Lazy Blogger

Well, I have been kind of lazy about blogging the last week or so. I have some pictures on the camera, but I don't want to hook it up and put them on the computer. So you'll have to just wait. :)

We haven't really been doing too much. We got our tax refund last week, so I paid some medical bills (yay!). We went to IKEA on Monday and got a new dresser for Hayden and a couple of other things and for now we are holding onto the rest of the moolah until after we trade the car in. Hopefully we will be getting a new flat screen TV. This is a VERY exciting thing for us to do! Dave has been patiently waiting for several years while we have put it off.

Livee gets funnier every day and is starting to fill out a bit since I am nursing her 6 times a day now. I'm hoping our weight recheck in a couple of weeks turns out good. I really am not in the mood to argue with anyone else about my breastfeeding habits. She has also been on a schedule for the last couple of weeks. Around 5:30 she wakes up to nurse, then I put her back down until 8 or so. We take Hayden to school and when I get back home she nurses again. At around 10:30 she goes down for a nap. When she wakes up (around 12:00) she nurses, then an hour later she has 2 ounces of food. At around 2:30, she goes down for another nap then gets up and nurses. About an hour after that she has another 2 ounces of food. At 6:30 I get her ready for bed and then nurse her at 7. She goes to bed after that and I get her up at around 10pm for a dream feed. This is all pretty loose, but she does a lot better when I try to stick to a routine. She is a happy baby!!!

Hayden has been learning quite a bit at preschool. He comes home and tells me which letters he's been learning, so now we are on to writing them. This seems to be a little bit more difficult for him, so I'm trying to work with him at home. He had Father's night a couple of weeks ago and LOVED having Dave there with him. They had so much fun. Next week is the Valentine's party and then he'll be out for a few days.

In the mean time, I have been trying to keep up with housework and cooking and grocery shopping and all that jazz. It's not easy, but since Livee is finally on a routine it is working out better. I've also already started tagging baby clothes for the upcoming consignment sale in Muscle Shoals. I always consign over there because the sale is a week long and I seem to sell more. Here the sales are only 2 days. I've also been dabbling with buying things from Ebay, so I might try to sell some things on there eventually.
