Makayla's 8

My girl is 8 how did that happen. I am a mama of an 8 year old girl wow. Today Glenda called her a little girl, she replied I am not a little girl any more just so you know.



We have spent everyday at the beach since we got here 1 month ago. Today the kids didn't want to leave the water they were in the ocean and I was stuck with Liam strapped to me begging them to get out. Finally they came out we went home and ate more food than I thought possible. They are having a great summer and breaking down tons of country cat walls I love it!!! I love having a mix of country cat and city cat it's pretty special. The other day Scott built a sand castle and the kids watched it for over an hour waiting for the tide to take it down, much better than TV. Some of the kids even had snacks.




Liam is growing everyday his personally is really coming out. He is a super smiley little guy he lights up my world when he smiles and talks to me I love having a baby again. He loves his change table and spends sometimes upwards of 30 min talking to his tiny love mobile. I also bought a swing it is great because it plugs in so I don't have to use batteries. He only nurses for maybe 5 min every 2- 3 hrs so he can spend a bit of time in the swing which usually lulls him to sleep where he naps for a good hour.

3 months

and a little bit. Liam is now 3 months, 8 weeks adjusted, and I am feeling like we are finally leaving the newborn stage and I am really happy about it. It feels like he is developing so fast. He is smiling and cooing and today he grabbed his soother out of his mouth and tried to put it back in multiple times. The stage of holding things is near. He is also super strong on his legs loves to stand and sit on my lap to see the world around.He has gotten into rocking with grandma and his soother, which he loves more than my milk. So tomorrow I am going to get a swing to rock him, hopefully he will like it. he just woke up so this post is over i will try and find time soon to tell some funny family stories.

Country road

Today we went for a walk to the corner store so the kids could return the beer cans. On the way they got a bunch of cans out of the bush. Well Keiran got the cans because Makayla was to scared of bugs, she just cheered him on from the side of the road. They had a great time “saving the environment” and making money for candy. Keiran didn’t even protest the walk once! At one point they said they like doing it more than going to the beach and insisted we should find cans in the bush all the time. They made $1.05 each.... It was great fun teaching them how to make a buck in the country.

Liam is growing so much every day he is smiling and cooing up a storm. He has a sweet personality so far, thankfully! And he sleeps so well from 10-4am almost every night.
