Seventeen Weeks - Happy Birthday Mommy!

The big event this week was my Birthday! Jim was out of town for the majority of it - but the kids were so good to me! Addisen painted a card for me at daycare and Brody colored me a picture (and wrote his name!).

Last night Jim got home and surprised me with this certificate that he made with the kids! It is so cute! They all did a great job on it!

Addisen still continues to love her naps! She sleeps for about 4 of the 8 hours she is at daycare. Still the best baby there! Night time still fluctuates, but for the most part I don't mind having to get up one time a night.

We met my parents tonight for dinner and then they took Brody home with them. They are going to MSU tomorrow for small animal day. It isn't going to be the best weather for them, but Brody will be excited to go with Grandma, Bobo, Uncle Neal and Jenny! It is strange to be home with just Addisen. This is the first time she has been the only child in this house - it is quiet!

Last Sunday we were spoiled with 80 degree weather (tonight it is closer to 30!). While we were out playing in the yard we found a caterpillar. Brody was brave enough to hold it! We even had to take it on our walk (we...because I had to carry it the majority of the way). When we got back Brody put it back in the flowerbed and made it a "home". Everyday we are out looking for him - but he never seems to be at home. Brody thinks maybe he is out looking for his mom.

Brody got to try out his baseball skills with Uncle Neal. By the end of the morning he was doing a really good job hitting the ball to Jim. This week at Sports Class he learned about golf. It was pretty funny to see all of these 3-5 year olds putting! It was also amazing that they didn't swing the clubs at each other! We only have one more week of class - the last activity will be rock climbing! That will be something to see!

We go for Addisen's 4 month check up on Thursday. I am excited to see how much she weighs and see what the doctor thinks about starting cereal. I think she is ready to start, she really enjoys watching us at dinner time...and maybe this could mean a full night of sleep!
