This and that

My friend, Michelle, FINALLY had her baby boy on February 27th. She was almost a week overdue and so ready to be able to hold him, as was I! We've been waiting on this baby for a long time. Now Makayla has a boyfriend...she doesn't mind that he's almost a year and a half younger! I went to visit Michelle and Tyler in the hospital the next day. I wasn't able to take Mak with me due to hospital policy, so she will get to meet him this weekend. Since Mike, Michelle's husband, went home to shower while I was there, I had the privilege of changing Tyler's diaper and clothes. I was a little nervous since it has been a while since I've changed a little baby, and the first time to change a boy's diaper, but I handled it!
Such a big boy! 9lbs, 2oz!

In other news, my sweet baby girl that used to love to sleep and would cry for us to put her in her bed, has decided that sleep isn't so important anymore! I put her in the bed and she cries and cries. I try to leave her, hoping she'll cry herself to sleep but no...she just cries louder. So, Mak and I have been sleeping on the couch this week which means I haven't been sleeping much. I don't know what's going on with her but I'm hoping and praying that it's just a phase and she'll be back to her normal sleep schedule very soon. Even though she keeps me up all night, I still think she is the sweetest little girl I've ever seen. She's growing up so fast and has the sweetest personality. She loves to hug her babies and give them sugar and it just melts my heart. One of her newest tricks is opening doors. She stands on her tip toes and pushes the handle. So now I have to really keep a close eye on her to make sure she's not playing somewhere she shouldn't be...like the toilet! I have found a few toys in there already.


I have officially begun the countdown to spring break. Just one more week and I have a whole week off of work. I really need it too because my third graders are driving me bonkers. I love my job and my kiddos but we all need a break! On the 13th, we are picking up my mom from the airport. We are so excited to have Nana come spend a few days with us! I'm sure we'll find lots of things to do and probably do a bit a shopping since that's what mom and I do best when we're together.

Well, I guess that's it for now.......until next time!! :)
