Long time, no post!

Hello, long lost blog buddies! Life has been crazy hectic with sick babies and tax season gearing up at work. The good news is, both babies are feeling much better. The bad news is, tax season isn't going away. HA! It's only February and it's been crazy already. The best part about it is the days go by so much quicker. :) I've been so TIRED when I get home in the afternoons that I haven't taken a single picture in over a week. Terrible right? Anyways, I will be catching you up on our lives pictureless today. :) Here's a few things that have been going on in our world, bullet style.

• I mentioned in this post that I was planning on trying to make my own baby food since Gunner wouldn't have ANYTHING to do with the store bought. Well, it was a success!!! He LOVES it. So far I've made peaches, apples, mangos, bananas, carrots, sweet potatos, green beans, peas and avocados. He has loved it all except the avocado but if I mix it with another veggie he tolerates it. Which is good since I hear avocado is good "brain food." I did alot of research on making my own baby food and while I was researching I found this blog which was very informational and helpful. I pretty much did everything the same way she did. She does have several different tools (kitchen appliances) to choose from though. I couldn't fathom paying A LOT of money for any special machine so I bought this do-dad at walmart and it has worked just fine for me. I've used it for everything I've made so far and haven't had any problems. I'm feeling pretty productive. Not only am I saving us a TON of money by making my own baby food, it's also SO much better for Gunner and so very easy too.

• Both boys are feeling much better and we only have 2 days left of antibiotic. Thank goodness. I don't do too good remembering things that need to be added to our regular schedule, daily for 10 days. I thought my memory was horrible before having babies... after having 2, sometimes I think it's shot. HA!

• This Friday is Dalton's last home game for the year and I literally just had these made for both boys...

Dang!

Good news is, they should be able to wear them next year.

• Gunner had his FIRST belly ache last night. Well actually this morning from 2:30 - 4:30 am. It was pretty awful. So awful I called both my mom and my MIL at 3:30 am to see if it was normal? I had NEVER heard him scream the way he was screaming. My MIL ended up driving all the way over to our house at 3:30 to make sure it was JUST a belly ache. Shortly after she got there and we gave him some tylonel, he was out like a light. He slept like a rock until I went in to get him ready for the day. Poor bud. I hope we never have to experience another one of those again. I'm pretty positive Tuff never had one when he was an infant so it was a first for all of us.

• Despite what we went through this AM, Gunner Bear slept from 8 PM to 4:30 AM the night before last (Monday). YAY! Baby steps, but at least we're taking some kind of steps. This mama misses her sleep!!! I'm actually thinking about trying to convert him to his own crib soon. Not sure when "soon" will be but I'll be sure to let you all know how it goes when that time comes.

• Our fridgerator hasn't been cooling very well the past few weeks. We are on the market for a new one. Ugh. I hate the thought of having to buy a new appliance. Mainly because I know how expensive it's going to be. Wish us luck! ;)

• We converted Gunner Bear to a "big boy" car seat this past weekend. He was getting TOO big for the carrier and I could barely carry him around in that thing anymore. So we made the switch. Actually, Tuff got the new seat and Gunner got Tuff's old seat. Jordan said he thought Tuff's seat looked safer for Gunner's age. Gunner seems to like it better. Even though he's still rear facing. I'm sure he'll really be thrilled when he can turn face foward. He's a nosey little thang.

• Tuff fell face first on the hardwood floor at my MIL's house yesterday morning. When he fell, he fell on his mouth. And it literally looks like his mouth caught him. It looks awful ya'll. Poor baby.

• I finally decided to get a Pinterest account. I had my mom send me and invite and when she sent it, it said I had to have a Facebook or Twitter account to sign up. My mom didn't think that was right so she suggested I "request an invite" so I did. I got put on the waiting list. Go figure. A week or so later I got my invite and it said the same thing. Really? I sent them an email to see if that was right. Incase you're all wondering, I don't have a Facebook OR Twitter account and I have no desire for either. I'm currently waiting on a response from my email I sent to Pinterest. I'm dying to start "pinning" my own plans. The way it's looking though, I might not be.

• Valentine's Day is Tuesday and Tuff goes to school that day. I'm trying to decide what to send him from us for his first official Valentine's day at school. Any ideas? It's hard trying to think of something for a toddler. Especially a boy toddler. I also got a note from his teacher yesterday that they will be exchanging Valentine's in his class. So now I'm trying to come up with ideas for Valentine's for his classmate, too!

• Gunner will be 6 months old next week. Sheeeeesh, time is flying right on by. I can't believe he'll be 1/2 year old, already! It's crazy to think about.

That's pretty much all the updating I've got!

Hope you're all enjoying your week.

Happy Wednesday!
