This is our morning. Usually in the morning Annie wakes up first at 7ish and climbs into our bed. She asks for apple juice which is already made and ready to go in the fridge and then rests in bed for awhile. Lucy wakes up at 7:30 so I get my lazy, tired body out of bed to get her up and feed her while Matt watches a show on the computer with Annie (usually Dora or Blues Clues). After I am done feeding Lucy it is time for Annie and dad to get out of bed and we all have breakfast. Usually we are up and at it by 8.
Three days a week Annie and I hurry through breakfast and drive to the YWCA. Annie goes to her kids gym while I get to go run and lift. Samm and Maddux go with us, so Annie has a friend to play with and I have a friend to run with. It has been so nice to be able to get to the gym and get some running in when you aren’t able to be active outside much. Matt has been amazing to work at home from 8-10 those mornings to stay with Lucy while we are out.
We started Lucy on cereal about a week ago now. She was 4 1/2 months old and was getting really fussy after she ate and was starting to wake up early from her naps so we figured it was time. I was a little hesitant because it seems a little early. But…she has been pounding the food. She, like her sister, is a big time eater.
This is a little picnic dinner and a movie night that we had with Annie. Annie had a rough couple days discipline and obedience wise so we decided to do something special with her. It is hard to be inside all the time and I think that leads to a bit more discipline issues. It could also be that we are well into the “terrible two’s.” Whatever the case, we went to target and got Annie a new Dora DVD and had a picnic and watched Dora for dinner. She LOVED it! At one point Matt and I were sitting on either side of her and she put her arm around both of us. She is such a sweet sweet girl.
This is Annie getting her first hair cut. She was so excited to go get a little trim. We talked about it for days before. She sat so still and was so interested in all the tools that they used. She likes to pretend to go to the salon when she is at home. She sits in her little chair and uses her brush and hair binders. She is so funny.
On other news, Matt took his first steps without his crutches the other day. He is able to walk around the house now without them for the most part. It looks so weird to not see him with crutches he has had them so long. He is so excited to begin rehab and start doing some actual bike workouts soon. So far, things are looking really good. Praying that he will have major increases in his ability to participate in sports and run pain free.
