BIg boy beds...jan 21

Well, today was the day that I lost the baby in the house (Thank goodness there is another one coming to fill the void :)).  I had been meaning to get Weston out of the crib, due to the amount of space that he did not have and how he would wake himself up throughout the night because of the tight quarters.  So, today we decided to switch the rooms. We took the spare bedroom furniture (which will be #2s room) and moved it into Weston's room, which meant moving the crib to the spare bedroom that will no longer have that title. Weston did well sleeping in his bed the first night.  he did wake up in the middle of the night and walked to me, but was easy to get back down.   He loves his big boy bed and I am thankful for the good friends that helped Anthony with this task so that I could enjoy my MLK Jr. Day at La Paz for lunch.  yum.  Mexican is one of the fave cravings.  Anyhoo, here is the new room that Weston loves and hopefully will get very used to sleeping in.
                                                 Here is the picture of the bed. Thankfully
                                                  the bedspread and things matched his
                                                                room perfectly!

Sitting up on his bed....So happy!

Snug as a bug.  He was tucked in tight on his first night!



Jan 20, 2013

Jan 20 was a sunday afternoon and it was a beautiful day!   We were excited to be outside for a big part of the afternoon while Anthony did some yardwork.  These pictures show two of Weston's favorite things to ride. He discovered that the "Hill" (extremely small hump in our yard)  was fun to push his bike up and then fly down.  I should have never encouraged that trick, but it was fun and he laughed and laughed.  He also still loves his TowMater even though he is a little big for it now. This boy loves to ride and be on the go. we do have to keep a tricycle in the house for him because of the cold weather. He rides it up and down the halls and all around the dining room and kitchen.  We also went to Wilson and he was able to have his windown down in the backseat, yelling, "Faster Daddy" the whole way home. I am going to be in for it when this child turns 16.

i may not post on here everyday, but i am trying to get a picture per day and I email it to myself with a tad of info about that day.  so....jan 16, this is Weston sleeping.  i love how peaceful they are when they sleep.

had an OB appt today and measured right on time.  Saw Dr. Nowachek and he said that we would start looking at dates for the c section.  he agreed to do it for us!  we enjoyed talking with him today.  next appt will be a sugar test.

weston is doing well with potty training.  usually no wet pants in a day (with reminders), but the #2 needs some help. he is getting there and is so proud when he makes it.  hopefully he will have it before walker comes along.

This 2 year old tornado strikes my house every night.  will we have room for walker's things? 
(i think that i may have figured out the uploading again.  i just cant get it from the ipad, i have to do it from the pc.  any suggestions?)

 so tech savvy!  he loves to watch mickey mouse clubhouse, especially Mickeys Road Rally interactive game on the Ipad.  He has taken it over and quite frankly, he probably works it better than i do :)

jan 4 means 21 weeks

the countdown is on..only 18 more weeks til we meet baby 2.  we will be having a c section at 39 weeks so that is why it does not add up to 40 :).  very excited but have so much to do. 

the pic a day thing is going on in my camera world, but this blogger world is not as friendly.    I cannot get the pics to post where they can be seen and I am having difficulty figuring out how I can do this with the new look. I would try another blogging site, but would hate to lose all that I have posted thus far. SO, my conclusion is that it is better to diary anything that nothing at all.  Had dinner with some pals tonight which was much needed. Thanks to my mom for baby sitting.   I needed it after this hectic short week back at school. I can tell that I am going to be HUGE by May, and this is already frustrating me so maybe I do not need to be going out to eat and eating as much...ha!

Maybe I will get the pics to post at some point. Fingers crossed!

Two and a half years

Jan 3, 2013.....30 months ago. 2 and a half years.

This boy changed our lives on July 3, 2010 and time is flying by.

Things he loves: Mickey Mouse clubhouse, fire trucks, Christmas lights (thank God our neighbors are the type that leave them up practically all year), all of the dogs in his life, airplanes, riding his bike, feeding the animals, talking, chicken nuggets, orange juice, green beans, and being sweet.

Day 2

Almost forgot to take the pic today and it is only day 2. Ha! Here is a pic of Weston's new obsession, weird toys at bedtime. He has just started asking to take tons of things with him. Tonight he has a plush Mickey, two airplanes, a book, a ball, and my cell phone. Such a crazy thing he's gotten into lately. Cute though, right? :)

Challenge 365

Today is day one of 2013 which means I am going to try this challenge for the new year.  Gonna try to snap a pic everyday and write a short caption to compile together to make a book to one day give to the kids.
Here is our first entry.......

Jan 1, 2013 busy day of taking down the Christmas tree, saying goodbye to lights and favorite ornaments, cleaning, and potty training!
