So it has been a long time since i posted and so i feel obligated to write a post for thoes of you who do check my blog occasionally. Life is so busy these days. I find myself running around and feeling like there is never enough hours in the day! Anyone else feel that way?!
John is leaving on Saturday night to Orlando Florida for a work conference and is gone til thursday. Not really looking forward to that but i guess i should just suck it up because he leaves me again two weeks after that for his yearly retarded hunting trip with his family! Have no idea what the excitement is all about with hunting but boys gotta be boys I guess.
Janae is turning 2.5 next week which is crazy. people in the stores are always saying she looks 3 if not 4. Yes she is very tall and has amazing language skills as well as an attitude of a 10 year old. But she is only 2.5 and is such a smarty pants. She talks so grown up sometimes and imitates me a lot (not always a good thing).
Camryn is 9 months next week, boy does time fly. She will be a year in 3 months. I dont' remember time flying by so fast with Janae. Camryn is a busy girl, she started crawling at 8 months and has mastered the skill, she also has learned to pull herself on furniture and just this week has learend how to walk along furniture. My prediction is that she will be walking by 10 months, well at least i hope so. She is a big girl all around. The last time we wieghed her at about 8 months she was 22 pounds! WE weigher her the last time at the hospital when she had a week of hte stomach flu and then two weeks later she had tonsillits and strep throat! it's crazy her immune system sucks and i wonder how much of it has to do that I did not breast feed her, well i did for about a week! She has also learned in the past couple of months to say "mama", "dada" and recently "nana". She also loves sharing. She takes her soother out and puts it in mine and then takes it out and puts it in hers. Today i noticed she is able to take the wooded peg puzzels pieces out by the little peg with two fingers so her fine motor skills are definetely there. This turkey as big as she is is a pickey eater. She refuses to eat anythign from a jar so she eats a lot of cheerios, rice puffs, mum mums and then food off of our plates. She still is on formula and we are trying to get rid of the night time feed as she definentely doens't need them!! A friend of mine suggested the book, " Baby Whisperer" i think that is what is was called. Anyone have any reviews on that book? I think i might give it a try becasue i would love to be able to sleep through the night! So that is what camryn is up to these days.
I have been busy these past couple of weeks there are some things that need to get down around the house and like i said before there just doesn't seem to be enough time in our day to get them done. Ok well i know my sister will be reading this so I should correct that. we chose not to do the things around the house. My priority is my girls so if we have free time we are doing stuff with them so things like painitng and yard work (other then mowing the lawn) get put on hold. But this past couple of weeks i was able to paint our railing on the deck and john was able to clear out the whole back yard, no more tree stumps or dirt piles back there anymore. What are we doing with the back yard... I have no idea! I really need to paint our upstairs bathroom, JOhn ripped the towel rack out of the wall so i had to do some patch work and now i am thinking if i have to paint the bathroom again i might as well chose a different color! i was thinking a nice olive gree color perhaps! I also would like to finish the downstairs recroom, need to paint over the hideous green apple color i painted down there and also paint the rental suite down there. All of these things to do and they all require no chilren around. ANd seeings the girls have been sleeping liek crap lately I have been napping as well in the afternoon. So ya we'll see when that gets done.
Well i think i have y apped enough on here and have some up got you up to speed on my life. Leave a comment so i know you stopped by!> Here are some recent photos.
