Hey Y'all
Here we are smack dab in the middle of July. Heck we are at the tale end of it. Last week we went to O's 2 year check up and K's 6 month appointment!
K is doing really well. He is now a whopping 15.9lbs and 25.4 inches in height. He is according to the doctor tiny. Only in the 10th percentage. We think he is doing great! He is healthy happy guy all around!
We have now conquered two meats, chicken and beef..we have added a whole bunch of fruits and veggies as well as yogurt and we are eating about 2-3 oz of solids 3 times a day. We started to even sleep longer at night. Some days we get to go to bed at 10/10:30 as we are feeing K at 9:30/10 for the night. Eventually when her gets to eating more solids he will be in bed at 8ish and then around the time the other kiddos go down for the night. Let me tell you I live for that day. You never value the little sleep you get until you have kids.
He is rolling all over and wants to crawl and be one of the gang goofing around. As my DH and I have more children the happier they get. Sleeping in the day are getting few and far. He naps once in the morning and has some spread out naps in the afternoon. I am hoping he starts to have a bigger nap in the afternoon soon as we are still eating most days every 3 hrs.
Separation anxiety and stranger have started. Makes for a long day when we are crying for this mama when I need to change his siblings into clothes for the day or we have rolled once again and decided we are done with it. I always try to talk and sing so he knows where we are..we may just have to start getting naked and dressed in the living room lol.
K loves his siblings and shows it daily, sometimes I fear it is dangerous as he watches their every move. Each day he amazes us. Today we had him in the pool in the heat with his siblings and let me tell you that boy can make a splash.
Captain O:
O is my tank, the hulk, my tornadO! He is now 33.9lbs at 2 years old! He is 35.6inches in height. He is gonna be my big guy!
We just celebrated his 2nd birthday with family. We had a pirate birthday. I created a treasure hunt for the kids. They had clues to follow, things to find and wear and treasure at the end. Even a mermaid lagoon! What other kind of party do you have when your kids love Jake and the Neverland Pirates!!!! O had a great time with Family and we are grateful! This year will lead to lots of more adventures.
This boy I tell you needs a helmet! If there is a place to be hurt, something to be tripped over, climbed, thrown, bumped. He is your guy! Life is never boring with O around. He is forever more my shadow. I can not pee alone..even if it is across the house. He would cross molten lava to find me. You will never ever feel alone at my house if you are going to the potty. If you need to get dressed he will find you a shirt. He helps with everything he can. The other day I had E and O help wipe down all the cupboards with clothes for me.
Some days are long, as O is still learning to speak. He is learning lots of new words daily. Tears are a big thing in our house with frustration, jealousy and miscommunication. We are a sensitive soul and love hugs and kisses. Each morning at 5:30am each day..O comes into our bed for cuddles and to let me know we are getting up for the day. I pump at 6 so it gives us enough time to wake up slowly and start our early day.
Nap time and bed can be fun since we are sitting with O at the end of the big boy bed to make sure he is going to sleep and not running out.We are a pro Door opener and closer! One day we will be able to put him to bed again and just say good night. K and him share a room so they sometimes feed off each other.
Miss E:
Here we are trying to get her to act as a big girl. Our 3 year old starts school this fall. So early, so young...sooo soon. I want to hold her longer..help her grow and know. Not rush this time we will miss so dearly..even though at times it can be frustrating.
We are doing a lot of work with sharing and words and bathroom duties. Doing things for ourselves and learning to want to do it by ourselves. We have a time we sometimes use for eating since we like to fool around at meals sometimes or take a long time. At school we have 20 minutes to eat.
We are a great helper. However the unpacking is at a hault when you have a 3 year old who does not want to help and will not play alone even for a little bit. The songs are amazing the dancing fantastic. I love to hear stories she has to tell me. She loves her siblings...so much she told me we need two babies and she told her daddy she would really love to have a sister. hahaha I told her she has to talk to daddy about that one.
The summer is flying and soon I will be getting stuff ready for her school days to start. I still do not know her bus or teacher etc. All I know is she tells me where her school is every time we drive by and she loves it so much!
I will be posting pics soon. When I get time. This post has been a long time coming.
XOXO the Brants!
