My Big Boy

Simon slept in his twin bed last night. It wasn't planned, I wasn't prepared, I wasn't emotionally ready either...but he did great.

Simon was having a really hard night so to settle him down while also taking care of Janna I put him in the big boy bed in Janna's room. He settled down and curled up and went to sleep as I told Janna stories and talked to her.

I went in later and put the baby monitor in, put up the gate, etc...

He didn't wake up until 6am. Both kids slept through the night. yeah! Though between 5am and 6am he hit his head on the wall 5 or more times. He moves alot in his sleep like Janna. I think the final bump woke him up. He hit the wall hard, hard enough I woke up in my room but everytime I went to check on him he was breathing deep and fast asleep.

Here is a picture of my sweet little boy, who is growing up way to fast!

Simon's War Paint

Memorial Day Weekend

We had a great weekend! Saturday we had a wedding the morning. Janna was excited to get dressed up and see Ms. Kathy get married. The reception was outside and very hot. The wedding was beautiful, but bit long. The kids were good overall. That afternoon we drove up to see my parents. Isaac wasn't feeling well so we took our time and he slept and bed to bed early to re-coop. I got LaRosa pizza for dinner. yum! Sunday we went to church. Simon was tired and fussy but Janna was good. They we had lunch and then Janna played outside while Simon napped. Janna loved the pool and playhouse and had a great time. Isaac and I went on a date while Janna played and Simon napped. It was really nice. We went to a movie, Prince of Persia, it was very good and I enjoyed it much more than I thought. Then we splurged and went to Joe's crab shack for crab legs. It has been a year since we last had crab legs, which we love. We took our time and enjoyed the day. I had a great time just spending time with Isaac. The kids had a great time wearing grandma and grandpa out. Monday we just hung out. Mom and I went shopping and found Janna some water shoes. She also got a new pair of sunglasses which she loves. Then we just hung out at the house until we needed to head back. It was a great weekend with family. We are so blessed to have this time together full of love and laughter.

Good bye crib

I came across a free twin bed with mattress through work and could resist. Dad came down and took down the crib. Here is the last picture of my crib. I love the crib, it is a nice crib, in good condition. It just hasn't been used in at least three years, maybe a little bit longer. Simon is still sleeping in the pack n play in the study.

The bed is nice and in good shape. I got plain white sheets on it and will have to get (ask for his birthday) some boy sheets. My mom gave us a side railing, so we are almost set. Except I don't trust him to stay in bed like Janna does and did. So we are waiting to transition him.

The room looks more open and the kids love to sit on the bed and play now. Here is a picture of the room now.

Update

I am have been meaning to write for awhile but it has been busy, with what I am not sure.

Janna is now taking shower, with a whale attachment on our shower head.

Simon is eating cereal with milk using a spoon and doing really well at it.

Janna's last urine test came back all clear, no blood and no bacteria. She doesn't complain of it hurting much anymore either. Yeah!

The bug bites are back, so far Simon has had two. They swell up huge. I guess I need to start putting both bug stuff and sunscreen on. Poor kid!

We have had lots of fun with car repairs. We sunk a lot of money in to the Escape and hope it will last longer. We aren't going to put any more money into the "lemon" of a car.

The van has no air which makes these hot day miserable, I appreciate Isaac taking it so the kids and I don't sweat to death.

I found Isaac a new pair of gym shoes for his trip to England. I have ordered Father's day presents. I even got Rachel (sister in law) a great gift. I feel like I am on top of things at least in the gift area.

This month I will be 30 years old. It sounds old. I love birthday's and look forward to celebrating with my family.
