Okay, so I really stink at blogging or journaling!! I did find a really cool pin on pinterest to make a perpetual journal for myself. Basically, every night, I write down something on a notecard with the year in front of what I write. Each date of the year has its own notecard. Then, as each year goes by, you can see what you've been up to! Very easy to keep up with since its sitting on my nightstand! But, there just isn't room to write something on each card about each kid, myself, Jesse, and anything else going on in our lives. So, back to the computer I think! I was looking through documents on the laptop and found the printouts from the website/blog I had started when I was pregnant with Jenna and I believe with Nolan. I wrote on there until Nolan was about 12 weeks old! Here goes...again!
Today I went back to work after having two weeks off for Christmas. I ended up only staying the morning and coming home to switch with Jesse to take care of Ellie. She finally got the cold and cough that Jenna and Nolan had all during break. Poor thing, can hardly breathe she's super stuffy and runny nose all at the same time. And a terrible, congested cough. Jesse took Nolan and Jenna to daycare and stayed home with her. She seems to be getting a little better, but we have her 6-month check up on Friday, so if not by then the doctor can help. Little Miss Ellie is getting so big! She's sitting up so tall now, although we still put the boppy or pillows behind her to catch her if she falls. After dinner, we came downstairs to play the wii and Ellie had fun just watching Nolan and Jenna! She also played a funny game with me, looking at me and then turning away and then back again when I made a funny sound. So cute! Yesterday, she started making the 'b' sound....so excited to hear her start to 'talk'!!
Yesterday while I was cleaning the living room to vacuum, Jenna and Nolan were at the computer in the kitchen watching the Disney channel online. Nolan walks in to the living room with scissors and tells me he cut his hair! Oh jeez! I walked to the chair he was sitting on and saw a dusting of hair all over. He pretty much got one side of his bangs. He needs a haircut anyway, but, now he really does!! Tonight, I put him to bed and got the giggles...he though that was really funny and joined in with me :). Love that boy!
Jenna is getting soo big! Hard to believe that she'll be going to kindergarten this fall! As we were reading books together at bedtime, she seemed to be 'reading' different words in an Eric Carle book. You see the word at the top in lower case letters and then search for the picture and word in upper case letters on the bottom. Neither Jesse nor I had read the book with her for a while, so either she has an awesome memory (we know she does!) or is really starting to recognize words and sound them out! It's exciting to see this new skill emerge in her.
