On the market.

It's official.  Our house is on the market.  We have a big fat sign out in the front yard.  We're listed on multiple sites.  And we have our first open home in just a few days.  We have "officially" been on the market for about 5 days now, and we've had 5 prospective buyers through already.  We have no idea what to expect- is our price fair, will we sell quickly, will we get ANY offers, etc...  but we will see!  One thing I do know... having your house on the market means it basically needs to be ready to be seen at any time (or with 24 hours notice, per my request), which means there is a LOT of constant tidying going on.  Our house has never been so clean and organized!  In fact, we had someone through today, and I had just cleaned the lounge and kitchen, so I confined the babies to our bedroom for a little bit.  Riley didn't mind one bit.

Jumping on the bed is probably one of her fave activities.  She could jump on the bed all day long... She loves to jump and then slam her butt onto the bed (see above).  She makes sure to tell me she will only jump in the middle so she doesn't fall off and get a big owie (may have said that to her just a few times before). And she has yet to fall off the bed or get any sort of injury jumping on the bed, so let's keep our fingers crossed that it stays that way.  The same cannot be said for her antics with the beach ball...

Seriously this girl cracks me up.  I won't share too many of her latest antics, as they are going to all be put into a big TWO YEAR post, but I love love love her to pieces.  I'm surprised she's smiling in these photos below, she was saying "no mama, don't do that, no can take a picture." 

And the little dude?  He's still pretty much the happiest, most chilled out baby during the day, and the worst sleeper ever during the night.  Okay, not worst sleeper ever, but pretty darn close.  Like, waking up more times than I can even count, every single night, kind of bad sleeper.

The thing is, for the most part, he's just a happy little guy during the day, you'd never know he doesn't get a good night's sleep.  And he goes down for most of his naps in his crib, all by himself, so it's not that he can't put himself to sleep.  I'm convinced it's directly related to his eczema, but we can't seem to fix it.  Oh well, eventually we'll figure it all out.  It could definitely be much worse!  I'm sort of wishing he would ditch his paci and and learn to suck on his fingers or something, but we still swaddle him otherwise he scratches his whole face and head.

On another note- currently his favorite thing to hold on to or play with are little blankets.  He loves this blue blankie, and there was a massive meltdown (by Riley) today when I wouldn't let her take the "blue gray gray" away from Jack Jack.  It's the same as her pink one, only... it's blue.

He's also getting closer to rolling over.  He'll roll to the side, and with a tiny bit of help he'll roll all the way over, but he's just so happy to lay there and take it all in, or to watch what Riley's doing, that he just hangs out on his back a lot.  And I'm pretty sure he's got a flat head as a result of all the time he spends on his back.  Dangit.  He also always has his two little feetsies glued together.  Only a matter of time before he gets those toesies in his mouth!

Anyway... so, first open home this Sunday, which also happens to be Mark's birthday!  Then Riley turns TWO on Tuesday, and MY MOM GETS HERE ON THURSDAY.  To say I'm excited would be an understatement. Riley's super excited too, and Jackson, well, he's just chillin'...
