In she goes
Happy Thanksgiving "Y'all"
The boys had another great week. Parker has started making clicking sounds with his tongue which he and us find hilarious. He will get into clicking and just keep going and going. He's getting more coordinated (and faster) at crawling and will find a way to get to an object to check it out. When he's on the floor and gets fussy, he knows what his mom's feet look like and will crawl over and hold Mom's pant leg until she picks him up. And he's getting better at sitting up on his own. If occupied by a toy he seems to stay sitting longer, until he swivels his head and starts tipping over. He's getting so grown up! He's still not as great of a sleeper as Brady, waking 1-2x a night about 75% of the time. When he wakes we feed him, change him, and put him back to sleep pretty easily, but it does disturb our sleep and can make working 9 hr days feel much longer. He's also not as good of an eater as Brady. We've moved him up into 6+ month (stage 2) baby food to help him boost his calories. He'll eat 1/2 a jar of that at least once a day giving him another 40-50 calories in addition to his four 5oz bottles of breast milk and 2 nursing sessions. Should have mentioned in the last blog post that when Parker hit the growth spurt and Mom was sick we did have to start supplementing with formula (no more than 1/2 a bottle) which he did well with. But even with all that his 6 month clothes are starting to fit tighter, time to break out the 6-9 month clothes!
Love those cheeks
Sitting on his own
Brady is a bundle of energy. This week he woke up before daycare, went downstairs on his own, and started calling "where are you guys?!" Where has our baby Brady gone?! We've told him winter and snow are coming and he gets really excited telling us he's going sledding, skiing, and making a snowman. His little imagination is so fun, he likes to play hit and catch with Mom without a ball - he's pretty impressive at it too since he hits the "ball" in the living room and runs and catches it in the kitchen. Like Aunt Rose says, he's a little "Imp"!
We officially notified the daycare of our move and pulling the boys out of school this week. They took it pretty hard, afterall they spend almost as much time with the boys as we do. Ms Kayse, Ms Christina, and Ms Sam told us they were going to start a petition to keep us here lol. Brady has had such a wonderful experience at the Childrens Courtyard. He's made great friends, learned all sorts of skills, and learned how to interact with other kids and adults. We can only hope to find a place as special for him when we move north.
