I meant to have a fun post up today but I spent most of the precious “both kids are napping” time working on updating my About Page. Check it out if you get a moment! 🙂
Just a little bit about my week:
Something that has been extra fun lately is the progression of Little Ox #2’s personality! This is one of my favorite stages! They are moving out of the newborn phase a little bit and becoming more aware of their surroundings. I say this a lot but I can’t stress the fact enough that Nolan loves watching his older brother! One of my favorite things since having #2 is watching #1 morph into an amazing older brother. He is so gentle, loving, and protective of his little brother. He loves showing him off to other people and loves having someone to make laugh. Josiah was SO excited this week when I dressed them up in the same outfit.
Little Ox #2 loves his baths! It took Josiah a few months before we were able to do his baths without any screaming along the way. Since Nolan’s second bath ever, he has been like this. It is one of his favorite things ever!
Little Ox #1 has been fascinated with everything associated with breastfeeding. Here is a sweet little shot of him “feeding” his baby that we got him before #2 was born. He tries to nurse his baby and pump any time he can. It is so sweet and funny how aware of his surroundings he is!
Another great thing that happened this week was somewhat of a sleep milestone for Nolan! He has slept mostly through the night for a month or so now, but the other day while I was working out, I laid him in his crib with his pacifier while he sleepy, thinking I could get a few minutes of the workout in before he started crying, needing to be held. However, I went to check on him 10 minutes later and he had fallen asleep, on his own, unswaddled, in his CRIB! This is amazing because usually the ONLY way we can get him to sleep is swaddled, in his swing, usually with white noise. I was so surprised! We decided that night to see if he would sleep in his crib all night like he does in his swing. So that night, we swaddled him, sleepy, and laid him in his crib with white noise and he was out in 10 minutes, no crying, and he slept until almost 4:30am! Woohoo!
This week Josiah and I made superhero masks too! If you didn’t know already, he LOVES superheroes and tries to use anything as his superhero props. So I found an amazing DIY on Pinterest and I sewed some up for him. Look out for a new post soon on how I made them!
Another woohoo moment is that I finished every one of my workouts this week! Once you get on a roll it is hard to stop. You start actually WANTING to work out
Lastly, I am so excited to be starting some research on putting together a marriage workshop. Marriage is so important and I am so passionate about making my marriage the absolute best it can possibly be. Being a CFLE is so exciting because I am able to help others and share with them my passion about making a marriage thrive and helping it enrich your life!
