Analisa ~ 28 months
Abriella ~ 4 months
~House Update~
Well, it is official, we signed the papers for our new house. It will be done this August or September. We have our house up “For Sale By Owner”. We have an ad in the paper and we are planning on having Open Houses on Sundays. I hope it sells soon. I am not looking forward to trying to keep the house clean for people to look with having small children playing all over. UGH! I just want this part of it done with. We will be able to move into my parent’s basement if there is time in between us moving out of this house and moving into the new one. So we are hoping to be able to do that to save some extra money for the down payment. We picked out the optional stuff, but I am looking forward to picking out the colors and such.
~Analisa~
I am not really starting potty training yet. If she tells me she wants to go on the toilet great. I do ask her once in a while if she wants to go on the toilet. She has been pretty good. Today she went 2 times. She told me both times she wanted to go. And the other day she went 3 times. So I guess it is a start. I bought some rubber stamps at the store yesterday because they were 40% off. So she gets a stamp when she goes potty on the toilet. I like that better then stickers, because with stickers I am afraid I will find them on my furniture. We bought a set that has some African animals, a Cinderella one, a Minnie one, and a Goofy one.
~Abriella~
I can not believe how big she is getting. I feel like I say this every time I write an entry but it is so true. This may be my last baby and it makes me sad to see her grow so fast. I was at Analisa’s dance class today and one of the other mom’s was saying how they missed that. She was talking about how while I was holding Ella, she was just staring at me. You know, how baby’s just look at your face. Ugh, it makes me realize that it doesn’t last too long. I am luck if I can get Ana to look at me when I talk.
She has been doing very well with her cereal and vegetables. She loves them.
She is grabbing her toys more now too. It is fun to see her grabbing them.
Oh, and we did have to take her to the Drs because my poor Ella, got her 1st ear infection. She got a bad cough that started with the little girl I watch and then Ana got it. And low and behold Ella got it. And for her it sounded so bad so we took her in to be on the safe side. The doc said her right ear had a very mild ear infection. But she seems to be doing a lot better now. Thank God!
~Weight Watchers~
I have gained 0.4lbs in the last 2 weeks. Not too bad, but I am hoping to get back on track and start losing again. I am still doing the Step classes, which I enjoy.
~TV~
Anyone else NOT a fan of The Lord of the Rings? I am just not a Science Fiction person. So the Oscars were not fun for me to watch. Well, the actor/actress ones were ok, but the Lord of the Rings took everything else.
Average Joe – What a stupid ending. What was the big deal with her dating Fabio in the past. Gil acted like a big baby about it. I personally do not think Fabio is attractive. I didn’t get that.
My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiancé – I thought the ending was a good one. What a great family the Coy Family is.
All Star Survivor – I missed what happened between Richard and Sue. Did she blow it out of proportion?
The Bachlorette – Who else was so sad for Matt? I would love to see him as a Bachelor. I am sure he won’t have a problem finding someone now. Did anyone notice how Meredith wore the same dress on Ellen as she did on the Live after the final rose show?
Oh what else…..
Garden of Eden – Is that the name of it. I watched one episode. It seems very similar to Paradise Hotel. I will probably watch if there is nothing else on.
American Idol – Any favorites. I like the red headed guy.
OK – that is enough TV – geez.
~TTM~
Speaking of my baby growing too fast, Tell me what do you miss from when your child(ren) was babies? What else should I be savoring while I have her this size/age?
I hope you are all doing well. Thanks for reading.
