Holy Moly-8 months old - ALREADY! :( Time flies when your having fun. Let's see, still no signing, but we are working on it all the time. I added "fish" into the list of signs since their Nemo bathroom has a lot of fish in it. Our ritual after bath time is to show him all the fish on the wall and sign fish, so well see if that will be his first sign. Let's see- Janson is still eating like a horse, makes that YUM sound with every bite (its adorable- it almost sounds like he is savouring each bite)- lol, he is sleeping very well through the night. Going to bed around 8pm ish and getting up around 8am ish after he plays in his crib for a while. The last couple of nights I have been able to just lay him down in his crib, still awake, (after bath and dinner time of course) and turn on his rainforest mobile and he goes right to sleep by himself- no crying at all. He's such a great baby. He's finally getting to an age where Kelson can play with him instead of just fetch things for him :) She's really enjoying being a big sister and is VERY good at it. No jealously EVER from her- she only wants to love on him and play. The age difference has been wonderful. Janson has been doing this "king kong" move as Jason calls it where he beats on his chest- its hilarious. I don't want to forget any of these moments. We watched home videos of Kelson around 1 and I had forgotten so many things that she used to do, so we are trying to write down everything and capture it on video. Jumperoo is still a huge hit. Memere Lucy has taught him to turn his head to the side- its adorable- almost like he's shy. She would do it to him and he mocks her. Its adorable. Janson has been such a wonderful addition to our family, I just can't wait to capture so many more memories of him.
Well I finally registered Kelson for her 5th bday party at Chuck E Cheese this year. She is very excited about the ticket blaster and seeing all her kids. A/C and the staff doing all the work- I'm excited about that. August is just too hot for an outdoor party. I think this year she will get "BRAVE" stuff- new Pixar movie that the family went and saw a few weeks ago. Its very cute and now Kelson wants a bow and arrow :) Can't believe my baby girl is going to be 5 :(
Kelson leaves with Nin and George on Sunday to go to FL for a week. My family is SUPER excited to have her to themselves for a week and I know she is excited about going to stay with her cousins. She has been a little hesitate to go since we aren't going, but I think with all the "fun stuff" I mentioned that she would be doing, that I have convinced her to go. She tends to want her mommy and daddy at night, so I'm hoping she will be ok and were only a skype or phone call away. I'm gonna miss my little girl, but she will have a great time and I don't have to worry about her at all.
Kelson starts Kindergarten in August at Asbury- we decided to keep her there for another year since we love them and the schedule is so nice (9am-1pm M-F). I told Kelson that when mommy has to go to work, she has to go to school, but that we are both off together on the weekends, so she liked that. I think she misses being at school. I try to keep her on her toes by doing her workbook, but she has got all that nailed down. I'm thinking of signing her up for dance this fall. She is gonna get a free year at the little gym cause Jason is playing at their street festival again- yea- that's like $600 worth of free classes :) Also considering starting piano- got lots planned for that little one. She loved playing tball this spring, so we will definetly do that again next year. YEA!!! So me- well we have been doing this biggest loser competition since April 30th- I'm down 13lbs and 3% body fat, but that last two weeks I've been REALLY trying hard- working out every day and eating under 1200 calories. I've been maintaining my weight at 189 and its VERY frustrating because I've picked up the pace yet still haven't lost. All the girls tell me to stay off the scale and focus on inches, but the problem is, inches doesn't win the competition :( It ends July 23rd and first place gets $650. I'm really trying hard to win that money and the title! Jason is in it too, but hasn't really motivated himself to pick up the exercise- he is eating right so that make a difference and has lost, so I guess that's a good thing. I'm really trying to get back to where I was before I had Kelson- or at least in the 170's. I think if I stay with the way I'm going I"ll be just fine, it will just take some time. Wish me luck-- I'll let you know how it goes.
