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!

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...
