A Rough Week

I have been a horrible blogger lately!! I have been really struggling this week. Both of my kids are sick. I feel bad seeing them this way. Sammy first started out with just a cough that is now a full blown cold. Levi is a little worse. He caught the cold too and is getting over a yeast infection. I have been taking some antibiotics and he got it thru my milk. Onto other news he no longer wants to nurse!! I would be lying if I said I wasn't sad. I am taking it really hard. I was just not ready for him to just be done. I guess nursing my baby was something really special to me. The bond you have with your baby is like no other!!! Now I just have to find a new way to bond with him. I figured we still had a few months left :( The good news is that he seems much happier (he stopped nursing for almost two days before he started formula.) He drank a bottle last night and slept all the way thru the night. So hopefully things will all work out and I won't get an infection or too engorged!! Wish me luck!! Here are some super cute pictures of the little monkey!! Sammy still never wants his picture taken!!

Sammy and His Love of Cars

Everytime we get in the car this is what Sammy tells me!!! Everyday!! But the list is longer. He's so cute. He is starting speech tomorrow and I am really excited to see what she thinks about him. I think he is doing a great job!!!

Nine Months Old

Levi is nine months old!!! He is getting so mobile...crawling around like a mad man...cruising along the furniture...standing up in the shopping carts and his high chair. Today he was buckled into the cart but still managed to flip himself into the basket part so then I end up carrying him. My arm is so sore!!! Better watch out I'm going to have ONE huge bicep...I can't carry him on my right side...lol. Levi has been having a bit of a rough time these days...he has separation anxiety so he won't stay in the nursery at church and only wants mommy. The gym is still okay but I think that is because Sammy is with him. He is also teething major. He finally got his other bottom tooth and one of his top ones...the other top one is almost in. Hopefully that will make him a little happier. So I will say he has 3.75 teeth.
Some of his favorite things are:
-Playing with Sammy and his toys...he loves the Dodge Viper
-Giving kisses to only Chris...he just hits me in the face :(
-Eating!!! He likes Mum Mums, yogurt, cheese, toast, cheerios, goldfish
-Getting into everything he is not supposed to


He had his checkup and he is 20.6 lbs and 28 inches long

Sammy was 20.8 lbs and 28 1/4 inches

That means that Levi is finally a tiny bit smaller than Sammy. He only gained one pound in the last three months but I am not worried...he eats like crazy...he must burn a lot of calories with how fast he crawls!!!

Five Year Anniversary

Last Friday Chris and I celebrated our five year anniversary!!! We didn't do too much..we were just happy to be together. I made him salsa and he made me french onion soup. Oh and we went to Dairy Queen...how boring are we!!!
