Weeks 4-5 Update

Well needless to say, life's been a bit busy at the Crist house. All is well and we are getting into the groove when it comes to raising two kids and balancing life. Now, I can't say all will run smoothly when I return to work in a few weeks, but for now we are doing great. 


Jack Ryan is getting to spend time with his Mimi this month. Mimi spent the summer with Aunt Amy and Zoe Marley and is now in Texas for a few weeks to help me. So far it has been fantastic. She is helping with all the house work and taking care of Ella. She and Jack are "roommates", which is great. He has been sleeping in his room and with any luck it will continue from here on out. I think he is finally over his fear of "monsters". Jack has been swimming or playing at the water park on a daily basis, which is a great way to burn some of the energy he has. Potty training is going okay. We started working with a potty chart and each time he goes in the potty he gets a sticker. After 10 stickers he gets a prize.  So far it's motivating him. 


Ella Grace is doing well. She is getting so strong and able to hold her head up for longer periods of time. She is sleeping a lot better. We have had several nights of her sleeping from midnight until 6 or 7. I am hoping to have a new family pictures taken later this month along with pictures of just her. I even ordered a tutu! I never thought I would be so girly!
