Canon - 3 Things


Canon Andrew... 3 1/2 years old today. Here are 3 things about you at this age. (And pictures, that don't necessarily have to do with the things) 

 

1. As of this week, I am 85% sure you have dropped your nap and your pull-up at night. You stopped napping at school last week, and though it has made for a rough transition after school and early morning wake ups, I'm okay with it. You still napped for us last weekend and we will certainly try for the naps at home until you give us a fight, but I won't expect you to sleep at school anymore. Along with that, you've been waking up early to go potty, so we're ditching the pull-ups. These two things feel very big in terms of you completely growing out of the toddler stage! 

  


2. You talk...nonstop. Mostly, I love it. But sometimes when you are asking questions I don't know the answer to, or talking just so you won't fall asleep in the car, I have to ask you to wait. I want you to enjoy talking to me well past this age, but for now, we'll work on waiting and holding your thoughts! 

 

3. You are so physical. Every night when we get home you want daddy to wrestle you. This is just the way you play. And you've even starting bringing Ben into the playtime. Watching the 3 of you wrestling on the floor makes my heart so happy - and so glad you have a great daddy who will play that game with you! 

  

You are the best. I say this every year, but the way you have grown up so much already this year is fascinating. You are can articulate what you want and need, you make up amazing games with your friends and can even write your name! You are beginning to have preferences when it comes to playmates, but you are an all around sweet kid. I simultaneously can't wait to see what the second half of this year brings while also willing time to slow down so I can soak it all in! Love you, bug! 


P.S. - thanks to #timehop, I was reminded that I did a full review of Canon this time last year - you can find that here! So fun to reminisce, and see the things that have stayed the same.

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 ...

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...

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.  ...
