We have a new cousin (well the Gs have a new cousin). Rob and Katilyn welcomed a little boy into their family on July 31st. He looks absolutely perfect (I've only seen pictures). Lydia is going to be a great big sister. Congrats again to all of you!
Matt is working 12-hour shifts all week (11A-11P). It will make for a nice paycheck but it sure does make me tired when he works this much.
G1 is talking so much now and we can understand almost all of it. A year ago I didn't think he would ever get to this point! We are still working on potty training. I'm pretty sure if I could dedicate a day or two just to him we could get him out of diapers. But I don't have the time or energy for that. He is so smart--always amazing me with what he knows.
G2 is talking a lot now too. Everyday I can understand a little bit more. I think she's going to talk as much as her mommy does (just a warning to all!). She loves to mimic what G1 does; which doesn't always make Mommy very happy.
G3 is still my more quiet one. But I understand more of what she says than I do of what G2 says. Probably because she doesn't ramble as much. She just gets down to business and says what she needs.
G4 is so much fun. She trys to "talk" to me all the time. She loves her big brother and sisters. She's still not laughing much but she smiles all the time. I can't believe how big she is getting. She is almost completely out of 0-3 month outifts (only the really big ones fit her). She has a few 6-9 month outfits that fit her really well. It's crazy.
I am trying to come up with what the Gs will be for Halloween. I have no clue. If anyone has any suggestions feel free to share.
I am also working on things for G2 and G3's birthday. Yes, I know their birthday isn't for 4+ months, but if I don't get started now then I will feel too stress later. I know the theme (which is normally the hardest thing for me) but I can't figure out what decorations and stuff I want. Since I make most things I need to get that figured out...
Anyway, that sums us up right now. I hope everyone is doing well.
Oh, and some pictures just because.
Congrats to Rob and Katilyn! New babies are so fun. You made me laugh when you said you understand G3 more than G2 cause she "doesn't ramble as much"!
ReplyDeleteYour website is beautiful, I love seeing photos of your family and reading your thoughts. I remember when our kids were so little (oh yeah, we still have several little ones) and how busy it kept me...I can understand how hard it would be to accomplish anything except taking care of the kids, which is your number one priority and you're doing wonderfully! You and my daughter Janina have a lot in common, I hope you can be friends!
