Some new pics
A few bathtime pics of Kai's first bath in the big tub. A few pics of Kai's first times sitting up by himself! And of course a pic of Kaeden with his first completed puzzle!!
Can you believe March is almost over?
Well once again my updates were few and far between. I stink at this! LOL
Kai is doing much better since my last update. His eating issues seem to be all but gone and I'm back on a regular diet. He's nursing great and actually gained some weight! At his last appt he was 13lb5oz. Almost a pound gained in 3 weeks! His cousin Quintin went to the dr the same day as he did and weighed in at 14lb8oz... He's officially outgrown my mini man! They both went to the doc as they had some nasty colds and the doc put Kai on a nebulizer machine. We've now gone off the machine and he was doing great until yesterday when his nose got all stuffed up again :p I wish this crud that is going around would just go away and STAY away!
Kai has learned something new, March 17th Kai learned how to pull himself forward from a propped position into a sitting position and stay that way for a few minutes. He still prefers to be held and entertained but I'm sure the day is coming soon when he'll be playing independantly on the floor. It saddens me and excites me at the same time how quickly he is growing up. He's now 6 1/2 months old! It doesn't seem possible he's 1/2 way to a year old!!!! He's also moved into the world of eating solids. I never know how he'll react day to day though. One day he gobbles the food so quickly and I have to give him seconds, the next he eats a few bites and then screams at us. It seems that when he doesn't want solids he's also feeling on the yucky side so I'm wondering if they have something to do with eachother. He loves rice cereal mixed with juice and water. We've tried Sweet Potatoes which he loves, I've mashed up carrots which he doesn't seem too fond of (haven't tried the jarred ones yet) and I've mashed up pears which he also seems to love (mixed with cereal) although Kaeden decided he loved them too and finished off the can that I was planning on using for Kai so it's time to go shopping! He still has no teeth but after the last few nights of not much sleep I'm beggining to wonder if they're hurting him. I know by this age Kaeden had 2 teeth but I'm also relieved Kai has no teeth yet as we're still mainly breastfeeding and I'm not ready to be bitten! Last night we gave the baby safe feeder a try with KIX in it and he played with it for awhile but didn't attack it the way his brother used to. Amazing how two little boys can be so similar yet so different!
Work has been going well. Kaela has been watching the boys for me from 3-5 until Steven gets off work and then I come home around 7ish. I am enjoying the extra $$$ and the adult interaction but I do miss my full days home with my boys. It seems like just as I get into cleaning mode I have to go to work! That's always a bummer! The season ends in less then a month so I'm just trying to enjoy it while it lasts.
Steven and I applied for a home loan last week and are waiting to hear the results of the application. We've found the home we want to buy and can't get our minds off of it! It is a 3 bedroom 1 bath home with a fenced front and back yard and 2 car garage. It's not a huge home but definitely bigger then what we're in now and would give us more room to store our kiddos ;) I am trying to not get my hopes up too high but I just can't help it. Along the lines of high hopes Jared has applied for a job here in Ephrata at the Grant County PUD for a warehouse position and I'm really crossing my fingers he gets it! Do you know how awesome it would be to have my brother live in the same town as me again? We'll just have to wait and see what happens!
Kaeden has been growing into quite the little man. He's in love with puzzles and is working on one as we speak that I've never seen him do on his own! He usually asks Daddy or I to help him and we end up putting the puzzle together on our own. Guess he's smarter then he likes to let on! He's also enjoying his role as big brother and Kai just lights up everytime he sees his brother come around. Yesterday while I was doing dishes I came into the Living Room and found Kailer naked from the waist down because Kaeden was changing his diaper but couldn't find the baby powder. It was too cute. I love seeing the two of them interact with eachother!
Last weekend we had the girls and we will have them for the next two weekends. It was a great weekend, beautiful weather and everyone got along pretty well! We spend most of Sunday out in the garage doing some spring cleaning. It's so nice to walk into the garage and not trip over 10 things trying to get to the freezer ;) After we dropped the girls off at home we came home and continued our cleaning spree on the house. I re-organized my hutch and am loving the way it looks. No more clutter except in the cupboard where it's semi-hidden ;) I also got my computer desk mostly organized and the house picked up. Today I'll try to work on some more cleaning although with Kailer on the grumpy side I'm not sure how much I'll accomplish unless I can get him to snooze for awhile.
Last but not least on my update is our newest family news. Looks like I'm going to be an Auntie AGAIN ALREADY!!!!!! Nutsos LOL Jared and Tammy have gotten a positive pregnancy test and she goes in today for a blood test as she had 2 negatives after the positive. I'm sure it'll be positive though and really think they're insane to have two babies so close in age! I'm crossing my fingers for a girl but you know I'll be jealous if it's a girl at the same time ;) This is all the more reason that the job has to go through and they have to move here!!!!!! Tammy will need all the help she can get!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well Kai is very angry right now and Kaeden wants to show me his completed "something" in the kitchen that he just built so I should wrap this up. I will add a post with updated pics later this afternoon!
