Last Thursday was also Luke's birthday so we stayed home and spoiled him rotten.
His birthday was wonderful, and it was extra special I think because we spent that day in the hospital last year. This year, everything just seemed so much better, I spent the day being grateful.
Today I took Marie for her first RSV shot of the season. She didn't cry but did scowl and have a brief "episode" when she got the shot. Within moments though she wanted to nurse and smiled and talked to me while she waited. Stinker. The big news from today though, is that Marie has finally broken 19 lbs! She is now 19lbs, 4 oz. I am so proud of her. For some reason, she gets enough to eat, but it has been a struggle for her to gain weight. I believe I actually screamed and jumped up and down when the scale flashed the number, I was that happy.
Josie cannot wait for Halloween and her very first classroom party. I am bringing some goodies for that, and she's just over the moon. It makes me glad that it takes so little to make her happy, she's going to be the most beautiful butterfly in the world. Marie will be a monster, and she'll be helping Dad pass out candy that night. If you want to see her in her tights and onesie head over to our house;)
Not much going on here, we're just doing good, and I'll take it:) I'm feeling grateful for a lot of things lately... This is not the most organized post, and it's time to begin the bath time marathon here, so I had better run! Wishing everyone a wonderful week!
Those are the pumpkins from our garden, Josie is incredibly proud that she and her Daddy grew those!
