Hoping Fall Hops Here Real Soon...

because we are running out of Inside Activities! :)

Camels, Giraffes, Zebras, Snakes...

A recent birthday party brought us to a local attraction. A Safari. An off-road adventure for our oldest. He was enjoying every minute.

Changes are coming...

In the last month or two I've noticed many changes in the boys. Truett has a new found investment in his brother. He has a built in playmate, a guinea pig, and an audience. His younger brother has always thought the world of him but now, Truett is giving him more and more to enjoy.

Jett will be 9 months this Sunday and I'm not grieving my little one growing up, no, not now! I can enjoy the stage he is now, he loves to sing. It doesn't matter what, just anything. He sings in the bath with Truett (which he thinks is just loud). He sings anytime I start to hum or softly sing. He plays very well by himself and other than that I proclaim him to be a momma's boy.

Truett is talking on a whole level above what I think a 3.5 year old should. He is in a stage where he asks "Does a camel have to potty?" Or "Do bears have to take a bath?" He loves animals and has a recent interest in Diego (a carton about a little boy that rescues animals). He still loves pirates and above all pirate maps/ treasure.

I am 12.5 weeks and can't believe I'm out of the first trimester. It was a little rougher this time around. I had about 3 weeks of almost nausea all day. I am so thankful it is not as bad as some stories I've heard. I am beginning to feel bloated at night. I lost 2 lbs. in the last 4 weeks, but I think that is mostly the weight I haven't lost from Jett and thanks to the recent queasiness.

More changes are coming this fall. Look forward to changes coming to the blog this fall also.

Monkey See, Monkey Do...

My two little monkeys!

Cousins take 2

Cousins

How they love one another! Almost like brother and sister.

Animal crackers

More to come...

Dog Days of Summer...

When it gets hot... swim!

15 months...

That is how old Jett will be when this little one makes their debut! We never planned to have these two so close, but at least they will be playmates (or at least I hope so). Truett will be 4 in January and Jett will be 1 at the end of November this one's due date is March 9th! Ah ya ya! Here we go again. I have my first doctor's appointment in 2 weeks. I'm 6 weeks along right now. We just started back at our workout place this week and I still have about 8 pounds to lose. I hope to lose another 5 lbs. before I plateau and start gaining. I hope to gain no more than what I weighed with Jett in the end. I have a few things I want to talk about but they will have to wait until another time. I'm tired!

Déjà vu...

Here we go again...Oy vey!

Brothers...

that's what they'll always be!

Look at that awful face!


Don't smile too hard, Truett!

More Summer fun...

7 months...

Jett turned 7 months last week and has been so much fun and work lately.

Fun: Work:
-He is crawling - He is crawling :)
-He loves food -He makes a horrible mess while eating
-He is so sweet - He puts EVERYTHING in his mouth (why is this surprising this go-round)
on his mommy,
-He says "da-da"
-He loves the game
"Where's Jett?"
-He loves to watch Truett
& thinks everything he does
is amazing and funny
-He has one tooth on the bottom
and one about to come through
- very happy and this is coming
from a "Babywise momma"

His schedule is this:
9 am wake, eat, play
11 am nap
1pm wake, eat, play
3 pm nap
5 pm wake, eat, play
8 pm night night (with a night-night bottle)

Yes! You read correctly he sleeps 13 hours and takes two (2) hour naps! More on a babywise life later! Don't be mad... it takes a little work, a mom who needs her sleep and rest, and a little structure!

Sometimes life is just sweet

He has made our rainy days less of a drag and our sunny days even better!

June went something like this...
