We've Been...

We've (the kids and hubby) been sick!  These last two weeks have been sleepless nights, high fevers, breathing treatments, double ear infections, nasty coughs and lots of snuggling.

BUT!!  There were a lot of other things going on too:)

Believe it or not, life goes on even when the family has the flu!

So we've been...

 Pulling ourselves up onto furniture (at 7 months!!)

 

Crashing

Climbing

Eating lots of fresh eggs

Running

Having dirt road date nights with my man

 

Watching Peter Pan... Over and over

Getting ready for kindergarten

Doing some late night reading

Sick and pathetic:(

Doing yard work

Bonding with Sugar

 

Yes, life goes on... WAY too fast!

Mama & Daddy Update...

I thought I would give you a little update on what we have been doing the last few months!

I guess I am being selfish, because I am going to update you on ME first:)

I have been busy trying to introduce myself into the adult world again!  After being pregnant or nursing for 6 years, I think I have forgotten how to be a person and not just a mom! 

So for starters in the last 3 months, Daddy and I have been to TWO concerts!!  That is more in 3 months then in our whole 8 1/2 year relationship:)

One of the concerts Squeaker went with us because I wasn't ready to try him on a bottle yet.  We got him some camo ear protection and he slept happily in the Ergo throughout the concert!

 

We also did a 5K mud run in October... I think I had mentioned that coming in an older post.

I had been doing the couch to 5K app on my phone and I felt pretty good about running it!

Obviously I was nervous, but I ran the whole thing and came in 11th out of 127 in my age group and 38th out of 371 females!!  Not bad for having a baby 3 1/2 months earlier:)

It was a LOT of fun!  Bubba Love even did the mini run!

We also enjoyed an evening out supporting our local firefighters our little towns annual Octoberfest.  It's the third year we have gone... The first year I was preggo with Baby C and the second year we got preggo with Squeaker when we got home:)  SO I knew we would have a good time!

Good friends, good food and beer... what else could you ask for??

Lastly, Daddy spoiled me and took me to buy my first hand gun!  I was pretty excited and our new date nights consist of dinner and the shooting range:)

I slowly feel like I am becoming a person again (not just a baby making machine)!!

I am excited to see what fun we get into next...

The Many Faces Of Squeaker

 

Squeak is 2 months old now!

He is growing and changing so fast, it's hard to keep up sometimes.

 

He was exactly 12lbs at his check up

He flipped over from his belly to back for the first time at the pediatricians (what a show off)

He smiles and talks to us constantly to get our attention

He sleeps *almost* completely through the night

He is content being toted around to all the older kids activities

He favorite past time is still watching his siblings

For those of you who are wondering...Yes, his eyes are getting bluer and his hair is getting blonder!
