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.
