March Madness

Well, it feels like Spring is really here, even though our winter was very mild. The birds are out and I've started gardening.

Bridget is growing so fast! She is in the 97% for weight and the 70% for height. She grew almost 3 inches! She went from the 50% to the 97% in weight, so she is eating well! She is starting to coo and smile a whole bunch.

Jack is having some major issues with sleeping, but the pediatrician said its normal for his age and it will pass. G-d I hope so, Bridget is sleeping better than he is right now!

Jack is really starting to talk, the other day he said" want french fries" and told me he wanted a hot dog for lunch! Granted he calls it a "hot gog" but I'm not being picky right now!

He is starting to repeat anything you say, so we have a curse jar, where anytime one of us swears we have to put a quarter in the jar. He should be set for college with our potty mouths! I'm starting to read up on potty training and I'm scared out of my mind! He's not quite ready yet, but I have a little potty ready for him. Yesterday was a breakthrough with Jack, he went all day and night with no bottle! And never cried for it. I'm hoping this is permanent.

John has Spring Break next week, so I'm looking forward to having him home. My Valentines day gift from him, was a day without the kids, so I may take him up on that next week. I may take an Ambien and just sleep!

I've been bringing Jack to this program at the Temple called Tot Shabbot. Its a little Shabbot service for children under 5. Its only 15 mins or so and the Rabbi plays the guitar and all the children dance and sing. He loves it. The only problem is , its right around when he is winding down for the day, so getting him to sleep is a challenge afterwards!

I'm thinking of doing a yard sale this weekend, so that's my project for the week!

March is here!

I cannot believe that it is March already...I have 2 and 1/2 months before my baby boy turns 2!!!! Jack is doing so great...he is learning a new word everyday and using them constantly. He is really starting to communicate with us now. He does have his funny way of saying some things though. For example, a triangle is a "triandle" and a square is a "quare"! He is so much fun. He gets so goofy sometimes and just makes me laugh. Bridget is really starting to develop. She is tracking things now with her eyes and trying to touch things in front of her face. She also smiles at you now! I actually caught a smile on camera...they are like whale sightings...they come and go so fast! The other day Dan said that Bridget is really turning into an infant and is no longer a newborn, and made me so sad! Now I know why people just keep having kids! Its hard to believe she is only 9 weeks old.

John is directing the school play this week, so things have been crazy at work for him, but tonight he is at a hockey game relaxing!

I went to a consignment sale this morning and got such good deals! That was the highlight of my day, and really I was excited!

Here is a video of Bridget playing with her play gym and some current pictures of the kids! One is of the first picture of Bridget smiling and the other is Jack playing with his friend Benjamin.
