I had a pretty long night with Amelia. She was up three times for some reason, and the last time I just ended up keeping her in bed with me. As Christian was walking out of the door for work, both girls woke up, so yes, long day indeed. We all ate some breakfast and I just spent the rest of the day trying to get Olivia to leave Amelia alone. She went through phases all day long…for a while she’d actually play WITH Amelia; then for a while she’d spend all her energy taking everything away from Amelia, and bossing her around; then she’d just completely ignore her for a while. I don’t get it.
After a very long morning, I finally got them to take a nap, together, at the same time. I cuddled up in bed, with my shows and the laptop, and got in some quality computer time. Amelia woke up before Olivia, so we spent a little time together. I was just watching her explore and figure things out. Its funny watching her actually play with toys now, figuring things out. She’s getting to be a PRO at standing up (from sitting) unassisted…she’s up and down no problem now! She continues to attempt walking, but just can’t quite figure it out. It’s so hard to believe she’s doing these things…it seems like she should just be this helpless little person still, but she’s not. Her baby phase is disappearing so quickly. It’s a good thing in many ways, but it’s still sad nonetheless. She’s my little cuddle bug and it’s crazy to see her growing up so fast!
Of course, it’s Friday, which means Christian had to work some OT. After he finally arrived home, we took the girls for a ride to pick up some Chinese food. We stopped into the car wash, and that was a BIG mistake. The girls were NOT fans of the car wash…the both started freaking out as soon as it started up. Of course, I had to snap a couple pictures of them. And, snapped a picture of the sad sight that is the gas station sign…$3.95 a gallon, unbelievable.
It would cost Christian at least $90 to fill up his tank right now. Even mine would be about $55. It’s just ridiculous! Now they are talking about researching mileage based gas charges vs. per gallon. How is that fair though? If Christian drives his truck the same distance that I drive my car, he uses up more gas than me because I get much better gas mileage, yet if this went into effect, we’d be paying the same for that distance? That’s not right…so those of us that have more efficient vehicles end up paying the price for those who drive the gas guzzlers? What sense does that make?!?
Anyway, that’s my short rant for the day. Enjoy the crying pictures! Ha.
