I'm sorry it's taken so long for me to get around to posting! We've been quite busy, obviously, with getting settled here. Now, things are more orderly, the boys are mostly adjusted, and we've found most of our stuff. There's still some boxes way back in the laundry room I haven't gotten to.
The house the church provided for us is very nice. I'll admit, the bluff across the street and the woods in the back do make me a little nervous with a very fast toddler. But the yard is huge and so far Brendan's been very good about stopping when I tell him to. Brendan loves the four stairs up to the bedrooms. We didn't have any stairs in our last house so these are pretty exciting for him. He's also learning more and more words and signs every day it seems. He's just learned the sign for "I love you" and uses it every night when we sign it as we leave his bedroom after bedtime prayers.
Luke has learned to crawl! He started on Saturday. We're all in a state of surprise over that. He's only 5mo. & 1wk. today and he's been crawling for several days now! It's still rather clumsy, but he can get himself pretty much wherever he wants to be. He's also not too far from being able to sit up unassisted. Oh, and he speaks in full sentences, too. Ok, maybe not, but I'm not sure it would surprise me coming from him right now! He is working on cutting his first tooth, though. Which has made for a number of VERY long nights here.
Today I found a children's show that I'm alright with Brendan watching. So far, the only TV he's really seen is the evening news, some Baby Einstein DVDs, and an occasional episode of the Simpson's (good, quality entertainment :P). Anyway, I was trying to fold laundry this morning and he was unfolding as fast as could fold so, out of desperation, I turned on the TV and started flipping through the guide channel to find something to distract him. Well, I found The Backyardigans on Nickelodian. I love it! It entertained him, it wasn't about a bunch of kids being direspectful and disobedient, it was a group of animal children having imaginary adventures in their backyards! They were polite, smart, and cool! It reminded me alot of when I was a kid having backyard adventures with my brother and our friend Julie. Oh, and there was music and dancing. Brendan was dancing along with the animals and having an absolute blast! So cool!
Anyway, Brendan just woke up early from his nap. At least he took one today...
