Bumbo time

Abigail loves her bumbo. She will sit in it for 20 minutes at a time and play with her toys. She's even gotten to the point where she will reach to the side to get a toy if she's dropped it. She is also attempting to sit up when she's in her car seat and bouncy seat lately. She's almost rolled over a couple of times now too. If she could just figure out how to get that arm out of the way she would be over. She would probably get mad as tummy time is not her favorite.

The teachers at school tell me that she's developing quite the temper! Apparently she's been getting pretty worked up lately when she doesn't get her way. I can't say that it surprises me!

Sometimes big brother's need bumbo time too!
We didn't do anything exciting for the Fourth of July. We hung out at home all day and then watched fireworks in the evening. We attempted to go outside in the afternoon but just as we were heading out it started raining. Since Fort Hood is across the highway behind our house we got to see the fireworks show they put on! Abigail didn't get to bed before the fireworks started so she got to see the show too. She loved the fireworks. She watched them the whole time and even started cooing. Austin liked the show too but became bored after a while. Austin and Daddy were smart, they wore pants outside. I on the other hand, I had shorts on and received about 30 mosquito bites on my legs by the end of the night.

Austin transitioned to the preschool room at school a few weeks ago. Because he hasn't mastered the potty training thing he has to move back to his pre-toddler room. He continues to have accidents and is still pooping in his pants. We've come to the conclusion that he doesn't get the concept of having to go poop on the potty. Of course, that's something you can't teach him so we have to let it run it's own course and hope he gets the concept soon. It's so frustrating. It seems like all I'm doing is washing wet clothes each night. So because he's having accidents, it is pulling his teachers out of their ratio when they have to change him, which could potentially cause an issue should another child have an emergency. I don't think he was ready to transition in the first place, so hopefully this will work.

Hmmm...what else is going on? Things have been really busy at work. The days fly by because we've been short staffed and busy lately. I've come to the conclusion that it doesn't matter what my house looks like or if it's clean. I just don't have the time or the energy to do it all lately. Oh well, the kids are tucked in bed and it's time to make bottles. My little piggy has been drinking 12-15 ounces of milk and eating rice cereal the last few days at school. I'm so glad I decided to continue to breastfeeding after I went back to work. The breast pump I bought has already paid for itself. I do have to say that I'm going to be a little sad when I have to stop since Abigail is our last baby. Hopefully I can get Abigail to 12 months like I did Austin.

Hope everyone has a great week!
