What's Happening?!?!


My house is a mess, my cupboards are bare and we move out on Sunday!! I'm so not liking this 'limbo' stage of moving...SO ready for next Wednesday when we will be in our new place and most of my stuff unpacked-I'm a little crazy! Our last move I had my ENTIRE house decorated and every box empty in 3days!!! Perhaps I am a little more crazy than just a little :)

I want to highlight some new, or not new, things that is going on with the kids before our move. We will be internet less for a few days so I want to do a final entry before then. Here's what's going on with the kiddos :D

*****MADELYNN*****
*is walking more and more BUT only when SHE decides she wants to. If I put him her on the spot to 'perform' then she won't do any new tricks :) She's such a stinker!!
*has decided that it is more fun to boycott homemade baby food and much better to try and eat with her hands foods that she can pick up. Now this is usually the cleaner method, I would rather just feed her things that I have made myself and pureed for her. Thankfully she's a nursing champ and would rather nurse more often than not.
*still does NOT have any teeth. She's not really showing signs of teething other than chewing on things and she continues to be such a happy little girl.
*can sign 'milk', 'hi', and 'dad'! Whenever she gets tired she signs 'milk' as she is always nursed before being laid down. She's getting more forceful in her requests so we have started to work on breastfeeding etiquette...something a 9month, nearly 10month old, doesn't quiet get...yet!
*gives the sweetest kisses EVER!


*****JOSHUA*****
*just transitioned from his crib to a toddler bed. It's been a rough road but everyday we are getting better. I didn't want to do it before the move, but we were unable to keep him in his crib and it became a safety issues so it had to be done. Tonight will be day 4 in this toddler bed...and I pray that he does what he did last night, or better (last night, 3 times out of bed and only 6mins of crying before he was asleep @8:15pm)
*is still addicted to his pacifiers, he calls them 'bees', and still sleeps with 1 in his mouth, 1 in his left hand and 1 in his right...3total.
*has kicked this 'attitude' into hyper-drive and now rolls his eyes, stomps his feet, crosses his arms and throws mini tantrums...thank you cousins! Oh how I do not like it when my kids pick up things from other children.
*is having a really hard time with his 4th-2year molar and it has been 'stuck' halfway in for a while now. Since it is giving him such a hard time he is back to being a biter :( Fortunately *I* am the only one he bites and has not bitten anyone else, never has, just me!
*is a lover of A-1 sauce, frozen peas, cooking, and baths!!
*loves to watch Signing Time!, The Wiggles, Barney, Yo Gabba Gabba, Toy Story and Jack's Big Music Show! The sad thing is that we'll be loosing some of these shows when we move as we will no longer have cable :( but are excited to get back to the 'basics'

  1. I have noticed something. I blog "almost" everyday.... and I know A LOT of people stop by to read but don't always leave comments. Sad but true!

  2. Good luck with the move! I'm in the same boat with Chloe... she won't stay in a big girl bed, and unfortunately Donnie left her in our bed while he was home (I was sleeping on the recliner due to having all 4wisdom teeth out). She's been out of our bed since 7months and now at basically 2.5 she's throwing fits over it. Ugh!

    Everyone seems to be doing well though, and take it easy on the unpacking, lol. It's a lot harder to do things with two kids, vs. one!

  4. Sounds like everything is going great. I wish I was half as neurotic as you are about organization. I need more organization in my life. :D
    Cohen is still working on nursing politely (IN PUBLIC)... as he likes to pull off and let milk go everywhere always when someone is watched. EEEK! LOL
    Chyenne has added the eye rolls too... so annoying. :D
