So how was everyone's Summer???
Ours was GREAT!!!
SO MANY awesome things happened!!
Let's start with my big boy Evan....
1. He swims 100% without swimmies!!!.......He can also hold his breath underwater for 10 seconds straight and he loves to touch his hands to the bottom of the pool :0)......Every beautiful day we had, we took FULL advantage of it and would drive the 45 mins to my dad's house to go swimming..........The funny part was that at the beginning of the summer, he was petrified of swimming even WITH swimmies.....he kept on crying and screaming, "I'm going to drown!!".....Oh how dramatic......he kinda sounds like someone I know.....kinda like me....lol........And now he jumps in the 9ft deep end without ANYTHING .......and you can get him away from the pool.....
2. He FINALLY got the hand of buckling himself in his car seat AND shutting the door......What a BIG HELP that is to me!!!!.....There is nothing worse than having to buckle in 2 kids when it is pouring rain out......And here in NJ that was pretty much 60% of our Summer this year.....
3. Evan is an official SOCCER PLAYER!!!!!!........He practices twice a week and has a game every Saturday. Considering that this is his FIRST year playing soccer.....and not to mention he is playing with the "big" kids......(the 8 year olds)......He is doing pretty well......I'm so proud of him.
4. Tying his shoes all by himself makes him feel like such a big boy and I love it!!!
5. He started FIRST GRADE on Sept. 14th and he loves it!!! He goes FULL day this year....... THAT'S BIG TIME BABY!!!!
6. He will be 7 on Oct 24th......Yes 7!!!!! WOW!! My baby is growing up!!!
7. He finally got the hang of playing tennis and is doing better and better each and every time we play.
Now for Mr. Avery
1. He is such a silly and VERY energetic little boy!!!
2. He cracks himself up all the time :0)........His favorite thing to laugh at???......... Himself peeing in the tub :0) .......Boys!!.....ha ha .....gotta love them :0)
3. Avery answers "Yes" to everything..........and I do mean EVERYTHING......I love messing with him......." Avery, Can you stand on your head and moo like a cow?"......Avery replies with a very serious, "Yes".......
4. Ducks, Birds, and Goats are his favorite animals........He quacks and quacks and quacks away.
5. Poor Evan can't catch a break.....Every time we are at the store and Avery is in the cart.....as soon as Evan gets close enough to him.....Avery whacks him....This may sound bad, but I literally have to refrain from cracking up, .....It really has got to be the funniest thing.......Evan dodges Avery's smacks almost the whole time at the store........Evan just makes it worse on himself by laughing every time Avery does it......Evan even provokes him .......Oh the lovely Chaos :0)
6 Avery weighs 20.5 pounds now and is eating GREAT!!!!! He still has the reflux, but it is being controlled BEAUTIFULLY and Avery is a happy eater :0).....Seriously.....He's doing AWESOME!!!.......We are so proud of how far he has come.....
7. He is still a little fish in water!!...... In fact, he is FEARLESS when it comes to being in the pool or the lake. He wants to swim so bad. He spent a good majority of his summer in the pool ........He didn't care if it was too cold.....he just wanted to get in a do his thing........
For my husband and I
1. We love each other more than ever :0)
2. Anthony is still in school and working and traveling with his job all the time......It's been hard not having him at home for long, but when he IS home, we really just focus on spending as much quality family time together :0)
3. We have been refurnishing our house.....YAY!!!! Even though it has been taking a long time to do it, I love it!!! :0)
4. Oh yea......I lost a TON of weight!!! Since Avery was born, I have lost a total of 70 pounds!!! Go me,.......Go me.....Go, go, go me :0).....I still have about 12 pounds to lose before I am at my PRE PREGNANCY weight......as in......BEFORE I got pregnant with EVAN weight .....lol.......
Ok.....I know I probably missed TONS.......I really had so much to tell you that once I sat down.....I forgot a bunch....lol.....Don't you hate it when that happens???.....lol!!! But I really want to get this blog posted already......Sheesh!!! It was supposed to be done like a week ago!......Sorry
I will be posting pictures SOON......I promise!!
