We survived our visitors!

The past two weeks have been a flurry of activity as we have had three different sets of visitors descend on us from the North, plus the everyday stuff we normally have to do!

James's parents came first, and then two days later James's friend Steve came down to hang out with James for the day, and then two days after that his sister Missy and her family came down for five days, and the last day they were here my mom and Katrina came and stayed for two days.  Luckily after James's parents' visit we were able to keep a pretty normal routine for Cadence so that she was still able to nap and go to bed at her usual times, so I think that definitely helped her sleep better.  While my mom and Katrina were here she had another bout of constipation issues which lasted two days and was no fun for anyone.

Last Thursday Cadence tried out the gymnastics place in Murfreesboro with a free trial class, and although I will admit that she was not the best one there, she definitely tried to follow directions and enjoyed herself even if she was a little tentative to begin with.  We were unsure if we were going to pay for her to continue classes, but we decided it's probably good for her because with us as her parents flexibility is going to be a major challenge, so we might as well try to get her to be limber early on!  I'm glad we did go ahead and sign her up, because all this week she keeps saying "Nastics fun!", jumping, and doing other little moves that they asked her to do last week.  She's definitely super cute to watch as she tries out new things and learns to take risks. 

We've also been to two Webb library storytimes, which Cadence mostly enjoys because she gets to see her little buddies.

Asher has tagged along to all these activities and been so great.  His schedule has only shifted slightly, with him usually staying awake until 9:30, waking up around 4:30, and then again around 6:30.  He usually has a good two hours of wake time in the morning, again in the afternoon around 4 or 5, and then finally right before he goes to bed for the night.  He's down to pooping only once a day usually now, which makes going out less stressful!  He started taking a pacifier at the end of last week, and this week I plan to introduce a bottle and see how he does with that.  I can't believe he will be one month old on Friday!  So crazy!
