How do I spell relief?? S-L-E-E-P!!

Seriously...something is wrong with this blogsite...i cannot get the pictures to move and its a guessing game where they are going to come in....makes the pictures not even match the writing. I give up, 10 minutes trying to move this stuff around...i have better things to do...anyway, the pictures are sort of out of order and out of location...i suppose you can enjoy the pictures and then scroll to the text below, or if your not interested in the text, then good for you, you can look at the pictures and be on your merry way! i aim to please.

Well, we are almost at three months for little max...and he has finally started to sleep more...AND he is sleeping on his own without us having to carry him...its the first time in a long time that julie can sleep in a horizontal position...its so nice. The past couple of nights he has slept about 6-7 hours in a row in his own room...he is getting better. Julie let him cry it out and i almost had to leave the house so that i wouldnt hear his cries...but after 45 minutes, he finally zonked out...dont tell our doctor, she recommended waiting till 4 months...but julie couldnt take it anymore...and because i care about her sanity, i reluctantly went along.

Miya and I just got over a really bad illness, it was the first time that i have missed work for consecutive days in forever...and miya was on meds and a breathalyzer for over a week...but we are both better and more importantly max and julie didnt get sick...it would have been a disaster if julie got sick...after all who would take care of all of us...although to be honest...i had to take care of myself and miya....some of the most brutal days that i can remember. Max and julie shared a room and miya and I shared another.

Max is almost 3 months and to be honest..time has not flown by at all..in fact it feels like he has been with us for over 6 months...maybe now that he is sleeping better it will pass by. Max has a bad case of eczema i might have mentioned that before...but it got really bad and it was discharging a yellow substance from one of his cheeks. It must be a julie heriditary trait as her sisters son, her cousins son...all had it...way to go Julie!, cant blame that one on me. but he recently got a more powerful medicine and it looks like its helping.

Miya is talking better and asking more questions..she is in her "why?" stages...drives me nuts sometimes...but i noticed when i finally say "because daddy said so" she is ok with it..what a good girl!! Miya is also learning to write her name....she makes mountains for M, a line with a dot on top for an I, a sidewards T or cross for Y, and a circle with a line on the side for A...sort of looks like her name...but she has a ways to go. She also starting to get nightmares...or something...she sometimes wakes in the middle of night crying...and it cant be for any other reason...she also does not like the shadows that the nightlight throws...but she wants her nightlight, so not much i can do about that. She really likes jigsaw puzzles...she loves to do them and do them by herself, she is getting pretty good that she can do a 48 piece puzzle by herself...sometimes pretty fast, hopefully that means something good that she is learning.

Miya really likes water..so long as its not on her face...she loves to help me wash the car as she gets to play with water and with the bubbles from the car wash. She has so much fun that she doesnt wash the car anymore, instead she is off to the side with the sponge and bubbles and water..dont know how she can keep herself amused for that long..but she does. She also likes to pour water from containers to other containers...it can get messy at times...and she likes to play with the bubbles in the bathtub...but i guess most kiddies like that. I think that she is going to get swim lessons this summer....guess we will see if she REALLY likes water.

Thats all for now, i need to enjoy the quiet and the fact that Max is not on my lap trying to sleep.
