I am very proud to announce....Haylee is potty trained!!!! We started a couple of months ago when I ran out of diapers and and Haylee has done amazing. We got down to just putting her in a pull-up at bedtime but the last 4 nights she has worn her big girl Tinkerbell underwear and stayed dry through the night! I'm really praying that she will want to potty train Jadyn and make my life a whole lot easier =)
Jadyn is 3 months old now and has the sweetest personality. I can't get enough of her smiles and laughs! She rolled over for the first time at 10 weeks but just in the last week or so she has decided that her on her belly is the place to be. So as soon as I put her on her back she rolls over, gets stuck and gets MAD! She absolutely loves when I put her in the bath and not in her little seat that sits in the bath. I lay her back and she kicks and wiggles and I have to really fight to hold on to her! I put a video of it on youtube for everyone to see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bo_aw-zzppo . She is 12lbs 7oz and getting to be quite the little chunk!
Haylee talks a mile a minute and I am amazed at the things she can say. She will hold a full conversation with you (if she lets you get a word in...) and is the sweetest little girl. She absolutely loves her baby sister and wants to help mommy do everything with her. She is quite the little helper! She is 24lbs now and really starting to shoot up!
John is doing great at work. He's working swing shift which is 3-11pm and we love it! It's wonderful having him home in the morning to help with the girls and it feels like we get a whole lot more time with him. We are still trying to figure out the next step in our lives, whether he is going to re-enlist after the 6 years or not. We would really like to stay overseas for a little while longer and that may mean that he has to re-enlist, but who knows?! We're just taking it one day at a time.
I feel like I am finally getting the hang of having 2 kids. It was rough for a while but I'm learning to manage my time and finding that it really is possible to juggle taking care of my husband, 2 kids, the house and myself. We started taking a circuit training class twice a week at the gym and that has been amazing for me. It is the most intense workout I have ever done and I love how hard it pushes me. And it's working! I have lost 17lbs since Jadyn was born and my jeans are fitting me again =)
Life is good! We have an amazing family, great friends and the opportunities we never thought we would ever have! Love you all and miss you!
