Sophie

Yah so I just realised that I haven't posted anything that has happened with Sophie!!

So here is the Status:

She Gained her weight back up to 12 lbs.
The doctor had us on Formula 1:1 (normally 1:2) for 2 weeks.
Now we are still going to supplement but not as heavy, 1:1 1/2
I was really bummed that we still have to because now she is not wanting to nurse as good, because she knows she is getting a bottle after she eats. So I guess we will just hope she nurses good enough I don't have to stop!!
SHE IS SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT NOW!! Hurray, she was sleeping from 10 til like 5-6, which isn't really Horrible. But the last week she has been sleeping from 9 or 10 until 9!! I am so happy, and I feel like I am sleeping so much better. And Jake is sleeping in more too, he had been getting up at 7. He is sleeping til 9 now too!! I am not so ornery in the morning anymore!

GO Green, Recycle!!

Ok so the funniest part is that I am so not THAT green, that I would advertise...BUT,



I get 4 newspapers a week, doing my coupon thing, and I have been trying to figure out what to do with them once I strip out the Coupons. So I have a box for the winter when we start lighting our fires, I usually give one to the inlaws if they want one, and I found a new way to use them. This way is my favorite by far!!! It gives me 20 whole minutes of not worrying about Jake, because I know RIGHT where he is, and costs me $14 a month!! LOL

Well, I got a kick out of that, and Jake had a ball!! He even cleaned up after himself. And I wrapped a bunch of his toys, and He was still so excited when he opened them still. What a Stud!

Sophie Update!! 6 Month Check-up!!

Oh MY!! How time FLIES!! I have absolutely FALLEN IN LOVE with this little girl. She has such a fun personality. She is so happy unless she is Hungary, or Tired!! And it is a FULL ON SCREAM. I have yet to see this girlie shed a tear!! She loves to play, eat...and Chocolate...Yes she has tasted it and LOVED it!! I started feeding her cereal, and did not have a problem!! She shoves EVERYTHING in her mouth.
I took her to her 6 month checkup, and here is what happened, well lets stert with saying...on her 4 month she was 12 lbs. and On her 6 month she was 11 lbs, 4 oz. I knew she was small, but I had no idea she was loosing weight. She eats good, and rarely would get fussy, so the doctor decided to try and do a formula suppliment for a couple weeks. She seems to be getting bigger, but we will see sometime this week!! Otherwise, on comes the blood tests to see what the issue is, which I hope we don't have to do!!
I love being a mom, and my Kids make it so great. I love that they love me, and that I can be home to take care of them. I love being a full time mom, the BEST Job in the World!!

Wait...Jake is 2??

Jake spent the night at his Grandmas!! Thanks Guys!! I was able to work on his cake, sleep in...it was a good day!! I was excited for him to come home and see his cake! He loved it, he said 'mom i eat cake, elmo' It was too cute!! We got all se up for the party, had Pizza and Homemade Rootbeer!! Then on to open presents, he sat down and started opening one. When he opened it he did this like evil, excited laugh...there really is not another way to describe it!! I love that kid. He lovead all his presents, and exspecially his new trike!! He got it half way through opening his presents. Not the smartest Idea, because he just wanted to ride it. It took quite a bit of effort for him to finish!! He got like a BILLION "Noisy" Police Vehicles. Which he LOVES, but thanks guys for the headaches to come!! He actually went to bed with 3 of them...He thought it was so cool that he was able to push the buttons in the dark...and his room lit up!!

Thanks again FOR EVERYTHING...To my Friends and Family who came to celebrate My Terrible 2...LOL!! The saying, 'you are acting like a 2 year old', is more of a literal term now!! I really cannot believe how big Jake is getting, How smart he is getting. I love him so much, and he has become such a good Big Brother. He has such a big heart, and Loves his Family!! Thanks Jake for such a GREAT 2 YEARS!!
