I did it again. I began writing this post over two weeks ago. Sorry for the delay in posting.
Jonathan had his six month appointment this morning. He is just under 18lbs. (17 lbs, 15 oz) to be exact. He is in the 50th percentile for both weight and height - can't get more average than that. Of course I think my little guy is more than average and quite special. :) He is rolling everywhere, so much that it has disturbed his sleep a bit. Some of you may not know, but because he was colic early on, we had him swaddled all the time. This was the only way to calm him and as a result he would only sleep this way too. Well since he has been rolling over so much from his back to his tummy we have quit the swaddle cold turkey. So naturally this is a big adjustment for the little guy. But he is doing better than I expected. We still encourage him to put himself to sleep and bless his heart, he still does, but just with a little extra help. He is so happy and I am loving every second of him (makes me wish I could steal back that time with Katelyn) I am so fortunate to be at home with him. Speaking of........
Katelyn was enrolled at Montessori part time starting Feb. 14th. Part time means, every day (yes, every day) from 8:45-11:45am. I thought this would be great: I could spend some more one on one with Jonathan, actually clean this messy place, and even run errands here and there. BUT, I couldn't take it - I missed her SO much!!! I pulled her out of the program only after one week! ha ha. Hey, at least I gave it a week. But really, what was a thinking? We both cried every day after I dropped her off, but I have her all to myself now, and although she is challenging at times, I now know, I wouldn't want it any other way.
Katelyn had her two year appointment about two weeks ago and also celebrated her 2nd birthday on February 20th! I can hardly believe it. We celebrated with family at good ol' Happy Joe's. It was wonderful - she had the best princess cake ever! Except when we went to cut into it, she freaked out. I think she thought the whole thing was a toy, but only the the princesses and castle were plastic. Every other part of it was cake and frosting, even the ramp to the castle! ha ha. (will post some b-day pictures soon) She is so blessed to have such a great big, fun, loving family, and so are Brian and me. Thank you family for such a fun celebration!
Since I am running out of time I will try and post again soon. Things have been great here, but I am ready for the nice weather and to take the kiddos out in the double stroller. Yes, when I got the new stroller, it was like I got a new car! ha ha. I only got to use a few times right after Jonathan was born and the weather got bad. So needless to say, I am excited. I get exercise and the kids get fresh air. It is a win - win.
