leave the room while he's holding her! I don't quite trust those little hands yet, but he's very sweet to offer.

Apparently she didn't feel like being cute, or having her picture taken. I love putting her in skirts. And this is proof to the people that think she's the sweetest little baby ever. She does cry...a lot, but she's pretty easygoing in public...probably because she's being held. Spoiled baby! Adorable, but spoiled.

I should probably start cleaning now since Brad will be home this evening and I dont know when Chamae will wake up from her nap.
