We went to Lana and Spencer’s beautiful wedding on August 29th! It was so much fun and Champ was awesome. He slept most of the reception which was kind of nice, and Joe and I danced with Champ in our arms! It was fun to get dressed up as a family and be with our friends!
Our new baby sitter April as been working out fantastic! It is quite a drive and completely out of my way to get to her house, but it’s only twice a week and its worth it knowing that Champ is getting taken care of!
Last week at work was crazy! Since Melonnie is now on maternity leave I am doing maybe just 75% of her job. Doing that on top of mine and the warehouse manager’s job is exhausting. I even went in on my day off for a couple hours because I felt bad because I couldn’t finish one job at a time and needed to get some stuff done. I do just want to mention that I didn’t complain once. Not once. And I have a great attitude! And since I’m tired of people helping me and screwing things up I decided I was done asking for help and excepting their offers for help. It is nice being super busy though, makes the day go by so much faster!
Our little guy starting teething this week. Poor guy. He has been so fussy and drooly! And we finally put our finger on what the problem was when April sent me a text saying that she had been out running errands for 45 minutes and Champ had been screaming the whole time. (I really wanted to say…welcome to my world. The kid isn’t a fan of being in the backseat by himself!) I asked if he was ok and she said other than 30 minutes and feeding time he just screamed and cried. I told her he might be teething and what do you know…! I was supposed to go out after work on Friday with the work girls for some bonding time but all Champ wanted was Mommy and there was no way I was leaving him. We took a nap from 6-8 then woke up and Champ ate then he went back to sleep until 11 ate again and slept until 4. I guess he was tired from yelling and April all day!
We went to the fair on Saturday and I’ve got to tell you, I miss the fair that they have in Idaho every year. It was still fun other than the fact that Joe couldn’t decide what he wanted to eat and we circled the same area 4 times before he decided. Jeeze man! All I’ve got to say is if I were to do that he would have been completely annoyed with me and made me choose right then in there. Champ was a little grouchy at the beginning but eventually fell asleep. We chose not to take the stroller because there were so many people there and people could care less when you have a stroller. They won’t move for you and they won’t let you get through, so thank goodness for carriers! It was a steal…$11 at Wal-mart and it’s awesome. My favorite part of the fair is the animals of course. And I always drag Joe and we must go look at ALL of them. Sadly most of them become food but they are still fun to look at! There were lots of baby rabbits! I loved it! And they were selling them! Joe said that he wanted to get us a bunny for our anniversary! How sweet! We totally took a card!
I can’t believe how time flies! Champ is already over 2 months old now. He is getting so big. He holds his head up great and likes to pull himself up off his back while holding my hands. And he now likes to stand up too. Joe and I just can’t believe how he has grown up right in front of our eyes! He is way more into touching things now. He grabs for toys and he actually held his little rattle thing by himself, then dropped it on his head! He is so much fun! Champ is sleeping way better in his crib and we have started putting him down sooner and letting him fall asleep without rocking him and he is doing pretty good! I’m so proud of our little Monkey! And I’m super excited for our play date with Henry and Chelsey this week!
Wow you have been busy. Glad to see you are all happy. And teething-no fun.
