Where have I been!?!?
Sleeping?
Reading?
Playing with Gideon?
Decorating my classroom?
Feeling overwhelmed with my upcoming teaching year?
Running?
Pinterest?
T.V.?
Baby shower planning?
Running around doing errands?
Or all of the above?
If you picked all of the above you know how busy I have been! The sad thing is, I don't feel like I'm that busy, I just don't use my time as I should (I should be spending more time working on classroom stuff than on pinterest for example).
Gideon is doing very well. He had his 4 month check up about a week ago. He is 16 pounds, 24.25 inches, and his head has a circumference of 17.5 inches. He's very healthy!
He has found his feet, can roll (like across the room), doesn't talk as much, sometimes growls/grunts, eats more, stands with support, sits with support, laughs a little, gives kisses (all in my head), and likes having his teeth brushed (new development). He plays well on his own and can hardly sit still.
Jeremiah has about two more weeks of school left. He's going to a magic the gathering tournament this weekend. It will be strange being alone.
I am doing well. Just trying to get my life organized and school organized. But I can make it!
We had a great 4th of July. Had small group over to grill. Gideon slept through all of it - the night before we tried to watch, he freaked out and was hard to calm down... so we didn't even attempt it. the neighbors booms were too loud.
Even longer ago we had my grandfather's 80th surprise birthday party (the same day as Michelle's baby shower, Rebecca has those pictures).
Grandpa and his cake!
Gideon was interested in the cake, grandpa actually stuck his nose in it! He smiled, so we then put icing on Grandpas nose! Too cute!
My great Aunt Sherry could not wait to see him. So she snuggled as much as possible.
This group of beautiful kiddos go to my Grandparents church. Their 7th sibling was only a week or so old! All under 8 or 9!
Gideon got to first encounter balloons. He really enjoyed them and played with them for days after (until I was afraid he was going to pop them in his mouth).
All smiles!
Our family! Four generations!
Please continue to pray for my Grandma (pictured above in the pink, but not my mom holding Gideon) she is battling cancer and is currently going through chemo and radiation treatments. Also be with my mom as she helps out her family and prepares to take care of our kiddo. I know that I'm stressed and hope I'm not stressing her out. She is currently helping with the Lion's international camp (and next week will be hosting two girls for a week). We are just very busy and need to keep positive!
Everyone have a great weekend!
