Well, we made it to 3 months! Alexandra is finally on some sort of schedule, we usually go to sleep around 930-10 pm and then usually wake-up around 2-3 am to do our night feeding...Typically Alexandra goes right back to sleep until either Daddy wakes us up and makes Queenie bark around 530-545 am (which then wakes up usually Alexandra, Mommy and Matt), Matt wakes up and demands attention around 6 am or Alexandra wakes up super hungry.
Matt at 23 Months old. He is finally wearing those Size 18 Months pants and his shirts which are 18 months size as well. I am guessing he is around the 26 lbs mark, but next month at his 2 yr appointment we can get an official weight! He has started taking a parent/child swimming class every Saturday and loves going to the pool. He loves taking baths as well and since his swim class has started trying to kick and swim in the bathtub which leads to getting Mommy very wet! We also have this wonderful foam puzzle of the States which is Matthew's new favorite toy/game. We must put and take apart the puzzle a dozen times a day. Matthew is all about the Cat in the Hat TV show on PBS. He was on the Daniel Tiger show and Sesame Street a few weeks ago, but right now he is obsessed with Cat in the Hat!
Alexandra is a Drama Queen! At 3 months she is running the house. She is wearing 6 months one-size outfits but if it is a 2 piece outfit, she is still able to wear the 3 months size stuff. Her feet are still so skinny that I have to put on sock savers to keep socks from falling off. She is typically a happy child during the morning but come afternoon and near a nap time, she is a holy terror, really able to put on a show when it comes to throwing a fit.
As for me, I have applied for 2 biology teaching positions at local community colleges and reached out to friends and family for help getting contacts at various schools, but no luck yet with getting an interview. I am keeping my fingers crossed and hopeful that maybe this spring when schools start to think about their fall schedules and enrollments, maybe something will open up for me. As for on-line teaching, I finish 2 classes on Sunday and my third class ends in 3 weeks. I am hopeful that I might get a few more classes after my current classes end, otherwise I am not sure what I am going to do to keep myself busy.
Jay gets a root canal done on one of his molars tomorrow so hopefully that will go well so he can do his swim class with Matthew. Otherwise I will have to find a bathing suit that fits so I can venture out in public :)
Well, that is about all these days, Queenie is doing ok, going to have to find her a Vet soon as she is due for a teeth cleaning and needs her Rabies shots by April.
Here is a cute picture of Alexandra, she is now wearing bibs pretty nonstop during the day as the slobbering is continuous. I am sure we shall see teeth poking through before too long. This was one of our better mornings where she was willing to smile and cooperate with me for a short time.
Now that Alexandra holds up her head and likes to be upright, we take time to put her in the exersaucer. She is not quite able jump or really stand all that well in the toy but for short periods of time, she does appear to enjoy it. I am sure before too long, like Matthew she will be very happy to spend hours in this toy, which will be great for mommy to have time to do stuff around the house.
That is about all for now. We are going to leave Matthew and Jay's birthday celebration plans to the last minute as we are not sure what the weather will be and ideally we would like to be able do something outside like the zoo or the world bird sanctuary. I am keeping my fingers crossed for nice weather otherwise we have limited options.
