6 months!



 Y'all. I seriously can not believe it has been 6 months. This kid is SO big. Just in the last 2 weeks have we really seen some big changes. I'm just going to list them out:
  • he has two bottom teeth! they have cut through the gums, but they aren't all the way up yet
  • he is rolling over back to tummy, tummy to back constantly!
  • he is sleeping unswaddled
  • he, most nights, goes without a bottle!
  • he just started, as in did it twice yesterday, lifting his hands when he wants to be picked up
  • he leans into me to give me hugs, reaches for me and buries his head in my neck/shoulder. it is a dream!
  • he eats solid foods in the morning and evening now
  • he rolled over onto his tummy last night and woke himself up and he was not happy about it
  • he puts himself to sleep really well...after a book I just lay him in his crib and he falls asleep
  • he has started playing in his crib, with his feet, with his pacifier, just looking out, it is so cute!
He is so great. These are a lot of changes for me to handle though! I keep thinking "where has my baby gone!?" Yesterday I subbed in a 2 1/2 year-old class and when I got home (after a birthday dinner with my co-workers) Canon was already asleep. I went in, picked him up and rocked with him because I was feeling so sad that in no time he is going to be one of those 2 year olds! I am clearly really emotional about this!

We are still working on sitting up, but it is getting better each day. Funny story, when we were at his 6-month check-up I was telling our doctor I was slightly concerned that he wasn't even balancing himself or doing a "tripod" sit. She wanted to see what he could do and he seriously did the best tripod sitting I've ever seen him do, ha! His stats at his appointment were still in the 8th percentile for weight, at 14.95lbs and 50th for length at 26 inches. He is following the curve for the 8th percentile, so that is good.

I've gotten out a few of his 9-month clothes, mainly some onesies and pajamas. His cloth diapers really help keep him in those bigger clothes! Overall, he continues to be a very happy baby and I really am so lucky he is ours!

Oh, and I have to add these photos from this morning...it is just going to get harder to these weekly monthly (let's just be honest about it) photos!

going public

Well...there is not really any other way to say this but... Aaron and I are having a BABY! Yep, Baby Schultz should be arriving this Labor Day. We could not be more thrilled about the news! Once we got through the 12-week ultrasound, which is what this picture is from, we were ready to spread the news! I know there are still lots of people who should have gotten phone calls, and for that I apologize that you are finding out now, but I was just ready to get it out there! And now I will answer the questions that typically follow up this kind of announcement. 1. Were you trying? Well....not exactly. From the beginning I have felt pretty strongly that we were not in control of this whole baby-making situation. I have known many women who got pregnant on birth control, or when they didn't even know they could, and those who "planned" it and then it has taken longer than hoped. I've just always been pretty sure that when the Lord determined we were ready, He'd ...

Arise Campus Ministry 9.23.14

Over the past few years, I've had the opportunity to be part of some awesome ministries. From time to time, I've been given the chance to speak and I wanted a place to keep those files. Here is where I'll post my talks, Bible Studies, etc that I'm either doing or creating.  Arise Campus Ministry at George Mason University 9.23.2014 This week I want to tell y’all a little about my story, because the word “belonging” is extremely significant in it. I came to Christ at the end of middle school – which for me were terrible years. Think about all the stereotypes of mean girls and being made fun of and left out, and that is my story. It all really fell apart for me at the beginning of my 9 th  grade year when every girl I had left middle school fighting to maintain a friendship with completely ignored me. I had a peripheral friendship with a girl who was a church goer and accepted her invitation to become part of their youth group. I had been on and off, but nev...

February Goals

Happy February! I'm joining Elizabeth and Sarah to talk about B+ Goals for the month! I am loving the idea of setting up some attainable goals for each month, but also giving myself grace for meeting or not meeting them. This year I am focusing on my Physical and Spiritual Health. First, a quick review of January's Goals. January Physical Health Goals : * hit my 10,000 steps 4 days of the week (I work a desk job, so this means I'll have to do some extra walking either before or after work) * track my food  January Spiritual Health Goals :  * read Simply Tuesday by Emily P Freeman * start my day with Jesus Calling and First 5 App   As my husband would say, I won more days than I lost in January! My fitbit broke 3 weeks into January, so the last week and some I wasn't able to track, but I did get to the gym to run a few times without it. I also tracked more food than I didn't and the days we were at work I did really well staying w...
