Summer days driftin' away

So, I have been trying to do as many free activities as possible. Because if I am not entertained, I am spending money at the mall. This is a picture of me, Kali, Sara, and Jordin at a little play that the girls were in written by Mrs. Nancy. They did a great job.
This is a picture from the night we met parain out to eat pizza. It was Grant's first time ever sitting in a big boy high chair. :*)
This is Grant in his big boy outfit. I thought he looked so grown up in this. He's gonna be such a heartbreaker.
I found a ton of activities that the library puts on around town for free. This was one of them. We got to make puppets. The kids had fun and grant laughs and laughs at them!
Here is naked boy after I fed him the other night. He is eating so many veggies and loves them all!


This week has been crazy busy. Wednesday I went to a place called Little Gym with a friend for a little baby class. Grant had so much fun. I learned how to do some little flips with him and we sang and just had a good time. I can't wait until he is a little older to take him more often. I ordered my new camera lens... which I am super pumped about. It should be in soooon! Can't wait to take pictures of my patot! Yesterday mom and I had date night after I spent the entire day washing clothes at her house. We went for manis, pedis, and Joe's Crab shack. YUM! Then the dryer went out. Nick fixed it. A few days later, the washer broke! What are the odds? Then today we woke up to go buy new washer/dryers and the air wasn't working. Luckily, we have a seperate AC unit in the garages. Thank God for that. We ordered our new front loading washer.dryer that I am sooo excited about and the repairman fixed the AC in about 30 minutes. Good day.Tomorrow is Father's Day. I hope Nick has a good one. I baked a Watergate cake (pistachio). I can't wait to have a tiny piece. I hope he likes his gifts too. Speaking of which... I need to wrap before he gets home. Until next time......

Summmmmer

Warning: this is going to be a boring post. I don't really do much of anything besides take care of Grant and play on the computer most of every day. You would think I would blog more but I suck. I haven't blogged in about a month. I am so bad at keeping up. If only I were as addicted to blogging as I am facebook. :) So a few weeks ago we had Grant's little baptism. It was at the same church Nick and I got married in. Father Greg did an amazing job as usual! Grant didn't cry at all! After we all had a little get-together at our house. Everything was so pretty and the weather was perfect. I am so thankful for our family and friends who were able to make it. It was great!

I survived another year of teaching!! I must say this year was so much better than last year. I hope I have another good group of kids next year. I will say that I am going to miss this class so much. Maybe they took it easy on me since they knew I was pregnant. :) I am always nervous about the next year. They have laid off a bunch of people, moved some around and I never know which grade I will end up in. I am sooo hoping that it will be second. I am very comfortable where I am, I love my co-workers, and I love teaching second graders. We will see though, I guess only time will tell.

So far, I have seriously loooved being home with little man. I am enjoying summer more than I enjoyed being home when he was a newborn. He has such a little personality now! He smiles and laughs at me. I even love the little grunt noises he makes when he poops. It's hilarious! Of course I understand that I may be the only person who thinks this is hilarious but, anyway! Every time I speak he looks around the room for me. I can just tell he loves me as much as I love him and I am so thankful for him. He was made for me! :)

I am not good at time lines, and I don't feel like pulling out his baby book. But, here is a list of the things that he is now doing:
1. sitting all by himself.
2. grabbing toys
3. putting everything in his mouth and sucking on everything
4. eating rice, tried oatmeal (baaad experience), and tried sweet potatoes today. He didn't care for them but we will try again tomorrow.
5. He went swimming a few times now and seemed to like it.
6. I SWEAR it sounds like he says "mama" sometimes but usually when he is mad! :)

I can't believe he is getting so big. :( I guess all babies eventually grow in to men, but I just don't want him to grow sooo fast.

That's pretty much my life... Grant, Nick, Grant, Diabetes, Grant, etc... lol
My diabetes as been wreaking havoc on my stomach for the past week. It's pretty terrible but I am making it. I am still not totally comfortable with my carb counting. I have a long way to go but I am trying... most of the time. Except today I had a piece of chocolate cake and then had to take a lot of insulin after. oops. But everyday I think it gets easier. I knew it would but I guess it is like everything in life.... it takes time to adjust. I am currently looking at other doctors. I love the Baton Rouge Clinic but I am not loving my doctor. And if I need to see them as much as I do, I want to LOVE him/her. So I think I figured out who I will be switching to and I hope I like him.

Also, our dryer broke today. I would like to take this time out to brag on my husband. Although it is NOT fixed yet, making only one phone call to my wonderful father, he is well on his way to fixing it! He took it apart and knows whats wrong. Hopefully it will be fixed soon. I started a list of everything that needs fixin' around here:
1. dryer
2. light in the garage needs to be changed
3. stained concrete floors need to be re-sealed
4. flag on the mailbox broke off
5. exterminator needs to come
6. Grant's fan broke
7. we want to put in a new shower


Quite the honey-do list! lol I am sure that as the summer progresses I will be adding to the list.
