What we're up to:
- Only a week left in t-ball for Garth Lee, they have had a streak of hard losses, but it is clear that all the kids have really improved...after the last game Garth Lee told me that t-ball just may not be his sport
- Gavin is growing and growing, I'm going to take him to get weighed Monday for the last time at the weight clinic. He was 13 lbs 1 oz 2 weeks ago, so I am pretty sure we are looking at somewhere in the 14.5lb range for his 3 month which is about 75th percentile which is pretty good considering he was born at about the 30th percentile
- Gavin slept for 5 hours in a row last night for the first time...I know a lot of kids are already sleeping through the night for real for a while at this age, but for us this is big and by definition "sleeping through the night"...for one night at least
- Garth was able to hood Kelton yesterday and it was a special moment for the whole family. The Hooding Ceremony was very long, but all the kids did pretty well. I did have to find me a corner to nurse in at one point...but it went very well, Gavin was just chillin' most of the time and slept some of the time, I'm afraid we are about to get out of the portability stage but I look forward to each new stage so I am ok with that...for now...in the infamous words of Melanie Lynskey a.k.a "Lurlynn" in the 2002 Reese Witherspoon movie "Sweet Home Alabama"--'This 'uns still own the tit, so I kin cart him inywhayer' ;)
- Garth Lee only has 2 half days left of kindergarten...I can't believe he will be in first grade in the Fall
- We got our tour approvals for when we go to Washington, D.C. and we are going to get to go through the Capitol and the Pentagon so we are excited...it is crazy all the security stuff you have to have in beforehand, we aren't going until the week of the 4th of July and I have to have all of our security clearance stuff in by this week or we can't do a tour...it's getting close and we are so excited
- I turned 29 on the 14th...we got a new car and traded in the Armada...Garth said Happy Birthday! when we got it but I'm not so sure that saving $150 a month constitutes an actual 'present'...but I could be wrong...and I'll definitely take it, I love my new car!
- I'm back at work every other weekend, Garth is a great daddy and takes care of the babe when I am at work. Two weeks ago I worked one 12 hour shift and Garth had to feed Gavin bottles in the afternoon (in the morning, I nursed him during breaks at work) and he really didn't like that at all...after the first one though he decided that was all he was going to get so he sucked down the others. I am of course nervous about leaving him again, but miraculously he is just fine when I get home so I think I will start to chill about it soon...maybe ;)
- I'm still campaigning for a Flip camcorder for my real birthday/Mother's Day gift so maybe I will actually have some video up soon?!?!
