Ok, so I haven't really been keeping up with this, but anyhow... Haleigh has gone from rolling all over, to pulling herself with her arm, but only if she REALLY wants something. She is getting so big! Jared is getting deployed soon, and this will be our first one. He is going to miss all of Haleigh's firsts.....teeth, steps, words, birthday, Christmas, etc.....I feel so bad. I have been babysitting for a little extra money, and now I am not so sure if I want to continue. I love kids and all, but right now it is a little overwhelming. Not to mention, with Jared not being here, I am going to want to go home whenever I feel like it. Right now, I have an about to be 1yr old who is really a monster, a 2 month old who still just eats and sleeps all day, and my own who is almost 6 months. They ALL have runny noses right now, and hate for their faces to be wiped! Great fun. Now, I know all kids develop differently, but aren't 1yr old's suppose to know some words? All this one does is scream. She screams and cries when she wants something, when she doesn't want anything, when you won't let her have something, when she is hungry, when she is tired, when she wakes up, etc. The other thing that bothers me is that the one year old I babysit is suppose to take a nap form 11am until 2:30pm; Crazy I think, but if she doesn't get it, she is even worse! She cries herself to sleep, then she cries when she wakes up. It is super frustrating because no matter what I do or say she won't stop! Not to mention, we can't do anything, because that takes up most of the day! I would like to go for a walk and maybe let them play at the park once in awhile. I use to have a ton a patience with kids, but for some reason, now I have trouble with the screamers. Especially when they are screaming for no reason. Haleigh is such a good baby, maybe I just got spoiled. I think I have decided, I am done babysitting full time. I think I will be done babysitting full time. I will strictly do it for small jobs, like if someone needs to run errands or something. I have enough to do with my dog, and my daughter, and cleaning our house, etc. I guess I am done raving about that for today. So the weather is starting to get cool, and I found out that we have no winter clothes for the baby. I have one sweat suit, a couple of long sleeve onsies and two thin pair of pants that we just bought. So we searched everywhere for a pair of jeans for a 6-9month old. Finally I found some at JCPenny, and they were on sale! My favorite kind! And they look so adorable on her, even though they are a little big. Alright, well, Haleigh is up now, and Maddy is screaming again, so I am done for today.
