Hey everyone!!! Gosh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize it had been so long since posting. Life has just been crazy and I've just been kinda keeping to myself. 1st things 1st. Brianna will be 8 months old in 4 days!!!
My big girl is sitting up on her own now! She can't make herself sit up so I have to help her with that part still but it's just exciting how much she has grown. She's also holding her own bottles now. She likes rolling all over the place. No crawling yet but she sometimes gets these looks in her eyes that she wants to. I give it a month or so. I'm in no hurry for her to grow up so fast. I'm still trying to process how fast 8 months has gone by. I swear I just had her.
Our Christmas wasn't all that exciting. The kids got a few things they asked for. Yes, that's a Nintendo Switch. Kayla wanted it and so did I. Do you know how hard it was not opening it for almost a month??? A few hours after we were done opening gifts, the kids were already asking for their tablets back. I'm like wow. You just got all these new toys and games and you want your tablets already. Thank God i didn't go buck wild with gifts.
Why am I wearing glasses you ask? Well these aren't prescription glasses. These are glasses to help filter out blue light from electronic devices. My eyes are generally on some kind of screen so I'm trying to prevent damage to my eyes. I know what you're thinking. Don't spend so much time with these screens then, but the world we live in today, sometimes it's just hard.
We also hit another big milestone in this house with Alex! He is officially potty trained and honestly I have my sister to thank for the idea. Alex is a huge Spider-Man fan. So, we told him that Spider-Man didn't wear diapers and if he wanted to be like him then he would have to wear big boy undies. By some crazy miracle, it worked. It took us a total of 3 weeks I wanna say to get him completely trained. He poops and pees in the potty and stays dry all night. No I'm not a miracle worker and still don't know how I got so lucky. I will say though, I'm a stay at home mom. Joey was off work for 2 weeks while we trained him. I basically was inside the house for two weeks training him. If you're someone who is on the go a lot then my method won't work for you. The only thing we need to get down now is showing Alex how to go potty without being completely naked. He insists on taking his underwear all the way off still. I have plenty of time to do that before we do preschool sign up next month! I'm so excited about that one! He's gonna have a blast and mommy will gain some sanity back having only one kid at home.
About a week before my birthday, my cousins kids unfortunately got sick. My cousin had purchased Disney on Ice tickets back in September obviously not knowing the kids would be sick so she was nice enough to pass them off to me and the kids and Joey. The kids were mostly good. Brianna was a bit of a handful at the end and I didn't get to see the Frozen set but I saw my favorite Disney Princess Jasmine and that's all that matters. The kids were so excited to see this.
So that has been the excitement in our household these past few months. Also trying to keep up on TV shows with my bestie! It's Bachelor season girls!! God I love the drama! Hahahahahaha. I hope he doesn't pick one of the obnoxious drama filled girls. Happy February everyone and enjoy your Valentine's Day!
