Water Park Fun

Brenden, CJ and Kaiden got to spend the night at a hotel near us that has an indoor water park! They had a blast. Here are a few pictures from their water adventure.

Playtime!

My brothers are actually napping

and I got to play with mommy!

Cody - 1 Month

1 Month

8 lbs 11 oz

21 inches

Today was Cody's 1 month week check up and he is doing well. It may not seem as though he is gaining weight but trust me he is! Cody was 7 lbs 11 oz when he was born, left the hospital at 7 lbs 4 oz and went down to 6 lbs 12 oz the following week so he is gaining now as he should! Cody is still nursing but gets formula each day because mommy can't seem to make all that Cody wants to eat. He has had some tummy issues with gas so he is now drinking soy formula along with breast milk to help him feel better.

Over the last week or so Cody has been having issue spitting up and it turns out that he has acid reflux just like his brothers did. That is mostly likely the reason he is not sleeping well at night so we are trying some over the counter medicine along with propping his bed up a bit and hoping it works. If he is not feeling better next week he will get some prescription medicine to help.

Cody loves to cuddle and loves attention. He is starting to stay awake more (if only he would realize that 3 am is not a good time!) and he a big fan of the swing. He enjoys when his big brother Brenden gets to feed him and gets a little nervous when Kaiden try to help (so does mommy!).

I can't believe it has been a month already, time flies....when can I sleep again?!?

CJ's 1st Day of School Alone!

Today was CJ's first day of preschool alone! I wasn't worried about them being upset and I was right - barely a kiss and off he went! The only thing he was concerned about this morning was what he would put in his backpack......

CJ's 1st Day of School

Today was CJ's 1st day of "real preschool" as he says!

For a little over a year CJ attended his "Army School" - as he called it, which was daycare/preschool on Selfridge ANG Base but he insists that this is real school now and that wasn't.

Papa asked him if he is going to learn at this school instead of just playing like at army school. CJ told him that he learns first and then gets to play!

CJ will go to school Tuesdays and Thursday for the afternoon. His teachers are Ms. Janice and Ms. Wendy and they seem very nice. Today mommy got to go with him and check things out. They got to see the class room and the playground and even got to do a project - CJ made a great parrot! Thursday will be his first day on his own and is excited to have mommy leave. He informed me that I do not need to stay! I am sure he will do fine - he is a pro at this "school" thing and is already talking about next year and being able to stay ALL day and eat lunch at Kindergarten.

Happy Birthday Grammy

Today was Grammy's birthday so the boys decided that I needed to make Grammy a cheesecake. We forgot the candles so we had to pretend!

Brenden's 1st Day Of School

Today was Brenden's first day of 2nd grade! We all walked to school to drop him off and walked back again at the end of the day to pick him up. He said that it was "kinda fun" but that he was a little sad. He already knows his teacher from last year, he was sent to 2nd grade last year for reading a few days a week so that helps him feel comfortable. We attended open house this evening and met his teacher and got to see his desk which he says is messy already! It sounds like he will have a busy year of learning!
