6 MONTHS!

Xander is 6 MONTHS OLD!! I just can't believe it!!! UGH! He is growing so fast!!! The pediatrician was so impressed with him!! She said developmentally he was a 9 month old! He even "scooted" for her!!! And he did is "Down-ward dog" Yoga pose for her! LOL!! She was really impressed with and with how happy he was! :) However, she also go to experience the "Golden Shower!" I felt terrible though!! She did say he had a "wonderful stream!" LOL!! He is still in the 95% for height, but dropped to the 25% in weight. He did gain weight, but only a couple pounds. He is just shy of 16lbs right now. So, we are introducing solids now!! YAY! He isn't a huge fan of it just yet, but I have a feeling it will get better!!! He did seem to like when I mixed sweet potatoes and oatmeal together!! I also think when we introduce fruits it will be a whole new story! LOL! He LOVES apple juice, so I have a feeling fruits will be a piece of cake! Also, we are getting FOUR TEETH!! The two tops and two bottoms!! I KNEW something was going on because he is chewing on everything!!

We also got 6 Month pictures today!! There wasn't ONE bad picture in the bunch!! I had such a hard time picking out pictures to buy!! Just thought I would share a couple of my favorites! :)

My Little Cutie!

Super Xander

Number 1 Wildcat fan!

Fun Filled Weekend!

My Mom and Aunt Helen came down to visit this weekend and we had a BLAST!!! We went to the Dallas Zoo and it was great!!! I have lived in Dallas 6 years and this is the FIRST time I have been!! Breckyn and I rode the CAMEL!! It was so cool. Her name was Tiffany and Breckyn kept saying, "Good Tiffany! Your a good girl!" LOL! It was cute!!!

Then we came home and played outside!! It was a beautiful day here, a little windy, but great! So, we were practicing our twirling!! Hopefully I can get her to focus long enough to get a routine together so maybe we can twirl at Shannon's contest at the end of April! Or at least we can do our special duet! :)

Then Grandma and Mama tried to get Breckyn to do her somersault!! I think she is the only one that got it right! LOL!! How is it that a two year old can do it perfect!? Oh, yeah, I am old and out of shape!! Pay close attention to my Mom who seems to have lost her "way." LOL!

Then Mama decided to see if she still had it! LOL! Not my best work, but not horrible. I am definitely not KSU field ready and I have only 6 months to get my fat butt in gear to look half way decent at the game!! It's ALUMNI year!!! WHOHOO!!! :) Xander will be almost a year old then!! WOW!! Where has the time gone?!!!

"It's shake n bake and I helped!"

Breckyn helped me make some Shake and Bake Chicken tonight and he had to wear her apron to do it! It was a lot of fun and she is a great helper!!

Getting ready to help!

My number one helper!

Solid Foods!

March 5th we decided to attempt the dreaded Rice Cereal!! Breckyn HATED it, so I wasn't so sure Xander would either. Especially since he seems to be following in his sisters footsteps in every way. He NEVER wanted a pacifier, got his first ear infection a four months, breathing treatments at five months, and he loves to swing! :) So, I figured he wouldn't be to found of it. And I was correct! LOL! He just wasn't to sure about the new texture in his mouth, but he did LOVE sitting in the high chair!

I am ready, bring it on!

Hmmm... Not a fan! LOL!

Shopping for a Brother!

Breckyn came into the living room with a baseball helmet on, pushing her shopping cart with toys and stuff animals in it.

This is how it started.

Then she told me this:

"Mommy, I want to push baby brother in my cart."

He had a good time having his big sister "push" (which was only inches!) him around!

I think he realized that this picture could come back to haunt him when he is around 16 or 17!!! :)

Beautiful Weather, Beautiful Kids!!

It was so beautiful outside yesterday we decided to go play!!! Breckyn LOVES being outside and Xander has a new LOVE for the outdoors!!!! :)

Driving her "Car!"

My Smiley little man! It wasn't cold, but he has an ear infection, and the wind was blowing a bit, so I wanted to be on the safe side and cover those things up! :)

When One Door Closes A Better One Opens!

Back on the 10th of January I was laid off from OCCMD, where I had worked for 2 years. I really enjoyed working there and loved the girls I worked with!! They were always so much fun! So, naturally I was super sad when it happened. On top of the general stress of being laid off I went home and worked on my resume ASAP. I started applying for jobs right away. I had multiple interviews with staffing firms, and some actual jobs. And I always felt as if they all went well. But last Monday (the 7th) I had an interview with an independent insurance company. The interview went AMAZING and I felt confident I had got the job. When I got home I had an e-mail form another company, Kimbley-Horn, about coming in for an interview. I went ahead and scheduled the interview for Thursday because I figured I would head something by then from the other job and then I could cancel this interview if he did offer me the job. Well, Tuesday came and went, and then Wed, and I decided I was going to go to the interview anyways.

So, I got all ready and headed out for the interview. I wasn't sure how I thought it was going but I knew I really liked the company. Also, I didn't want to get my hopes up either. So, after the interview I headed home only to get a call saying Xander was running a fever. Ugh. So I took him to the doctor right away. He ended up having an ear infection and got some antibiotics. On the way home from the doctor I got a call from Kimbley-Horn! They offered me the job!!!! The pay, benefits, ect. are all amazing!!! I couldn't believe it!!! WHOHOO!! So, now I could enjoy my time at home visiting friends/family without stressing out to bad! Pending m drug test and background check I am scheduled to start the 21st!!!! Right before my birthday! :) Happy Birthday to me! :) So, wish me luck and I am so excited about this job!
