Sorry. It seems as though I am always starting my blog posts with sorry, but really I am. I tend to think about updating this blog right as my head is hitting the pillow for a night of sleep. Oh well, I am here now, so prepare to be updated!
-I am nearly six months pregnant and that just shocks me!! I can feel her (no we do not know what we are having, I am just calling it a girl, lol!) moving like crazy, I can feel the indegestion and the heartburn like crazy too. Ahh the joys of growing a child, lol. When asked, are you ready to have that baby? The answer is no, not at all. We still live in the basement at my mom's house, and that is not where we want to bring a baby to live. We JUST got jobs FINALLY and so we do not know yet what our income is going to be so the hopes of getting a place soon may have to wait until we have a better grasp on what our income is. I have yet to look through the baby clothes, and even when I do I just know I am going to discover that all of the baby clothes that we have are for a baby born in winter! HUH! What a shocker!! It just seems like alot of work for this fat pregnant lady.
-London is crazy. I could just leave my update on London at that, but really I must explain why he is crazy. He has started babbling alot lately and he added alot more syllables which makes us believe that real words will be coming soon. He has started picking up baby sign language super fast, so now he knows quite a bit of things he can just sign. for example, he can sign eat, drink, more, all gone, dog, dad, mom, bye bye (of course, lol) I think there is more but I am not remembering. He can say dog, Ella Mae (the dog's name), go, mama, and da. So as you can see his sign language skills beat his speaking skills, lol. Hopefully he will be talking soon though, I know I will regret that. He has really started being a little comedian and it is so funny. I need to get a video up because I cannot explain the crazies that this kid does!
I know that my writing skills have begun to deteriorate but I am tired and busy all the time so cut me some slack! Hopefully I will be writing soon!
Obviously! I have not been on here in a few months and I apologize. We recently have had a mold issue arise in our apartments and the owners are refusing to fix it properly. After having the mold tested we discovered it is a dangerous mold that can cause death, and brain damage, among many other things, so we needed to get out of there fast, and we did. We are currently residing in my parent's basement, there is a wet bar and two rooms so it really is not that bad. We plan to be out by July.
That is the current news, but let's rewind, shall we?
London celebrated his 1st birthday on Nov 2nd!! He had a great little party with just family and friends, and a nice 3D ducky cake. I cannot get pictures up just yet due to the move but I will soon enough. He is walking very well now and can get up on his own without holding onto anything. He does a few baby signs, like Daddy, more, all gone, dog, and milk. We are trying to get him to learn more and trying to teach him some new words! He loves playing and laughing and just being a huge flirt and a cheese.
In other news, we are expecting our second baby on July 4th!! I am currently 13wks along and I think the morning sickness might be slowly fading away. I have no idea what this baby is, with London I knew that he was a boy the moment that I found out I was pregnant, but I have no idea with this one. We are hoping for a girl but of course we will be happy either way. I am craving sweets like crazy and I found them repulsive when I was pregnant with London, so maybe that is a sign....I am already popping out in the front and am dreading how big I will be when I am 40wks along!!
We had a wonderful Christmas his year. It was so much fun watching London really begin to enjoy opening presents. My grandpa (mom's dad), London's great grandpa, and his wife, Gail, finally met their great grandson, and Bryan for the first time ever at Christmas and that was super special to me. I hope they enjoyed it as much as I did.
Well, I think that sums it up! Hopefully I will be able to get pictures up soon and share them with everyone. I will try harder to keep this blog updated more and more now that we have a new growth to talk about! LOL!!
Well London is almost one. Almost one. Sorry I had to say that twice because I just don't believe it. I have been eager and yet scared to see what the next stage in this baby's life is. So far his new things are, picking mommy and daddy's nose, taking off mommy's glasses, playing in glasses of water (we have grandma to thank for that one! UGH!), when we tell him to stop he stops, looks at us, then continues. Oh boy, what fun toddlerhood will be. I love him though, no doubt about that. This morning he woke up and gave daddy un-asked for kisses, it was so sweet! Did he give mommy kisses? No. Oh well, I am just a boob :)
In other news Bryan has been working hard at his new job and hopefully we can get caught up on a few things. I am currently working on a new blanket for London out of a pattern I made in my head. Hopefully it will be as good as I am envisioning it.
