The View of a 30-Something Mom of two

monthly · April 14, 2015

Eighth Month Update


Weight/Length: Bennett decided that this month he wanted to throw my calculations off by gaining a little more then he usually does. Bennett weighed in at 16 lbs. 15 oz. and 28″ in length

Hair: His hair continues to grow in the back of his neck and over his ears, its like a light brown with hints of dirty blonde in there. 


Diapers: Size 3 Honest Company and Medium Gdiapers


Clothing: 6-12 Months in Gap, Old Navy, and Gymboree. Except some random jeans that must have been sized wrong from the Gap and they finally fit him. 9 Months in Carters, Oshkosh, and Target. 

Favorite Things: Spoons, sitting/standing up, Scout, leapfrog table, our phones–He has so many favorite things, but this is what I can think of off the top of my head!
Likes: his elephant lovey, eating, walks with pop pop, walking around the lake, playing outside, being pushed in his swing
Dislikes: When we watch him try to get himself out of a tangled mess, or when he is trying to get a toy and we don’t just give it to him. Despises sippy cups…don’t let this picture fool you. He loved them for a while, hates them now. 

Eating: This month we started him on chicken, turkey, and yogurt. He has also tried asparagus, broccoli, nectarines, and cherries. I still make all of his food, and can’t wait for him to try all the stuff I made yesterday. A delicious chicken casserole dish will be on the menu this week! 
Milestones: Slept through the night, Dedicated, Says mama (sometimes), Boo, waves hi and bye

Sleeping: On March 30th, Bennett decided he would sleep through the night. He made it from 7:30PM-6:30AM. 2 days later he got some sickness, and that threw that out the window. He did sleep again through the night last week, and has woken up once a night since. 

Mama Thoughts:
I can’t believe that 8 months ago today, we were in the hospital painfully anticipating the birth of our son. Who knew that weeks of struggling to get him to gain weight, breastfeeding challenges, no sleep challenges, and so much more seems so trivial now. Not that newborns aren’t fun, but Bennett is getting to such a fun age and we have so much fun playing with him! He has such a personality, and is like his mom when he makes you laugh he just has to laugh too. Hilarious!

Bless all you kindergarten teachers. Or any of tho Bless all you kindergarten teachers. Or any of those who are telling your students to leave their shoes on and eat a snack (not a meal). Also, any other moms out there that their kid missed their siblings more than you? 🤦🏼‍♀️ oh well, he enjoyed it and his teacher is literally the sweetest thing! How is your first week going? Any case of the kids say the craziest thing? I love the first day of school, and it’s such a special moment to watch and see how each child takes the day and runs with it. 💙
I’ve got another after school snack recipe for y I’ve got another after school snack recipe for you! We love making these apple donuts—they are fun for the kids to decorate—add frosting, peanut butter, sprinkles, the list goes on! Kroger now has an amazing new membership that offers FREE next day grocery delivery. They are also giving 2X the fuel points for every dollar spent* on groceries. All of this and much more for $59/Year! We love getting our groceries from Kroger as it saves so much time and money, in more places then just the grocery store.
How are you celebrating National Book Lovers Day? How are you celebrating National Book Lovers Day? Picking books out at the library each week is my favorite part of the week when homeschooling my boys! We go through a list of books that our just right for their reading level, and put them on hold at the library. When they are ready we drive thru and pick them up. The best part? We can look at all the books we read at the end of the school year, and use that as part of our portfolio. Do you utilize your library? How do you pick out your books?

What supplements do you take? You’ve got all the What supplements do you take? You’ve got all the care routines down—but what about adding in your supplements? We’ve use @firstdaylife for the boys for a few months now, and I recently purchased the supplements for myself. I’m loving both of them! I take them each morning with my skin care routine—which helps prepare my body for a great day. 👏As a busy mom of three, I need to take care of myself as well and this is one way I do it! We start the homeschool year tomorrow, and I’m excited to get all of my daily routines in order and be prepared for the day!
