8 1/2 months






 


I can not even begin to describe how much I love this kid! He is getting so funny and so fun to play with! The past 2 months, life with him has changed dramatically. Here are his updates - 
  • He is sleeping through the night! This is such a huge one! We rarely hear him at night these days and when we do, he is able to put himself back to sleep quickly. Which means, for the first time in like a year, I've had a full nights sleep! PTL. 
  • He is eating "solid" food 3 times a day now - his favorite is anything with fruit!
  • He can roll around front to back over and over, and also scoot around in a circle on his belly. When sitting up, he leans over one leg pretty far to reach something. So far, no crawling, but I am not rushing that! He'll get it soon enough- and when he does - our whole life will change! 
  • He has 4 teeth, the two bottom and the two on either side of the front on top. I think those top will be making an appearance soon though!
  • He's gotten really into grabbing necklaces lately - and has even broken one! 
  • He talks all.the.time. 
  • He sleeps with his pacifier and his bear blanket, and sleeps best on his stomach. 
  • He is super social and will smile and laugh for just about anyone!
  • He is in daycare 3 days a week and is starting to really love it.
And just for my own records, this is what his daily schedule is like:

7:30 - wake up, bottle
8:30 - solids
9:30-10:30/11:00 - nap, bottle when he wakes up
12:00 - solids
1:00-2:30/3:00 - nap, bottle when he wakes up
6:00 - dinner
6:30 - bath
7:00 - bottle and down for bed

Looking forward to what months 9-12 will bring. Even more changes, I'm sure!

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 ...
