Fall Has Arrived...

Yep...I am posting on my netbook and I really do love it!
I woke up this morning to a 61 degree house and I really cannot believe it. It actually is depressing. We have a EdenPURE space heater that we have been using to take the chill off downstairs but this morning the furnace had to be turned on as well and it was pretty sad. Andy was texting me and telling me not to do it but there is no way Im going to make my babies freeze!!

Brody is getting around everywhere and pretty fast I might add for not crawling the real way yet. He is so close but just not quite there yet. To be honest, Im not ready for him to crawl. My house is NOT baby proofed. Hudson is really helping me out in that sense because he is always watching out for Brody and what he had and what he is putting in his mouth. The other day brody had a small motorcycle helmet in his head and Hudson told Andy right away! That could have been bad!

I am really struggling with the fact that I dont feel like i can let Brody cry it out. His cry is sooo loud that Im sure Hudson would wake up. Not to mention the fact that we have hardwood floors and everything echos! Brody is at the point where he needs to cry it out. Maybe it will take Hudson waking up for a few nights just until Brody learns. Ugh...I keep putting it off but I do want good sleepers.

Cheerleading is keeping me busy so I rarely have a moment to post but hopefully now that I have this handy little thing, you will see me posting more often. :0)

3 year/6 month STATS

Wow, I planned my kids and you can tell! They are almost exactly 2 1/2 years apart short of 5 days. So...I was able to schedule Hudson's 3 year appointment and Brody's 6 month appointment together and kill two birds with one stone. Here is the full report:

Hudson went first and was so glad that he didn't have to have any shots(I was a bit relieved myself). He stepped up on the scale and still weighs 39 lbs. He has been there for a while. He is also 39", so you can say he is "square" right about now! He is 90th percentile for height/weight but the doctor is very happy with how healthy he is! I knew this was his first "big boy" check-up because he had to strip down to his undies and put a gown on :0) Sooooo cute I must say! We have a very healthy three year old whose vocabulary shocks me everyday! The other day he said to me..."we have to ask our father first....yeah, because that's appropriate!" lol. He's just too cute. And...if you look at the link to our youtube videos you can see that he knows the ENTIRE Lord's prayer! PRECIOUS! Now THAT will make Jesus smile :0) (that's what I tell him)

Then Brody was next...he has one tooth which popped through on August 29th and the other one is on its way! He weighed 18 lbs 8 oz and was 29" long! He is 70th percentile for weight and 75th for height. Brody checked out just fine also and the shots followed the exam :0(. Pitiful...and to make it worse, he fell asleep on me while we were waiting for them to come back with them (because it was 10am morning nap time) so they decided to do a sneak attack. Poor baby! I hate shots.

Well everything is going pretty well with us and I am exited to say that the next time I post....it will be from my new Dell Netbook! So excited! :0)

Time Flies...

We've been on vacation and back and had a wonderful time! Where else can you go on vacation and worship the Lord with thousands of people? Kingdom Bound! At times you can just imagine what it will feel like when we are in heaven and everyone is singing and lifting their hands to the Lord...it's amazing.

Hudson is not my baby anymore...probably in just the last month or so he has transformed into a boy! I look at him, and I can imagine what he will be like at 5, 6, 7 years old and it is so weird! He will be three on the 31st and I just can't believe it. We are going to have a rip roarin' football party and he is very excited!

Brody is growing more and more each day! He is not a fan of vegetables at all but LOVES his fruits. He will be six months old in just 4 days and I really do LOVE this age! It's the best ever! He is still nursing like a champ and this time I plan to go the full year. The only hard thing about doing that is that I have no motivation to lose weight when I'm breastfeeding. I just feel like my body still isn't altogether mine. But that's selfish I guess...nourishing my baby must be more important! We have Hudson's 3 yr appt and Brody's 6 month appointment schedule for 9/9/09 at 9:30 a.m. Weird right?

Andy is at the college and loving his job! He mows all of the sports fields (special with the lines in them and everything) and he gets a lot of compliments on how straight the lines are and how great the fields look. I'm very proud of him and so fortunate and thankful he has a great job. In today's economy...that's everything.

Cheerleading has started and my schedule is about to get VERY busy. However, I'm the type of person who thrives on having stuff to do, but cheerleading is non-stop until february. By February, I need a break! Wow...Brody will be one in February. Unbelievable! Anyone who knows how to stop time, let me know!
