sleep would be nice....

As I write this, I have to admit I am a little sleep deprived. Austin is either teething, but not actually cutting any teeth or he has just plain decided that sleeping all night long is ridiclious and he wants nothing to do with it!! I put him to bed around 8:00pm and he sleeps till 11:00pm, wakes up and fusses for a while, goes back to sleep, wakes up at 2:00am and every 30 mins there after until about 3:30am when he sleeps till about 5:00 and wakes up again. It is really cool, let me tell you. Lanna gets up 2-3 times a night for the most part. Needless to say, I am not getting a whole lot of sleep, this too shall pass....right?!? Someone tell me it's gonna pass! ;)

Speaking of not sleeping....Jonathan is not exactly sleeping either. He finally made it to FOB Echo and is working from 6:00 in the morning till about 12:00 at night. To bad the Army does not pay the whole time and a half for overtime.....we would be making bank right now! Anyhow, he works 18 hours and then has 6 hours to do everything else....like sleep! Sad to say it, but I might actually be making out better in the sleep catagory, which quite frankly is just sad! Hopefully his days will get cut back to 12 hours soon (though at 12 hours we would still be raking it in if he got overtime). Then he can do things like....sleep! ;)

The twins are doing pretty well, they are now eating one meal of solid foods a day, so far we have tried rice cereal, green beans and carrots. I am going to go for squash or sweet potatoes next. Carrots stain everything, and I am afraid that sweet potatoes will be the same! Oh well, what can you do?! Austin is rolling over both directions these days, he still hates being on his tummy though, Lanna on the other hand has no desire to roll over. She occasionally flips from her tummy to her back but has not gone the other direction. We are working on sitting up, but I think we have a ways to go before they are sitting independently. We will get there some day!
