Claire
Our little girl is getting such an interesting personality and does the funniest things sometimes especially if she encounters a dog. Anytime we go to the park and there is a dog around there is no playing at the park it is all just standing and pointing and wanting to play with or pet the dog. I hope we never run into a violent dog that tries to bite her, I'm worried so I've tried to not allow it unless the owner says it is okay for her to get close. She likes her sister sometimes but when Shay is trying to reach out for things that she has had in the past, Claire will try to take it away. I was able to braid her hair!!! It was while she had wet hair from the bathroom so it actually held but was right before bed time so we didn't go out with it, I still feel accomplished.
Shay
We are still working on helping her sleep more, or at least it is on my mind constantly because she doesn't sleep all night yet. I don't know what solution is going to work for us but so far we haven't been able to be consistent with letting her calm herself to sleep because she is still in our bedroom in the pack and play. The greatest joy I would have is to move her into Claire's room and make Claire deal with her but that can't happen, and it didn't help that she got a stomach bug this past week and was puking in the middle of the night. Other than that she is still rolling all over the floor and getting up on her knees like she is about to crawl but doesn't quite yet. She ate baby food really well the first two weeks feeding her but she is resisting it now for some strange reason, baffles me but we can still trick by quickly putting it in when she opens to put something else in her mouth.
Subbing
I'm back to being a substitute teacher and I did two jobs this past week! I'm very excited to be back at it and I love that it is possible for me to do some days since Chris doesn't work every day. We hope that I can pick up 2-3 days a week and start getting my name out there, even though we might be moving after the school year ends it is good for me personally. I still worry about Shay cause she doesn't like bottles but so far we survived and I've got more for this week already. This school district is so big that it is easy to get jobs, but I've been picky for now since we don't actually need the extra income.
Chris
I don't usually do a section about my wonderful husband, so I have a lot to say that even though he doesn't like attention, I'm going to give to him. He has been working hard at his own job and everyone loves him there but we are very excited for the interviews we have for PA school within the next month to move up and forward. I loved when he got the email because he was very excited and I'm glad the time has finally come to start receiving interview invites. He is a good husband when dealing with my emotions and a great daddy especially when he finds funny new things for Claire...even during church.
