Gone

Well my little guy is on the move. He started trying a few lunges forward here and there. Then outta nowhere he just took off. Now he comes to visit everywhere we go. His big sister is really starting to like her little brother and he just loves her. This morning we were having snuggy time in the bed and he tackled her. Pretty sure he is only getting beat by 3 or 4 pounds by now. Not a chubby baby, just a big boy and boy is he strong. I may have a reverse mullet hair style before the week is over. His fave thing to do is hold on to mommy by the back of her hair :-)

He is such a happy boy...he wasn't always this way. And I wouldn't be either if I had terrible excema and bad bad gas. Now he is on regular formula and taking 8 ounces 4 times a day. He eats cereal for breakfast, and has 4 oz of meat and veggie for lunch, then rice cereal mixed with fruit or just a fruit for his dinner. Goes to bed around 7pm and gets up to eat at 630am. Lately I have been trying to get up then or a little before to workout, so he sometimes goes back to sleep after the morning feeding. Still has 2 naps a day. Much better napper now (thank goodness) 1-2 hours a pop! YAY!! I can get so much done during this time! Thank you for being such a sweet boy, even though you really really really love your daddy now! I cannot believe you are already 8 months old and I am planning your 1st bday! You are truly a blessing "Ghee"! Mommy loves you!

Abby is doing great potty training, besides the poop incident of 2011. We basically started over this week. She wears a pull up 99% of the day. And tells me when she needs to go potty or goes by herself. The pull up is just precaution. We never had any really luck with "real" panties. But we will try them again next week. This is working for us...so it makes sense to me. She is totally my child, and I get frustrated with her sometimes only to have to remind myself....its not her fault. I am her mom afterall :-) But I love her flair for accessories of all types.
Our only issue right now is the lack of her baby gate that baricaded her in her room at night. She started climbing...after all she is her fathers child too. So instead of getting hurt we decided to take it down. Now we have a visitor almost every night but once. I think this is a phase of being able to get out...but we will see. It normally doesnt bother me because she snuggles up to her daddy leaving him all 1 foot of the bed on his side, but last night I got a nice kick to the face. What a fun way to wake up. After we handle this pacies and blankets will be the next to go. Wish us luck with it...will surely not be fun :-)
My sweet girl - you are silly, crazy, funny, loud, loving, caring, messy, "squishy", sticky, beautiful, smart and special! We were blessed the day you were born and cannot believe how time has flown. You say the darndest things and catch us off guard all the time. Thank you for putting up with me when I am frustrated...we are so alike that can me hard sometimes! I love you my little B!

On an ending note, My Grandma or Gigi as Abby calls her ending up having double bypass instead of single bypass. She was in the CICU for over a week. And thankfully is home now and doing good. She is a tough cookie and I know she will fight to get every last bit of her strength back. After all she has two little people who can't wait to love on their Gigi again :-) Get well Gigi! Behave and walk like your supposed too! We love you!

That's all for now! Planning on having a great weekend with friends celebrating my birthday and theirs. And a kiddo free one...they are going to one of their favorite places...Mimi & Pop Pops house!

Tootles!

Taking pictures just got more complicated :-)
