Okay, so it's been awhile...I have been up with Porter since 4:30am so I hope all this makes sense. Isn't spring supposed to come in March? Well, I guess that doesn't apply to Montana. We seem to only have 2 seasons here, Winter and Summer. This week it has been SO VERY COLD!! Our highs have been in the teens and with the wind chill, 3-15 below zero. Why does that degree even exist? I was looking forward to getting our yard started this month and getting our swingset up....haha!!
We had family portraits done last week and I got the proofs back yesterday. They turned out SO good of the kids...can't say so much for the family pictures but the kids ones are awesome. The photographer was so great and actually reasonably priced too. I was glad that we can actually afford to get an 8x10 of the kids (only $8.25). I really miss Kiddie Kandids, but this was good.
DJ is doing great in school, we have been working with him at home reading and he is really starting to take off. He is loving to read to Morgan at night, which seems to boost his excitement to read, which I am VERY glad. He still seems to be struggling in spelling but we are working on it...I hate to push him too much since he spends 6 hours a day at school. His teacher assures me that he will get it, it just takes time....haha....I am not the most patient person. So I have decided to just let it go and relax a little. (I hope I can).
Morgan is such a little turkey. She is so very protective of Porter, it's driving me nuts. We went to the doctor today for Porter and she just started shaking and crying when he was trying to check Porters ears. My drama queen. She held his hand and was trying to tell him that it was okay, but you couldn't quite get the feeling that she thought he was going to be okay. We started our first Gymnastics class last week and she is doing great. She goes all by herself just like a big girl, and constantly checking to see is mom is still on the sidelines watching. I am so proud of her, and she loves it. We also got into the preschool that we were hoping for. So she will start at the Our Redeemers preschool in the fall attending 2 days a week for 2 1/2 hours. She is SO excited and she gets to go with her friend Ryan. She is also trying to teach Porter to go up and down the stairs so mom doesn't have to buy another couple of gates and is doing great with him. He has mastered going up, it's going down that still makes me a little shakey. Morgan is Still not potty trained....oh...man, if she wasn't so cute when she tells me that she went "poopy" in her pants, I would be going crazy right now. Why is it so difficult?
Porter....well, were to start. He is now walking with his push walker and walking along furniture and like I said earlier is now going up the stairs and sometimes, when I am watching, will attempt to go down. He is doing very well. He also now says baba (bottle), which he shouldn't be having anymore, but since I have had no sleep lately, I am not even touching that subject. It is fun to have him start talking and be able to communicate a little with us. The funnest is to watch him "dance". He has picked up quite the rhythm. We have been having problems with him throwing up at night over the last 2 months. We had a blood test done to see if there were any allergies to be causing this....he is allergic to milk, but I wasn't sure that was the reason for his throwing up spuraticly, so this morning I went and got a second opinion, and he thinks that it's reflux so we put him on some medication and hopefully it will help. I pray it will help....changing sheets in the middle of the night is not fun and it makes his room stink...yuck. He is a healthly little boy at 21lbs 9oz and 30 1/2 inches long as of this morning. Our little tank.
I am still trying to get caught up in scrapbooking......I think this is going to be a repeated sentence.
Darron is off to Denver next week, the spring brings lots of travel for him every year. I think he looks forward to it so he can sleep without interuption and get at least some time to himself other than going to the gym.
We have our date night this weekend.....I am very excited.
