Day 287

This morning was AJ's parent/teacher conference. She's very happy with his performance in school, but she said he's gotten comfortable and has become a little too chatty. I think I had that problem too! She said everybody in her class gets along so well, that its a problem with pretty much all of them. He got his first report card, five A's and two B's. :) He's learning to read and it's so cute, I love it! When we look at books, he scans the words to find words he knows.

 

I weighed myself yesterday and I've officially lost all of my pregnancy weight! Probably the fastest of the three times, thanks to breastfeeding and not gaining as much this time! I'm still waiting for the energy and motivation to start working out, but I'm in no big hurry. I want to enjoy every free second with my baby!

Day 286

This is a 3 month onesie. What?!

How is this possible?

 

We put the big kids in bed early tonight, Asher was already sleeping, and had some cuddle time on the couch, catching up with our favorite tv shows.

Loved it.

Day 285

I headed to the grocery store with Rian and Asher this morning, feeling pretty Super Mom-ish! ;)

 

Rian wanted to go play with AJ at Grandma and Grandpa's so I took her over after we unloaded the food. I spent the day cleaning and cuddling Asher. I'm so thankful for our parents offering to take the kids, if not, I'd never get anything done lately.

 

Grandparents, crockpot meals and the Baby K'Tan are life savers!

Day 284

Rian spent the day telling me she was going to ask Grandpa if she could go play at his house when he dropped Aiden off. As soon as I opened the door, she asked, he said yes and she changed her mind. What?! She's so strange. Aiden wanted to go and ended up spending the night.

About 15 minutes after they left, she wanted me to drive her down there. Tough luck, little lady!

Waiting for Daddy to get off and bring home supper!

(Fridays are almost always pizza nights.)

Day 283

Rian's first time doing dishes.

 

I had her do them because she's had a horrible attitude with me lately. She was playing outside and she brought in dirty cups, that she'd been playing with in the dirt. I told her to take them back outside because I didn't want them in here and she, so very rudely, told me I better wash them then. Not. So I made her little butt wash them instead.

 

It turned out to be more fun for her than anything. Maybe next time I'll have her scrub toilets. ;) At least I tried. And I'll never stop trying. I'm bound and determined to raise polite, respectful, hard working children.

Day 282

Most handsome little dude.

 

As if Kindergarten would be any different than preschool, AJ has to make sure he "looks cool" every morning before school. Always dressed to impress. :) 

Day 281

I'll love you forever.

I'll like you for always.

As long as I'm living,

my baby you'll be.

 

Asher's getting so big already. I love his tiny fingers and toes. And the itty bitty dimples on the back of his hands. I love how he wiggles nonstop in his crib after I put him back in after a feeding, and the second I pick him back up, he falls fast asleep. I love being his place of peace and comfort.

 

The newborn stage is so blurry and exhausting. We're still learning each other, but we're doing pretty amazing.
