Life in the Reilly home

I haven't written in awhile about our life so I figured I'd give an update. I'll go by each person. :)

First, I'll write about Malachi. Two days ago he turned 20 months old! I can't believe he will be two in October. It blows me away to think about him turning two. We are already starting to plan his 2nd birthday party! His favorite show is The Wiggles. He's finally consistent in sleeping through the night as long as he gets a snack before he goes to sleep. He really loves food and most anything we give him which is a huge blessing! I'm so happy that he isn't a picky eater! And he loves healthy food. He's saying a lot of words and small phrases such as "help please".  He is such a SWEET boy. He's so loving and so cute. And sometimes it's so hard when I have to punish him and he sticks that little lip out and has tears coming down his face! Talk about pitiful, lol. Thankfully he listens pretty well so there isn't too much punishing going on. He's also become very attached to Matthew. Everything is "daddy". When he wakes up he says daddy. When he's eating he says daddy. When he's playing he will come to me and say daddy. He really loves his daddy and when daddy comes home he just wants to play with daddy. I'd say Matthew has become his favorite person!! He's not been teething lately which is a nice break since it seemed like he teethed for the last six months non stop. And lastly, he's healthy. Praise God for that! He's only been sick  twice since he's been born. And I'm so happy for that! Here's a recent picture of Malachi. 

It's so hard to get one of him sitting still! But here he's playing with his car. 

Now about Elianna! She's doing wonderfully! She will be four months old next week! I really can't believe she will be 4 months old. It's gone so fast! She's sleeping between 4 & 5 hours at a time at night which is awesome! I have been getting more sleep which is nice and Matthew helps by bringing Elianna to me to nurse her and on the weekends he will take her in the morning & let me sleep! She just started rolling from her belly to her back! She loves to watch tv and she loves music. She loves her swing and I'm so thankful we have one since she gets fussy. She cries a lot more than Malachi ever did. So that's tough sometimes. But other than that she's good! And she's an excellent nurser which I am SOOO happy about since breastfeeding only lasted a week with Malachi. 

Here's a recent picture of her doing tummy time! 

Me and Matthew are doing good. He really loves his new job! He loves to be outside and breathe in the fresh air. He has been doing his ministry and they're planning a camping trip. Matthew and I have been dealing with some things in our marriage so we are working on that. Just please keep us in your prayers. Although Matthew loves his new job we both just feel like we should be in full time ministry. But we are waiting for God's timing. It's tough sometimes to wait on him. We love our life and we wouldn't want to change it, though. To be honest, we are very satisfied because as long as we are running after Christ we are content no matter where He takes us. Matthew and I have adjusted to having two children and we love it! I honestly wish we could have more right away! I love babies and I love raising them & watching them grow & change. We really hope to buy a house someday sooner then later! 

That's about it in the Reilly family! Hope you enjoyed the update.
