40 Weeks

Jamie is 40 weeks old today! What in the world is going on? 40 weeks!????!!!!

In 12 more weeks she will be 1 and that just blows my mind.

Here is my 40 week old being mischievous in the pantry.

"Is there anything to eat in here mom?"

They had a Big, Big Bugs exhibit at the Public Museum that we had to go see. I wasn't sure if Pete loved it or hated it. If he was a safe distance away, being held and didn't have his back to a bug he was fine. He has found a new passion for grasshoppers which is not so fun for me. Even the books we got from the library gross me out. It was a great deal. Admission to the museum, admission to the special bug exhibit, dinner in the cafe overlooking the Grand River, planetarium show, and unlimited rides on the carousel all for $10/adult. The kids were free. It was a really fun night, except for the headache I had, big ouch.

Pete did not like taking this picture. I told him to look at the camera. He was like "What? Are you kidding me? Take my eyes off this giant bug behind me!!!"

I wonder what Jamie was thinking.

Stuck

Today I saved Jamie 4 times. Two times from behind the couch, one time from behind the end table and one time from under a kitchen chair. This time I stopped and took a picture. She loves exploring but hates getting stuck.

Another Post About Poop

Pete is well on his way to being potty trained. Knock on wood but seriously, he is doing so well. It is 2pm and Pete has peed in the potty chair 5 times and pooped once. He has peed in his diaper once and on the floor, not at all! This is the third day in a row he has pooped in the toilet and for about a week now has peed in the potty more times than not. I am so proud of my boy.

Here is his first poop in the potty. I have spared you the picture that shows the terd.

Abby always joins us in the bathroom and she was there with us for the first poop.

Proud mama and her proud pooper.

I have never written poop so many times in my life.

Pacifier

The pacifier is still in use.

Pacifier

Jamie just turned 9 months. She has never taken a pacifier longer than a few chomps and it falls out. This week for some reason she has fallen in love with them. If she can find one it is in her mouth. Maybe she is teething, maybe her oral motor skills have improved and she finally figured it out. It's cute but I definitely don't want my baby getting addicted to a pacifier now this late in the game.

Gymboree

This is our second time to Gymboree. We get to go through West Michigan Parents Network and it is $5 per child for 45 minutes of play and parachute time. Normally it is $20 if you are not a member. Ridiculous huh? I signed Pete up and we went yesterday. The class started and Pete dove right in. I left Jamie in her car seat but saw the excitement in her eyes as she watched the other kids. I paid another $5 and let Jamie out. I don't know who enjoyed it more. If I had an extra $97.50 a month I would sign my kids up. They have unlimited classes now through August. Not only is it a place to learn but it is a great place for them to get energy out. Especially when the weather is not nice enough to be outside like it has been around here lately. The kids had a blast and I fully enjoyed watching them play, on their own and together. Here are some pictures.

My kids really liked it, can you tell?

My Humps

Ok, don't judge me. Don't judge me on the song, or the bad word it says in the lyrics. I made this CD before I had kids and forgot what was on it when I put it in yesterday morning. Pete found the music immediately dance-able so he got down. I got it on video, thank God. It has provided many laughs over the past 24 hours. These were all new moves we hadn't seen before. Hope he didn't learn those from me. Enjoy and turn your volume up, it makes the video even funnier.
