Peighton Update

So today I officially signed up P for ballet class on post at the SKIES building... I hope she is excited as I am about it, ha! She starts next Wednesday.. it's at 12 and a 45 minute long class. We are doing this class for the month of May but if she enjoys it then I will sign her back up for it or we might try tap next. With Brandon being deployed, we have the advantage of free SKIES classes... the ARMY Family Covenant gives children the equivalence of $300 for the duration of the deployment to use toward the SKIES classes... a nice benefit to have! Now I have the task of finding ballet slippers, tights and a leotard by next Wednesday... I love shopping though so it gives me a reason to shop! Hopefully, I wont have a hard time finding them... I think I remember Payless having the shoes at least and I've heard that Target carries them as well. Not sure what the rules are about taking pics during the class... if I can I will be sure to take them and post for all to see... but either way I will definitely update soon on how the first class went :)

Kiddo Update :)

Well I can't believe it but my baby boy turned 2 months old this past Monday :) He is growing up so fast... can't believe he was only born 2 months ago... seems like I've always had my little monkey! I love how his personality is blossoming every day... he is more alert and active... and I love getting his smiles and to hear him "talk" to me. I am completely in love with him... his is still mommy's sweetheart! He had his first official doctor's visit for his 2 month check up on Tuesday. And I am proud to say his growing good and healthy. Henry is now 24 inches long and weighs 12.8 pounds... he is in the 75% for his weight and 55% for his height... needless to say I think he is growing just fine! He is starting to fit into 3-6 months clothes already. He is also up to 4 oz. bottle every 2-4 hours depending on his mood :) Henry only gets up twice a night now... he is usually in bed by 815/830 and does not wake up for his first feeding until sometime between 12-1... then not again until 3-4... then is usually up for the day between 7-715. He has a good schedule for the day too... so thankful he is on a decent schedule already! He is such a good baby... he was even a trooper when it came time for his shots... he cried a little but he was lucky to have his big sister there to hold his hand :) Can't wait to see how big he has gotten and all the things he can do at his 4 month check up!

And for a little update on Miss Peighton... she is transitioning to the 3's and 4's side at her preschool... she gets to go the big kid side! She is so excited too :) She went there for a little bit on Tuesday.. about 2 hours... and she did very well over there. My baby girl is growing up!! I think having some familiar faces over there helps her adjust as well... some of her friends have also turned 3 and are already over there... she will be over there permanently starting next week. I am so happy she loves school... let's hope this sets the tone for the remainder of her school life :)

Extended Spring Break!

Well its been awhile since my last post... and I can't believe how busy we've been this past month that I haven't even been able to blog. But oh so happy to say that april is almost over with.. and the time sure is flying! Peighton had the week after Easter off from school and I knew I wanted to take the kids home to SC for Easter so we just left a little earlier and made it a 3 week long vacation. We had a fabulous time and had a busy three weeks there. Henry met a lot of new faces.. and I know everyone was excited to meet the little guy! Peighton too was happy to get to see everyone again and to be at Mimi's and Papa's house. Let's see we went to the park several times, the Children's Museum, Folly Beach, and of course some shopping :) The kids had a great Easter... we went to church that morning... P had an easter egg hunt in the yard... and the easter bunny left them each an easter basket filled with goodies. It wasn't the same with Brandon there... but we will just have to make up for it next year! We had an uneventful drive home with just a little bit of traffic and no major kiddo meltdowns. Now its back to normal for us... whatever "normal" may be :)
