Craig is now 29! So I don't feel quite as old as I did for the month that he was 28 and I am 30:0) We are having Beef Wellington for dinner, yummm!! Hopefully Reagan will be sleeping or content in her bouncy seat so we can eat together. She did yesterday and it was our first meal together in weeks!
Here is the news with us:
Katya is doing great without her morning bottle. She only asked for it one morning. She is such a big girl! I have to say that I am glad we did not push getting rid of the bink or bottle earlier; no reason to rush my baby to grow up:0)
Katya is wanting me over Craig big time. I feel bad for him but he says it does not bother him. She runs to me and says "mama, mama. up." when he gets home from work. She wants me to do everything for her, but she doesn't freak out the whole time if Craig is putting her to bed without me. I think this new development is a result of the new baby taking up some of my time.
Reagan really does best if her naps are not interrupted with outings. She continues to go down sleepy but awake during the day. She still doesn't like to be put down in the evenings and usually won't stay down (we make several attempts) until about 10-11pm.
Reagan is smiling a ton when she is awake and well rested (about 3 or 4 times/24hr). Her smiles are so cute! She does this gaping mouth smile with her tongue poking out. I have gotten a few pics but it is hard because to get her to smile I have to get in her face and can't aim the camera. I have tried to get a video of it but not having much luck. I need to get Craig's help with this.
Reagan still only lasts 15-30mins of being awake and happy before telling us she is ready to be soothed and back to bed.
Craig is doing great in his new job and is finally getting Sundays off from the Gausthus again (starting this Sun). We have a few vacations/excuses for him to take time off work this summer. First is Lexi's graduation in a few weeks; then he gets 3 or 4 days off over 4th of July weekend (we are going camping); he is doing a team relay race (running) the last weekend in July and then taking the next Sat/Sun off to celebrate Katya's b-day (not sure what we are doing for that yet).
Despite being tired I am loving life with my two girls. Some days are better than others of course, but I am taking the tantrums in stride and enjoying Katya's age more than ever. I am also eating up all the snuggle time with Reagan since I know how fast the first year goes. They don't stay babies for long, which is a plus for some parents but not me. I love the baby stage!
Yesterday we had a freak severe thunder storm in Portland. There was even a brief tornado warning and several trees did come down around the metro area during the storm. It was not too bad in our part of town. Katya did not even notice the thunder and it was short lived. That's about it!
