Katie & Nadine in 2014: Week 47

Day 323
 
Poor Baby was sick all day and had a fever from his shots the previous day. All he wanted to do is sleep and cuddle (I secretly enjoyed the cuddling part, even though I felt so bad for him), so Grandma Sandie sent him a video of herself singing to him. He LOVED it! It was the first time that day we saw his little smile and now, over a week later, he still loves the video. It's our "go to" for long car rides when he gets mad, every time we play this video he lights up and gives us his biggest smile. Such a special video!

 Day 324
 
Our friend Julia who used to live with us, came to visit from Germany and we had dinner with her and some friends at the Cheesecake Factory. It was so good to see her and we hope that it won't be another 3 years until she'll be back!

Day 325
 
Renovations continue....we're making progress. Here's your first sneak peak of the new tile!

Day 326
 
Ashlie babysat for us and Katie and I snuck out for a little date. It was nice to actually chew my food before swallowing it, and to not have to hold a baby during a meal, but we were also glad to come back to our boy after a few hours away.

Day 327
 
First day eating solids. We started with oatmeal, which he didn't hate (or particularly liked), but he got a rash from it right away. You can see his red cheeks in the picture and he also had it on his arms, so we stopped after that first day to let it clear up and decided to try something else a few days later. 

Day 328
 
Let's hope this gets wrapped up soon, because I'm eager to decorate for Christmas! 

Day 329
 Eeks...the demolition of the fireplace has started!

    Does the cereal come with formula already mixed in? Ours does and I just prepare it with water, maybe if yours does, could it be a slight dairy intolerance(since he hasn't had formula before?)

    My friend's baby had a rash when he was a baby and his mum nursed him exclusively, she ended up having to leave dairy out of her own diet and his rash got a lot better.

      Thanks for the suggestion, but I just mixed dry cereal with breastmilk. We also tried green beans and sweet potato since and he just hates it. I hope he'll like it eventually!

August iPhone dump

A few of my favorite moments from August! Meet the teacher for the boys! I received this picture from Katie's wife, such a sweet bond they have. I'm also loving how his pajamas are inside out...haha. Walter came back to spend a few days with us! We watched him last summer, and the boys kept talking about him, so we were all so excited when his mom asked us to watch him for a few days. Notice Finn pouting. He was upset that Walter "only pays attention to Fox". So many big emotions in such a tiny body. Mr. Cool Guy at his dentist check up and teeth cleaning! I was trying to get some work done in my office, but this guy needed some attention. Finn made a bed for them, so they could sleep together. In the end, no one wanted to sleep there, but he was so happy to cuddle with Walter for a bit. My friend got me some comedy tickets to see "Nurse John", so I invited my two besties, and two of my old classmates, and we had a blast, he was so funny. We even got VIP acc...

First day of school

This year I have a first and a fifth grader! Aww, he was so tiny in the first picture in Pre-K! Last year of elementary school for this big kid, and Mama is not ready for middle school next year. The boys had a great start to their school year, still taking the bus every day, and while no one is a fan of going to school around here, they seem to like their teachers and classes so far. I'm glad to be getting back to more of a routine for them (and me), because let me just tell you...summer was rough! Haha.

January iPhone dump

A quick look at our January! Nursing Level 2 unlocked...after getting a heated vest, I now also have my personal space heater at work. No one warned me how cold hospitals are...haha! We watched our friend's dog for a few days and Mr. Finn was in heaven. He wouldn't let go of poor Nugget and always wanted him to be right with him. His eyes say "Save me!!!" Cherishing the times that he will cuddle with me. I know I don't have much time left, and that makes me really sad. Self-care...reading a book in our hammock while the kids were playing nicely together. Another downfall of them growing up, is that we now have to order adult meals at the restaurant. I might have to get another job in order to afford these two...haha.  Katie sent me this picture of Finn sleeping with their dog one night.  Sweet things my co-worker leaves for me when I was sick at work...she made me a to-go tissue packet because the box I kept carrying around kept falling out of my fanny pack that I...