The holidays are scaring me because we have a lot of family to buy for and I just don't know how we can do it. I may just be making gifts though, we will see. I will update more late, I just feel that this post is a bit too ramboly.
London is getting close to walking, I just know it. Instead of crouching down and crawling when he wants to get somewhere he actually tries to move his feet. He has taken 1 step here and there, but that is it. Maybe that will be his present to us on his birthday! I am planning what to do for his 1yr birthday, and it makes me sad to think that my baby is almost a toddler! In fact, just writing that made it become more real then it should and now I am even more sad! It is getting cooler and we are finally able to get out the winter clothes. I cannot wait to be posting pictures of London playing in the snow. Other then that it really is the same old, same old....oh he has become more talkative but he only says ga! He points with his whole hand at the dog and yells, GA!! It really is cute.
London is now 10 months old.......let's see that means I have not blogged about my amazing little baby since he was only 7 months old. For that I am a bad blogger, I am a bad blogger because so many things have happened yet no one knows that. All I have to do it sit down and move my fingers to form words, and then all of you will know how my baby is doing. But, did I mention I have an 10 month old? Who crawls, and destroys, and climbs? Oh, I didn't? Well that is my excuse, so you are going to have to deal with this update!
Let's see, baby London will be turning one in just a few months and that means alot of sadness is felt from mommy. Where did my baby boy go? The one who I had to hold his head up and swaddle him? The one who just sat still where I put him? The one who would sleep throughout most of the day? Maybe I am not sad that he is getting older just sad that my sanity may be dwindling.......
He says dada, mama, and a form of dog that comes out more like ah-gh, but he does it in a very cute high pitch tone anytime he sees a dog, it really is cute.
He comes running (well crawling really fast) anytime I have food :) go figure~
He walks with assistance but as soon as I try to let go he crouches down to sitting, who knows when he will walk.
He dances ANYTIME he hears music, it can be a commercial or a theme song, he will shake his butt like there is no tomorrow.
He loves to cheese it up. If he finds something that amuses us and make us laugh he will do it again and again, all the while checking back in to make sure we are laughing. The other day he was running (again, just crawling really fast) off of our mattress and then "tripping" onto his then laughing and loving it more when we laughed, it was too cute!
As far as mommy and daddy go, we are just chuggin' along. We wound up hacving to find Rubie a new home because she snapped at the baby and luckily Bryan's brother adopted her. We are on speaking terms with Bryan's mom and everything is going great, I am beyond thrilled to have her back into our lives.
I recently had to quit watching the little baby I was nannying for because as the babies got older, my hair became thinner....... so now we are just trying to make ends meet, and I am trying to find a part time job. We will make it though, we have no choice but to.
Bryan and I are still two peas in a pod and I fall more in love with him th emore I watch him interact with our son. We are the perfect pair, I know what he is thinking before he knows it himself. He is currently looking for a better job too because his job just isn't cutting it.....so if you know of anything good out there, let us know!! LOL!!
Anyway, it is late, I am tired, and I am cramping in my hands :)
Well much to my surprise London has not stopped growing since I last posted. Yes, that's right he is doing more and more things then he was. He crawls like crazy, my poor little baby has bruised knees but still has a big smile on his face. He pulls up to anything and everything now, nothing holds him back. He says Mama when he wants to nurse, because I ask him if he wants mama's milk when we are getting ready to nurse. He talks a little more, meaning that when asked a question he will reply with some form of gibberish I have yet to understand. When he sees the cats or the dog he goes, ah-gh, I honestly think he is saying dog. He gives us kisses, and when we pretend to cry he snuggles me and kisses me until I am done. He is always smiling and always on the move now it is just breaking my heart to see that my baby is growing so fast. I don't have much time to do anything nowadays (like update this blog!), because I have started watching a baby and a 4.5 year old from home. Not to mention London is in his mommy only stage so I cannot leave for too long unless he will start to freak out. I love him so much no matter how insane he makes me, or how many things we have to baby proof now, or how he has learned to shove things away or hit them away when he does not want something. Oh boy, just like I said, we are slowly entering the teenage years, you just wait!
