We’re had a full week. We enjoyed a meal with Stephen and Kirsten Ryland Monday night. Becca loved looking at and hearing their Berenstain Bear books. Tuesday night we had Steve Johnson over for dinner (the rest of his family is away). Wednesday the kids and I went to our Chick-Fil-A for their monthly free breakfast and then headed to the library for Mr. Bob’s storytime. Ah – a full week so far!
Isaiah continues to grow! He’s starting to “talk” a little bit. He continues to be a good napper and usually sleeps over an hour between each feeding. His last feeding is usually around 9:30 and then he typically eats again around 3AM. Thursday we tried giving him a bottle – wow, he gulped it down like he’d never been fed before! Guess I don’t have to worry about that. I’ve been more tired lately (maybe it has something to do with turning 30) and am enjoying a nice nap each afternoon when both kids are down.
Now for Becca news: Becca is waking up from naps without crying. We’ve come up with a good system for nap time (at least for now). I sit in her room until she falls to sleep. Then when she wakes up and “Mommy is not in the pink chair” she can come out, as long as she’s happy. Lately, she’s been coming out and waking me up from my nap! Becca has napped almost 3 weeks wearing underwear with only one accident the first week. We’re now working toward trying underwear for nighttime. Yesterday afternoon Becca asked for some “M-N-O-P’s” as a treat for having dry underwear..translation “M&M’s!”
Way to Go, Becca!! I’m so happy to hear that you can say, “I woke up and did not cry.” That makes Grammy feels very happy!! And I’m glad that you are such a good big sister, I saw you feeding Isaiah his first bottle! What a good helper you are!!! I just met your new cousin, Megan Lynn Sutter. I hope that someday you two are friends! 🙂
Lots of great news from TX. I’m proud of you Becca – you are becoming such a big girl and great helper. No more crying after naps and sleeping dry – Yeah!! I love seeing the pictures of you with Isaiah. It looks like he enjoys your attention and I know mommy loves your help with him. Isaiah is getting big fast. Loved seeing him in the bumbo last week – he looked so much older. I’m thankful for your picture updates or we wouldn’t recognize him after a week or two. Glad you are taking care of yourself with a nap. Being a good mommy takes lots of energy!
