February Update
I have been such a slacker I know when it comes to updating lately but I have a very good excuse – I’ve been working 40 hours a week plus balancing Brennan’s schedule and family visiting, etc. So this will be my first update on all of us since November…and my how things have changed!! We’re only about 3 months away from packing everything up and moving to Virginia…It’s gonna be pretty hard to say good-bye. Anyway, here goes my update…hope you like it!
Me, Myself & I
Me, Myself & I
Emotionally: GREAT! I had a blast working and am still subbing some at the preschool. Brennan and I celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary last month and I am more in-love with him today than when I married him!!
Physically: Having joint pain…weird right?! Went to see a rheumatologist – awaiting results…will keep you posted!
Weight loss: Down to my pre-Logan weight!! So excited!! All but 2 of my jeans fit, but those jeans are from college, so I’m not upset at all!! Hopefully I can keep it off!
Employment: Workin’ was super fun! Don’t get me wrong, working 40 hours a week and Brennan being gone was definitely a lot, but I enjoyed being busy and the kids really liked being at school! I’m now down to working only as a sub, but that keeps me pretty busy too.
Things I am Thankful for: My beautiful children and their tolerance for me having been so busy lately and my husband for putting up with me working. My family for supporting me and coming to visit to help us celebrate some awesome events!! New friends here in Greenville and us moving in June! Mambargains.com for all their awesome deals on kids stuff and TOMS, my new favorite shoe – they have a million designs and are super comfortable…I’ve been searching for a shoe like this and I’m so glad I finally tried them!
Logan - 3 Years Old, Week 4
Growin’ like a weed:
Size: Height: 40” Weight: About 39 lbs...Percentile: 95th…What this means: We’re still in 4T/5T clothes and I think he’s moving up a shoe size.
Sleep: Sleeping mostly in his bed…since we removed the gate he still wanders into our room early in the morning. I think this bothers Brennan more than me, but when Brennan’s gone he mostly sleeps in my room anyway – no judgment please, it works for our family right now and whatever sleep I can get I’ll take!
New Skills:
Tried Something New: Logan had his first real birthday party with friends from his class! He was wonderful and 10 of his friends came!! We are so proud of the little boy he has become! He also made all new friends in his new preschool class!! I’m so proud how well he did transitioning!
Potty Training: Officially trained! He still wears goodnights to bed, but most of the time he wakes up dry!! I cannot believe he was trained in 6 months and we’re so proud of him!
Likes: Playing with his friends, singing and dancing, reading books and learning about new things, still loves anything “Cars” related, likes playing in his room, still loves playing with play-doh, jumping and running, chocolate candy, making his little brother laugh and taking pictures with his new camera (thanks Safta!). Logan also loves watching Emmett learn new things and is super supportive of him! TV Show(s): “Octonauts” on the Disney Channel. Movie(s): The Lion King and Lady and the Tramp!
Dislikes: Being told no, having potty accidents and vegetables.
Saying(s) of the month:
Saying(s) of the month:
“Cut it out Mommy”
“Is that a deal?!”
“I’m gonna get something cool outta the fridge”
Emmett – 9 months, week 2
Growin’ like a weed, too:
Size – Height: 30” Weight: 25lbs Percentile: 95th…What this means: We’re wearing 12-18 month clothes and have officially started wearing shoes!! He wears a size 4!
Teething: Emmett has his two bottom teeth and is definitely working on more…I think he’s gonna have 4 bottom teeth before any top ones come out, but it’s just a hunch.
Sleep: Still goes between sleeping through the night and waking up for a bottle. Since he goes down at about 7:30pm, he usually wakes for the bottle at around 3:30-4am…so not too bad. Still working on sleeping in the crib…
New Skills/”Firsts”: Trying to walk! Emmett took 2 steps this weekend and loves holding onto furniture to move around the room! He’s also quite the climber and loves climbing on toys.
Food: Working on self-feeding! Emmett loves Gerber Puffs in all flavors!! We’ve also tried sweet potato and the Gerber crunchies, both of which he liked but didn’t really love. We will continue trying “people food” and hope to have him eating more of that by his 1st birthday. Also still trying the sippy cup. He still loves chewing on it more than drinking out of it!
Likes: Gerber puffs, spitting in order to get attention, making noises and faces to get attention, climbing on furniture, playing on his Leap Frog Drum and banging on toilet seats, pulling all the toilet paper off the role, his friends and teachers at school!
Here are some pics from Valentines Day - yes Emmett wore his tux!
Well I think that's it for now...We're preparing for Brennan to leave on a 6-7 week trip, Emmett is having tubes put in his ears this week and in two weeks me and the kids will be going to Charlotte!! Wish us luck!
