what's going on


We're starting to try some rice cereal. I've been pretty sporadic about it, but after his 6 month appointment (which is NEXT WEEK!) I'll start putting "solids" into our every day routine. 


 
 

Canon has found his feet! Now every diaper change is just the most fun, trying to get those toes into his mouth!

 

Canon is officially rolling over, both sides! This particular picture happened when I had gone into my bedroom for a hot second and came out to find him on his tummy! He can do it regularly now, though he doesn't love being on his tummy and rolls back over quickly. 

Other things going on:
Canon is officially sleeping unswaddled!! I guess around 2 weeks ago, we started again with the one arm out and went from there. He now sleeps in a fleece sleep sack with arms. I'm not going to lie, the process wasn't quite as daunting as I had originally thought, but I think that is because we waited until he was really ready. 

I am now subbing at an Early Learning Center at a local Lutheran Church/School. I had my first day yesterday, in one of the 4 year old classrooms. And yes, that meant that Canon went to day care. I found an affordable, quality place that is about a mile and a half from our house. He seemed to have a great time, they said that he was very happy and they were impressed by how able he was to put himself to sleep! Way to go!! So far he'll just be there Wednesdays for the next few weeks. 
I enjoyed my time subbing as well. 4 year olds are so funny! The Center is 18 months up to 4 yr old Pre-School, so hopefully I'll get to make my rounds. 

I'm a week into the 45 day Fit Challenge. The working out is going really well! I've been consistently doing either Jillian Micheal's 30 Day Shred DVD or going to the gym and running from the C25k program.  This past Saturday I felt so good that I did two days of the program in one workout! The eating Paleo/more nutritiously is going...okay. It really all depends on what we have in the house, and sometimes that is not much, ha! I think I've lost about 2 lbs and I even went to Micheals and bought one of those sewing measuring tapes so I could take my own. I'm hoping I'll be able to report some inches lost as well! 

So, that is about all that is going on here. We go in for Canon's 6 months appointment next week, which I can hardly believe. And Happy 2nd Birthday to my nephew Cole this Sunday!! Goodness gracious, where is the time going??

Baby Boy #3!

We are expecting baby boy #3 and since I documented a good amount of my pregnancies with the older two, I want to at least start off giving this one the same treatment! I am due May 25th, though he'll probably come around the 18th by c-section. We found out in my 18 week appointment that we were having a boy and I can honestly say I've been super excited since. With two older brothers already ruining, I mean running, the house, I'm happy to bring another boy into our crazy. This pregnancy will always be remembered by having to have my gall bladder removed at week 11. As soon as I hit 6 weeks I started having intense gall bladder pain. I've dealt with gall stones since Canon was born, but they were always singular events that would pass in about 4 hours, and this pain was consistent and all day/night long. The doctors I saw encouraged me to manage it with diet and hope to get to 16 weeks before discussing surgery. I tried everything, which pretty much meant eating noth...

22 weeks (5 months)

this kid cracks me up Just like every mom, I say this every month, but I can't believe he is already 5 months! I'm not going to lie, this event has really caused me to kick my mommy-ness into gear. It is time to get this kid together, ha! So this week I have been really intentional about making sure we get lots of tummy time in, practicing rolling over, lots of time in the bumbo chair and on the couch sitting up and being super silly to pull out those giggles! And honestly, we're having the best time! Not that I wasn't doing these things before, but I had a bit more laid back approach assuming that he'll just learn things on his own. And he will, but now I'm just more up in his face pushing him along! We got over being sick, for the most part, at the end of last week. Since he had been sick, I'd been rocking him a lot more, going into his room during naps/nighttime almost every time he cried, putting the pacifier back in his mouth, etc. Well, let me t...

His and Hers

Aaron has officially started his second year of seminary! To commemorate, I thought I'd paste the answers to some questions we were both recently asked. A way to get an idea of both sides of our life right now. My answers: How did you spend your summer?  We had the best summer! Aaron took Hebrew in June and July, and I had my first summer as a stay at home mom. We went to the beach, pool, the library, visited Chicago and came to Alexandria twice!!  What are you most looking forward to (in your 2nd year at Seminary)?  The “cloud” over the 2nd year is getting ready for our vicarage. We’ll meet with the placement director in October and will find out the location in April! So there will be lots of hypothetical conversations, wishlists and prayers leading up to that!  Otherwise, I’m excited that we’ll be just minutes away from our church and school. I hope to get our whole family to matins more weekdays than not and Canon will begin a first communion class this ...
