Rolly Boy

So he doesn't crawl yet, but he doesn't need too because he rolls where ever he needs to go. Guess I better make sure my floors are clean. I guess it's too bad for him all are floors are hardwood.

Playdough

I really hate play dough, it gets in the carpet and you can't get it out, it get's on clothes and it's just so messy and we have a hard enough time keeping up with housekeeping in our house, but you add play dough and yuck it's disgusting. BUT.... my kids love it, they absolutely love playing with it and it's really good for fine motor skills, so I sucked it up and let them play with it today they had so much fun. Even Madison who I've kept away so she wouldn't eat it but she really did well.Steak Dinner

Haircut Part 2

OK so you all know how much Michael hated the first haircut that I took Jaden to get, well this weekend he took Jaden to get his second haircut and I absolutely hate it. It's too short!! It's somebody else's little boy, there are no curls left, it's killing me. Good thing hair grows back and his seems to grow back fast.

Thank you for the Sinus Rinse

We have really bad allergies in our family, and unfortunately my kids seem to have all gotten them (The jury is still out on Jaden, but it seems Madison s falling into that category...runny nose for 8 days with no other symptoms). So after talking to some people I have invested in a nasal sinus rinse for our family. What a huge difference. After 2 uses (you use it once in the morning and once at night) Jordan has been symptom free - little to no runny nose and no coughing from the post nasal drip. Kaleigh took a few more times because she was completely backed up (coughing all weekend from the post nasal drip) - She also took a little more coxing to do it, but since Tuesday morning she is so much better, very little runny nose, and little to no coughing from the post nasal drip. She is still coughing a little, mostly because she loves to be outside and the pollen just gets right in there and really aggravates her (but she is completely clear when she goes to bed and when she wakes up.) A cheap solution that is not a prescription, they are still taking Zyrtec for Kaleigh and Allegra for Jordan but they are so much better than they have been all season. June here we come, clearing out the pollen.

Happy Mother's Day

I had a wonderful mother's day, slept in (had a rough night, not with Jaden but with poor Kaleigh and a breathing treatment at 2:30 in the morning) but today she is doing so much better. The pollen is starting to get to her just as Jordan is clearing up. I loved waking up to home made french toast on Challah bread, lots of hugs and kisses. Two beautiful necklaces and family sign on the way. We then went to lunch at a Japanese Steak House with my in-laws (the girls weren't too crazy about the fire part) but the food was delicious. Came home enjoyed some of the beautiful day outside. We went for a walk and Kaleigh learned to ride her bike without the training wheels. It was so awesome, she was so proud of herself, she's a little speed demon, and she only fell a few times, right onto the grass (smart girl). Had some take out, so no one would have to cook, and just enjoyed the wonderful time together. It may not seem like much to most, but it was the best day for me, resting and enjoying the time with my family.

10 Months Old

I can't believe it's 10 months already, don't get your hopes up he's still not sleeping. If it's not one thing it's another. He has gained some weight (YEAH) 14lbs 8oz almost a pound in a month, but he is also cutting teeth at the same time and now has a cold, so at some point, don't know when that will be we will get some teeth. For now he is still not crawling, he rolls every where he needs to go, can pull himself up, eats some table food, he's not a big fan of texture, but does really like pasta and grapes. So we keep loading him up and eventually we know he will be totally on table food. I can't figure out how my kids all come from the same gene pool and still can be so different. Kaleigh and Madison would only eat table food by now it's crazy. He just keeps proving to me that he is going to do things at his own pace.

She loves him so much.

The only sunny part of the Week

I'm so sick of the weather here, although I should not complain, we need the rain so we don't have a drought, but really my kids are having some serious cabin fever. We had a small break yesterday afternoon so I took three of them for a walk and a bike ride. Yes Madison is riding a bike it's crazy.
