I canNOT believe that Shane is 1/2 a year old ALREADY!!! It's so crazy! He is still the sweetest baby boy. He really hasn't been up to much. The main difference I have noted between Avery and Shane is that right around 5 months Avery started changing rapidly...the colic went away, she started fattening up, sitting up, and was in the crawling pose. Shane has been the same baby for 6 months. He's always been beautiful and chubby;) And he's always been a good baby:) He can sit by himself for a few seconds, but he is no where near close to being able to crawl. He rolls over onto his stomach and pushes up and kicks his feet. He's a big boy and is up to 18 lbs 6 oz right now. He eats 50 oz a day. Shane sleeps 13.5-14 hours a night. And I swear he's teething. He has been so fussy the past 2 days. Very unlike hisself.
And the joys of having an older sister...
Avery is 25 months old now. She is still talking up a storm and adding new sentences to her repertoire all the time. She is incredibly stubborn and hard headed...wonder where she got that from? She is definitely ready to potty train, but she still refuses to do so. I was VERY proud of her the other day when she said, "I want to go pee pee on the potty like a big girl" AND she actually did pee on the potty. She has refused to go on the potty since then. Sigh. She did manage to get her pjs and diaper off, climb up on the kitchen counter and poop though. SMH. I don't know what to do with this child.
As for me...the entire house has been sick for about 2-3 weeks now. So I've literally been stuck in the house for that long. I finally had to break down and go to the doctor. I had a Z Pack and it took until day 7 or 8 to feel better. Both kids are on Amoxicillin. I would rather change poopy diapers any day rather than deal with snot noses:(
AND I am officially a brunette. I am STILL getting used to the change. I was a blonde for several years, so it's weird to be so dark and have no highlights or red tint at all.
