congrats!

Congrats to my big little guy :-) He made the Spelling Bee again! 3 years in a row now he’s made it to the County Spelling Bee. And every year I ask him how to spell Indian, because that’s the word I went out on in the 2nd grade because I didn’t capitalize the I. It’ll haunt me forever! hehe He got 3rd place in the 1st grade, went out early in the 2nd grade and now will be back for another chance. It’s February 16th – please wish him luck fellow blogging buddies – thanks guys!

look! change!

Ah sweet change…. shocking from me…. I don’t know how to do change very well. But it just seemed right for today. I hope I haven’t lost all my friends on here. I’ve had a super hard time getting down to write. It’s all the same shit…. busy with kids, busy with life, yada flippin yada. I know…. I’m boring, trust me I’m boring to myself right now. The boys keep me on my toes though – thank goodness for them. I’m not even sure what to write about. I could tell you all about my daycare kids, but I’m not thinking that’s the most interesting thing to hear about. I could write about life, but that’d be a book so I won’t bore you with that. You all haven’t heard from me in forever and the one post I sneak to write is boring and depressing.

I’m in search of a convertible car seat – how did you all decide which to buy? When I bought my infant car seat Gramma had found the consumer report article and so I bought the best one and that was that. This time I don’t have that article so I’m searching myself and let me tell you – I’m stuck.

I guess I’m done…. I’m staring at the screen wondering what else I could write about and I’m completely blank so I’ll try to be back sooner :-) **HUGS TO ALL**

6 Month Update

One of two things needs to happen…. I need to get a laptop so I can have my computer upstairs or baby needs to take naps regularly so I can get down here to update. Not that I should sit around waiting for those to happen any time soon……. but it’d be nice :-)

Had our 6 Month Well Baby Check-Up yesterday. Little guy is doing great. He’s in the 38%tile for weight and the 95%tile for height. Tall and skinny I guess. Heads good. Hearts good. Ears good. Mouths good. Eyes good. Etc. I was a little shocked at this from the doctor….. he asked if we were doing breast or bottle and I said breast still. He asked how long I planned on doing that, I said maybe until 1 year, to which he said, you know he’s 6 months and will have all his shots you can stop anytime now. I was shocked the doctor said that, I thought for sure if I was willing, able and wanting to he’d love to hear I was continuing breastfeeding. Weird, but whatever, not changing my mind. I’ve got a booby baby and he doesn’t want a bottle so I’m perfectly fine with that. And I’m not ready to give it up yet – I treasure our time together and can’t imagine letting it go. It’s all going to end too soon.

It’s amazing what 6 months can do for a baby….. It seems like just yesterday he was just laying there sleeping away, not moving, just being a baby. Now he’s up sitting, standing, working really hard on crawling (got the legs figured out – working on the arms – rocks like crazy), babbling away, spitting, laughing, just plain carrying on most of the time. He loves his baby food and it seems like overnight he started eating way more. He eats and then wants to nurse afterwards – maybe just a good way to wash it all down. I’m bad this month and haven’t gotten his 6 Month pics done – darn it – too much sickness around here and craziness. The sickness is making it’s way around and so far has skipped baby, hope it stays that way, I can’t have that little guy sick.

I feel like I have lots more to update with, but baby is actually sleeping which is weird and nice and since I was sick I feel horribly behind in all that I need to do so I best get moving and will update SOON :-) HUGS TO ALL

I suppose it wouldn’t hurt to update with a couple pics……
