I can't even go see Eclipse cause I lost all my babysitters... I feel very overwhelmed because I'm trying to go through everything in our house but I can't do it all by myself because i cant let brian out of my sights... hes very sneaky! and he doesnt want to sit in his bouncer anymore or in his saucer so that really limits what I can get done... at night when chris is home i can get a few things done but hes only up for a couple hours... i work a little during his naps but its like i havent even put a dent in it! ugh anyways... i'll be fine!

cruisin the house....
That's what Brian does.... he cruises the house. It's so funny! I'm constantly racing around the house after him, he is one fast booger, but I love it! I can't wait to see our First Step's therapist Angie all about his crawling and for her to see it! I'm excited to find out what we are working on next... maybe walking! He is doing pretty good eating table food, he had cream of wheat for the first time yesterday and I thought that he would not be able to eat it but he loved it, yay!
Man, it is so hot outside. We had such an exhausting day yesterday,we were gone most of the day and he was not able to get his naps in but it ended up being okay because there was only my family at church that goes in our class so we left early which Brian desperatly needed!
Ugh, I'm so sad, my dad is heading to Japan on the 30th and will be gone for 5 weeks which means that he will miss Bribri's bday so we are gonna wait till he gets back to celebrate his bday since he won't remember. We can't have it without Grandpa! He's such a huge part in Brian's life! And mom is heading to Florida the same day for 2 weeks.... it's good for her she doesn;t get to see her momma and her family down there very often! I'm just gonna miss them, with Chris working all the time we get kinda lonely around here, but Pippin will keep us company! :)
Chris is working a ton... he worked 13 hours yesterday and on top of that he has the hour drive there and back so stinky! but I'm so proud of how hard he works for our family and for making it possible for me to stay home and raise my child like it should happen! I saw too much horribleness at Headstart and I don't want someone else raising my kid!

woohoo
Boy! Brian is crawling a bunch now... which means I am chasing him all over the living room! He keeps going to our tv stand and I keep saying no and moving him... to no avail! Lol, it's all good though! I'm just soooo happy to see him so mobile! It's so funny because at church we have to sit in the foyer because he has a bit of a temper and doesn't want to sit with me in the pew which is understandable, he just wants to be down and moving!
Feeling bad for my hubby today, it is sooo hot! At 10:30 this morning the heat index was 100 and he is so hot being out there! Me and Brian have not left the house today, it's just too hot to have him out there, he gets really cranky! Of course we had a storm this afternoon right when Bri was trying to nap... annoying! He's only had about an hours worth of nap and that's the total of 2 naps! So.... we'll see how cranky he gets this evening.
When Chris gets home we are gonna eat dinner and then continue our cleaning and yard sale tagging project... mom is giving me her pack-n-play because it's newer and nicer than the one I have and I'm gonna sell the one I have. I also have some Longaberger baskets to sell, they were from my grandma but I just can't keep all this stuff that I don't use. My goal is to have the yard sale next month if not sooner!

Change...
Long time no post... I'm horrible lol! Let's see my almost 11 month old baby boy is officaly crawling yay! I honestly wasn't sure if this day was gonna happen, thank goodness for First Steps! Now he is ready to start pulling up and walking which I know he wants to do so bad! He is also completly off of baby food, mainly because he wouldn't eat which I think is because he has been gettin tastes of table food and he loves it! So he is eating mashed potatos and gravy and whatever I make for supper I just put in the food processor and he eats what we eat. We are just trying to work on handling textures and it's possible that First Steps will have to help out in that area. Our therapist told me that the reason he has such a high gag reflex and is not able to tolerate textures is because he had acid reflux so bad and that caused him to be very leary about what he swallows because he know that it will come back up. :( But.... with some work he will be doing great in that area too!
I have been busy trying to go through everything in my house, starting with our spare bedroom... yikes! The goal is to get rid of all the "extra" stuff, the stuff that we don't use and don't really need! We are wanting to fix the house up a little and put it on the market. We don't know what the future holds but we feel very overwhelmed by how much work you have to put into it and honestly we want to get an apartment in Madison, Hanover is far from church and walmart and such... So if anyone has any tips on selling a house lemme know! We are ready for some change and are very excited!!

Nap time
Sometimes I love when Brian takes a nap but then other times I'm bored and he keeps me occupied lol! I have the dishewasher halfway loaded and I need to get up and finish but I'm too lazy to right now. Last night was a rough night... Brian is coughing still and last night he kept waking up so I would give him pedialytle because his throat is sore. We go to the doctor tomorrow to see our actual doctor not the nurse practioner. When my child is sick and I have to take him to get checked out I don't want to see a nurse practioner I want to see a doctor, maybe that's just me but obviously they didn't go to school for as long as a doctor. They are fine for just your standard checkup but not when my baby is sick and had to go twice to the doctor both times seeing a nurse practioner ugh! Usually when he's sick we see one of the doctors in the practice because Dr. Hayman is kept pretty busy but we didn't get to see a doctor. He is supposed to get shots tomorrow but I'm not sure if he will. I PRAY that he has gained some weight, his size 3 diapers are too big the tabs completly overlap each other. I'm really hoping that we can get his immunity checked and I have to talk to her about his hip. Our first steps therapist is concered about the fact that his hip keeps popping out of socket so she suggested we have his hip x-rayed so we'll see....
On a lighter note...lol... I have been thinking about groceries. I never make a list when I go to the store so I just buy what I want. I don't really cook a lot because Chris won't give me any input! I ask what he wants and he says he doesn't care so he just picks what he wants out at the store, well obviously that is not healthy and pretty exspensive so I was searching around on the net for some easy recipies. I do know how to cook I just don't do it very often. I found some yummy yummy recipies that I plan on making and they are easy and not too exspensive so I feel like this is a win win situation! *** What do you cook at home for dinner??***
Well the dishes are calling my name I guess I better go answer....

My poor baby!
So BriBri is sick... ugh I wish I could wrap him in a bubble! I firmly believe that people don't think about being sick and being around a baby, I'm sure other mommys can relate! Well after much nap today brian is in bed and I hope he sleeps all night and his teeth pop through and he is all better tomorrow! We don't have big plans for Memorial Day tomorrow we are just gonna clean the house and maybe go play cards at my momma's house. Mercy, I'm watching Bridezillas and those ladies are crazy!!! LOL I know I never acted like that with my wedding! I'm so ready to be raking in the dough so me and Brian can go places and have fun spending daddy's money lol!!! Hehe! but seriously I can't wait to take my little boy to the Newport Aquarium he will love it! Brian is slowly making progress with the crawling, he is starting to lift up on his knees yay! I think that me, mom, and Melissa are gonna go in a get a pool from wallie world cause we need relief from the heat and im NOT taking Brian to a public pool, ew! I know that he will love a pool cause he LOVES bath time!! I can't wait till we go to Florida b/c my grandma has a heated pool woot woot! Welp, I'm exhausted and ready to hit the hay!

long time... no update
Been a while... welp Chris had his second day of work at Rumpke and it is going good for him! He starts the hard part tomorrow... he has to ride on the back and pick up the trash but after about a week he will start driving and that will be easier not that he minds the hard work but it's hot out and i like that he will be driving!
Bri Bri is doing great, yesterday he armed crawled for like 2 seconds yay! I have to make his preemie doctor appoinment soon. Man, Brian just rolls everywhere he can get around pretty good I just can't wait for him to start crawling! I entered his picture in the Parents magazine cover contest just for fun!
So Rumpke has really good insurance and I can't wait to get my surgery, I think about it all the time and I'm so excited! after about a year I plan on having another baby, the last one and hopefully a girl!
Well, not much else to say,
