I guess I really suck at updating. Ever since I was laid off I like actually have to do stuff...like take care of my kids and clean my house.

Chloe: She is sitting up, pulling up, crawling, *talking*, fat, and definitely sassy. She is happy most of the time. She sleeps through the night...most of the time. The last time she was weighed she was 21.4lbs (100%) & 27 1/4 inches (80%). She found Gage's room so she goes in there to find new toys to play with. I started her on solids about a month back. I made her sweet potatoes, peas & avacados. She loves both. No teeth yet, but Gage didn't get any until 9.5 months so it might be a while before she does too.

Gage: He is a mess. He is stubburn, smart, talks all the time & can find his way any time he wants. I attempted potty training a few times, but he just isn't interested. I am hoping he will soon. I hate changing his poopy diapers. Bleh. He loves to swim and has gotten pretty good at it with floaties on. He loves Cars, the movie, and Kung Fu Panda. He found some figurines at my SIL's house and she let him have them. Gage had his first trip to Urgent Care. We installed new flooring and while at the store he ran off. Something fell on the corner of his face and he got 3 stitches. It's left a scar. He wasn't supposed to be with us, but I wont go into detail about that.

Me: I am okay. Up and down. Lonely a lot. My car has no A/C so it's hard to get out in the middle of the week when AJ has his car. He does powerball at lunch so he needs his car to take it with him. He rides his bike on M & F so I can do stuff if I need to those days.

We are going on vacation soon. CAN'T COME SOON ENOUGH. It will be fun. We are staying outside of Branson.

I will post a few pics! Enjoy:

The Blue Bonnett pics were taken by my friend Stefani. www.stefanimarcusphotography.com. If you are in DFW you should check her out. Good prices and will travel to most places around DFW.

Well another month has gone by. I suck at updating this. AJ had his birthday on the 22nd and we had our 3rd anniversary on the 17th. We didn't do much for either. I did get him a digital photoframe for his birthday so he could have it for work. He liked it.

Let's see. Chloe was finally rolling everywhere. She started a bit ago and loves to roll to her belly then push her body forward with her legs. Speaking of her legs, the are still so FAT! She had her 4 month check up (one month late) and she was 18.4lbs, 25 1/4 in long, and her head is 42 cm. 55% for length and head and 100% for her weight. Gotta love that breastmilk! She is getting a really cute personality. Very happy and easy going. She wakes about once or twice a night. She actually sleeps in her bed. Something Gage would NEVER do until he was at least a year. AJ is happy she is not cosleeping like Gage did. I do get her and bring her to bed about 4-5 and snuggle. So I still get my snuggle time with her.

Gage is becoming very head strong. He is a very smart boy, and that makes for a determined little boy. He throws a fit any time we go to the store because I wont let him run. If I did, I'd loose him and have a huge meltdown because I can't find him. He thinks it's a game. I sling Chloe or else I would never be able to keep up with him. So these days I just stay close to home. He is funny, he told me the other day when I had just gotten out of the shower that I "was going to poop on the floor". I said "Why? Because I don't have underwear on?" Uh huh! He came up to me and told me I was his friend and hugged me. Cute. After a meltdown he'll say "I not crying anymore mama." A couple weeks ago I told him if he was good at Target I'd let him go to the playground. Well he wasn't good, so I told him he "lost his privilage". The next day he was good at the store or where ever we went and I said "You were so good Gage. You were being a big boy." he answered "I not loose my pivlage. I wanna go playground!" LOL.

I am doing pretty good myself. Just doing the SAHM thing for now still. I have my ups and downs. I go to my SIL's house on Friday's and he loves it. He gets to play with his cousins and I get to do crafts. We are going to be in a craft fair this Saturday so we are making things for that.

One AWESOME thing I get to do tomorrow is see BRITNEY SPEARS IN CONCERT!! I am so excited I can barely stand it. I have loved Britney since she came out. Should be really fun!! Me and my friend are going!!!

Well here are some pics for ya:

Half way through February...

Well let's see. Things are going SO much better. I have the kids with me now, and have for almost 2 weeks. Gage is doing really well with me being home. He is a funny little guy. We are kind of in a routine and he is overall pretty good.

He is really into "matching" things. Everything that matching he just gets so excited about. There were two little hispanic boys that looked similar in age and had similar shirts on and he goes "mama, mama, two, two, they match, they match!". I'll read a book and he'll say "I gotta go get something." He'll go get another book with something that matches and scream "it matches". He went around Subway today telling the colors of each chair. He is so funny.

Little miss Chloe is laughing and smiling all the time. She is starting to get a personality. Things have to be just so, and if they aren't she'll tell ya. She is almost 16lbs right now. I love it. She is full of Chub. I'll attach some pictures below.

Sigh

Well things have not gone so well since being laid off. I don't know up from down, left from right. Nothing seems to be going right.

Babies are doing good though.

Chloe is 14.4lbs and 23 3/4 in long. She smiles all the time. She was trying to roll from her back to her front last night.

Mr. Gage is sick today, so he got to stay with mommy today. I had to keep the kids in daycare for 2 weeks since she requires a 2 week notice.

I got laid off today. I saw it coming. Oh well. I think this will actually be a good thing. We'll see what comes of it.

Monthly Update...so it seems

Little miss Chloe is getting so big. She has tons of fat rolls and definitely not skipped a meal. :) She has her 2 month check up (one month late) this week. So we'll see how much she weighs! She has some seriously pretty blue eyes. I'm wondering if they'll stay that way. I hope they do.





Gage has become such a nut. He is getting into EVERYTHING. I found him on top of the dryer getting his fruit snacks from the shelf. Then I found him climbing on the dresser trying to get candy. He is a very determined little boy. He says the funniest things. AJ will say "How 'bout, no!" and so something Gage will answer us with "how 'bout, no!" He also says lately "I stay home" when he doesn't want to go anywhere. Or if he doesn't want to eat something he'll say "Makes my face break out." He is such a nut.



Christmas was good. We got a lot of fun stuff. My dad got me the Wii Fit and I love it. AJ got something for our computer, a hard drive or something. He's been building and fixing computers again for extra money.

My younger sister moved about 15 minutes away and it's been fun since we can hang out much more often.

My birthday was last weekend and I turned 27! Ah only 3 years until I'm 30!! Weird!

Well I need to run. Have a nice week everyone!

Back to Work

I don't really update this much because as far I know only one person reads this. LOL. So if there are more, sorry for the lack of posts.

I am back to work now. I started yesterday. It's been fine, I guess. Leaving Chloe is weird. I am used to having her right there with me. I miss it too. Back to pumping three times a day. Fun times. I did enjoy my time off. I spent time with my sister and her baby.

We went to Disney on Ice back at the end of November. Gage LOVED it. He thought it was a cartoon. I had to bring Chloe because of some drama with my mom. She was supposed to watch her but she didn't show up. Nice, right?

We are going to my dad's house for Christmas. I'm excited. Everyone will be there.

Anywho, time to go home for the day.
