whew - i know it's been forever since i've posted here but now it's CHRISTMAS VACATION!!!!!!
2 whole weeks of staying home with the kiddos, and preparing for the insanity that is the christmas holiday.
so, just to hit on some of the hot topics that i've read about in this thread ately....
diapers - luke's been in size 4 since he was about 5 months old. thankfully, he & jaina have been the same size forever now :oops: but i've been buying his (generic) diapers at bj's since i can get more for the money.
naps - luke goes down about 2-2.5 hrs after he wakes up in the morning, and i've been trying to limit him to no more than 1:15. usually he goes down about 9-9:30. then he goes down for his afternoon nap anywhere between 2-3pm, depending on when he got up from his morning nap. this nap runs closer to 2 hours.
tantrums - luke yells when people walk away from him. he hates that he can't follow yet. crazy boy is getting closer everyday, but still can't exactly crawl, so he takes it personally when he can't keep up.
dh - his name is John. i realize we're giving luke a complex (john, jaime, jaina...) but there were no boy "J" names that we could agree on. hadn't really planned on giving the kids J names, but when we found out jaina was a girl, it was the only name we had (since i was sure she was a boy!).
winddown - don't really have much of one anymore. diaper change if needed, and then dim the lights, turn on the white noise, a quick hug, and into bed.
flat head - well, i can still see it :oops: but i think his head is rounding out more and more, and john says he can't tell. and his hair mostly covers it.
bottles - all of a sudden luke seems to have gone to 3/day :shock: . started friday night when the sitter never gave him his before bed bottle & he slept all night anyway. then yesterday he skipped his before lunch bottle and seemed okay with it. i'm going to see if he'll keep rolling with it.
finger foods - luke is fantastic with them, and now it's just a matter of convincing him that he likes to eat veggies, and not just cereal all the time :lol:
happy jaime news - posted on the news board but i have almost completely dropped to my pre-jaina size! i actually bought a pair of size 12 jeans and they look great. a few of my old pairs of pants fit, but i still have too much saggy skin around my tummy for most of them to be comfy. :oops: but i'm so happy - it's been 3 years since i've seen that corner of my closet!
have a great week everyone!
