This is my first blog on blogspot! Woopie! I missed bloggin'. But myspace is no place for blogging anymore so I decided to join up over here. Mostly I just want to ramble about my kids and life. I feel like I need to keep a diary of what they are up to. One thing I love about myspace is that I can go back and read old blogs I've written. However, they're all about my life before kids! I think I'd really enjoy going back to read things about my two munchkins... it's amazing how easily I've already forgotten some things about Grant when he was a baby! I don't want to do the same thing w/ Penny. So mostly I want to keep a journal of the goings-on with my bebe's.
So for my first installment I'll fill ya in! Grant is 2 and Penny is 4mo. Grant is a handful and talks so much these days! There's basically nothing he can't communicate to you. He is obsessed with his blanket, his teddy bear Big-O (short for big 'ol teddy bear) and a stuffed pumpkin that he calls 'Gourdon'. He must take all three items wherever he goes! Penny's baptism was Saturday evening and while in the car I realized we had left ALL THREE things at home. It was a rookie mom mistake! But we all survived. More about the baptism in a second! Penny is doing FAB. She's growing, growing, growing! She wears 6-12mo clothes already and weighed 16lbs at her last DR apt two weeks ago. She still spits up like she's bulemic but she's obviously keeping some of her formula down cause girl is filling out her jeans! :) But she's gorgeous and I still give those great big cheeks about a million kisses a day.
Penny was baptised on Saturday. The moment we walked into the church she was not a happy camper. I thought it was because she was hungry... it was right about time for another bottle... but even after I started feeding her bottle (as we walked down the aisle to our pew in the church) she was NOT having it. She proceeded to cry through the baptism ceremony. Grant was also upset! I think he was wanting to come stand with Joe, Penny, & I up at the 'font' and I had said a few nights pervious that he shouldn't. I was regretting that at that moment... there was no reason he couldn't stand up there w/ his family. IDK why but I wasn't expecting him to care. Anyway, Grant was crying and so was Penny. In fact at one point the pastor said something like "We welcome Penny into God's love" and Grant yelled "NO!!!" So I just started laughing b/c what else could I do? Eventually Penny calmed down once we went into the crying room and I just laid her down and left her alone.
Penny is also rolling over now. It's really awesome that she's started doing that while she sleeps too! (sarcasm). Her other fav thing to do while sleeping is hold a blanket over her face! Yeah, two of the biggest no-no's and she's doing them. So I got a bad nights sleep last night b/c I kept having to go check on her to make sure she wasn't on her tummy. (I took the blanket out so she couldn't hold it on her face). Oh I'll be glad when she gets older and I don't have to worry so much about what possition she sleeps in.
Today Grant is going to a pumpkin patch with his class at daycare. Joe & I have been trying to make a family trip to the Roca Berry Farm's pumpkin patch and hopefully we'll do that this week. I think Grant will really enjoy picking out a pumpkin this year b/c he 'gets' it.
I think that's all the information I feel like jotting down so I don't forget! haha. Or at least so I can be reminded someday when I look back at this blog. As far I go today I have big plans for working out and lifting weights. I saw a pic of myself at the baptism and boy were my arms flabby! I'm just all around feeling a little saggy so I hope to correct that "issue" STAT! That is all folks!
