What a week! Several big developments!!
*first, dean can go from laying down to sitting up!! Big deal because he gets mad when hes laying down, and we would have to sit him up a million times. Now only a few times!
*The other day, I was doing something, dean was laying in his crib. Suddenly I hear this weird noise on the monitor. I go look at it and see Dean's face right in the camera and his hand grabbing at it. He had pulled himself up! Eventually he even knocked the camera in to the crib. So now its time to lower the crib and mount the camera on the actual wall.
*crawling! I had mentioned he did on crawl thanksgiving week. Well now he can do several in a row. Still not all the time but definitely the real thing. So he's officially going from laying on his back to rolling to his tummy to pushing up in to hands and knees to either siting or crawling!
*he doesn't do the mama and baba sound as much as last week. He does this other sound like an almost cough haha. Particularly when he wants something.
*he's starting to make noises when et bounce him haha. So cute!
*speaking of bouncing, we haven't bounced him to sleep since the start of thanksgiving break. We just lay him down and rub his tummy. Sometimes it takes a few minutes, sometimes he fights for twenty minutes, crying and trying to roll over and crawl. Sometimes he is too hyper so we leave him until he gets fussy and then come back. I've been busting out my super nanny skills too. If he's hyper, I walk out and watch the monitor. Ad soon as he pulls him self up, I go in, silently just lay him back down and leave again. Once he gets fussy, I don't leave anymore. But ya, we rub his tummy or back, (depending on if he rolls over). Sometimes he falls asleep with his bum in the air. My favorite is when I accidentally switch to my fingers instead of my flat hand rubbing (basically if I tickle his back) he giggles. It makes me smile and I have to resist doing it on purpose! Otherwise, he won't go to sleep. Haha. But I've always had weird skin, its like hypersensitive. If I rub more than a few circles, it almost hurts. It's hard to explain. Same thing happens if someone tickles my back or arm or something, in the same spot too long. It almost hurts. KR doesnt get it. I could rub the same spot forever and he still likes it. Haha. Im weird.
*started carrots! First KR let him just chew on a raw one. Then we pureed some. They were a bit gritty so that plus a new taste, he didn't like them. Each time though, he liked them more. He loves apples, sweet potatoes, and rice cereal. Still doesn't like banana! Who is this kid?? Oh we tried avocado and that was a no go....
*we got him his first pair of Nike's!! We got size 4 though so he can't wear them for a while :( we were practical and got some he will wear when he can walk. Book. Haha
*we have had COLD weather! Like, in the teens at night, twenties in the day. One night, we even got to single digits one night! Ahh! And deans first snow!!! We didn't go out in it but it snowed!!
*I forgot to mention dean sometimes is in crawling position and then pushes up to his toes. Mowgli!
*KR finished his rotation!!!! They gave him Thursday off to study, Friday he took his test and then played basketball for the first time in a looooong time. Poor guy, I don't think he's played once this whole the weeks!! It was nice having him home!
*I've been crafting up a storm! KR decided we should have a Christmas dinner with a few friends so I wanted our house to look more festive! I finished my wreath last week, made some sparkly vases, and a Christmas card display.
*last Sunday we met up at the Christmas tree farm (KRs parents) with some of his coworkers at the hospital to get them trees. Our tree we had cut was too thick for our stand so we picked a new one. I'm glad because the first one it was dark and I felt rushed. So we actually got to pick one and its so pretty! Then we rushed to church haha. While over there, I finished deans Christmas blanket. Nothing fancy, just two flannels back to back. But Peggys sewing machine has those decorative stitches so we put snowflakes on it.
*so back to our Christmas party. We had Dave and Kelly stanley, who came to thanksgiving, and then Danny and Emily and Reagan (Emily and I have been getting together weekly to work out and hang out, her daughter is two months older than Dean. They like to play. This week, we did the Christmas card displays together. That and one more craft that's not done, I will show it when it is). We had a ham we needed to make, and Kelly made potatoes, and we had salad. Danny and Emily made some yummy dip with chips. Then! The best part! Haha. I made homemade peppermint/candy cane ice cream and homemade hot chocolate! You put it together like a root beer float! So yummy! We got a movie to watch but we just chatted so long, it never happened. I even felt so normal-we put both babies down to sleep and we got to stay up! Dean woke up for his first feeding at 12:20 so that's when we realized it was so late!! It wasn't practical, and I was exhausted, but it was so fun! Just a little normalcy haha. I'm becoming very good friends with these ladies too so it was fun just to chat and be so comfortable!
I think that's our week. There ya go Jen! Thanks for reminding me to finish, stalker!! (Haha I only say that because no joke I am the biggest stalker in the world. I check things like that too, that frequently, and often for people I never even met. Oops, I shouldn't have said that)
Christmas is coming!!!!
My cucumber winter wonderland!
Mmmmm!
Almost forgot! I let Dean ride in the shopping cart!! (Of course with his cover haha) he loved it! But he didn't quite get it, that he had to hold on. So he was floppy haha.
Also, I strung turquoise and silver ornaments on tulle and strung it with our lights on the hutch. They match perfectly! I love it!
Freezing in line at Nike.
K this is gonna take forever to load with so many pictures, I better just post.
