My little man is 101 days old today!
Today I went walking again. I went Monday and flaked out on Tuesday (rain) and Wednesday (DD needing to cuddle) but made up for it today and walked for over an hour. It was nice to get out and the sun was out today too! That always makes it so much nicer!
DH's taking a test for the National Guard. I think our choices are for him to get a job through them (in July when they are hiring again) or go back to school to be a paramedic/firefighter. School would require a move down south about an hour or so. The Guard if he got in the position he wants would require him to be gone for 30 weeks straight. Both are tough choices but there doesn't seem to be much else out there.
DD helped me weed outside this morning. It was so cute to see her go and pull things out of the grown (thank goodness she stayed away from the flowers) and put them in the garbage bucket I was using. She also figured out how to climb down the railroad ties that are on the embankment to the downstairs window. I'm not pleased about that because it's so steep and dangerous.
Her cough just woke her up after only an hour of sleep so I better go and see if I can get her to sleep again. I hate that she's so sick. Her poor nose is running like a faucet too but DH noticed yesterday that all four of her canine teeth have finally come in. I noticed the bottom ones poking through weeks ago but the top ones are almost fully in especially the one on her right side. The bottom ones are in more now too. Now all we are waiting for are her 2 year-old molars. I hoping the teeth are the cause to the runny nose but DH thinks she really does have a cold which I would contribute to the air plane ride.
DH got home in time for dinner from taking his test. He needed a 50% to pass and 70% to be a paramedic. He had scored about 75% on his two short practice tests and one long test last night but wanted to do better. He went to boarders and looked at the "for dummies" book they have for the test. He helped him with all the formulas for the math section and he told me he scored a 96% on his test!!! The recruit was so excited for him. He's only had one other person score well on the test in his 4 years and that person scored a 98%. He told DH that he could do ANYTHING he wanted as long as there was an opening in that area. They are meeting next week about all of his options now. I just pray that he meets the health check since he had a bulged disc in his neck from his second accident. I hope it's better now but he has to get it looked at again. It's all very exciting though and I'm so proud of my man!
LM was sitting up so well today. He still is slumping over but he's trying. DH was able to hold him on his hand in the air without back support for a long time and LM was just giggling away. DD had to have a turn too and DH said she was A LOT heavier than her brother. She's now 26lbs at her last appointment. DD is also repeating so many words finally! She even said "blow" all by herself today when DH got her more food and forgot to blow it off. I didn't even know she knew that one. She also repeated her name for the first time today and was so pleased with how happy we were for her (Kala was how she pronounced it was it was so cute!)
LM didn't wake up at 9 for his last night feeding. I'm worried now that he will be up all night to nurse. YIKES. I need to get to bed but I have to get pictures ordered online for an all day scrapbooking party on Saturday. I'm so excited to get started on DD's baby album.
I find myself many time of the day with one kid on one side of my lap and the other kid on the other side. Thankfully this moment didn't involve tears from one of the children but a pleasant story time.
LM is trying to sit up and can for little burst by himself. He still loves to fold over. He's getting close though.
This is much better momma!
DD almost always has to test out what LM does. It's so cute. She even rocked around like she was off balance and fell back. What a ham!
