Life

I have had several people tell me that I need to post more on my blog. I agree with them, unfortunately life has been pretty difficult lately, and it is hard to think on something positive to say so I don't sound as negative as I feel. However, Freddy just had his late 15month check up this last week which made him 16months.
Here are some fun stats:
weight: 22lbs 6oz
height: 30inches
He is in the 15percentile for both of area. I thought he was a lot bigger then that. Since he turned one, he as hasn't grown a whole lot. The doctore reassured me that he is a very healthy boy.

Some things that he is now doing:
-running, climbing, bouncing, and dancing
-he makes great attempts at repeating words, but isn't quit there yet. He can say all done and up. He makes the dog sound, growls almost constantly, snorts like a pig, spits like a llama, and can make a pretty good elephant noise.
-he loves to sign, he knows all done, more, please, bird, dog, ball, fish, eat, drink, car, shoes, and cat. He can communicate his wants very well.
-things that he LOVES: sticks, rocks, dogs, animals, balls, food, other children
He is still the light of my life. His temper tantrums are getting more common. Mainly happens when things don't go his way. He really enjoys going to the daycare at the gym we go to, which eases my mind A LOT. Freddy is just an adorable boy, who is no longer my baby. I really miss my baby, but love my little boy.

This weekend we have Audrey with us. Freddy loves it when she comes to visit. It is kind of hard on Dev and I because all she does is follow Fred around, or stands around twiddling her fingers. It is kind of exhausting because we have to tell her how to be a kid. Tell her what to play with, when to eat, how to eat, when to clean up. If anyone has any suggestions for us that would be great.

I am now working two jobs. I clean a gym at least four nights a week, 2.5hrs night. I also babysit in the mornings two very cute boys, ages 10months and 3.5yrs. All three boys keep me pretty busy. The babysitting has only been 20hrs a wk, but will soon change to 32hrs/wk. So I will soon be working 42hrs on top of being a mother, wife, cook, and house cleaner. Devan really needs to get a new job, because I don't know how much longer a can do this. He works a 35-40hr/wk. And he does help some around the house. Life is just hard. He has a couple of different jobs he has applied for that are in Oregon. We are just waiting to see what happens. Moving to Oregon at the end of summer doesn't sound too rough to me, if that means I don't have to work two jobs.

Well that is it for now I suppose. I hope everyone has a great Memorial Weekend!!!
