And ......GO!

So seriously the last time I updated this was in August???!?!?!? And here George is almost 5 months old! That is crazy and I sincerely apologize. My computer is so slow that it takes forever to get to where I even need to get to blog. Tonight I am at my mom's house sitting and George for the moment is content on the floor so I will type as much as I can before he is in need of me.
As I said he will be 5 months old next week. The week before he turned for months he started rolling over and since then he rolls to get to where he wants to go. It is so much fun to set him down turn around and then find he is somewhere else. Thank goodness we have a small living room so he's pretty easy to find. He is big on getting on his knees and his toes, but hasn't quite gotten hang of using those arms. He seems content to just push his face in the floor for now. The girls are so good with him and are a HUGE help. Esepcially Mayme. She will pick him up and hold him if he's getting fussy if I'm not able to. He is a sweet little boy. I can't believe how much he is growing and how fast. We have tried some cereal and juice, but he didn't seem to excited about it so this next month we shall try again. This afternoon I laid down with him and I woke up to him hitting me in the face. He loves to grab my glasses and hair. He now sleeps in the crib for most of the night. He will sleep about 7 to 8 hours in there and then I bring him in bed with me. Some mornings he wakse up when I do, which can be hard when Paul is still at work, but we make it work. I try to pump in the morning before I leave for work, pump twice at work, and pump at night. So far I am able to keep up. Another reason that will be nice when he starts eating food...I won't be so worried that we might run out of milk.
Lydia is doing well with us being back at work and school. Enjoys her time with Grandma and George. I hear she is a big help. I know it was hard for the first couple of weeks for her to get used to not having Grandma one on one, but they still are finding time to share. George loves the outdoors and being in his stroller and tries to sit up as straight as he can. He loves to watch Lydia swing.
Mayme is enjoying 3rd grade. The firs week of school we spent one night doing 40 minutes of homework....I think it was getting into the swing of things. Things are going much more smoothly. She says that Science is here favorite subject besides (lunch, recess, and free time). I got to go on a field trip with her and the kids in here class are awesome and lots of fun. They would tell me how much they liked Mayme, or how nice she was and even that she and I look a like. She rides the bus home most days, but I try to pick her up once a week just for old times sake.
As for me. Work is going well. Very busy, but I think we are finally getting over the very busy part of it all. There is always something to do which makes the days go by fast. It's hard to believe that October is here. We have our Halloween costumes ready to go and have out the candy corn. Thoughts of Christmas are floating in and out of our minds. I have a feeling the rest of the year is going to fly by.
George is now calling for me so I will end here. Hope to write more soon.
