Jace is 7 weeks old now. I can't believe how fast these past 7 weeks have gone! He was 12lbs 8oz at his one month appointment. He's such a porker! He's got to be close to 13lbs by now...maybe more. He's outgrowing some of his 0-3 month clothes already. He smiles more and he's even laughed a few times. He also talks a little bit. Jace has thrush at the moment and if it were gone 2 minutes from now, it wouldn't be soon enough.
Kelsie and Ashlin are doing well. They still fight all the time, but I guess that's a sibling thing. They'll fight, but turn around and hug each other. It's really sweet (or "weet" as Ashlin says) to see them playing nicely together and hugging each other. Christmas was 3 days ago and the kids had a great time! I loved seeing their faces when they first saw what was under the tree. Kelsie saw the presents and then ran straight for the plate Santa's cookies were on to make sure he ate them. I love how into the festivities Kelsie was this year. Since she's four, she's old enough to understand so it was tons of fun. We made a gingerbread house this year and also baked and decorated Santa cookies, made applesauce ornaments, went to the mall to ride the Christmas train, and we went to visit Santa, but he wasn't there, unfortunately. The girls also had a Christmas program at church and it was so darn cute!!! Kelsie even sung Joy to the World all by herself!!! I was "that mom" with the video camera...lol.
So, 2011 is just days away. I seriously can't believe how fast 2010 went by! It's that time of year when we talk new years resolutions. I wasn't planning on having one this year since I always make them and never keep a single one. I think I will, though. I have a few things I really want to do, so why not call it a resolution. First, we plan on moving when our lease is up here. When we move, I want to keep my house organized. We have like zero storage where we live now so nothing really has a home and it's driving me batty. That HAS to change! Second, I want to lose weight. Yep, the good ol' losing weight resolution. The one that millions of people make and no one keeps. It's going to be really hard to get myself in a habit to go to the gym, especially having 3 kids, but it has to happen. I have a lot to lose, so I just need to buckle down and do it. My final one is to learn my camera more. I need to find some "me" time to practice with my camera and get better at photography. I have so much to learn, so there's no better time than now.
Well that's all, folks. See ya again in a month (sooner if I actually sit down and do it)...lol.
