Six weeks.  After six weeks of life , Keira girl is becoming more of a "person" to us. More of a presence in the house.  She stays awake for a few hours at a time finally. And sleeps for 6-6.5 hour stretches at night. This is even better than Garett. He hit 7 hours a night at 8 weeks. How did we manage two kids with these sleep ethics? Lol She naps for 1-3 hour increments in the day, and eats 4oz (sometimes 3) of breastmilk each feeding, which is between 2 and 4 hour increments during the day, and only when she wakes in the night.  She LOVES bath time. She loves eye contact. She ADORES being told she is beautiful and pretty.  Sister can out poop anyone.  She is all smiles and giggles when mommy is holding her , but hasn't smiled  genuinely for daddy yet, lol She loves when I play music. She loves sitting up always. She suffers from daddy's FOMO condition (fear of missing out).  Mommy has quite the stock pile of breast milk In the deep freezer, and is p...

Friday Tyler was off work early, so we went and test drive a few vehicles for me. I had them price out the car I wanted. I was impressed by the numbers then, but since Tyler has bought three trucks in the last year, they gave my papers to the manager and had him rework them. They were going to email me that night.  So we headed off to my mother in laws for a quick visit, and headed home for dinner. We ordered in some food and relaxed for the night.  The dealership emailed me after we got home with new numbers, and I agreed to go in the next day to sign off.  Saturday, we were up bright and early. Tyler and Garett were supposed to go fishing with my father in law, but they were calling for rain all day, so we cleaned the house a bit, I took Garett to the dealership and I signed all the paperwork, picked up some McDonald's and headed home. We lounged around for a bit and played and then Tyler ran out for some errands. We had a few people over to visit, have a few drinks and...

Being off of work , my hobby of making lists has only blossomed further. I can't help myself , you guys. It might be an addiction. Instead of "notes" on my phone, the app should be called "lists " Anyways, I thought it may be productive to make a list of things I need/want to get done this fall season!  -sell my car (done) get a new one (working on it) -book our free trip we received for buying our membership -expiration March 31,2017. (Booked, but need to book flights) - pick an outting for our first date night away sans kiddos. (Nov 18-got tickets to see Marianas trench. So we are only out for a few hours at bedtime :) ) - nail down a date for my 30th shindig at the house (i think I have picked a date ok October , lol) -pack up all unused toys and too small clothes to deliver to the churches "free store " -attend the Samko and Miko toy sale  -take the kids somewhere fun as a family -have professional family photos done -get my...

This week saw very little action. A visit to have her hearing test done (she's perfect :) ). A trip to shoppers for some stuff we needed. A visit from grandma and grandpa and little trips to pick up Garett/car rides and that's about it!!

Was late on week 4!

Here is what I'm loving this Wednesday: -the cooler temps in the mornings. It makes me want to buy a cool new fall wardrobe, sip hot chocolates, cuddle up with a blanket and a book, so on and so forth. All of the typical fall activities. I can't say I will even miss this summer. Having been 41 weeks pregnant in the depths of hell , I welcome fall, and dare I even say *winter*. I look forward to thanksgiving and Christmas! Lol -Keira and I went for a doctors appointment yesterday , and it was our first time out alone together. It went smoothly , except she spit up on my blouse , so I had to wear just my tank top for the rest of the excursion lol. She is 9lb 8oz now and 21 inches long :) growing on par with average and is very strong ! She can lift and hold herself up on her elbows and hold her head up when places on her tummy, and the other day, in her sleep, she ROLLED over from back to belly ?! What the what? - not loving how fast this last month went by, but do love the new i...

I think you all pretty much know what my life has been lately , lol -We have transitioned well into a life with two kiddos; into a family of four. Keira slept a 6.5 hour stretch last night, and I got a 5 hour stretch. That's the most consecutive sleep I have had since she was born. Now I want MORE. she just finished her feed , and now in pumping. Only 25 more minutes and I can return to sleep land until Garett wakes around 7:15. (1 hr 45 mins worth, if I can fall asleep easily ) -how is it that We need to clean out the fridge everyday now? Between leftovers and putting things aside and things going bad, I feel like we live in a constant state of chaos control of our fridge. I guess I'm just not used to this visiting the grocery store so often thing. I'm used to the fridge being sparse looking around this time of the week, and it's at a perpetual state of FULL to the brim currently - we celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary the other day, and Tyler and H man went to ...
