So I am going to start doing a MOmma's Jibberish post every once in awhile to keep you updated about lil Hunter and life as a family of three+1 furry friend:)
That little man ROCKS MY SOCKS OFF!!
Hunter ‘s life updatesJ
- Currently wearing size three diapers. According to Daddy’s (typically inaccurate) weighing system, HYJ weighs approximately 18.3 lbs. A more accurate weighing will occur at his next doctors appt. on August 15th.
- Has his TWO bottom teeth. They popped through on Friday, July 13th. Poor Miss Penny (daycare), she had a BEAR of day with him until those puppies popped through that afternoon….after that he smiled with his pearly whitesJ Its crazy to see little toofers in thereJ
- Sleeping…well….yes, he sleeps. But not through the night. Not even close. Momma has come to grasps with the fact that “sleeping through the night” just may not happen for this little man for awhile. He sleeps for about three hours at a time. I guess he’s just trying to help me out…I do always say that I don’t get to spend enough time with him….:) silly boy.
He talks…just babbbbbles away. It’s the cutest little babble I have ever heard. Shocker;) My absolutely favorite, which happens at least once a week, is waking up hearing his little babble in the morning. When I go to peek in the nursery, I see him starring at his quilt (made by Grandma Young) and talking to the Cat in the Hat character on it. They’re homies.
Safety First- Wear your Seatbelt - Hutner is working on sitting up…he’s getting pretty good. It always cracks me up when I put him in his bouncer and he tries to sit right up….I thanks my lucky stars for “seat belts” in those things….otherwise I’d be in troubleJ
Over the fourth we went on a mini vacation to glidden. He enjoyed his first 4th…I thinkJ I enjoyed his firecracker outfit the most. I thought dressing little boys would be boring…it is soooooo not. Thank goodness for his personal shopper….also known as Grammy Gillman. J
- I feel like I am starting to get into the groove of this working momma thing. Yes…I have been back to wrok for three months now, but I don’t find myself running around like a chicken with my head cut off every morning. Because for awhile I started to wonder when that would end…or IF it would end. Sometimes I find myself with EXTRA time. Not enough EXTRA time to shower EVERY morning…but thankfully, most mornings I can find the time. My co-workers appreciate that:)
- In less than 2 weeks we will be embarking on our first BIG vacation with the little man. We are flying to Maine to spend time with my aunt/uncle/cousins that live out there. My parents and sister/brother-in-law- are all going. So it will be a great family affair…we haven’t had a family vacation in awhile… so it will be a great time!! And interesting nonetheless.
- He also is now rocking out in his stroller like a big man. No carseat needed. Thank goodness...cause the poor guy gets so hot in that car seat, and now he can look out and enjoy the scenery. J
- DHe lovvvvvvvves lexi. He gets distracted by her often. I think lexi is starting to enjoy his prescence too. Not that we have EVER even came CLOSE to an issue with lexi and the baby…but sometimes I wonder if she’s a little sad that we aren’t AS obsessed with her as we used to be.
Hunter got baptized. Yes, it was beautiful. its amazing the thigns you feel once you become a mom….it was a very emotional mass to see my son being welcomed into the church of god. I have not ever been a BIG church/religious person…I believe in God, I go to church once in awhile….but that moment…was amazing. He’s got the best godparents ever. My sister Kelly, Hunter’s sister Laura, and our brother in law Bob. He’s one lucky lil guy.
Please ignore the box
around my head. (Hunty's Baptism)- He eats rice cereal two times a day…and we’ve really started to get that down pat and I think he really enjoys eating like a “big boy”…..he’s always starring at hunter and I when we eat wondering when he gets someJ So although its not as scrumptious as MOST of our meals….he feels like part of the family.
- I am still trying to find the balance of time with hunter and working out. although working out is important to me, Hunty is obviously more important and that time can pass….but I know someday soon I’ll find the balance I need. I’ve been going on early morning (5:30 a.m.—OMG! J) walks with a friend and nights that Hunter is home I try to go on walks with Lexi at night once Hunty goes down. Although it doesn’t happen allllll the time, it is happening more often than it used to. LEts just say that the YMCA is make bank off of me.
Hunter and his cousin Easton are a hoot….you can quote me on this now…..those two are going to be trouble. Don’t say I didn’t warn you…or, I guess I am warning myself…but….it’s gonna happenJ
Watch out Holmen... - August is filled with a LOT of fun adventures….so I am hoping to post about many of them….everytime I write a post I enjoy the feeling afterwards….but I always struggle to keep up…but I’m trying.
- I miss Hunty…A LOT today….I miss him every day…but today, I am counting down the seconds to picking him up….maybe that is why I am enjoying this Momma Jibberish post.
In case I reference this…future post ideas
- Pinterest challenge…which is a copycat from two blogs that I follow (Bower Power and Young House Love)…but MAYBE if I put a pinterest challenge in a post, it will get me to ACTUALLY do it. Or maybe next time I’ll partake in THEIR challenge. Orrrr…maybe I’ll just talk about all the great ideas that I don’t do, but find on pinterest.
- August events….as a teaser…..Maine. Dirty Girl. Baby Shower Galore.
- Book Club….I bet you’d love to hear about my book club…it’s a good timeJ with good people. good food. good drinks…….oh, and I suppose, mostly good books.
Until next time friends….
