10 on WEDNESDAY

1. Once again Tuesday came and went, so I'm catching up on a Wednesday again. Hopefully I can get some pictures up this week.

2. At this very moment we are trying to decide what to do about daycare. I want Colton in a home setting for at least another year, but we think Chase should be in Preschool. It seems like a pain to drop off at two different places, so we don't know what to do. It is a very stressful process. The centers are so expensive but we are also scared of going to another home daycare. You know the centers are always open and they aren't going to close because of a personal reason. Decisions, decisions.

3. Oh, and did I mention this decision has to be made before the end of the day on Friday?!

4. Colton is pulling up on everything now. He thinks he's pretty cool doing it too. He just giggles and looks at you with an expression like "See me? See what I'm doing?!"

5. Chase went with Grandma the other day and got his hair cut. I don't know what it is, but he has acted more "mature" since getting his haircut. Well, at least until the major fit he threw tonight because he wanted to build his train track instead of getting jammies on. He's been listening more, being so sweet to Colton, and talking more maturely. Had to have been the hair cut! :)

6. Chase and Colton have both been eating like wild animals. They are bottomless pits. So it could be one of two things. 1) They are getting ready to have a growth spurt or 2) They are both getting ready to get sick. I'm hoping for #1!

7. Chsae was supposed to have his preschool screening two weeks ago but I had to cancel because of work, but it's rescheduled for August 8th now. I'm anxious to see what the results show.

8. Colton's two bottom teeth are so close to coming in. The poor little guy has been miserable lately. He won't let me put him down! I go to the bathroom holding him, brush my teeth holding him, fix dinner holding him, etc... He won't let me out of his site without having a total meltdown and making the saddest face ever. That's mommy's boy!

9. We took Chase to see Cars 2 and he loved it. He has been reinacting scenes from the movie since. In the movie Mater has a girlfriend and the other cars tease him. Now when Chase is playing, he designates one toy as the girlfriend and one toy as the boyfriend. Oh geez....and so it begins!

10. Another Just Between Friends sale is coming up in August, so it's time to get stuff ready again. I made about $300 after their part was taken out, not too bad. I have a lot of Winter baby stuff to sell!

10 on WEDNESDAY

1. Ok. Time to get busy with this blog. Work has just been insanely busy and crazy, so I haven't felt like blogging in the evenings. In addition to all of the changes taken place at work, I have been given a new role as a Lead. So....I'm tired. :)

2. We have been very busy! We had a great family vacation, but I was ready to come back home to my baby Colton. I missed him like crazy, but it was nice to give Chase some undivided attention for a few days.

3. Colton turned 9 months last week and he is on the move. Actually, he has been on the move for a while now, I am just a little behind. Poor Chase can't keep Colton out of his toys now. We are working on to "nicely" tell Colton that he can't have something instead of yelling "No Colton! I mad at you! I don't like you!"

4. Both boys are starting a new daycare in two weeks and I am a nervous wreck. I hate that they have to switch, but what can you do? After looking at about a million daycare, I have found one that seems wonderful and I know people that have gone there and loved it.

5. Chase has not been sleeping real well at night, which is not typical of Chase. He has always been a really good sleeper. He wakes up frequently during the night whining and during the day he has been very whiney/fussy with us. He keeps saying his back hurts. I'm thinking maybe growing pains?

6. Colton started table food this week and he loves it! He is eating so good. Last night he ate an entire sweet potato, a ton of pasta, and his bottle. Tonight he killed the peas and mandarin oranges!

7. I hit a milestone last week. The big 30! Wow. I remember when 30 seemed so old.

8. Chase just got signed up for swim lessons and soccer. He starts swim on August 1st and soccer at Wilson's August 20th. Plus, I found out that Harrisburg offers Pre-K t-ball, so he gets to do that next year. Super excited! I'm nervous about the swim lessons though. He says he will not get in the water. He is already refusing. This should be interesting.

9. Kyle is hating this hot weather. 100+ degrees several days in a row is no fun, especially for a construction worker. He is so worn out at the end of the day.

10. I am vowing to do better with this blog. Colton is almost a year old and I have hardly blogged his "babyhood", I must do better.
