Oh, Monday!

Its Monday. It's raining. I've been up since 6am. Yeeeeah.

Avonlea decided that she needed to be up a gazillion 6 times last night and then she was up for good at 6am this morning. I slept like crap last night too. Ugh! I also realized at 3am that I had to be at work at 8am this morning instead of thinking I had the morning off. Then, my client no showed me at 8. Such a joyous start to my day!

So, here I sit at my office, attempting to work. I did get my billing finished for the month and I should be working on reports.....buuuuut....I'm not. Yes, Hi, my name is Courtney and I'm a procrastinator. Mmmmk.

In other news, Peytonn saw the ENT on Friday. On a scale of 1-4, his tonsils were a 2.5-3+ in size. Needless to say, they need to be taken out. Its affecting his sleep and he is in the beginning stages of apnea. He'll need to be "down" from all activity for approximately 2 weeks. (that should be fun!) He won't even be able to ride in a car for longer than an hour. So, with school still in session and baseball until the end of June, we've scheduled the procedure for July. The doc says we should see immediate results in his sleep. I sure hope so!

Peytonn is also LOVING baseball this year. I'm so glad that I ignored him when he told me he didn't want to play this summer. Last year, he played through the YMCA and its an understatement to say that it was horrible! We got switched teams mid-season and the coach parent volunteer hardly ever showed up. In the "team" picture, there are 4 kids. Yeeeah. But this year, he was old enough to play in one of the youth leagues in our town. The coach is awesome, they have practice twice a week with games on Saturday, and most of the kids (including the coaches kid) attend catholic school. I am glad Peytonn is getting a chance to socialize with kids he will be attending school with next year. His first game is this Saturday and he is totally pumped about it. He asks everyday if he has baseball. But the best part, is watching him attempt to do jumping jacks during practice. Ha! One day son, one day. I'm sorry that you have inherited your father's rhythm!

I'm hoping to get Bennett into some swim lessons or some sort of activity this summer. He really wants to play baseball, but he is too young and I'm not wasting my money on the YMCA again.

Avonlea is crawling EVERYWHERE! Nothing is safe from this child! Her bottom teeth are also super close to breaking through. It's only a matter of time.

She has also tried several new foods this month and has done really well with them and feeding herself. Here is what we have tried:
--quinoa
--kiwi
--mango
--ground beef
--cheerios
--yogurt
--cottage cheese
--cheese

This girl loves to feed herself and is starting to slow down on wanting to eat pureed foods. I mostly just use them to finish "filling her up" at the end of a meal. She has also slowed down on bottles too. She was drinking close to 40oz a day, but has now dropped to taking 4-6 ounces at a time while increasing her solid food intake.  She also has a sassy "feed me now or else" kind of attitude as well these days. But how can you get agitated when she is just so darn cute! But then she pulls your hair and pinches you. I think I'm in trouble!
