Long Time No Update

Honestly, there hasn't been too much going on over here.  A lot of the same old, same old.

Gerry finally finished up Leap 4 of the Wonder Weeks, we're finally getting some much-needed sleep!  He's sleeping anywhere from 10-12 hours each night, as well as taking two really good naps during the day.  Hallelujah!  This last leap lasted a little over a month for us...about 5 weeks of waking up every 1.5-3 hours every single night.  To say it was hellish is a bit of an understatement.  BUT, he's come pretty far since this leap!  He's sitting up a bit better (not on his own yet, but he'll get there), he's discovered his feet and he grabs
at toys and other objects with both hands.  He's able to roll from belly to back (though, he doesn't do it often) and can roll about halfway from back to belly.  He's also "scooching" now.  I left him on his belly on the floor yesterday, facing the tv,  to throw away a diaper.  I got distracted in the kitchen and came back in about 4 minutes later to find him turned around and facing his swing...picture the hands on a clock moving from 12 to3.  Not much, but it's something!  He's growing like a weed, too.  At about 26 inches long, he weighs a whopping 17lbs and is wearing 6-9 month clothing pretty comfortably...at just under 5 months old.  The other day, my brother said he better be a linebacker when he grows up or he's wasting all that size.  He's ridiculously happy these days, and spends 98% of his time smiling at someone or something.  He's amazing. 

And Bailey is amazing, as always.  She's got a dance recital coming up at the end of June (along with her third birthday) and she's soooo excited about her recital costume (a crazy pink taffeta number that she tries
to wear every day).  She's still doing great potty-wise, though we've had a few setbacks in the last couple weeks.  Nothing major, luckily, and she still does great overnight.  Scott and I are starting to plan her birthday party...I can't believe "my baby" is turning three already.  Where did the time go?!

She never ceases to amaze me with some of the things she says and does, and I can't help but be proud of her whenever I watch her.  Not only is she one of my very favorite people in the world, but I also like her and think she's one cool kid.  She really, really is.



Not too much else to report on right now.  Scott and I started a new cleansing program a few weeks ago and are having awesome results.  Feel free to hop on over and check out my journey From Sweatpants To Skinny Jeans.  Til next time!
