The View of a 30-Something Mom of two

Uncategorized · July 15, 2015

11 Month Update!


Weight/Length: 21 lbs 11 oz, not sure of height we will just wait to find out next month!

Hair: His hair is a light brown/dirty blonde color. I’m pretty sure this is the way it will stay. 


Diapers: Size 4 and Large Gdiapers and we started using the One Size Flips which I love


Clothing: 12-18 month clothing from Gymboree and Gap, 12 Months from Carters…and we have been using 18 month PJs for when his PJs just seem too tight! We have been looking for shoes lately that are perfect for my little bear crawlin’ boy, we are loving his Nikes and Stride Rite sandals–as well as many other shoes. 

Favorite Things: balls, steering wheel, cars–if it has wheels and goes he likes it (including his friends Barbie car.) 
Likes: watching us vacuum, playing with his aunts and uncles and grandparents, eating, playing in his play room, taking walks with Pop Pop, 

Eating: He is a great eater that’s for sure! I would say some of his favorites are homemade Mac N Cheese, Bananas, Bagels, and Broccoli…oh! and avocado! He will really eat anything so I can’t pin point a favorite just yet.

We transitioned to drinking his formula/milk out of a sippy cup at all times. We give with/before his Breakfast, with/before morning snack, with/before afternoon snack, then after dinner. 


Milestones: 
  • He got his second tooth, and I don’t see any coming in just yet. It doesn’t stop him from eating though! 
  • He took 1 step this past week, but hasn’t done another one since. 
  • Says Dada, Mama, bubbles, makes the sound for Pop Pop, Elmo, occasionally hi, bye, and tries his hand at I love you
  • No more bottles, and we started mixing whole milk with his formula. 
  • Climbs the stairs!
  • Stands by himself for a few seconds
  • First ride at Sea World
Sleeping: He is down by 8PM, and usually up around 7 give or take 15 minutes. He takes 2 naps one at 9AM and then 2PM, they are usually between 1.5 and 2 hours. I love nap time, great time for me to take a quick breather. 

Mama Thoughts:

The last month before my baby boy is a year. I am so excited that we made it through the first year, there were so many ups and downs throughout this year…it was tough! I wouldn’t change it for anything though, I loved every second and would do it all over again in a heart beat. I loved that first month with him, that first week that my husband spent at home with us, waking up and rocking him, having him fall asleep on my chest. He’s such a mobile little one now, and hardly stops for a second…it will only get better from here.

The sweetest mornings are spent with these three. The sweetest mornings are spent with these three. I love to do our together learning in the morning—which includes @masterbooks and @gospelproject_ devotion. My youngest even joins in for our morning breakfast devotion, and then reads and plays while we complete social studies and science. What’s your special moment each day?
Today my sweet baby turns 8. He has taught my so m Today my sweet baby turns 8. He has taught my so much about being a mother, and I love watching him grow every year. He’s a sweet kid, who loves to be silly. He likes his alone time to play, but also loves when his brother plays with him. He surprises me daily with all the things he knows, and I’m so blessed we’re going on our third year of learning together. He loves his baby sister something big, and she puts up with his shenanigans. We all love to watch him play and grow in baseball, and watching his skills develop over the years has been fun! Happy birthday sweet Bennett! 🎂
I went to school to be a teacher—but I’m kinda I went to school to be a teacher—but I’m kinda liking this mom gig. 💁🏼‍♀️ My baby turns 8 on Sunday and is having his birthday party this weekend. I kept thinking about party favors, and after chatting with some friends about ideas—decided on this! I loved that I wouldn’t be handing out candy or other items that may end up just thrown away. Also, ice cream was always served with cake as a kid so what better way to get your ice cream later 😉
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. 💙

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.
