6 months already!?


Hello!
So something happened today. My little baby boy that I feel like just came home from the hospital is 6 months old. I'm not sure if our life is just crazier or because I'm already cooking the next one or what but this has gone by so very quickly.

Joseph keeps us busy and on our toes. I feel like he came home already rolling over and wanting to just always be on the move. He is army crawling although he always starts out with good intentions on his knees. He loves sweet potatoes and bananas the most but overall is a great eater. He loves teething biscuits and just anything in his mouth. He has become very drooly so it's that waiting game where for what seems like months you think your child is getting a tooth. With my older two it felt like they came out teething only to wait months upon months of blaming everything on them teething to actually maybe it wasn't them teething. His smile lights up the room and I dare anyone not to smile back. David and Sophia adore him and they are his best friends. Someone else Joseph has become friends with maybe because he just realize she also lives with us is our black lab Princess. He loves crawling over to her and "petting" her. Which sometimes does resemble petting but more so grabbing onto some fur then trying to eat the dog. He also does this to our faces. He loves books and magazines but not for reading purposes more so for crumbling the paper and tearing and ripping it. He does have a swing and walker and 2 jumpers but he prefer the ripping of paper and dog fur.

Maybe this half birthday came at a good time though it can prepare me for my other little boys birthday this month. And when I say little boy I mean almost teenager David who will be 13 next week. I also just got home from the hospital with him as well.

Goodbye summer... Hello school days!

This is the calm before the storm. This is the night before we are back to routines, homework, projects, school lunches, book fairs, fundraisers... it's the night before the first day of school. I was so excited to have school end last year. I worked part time so I'd have 2 extra days during the week with the kids over the summer. The excitement lasted for like a week. I am pretty sure David and Sophia woke up and had a meeting making sure that they would fight over the silliest things that woukd snowball into crying and yelling. They made sure that whatever we tried to do would be ruined by the constant tattling on each other, fighting over who would sit where and who would push the buttons. Let me just remind you because it does seem as if I am talking about toddlers but no my friends, they are 13 and almost 10. I think when puberty comes around they regress into toddlers again only to get upset and saddened over the same silly things that once bothered them as 2yr olds...

Mom life

Hello!      So being pregnant with my 4th child and having a 7 month old at home and working full time I get people asking how I do it. Like it's an option? I just do it. If I didn't do it all then who would? Does anyone have little fairies that I don't know about? Lunches need to be made, homework needs to get done, diapers changed and bottles warmed. If I don't go food shopping or school shopping then my kids would go hungry and naked. There are times when I don't think I can do it. Especially when this lil guy is out in the world needing me just as much if not more than my other three. If I am at my max with washing, cleaning, bathing, feeding, taking each from place to place and back again now how will I do it? And just like always I will power through. Fueled by caffeine, sense of humor and the love of my children. That's what it's all about. There will be bad days I'm sure. I will feel like a failure or inadequate. I will cry. Also a side n...

A whole 2 hands! 👋👋

Hello! A decade ago I brought a very special girl into this world. Sophia is 10 today!! From the moment she came into this world, she has had her own set of rules and plans for herself. She has brought so many fun and amazing memories into our lives. She keeps me on my toes and humbles me constantly. She is often a mirror of who I was as a child and am as an adult. Isn't that just so annoying when you get upset with your child for acting just like you? She is my mini me from her crazy hair down to her goofy personality. She came into this world a mere 5lbs 12 oz. And she may of been a little peanut, her personality made up for that. She was feisty and had this little attitude that sometimes I forgot how old she was because she acted far older and wiser than her age. So this year is a whole 2 hands old. 2 digits. Where does the time go? There was a time she was just this little baby who was my koala and would be the happiest in my arms. To be honest she such a peanut still...
