1.  Liam popped a tooth. OMG.  My baby is so old!!!!

2.  I still can't find a job.  It bums me out.  BUT I do get to stay home with my kiddos and what could be better than that?  I should stop complaining.

3.  Jimmy is going to LA for his Birthday to see Rage Against the Machine at LA Rising (a concert) with a friend.  My mom bought him tickets, his dad gave him airline miles and....well it was my idea!  I am jealous, not because of the concert because I could care less about Rage (but I do enjoy how often sirius plays their songs), but because I've always wanted to go to CA!!  I always wanted to move out there and go to hair school and be a celebrity hair stylist!!

4.  I can't wait to see soooo many movies!  Let me just list them to you.

~~Horrible Boss: Feat. Jason Bateman (love him), Ryan Reynolds (yum), Jennifer Aniston (love her, too).  It looks HILARIOUS.

~~Transformers 3 Dark of the Moon: Feat. Lots of people.  Let me just say, Sydni LOVES Transformers.  Her favorite is Bumble Bee.  When I took her to see the second one and she thought Optimus had died, she turned to me and whispered, "umm, okay we can go now.  I don't want to see the rest."  When I told her that it wasn't going to end with Optimus dying she said, "oh...okay!  We can stay!"

~~Bad Teacher: Feat. Cameron Diaz (eh), Jason Segel (LOVE!), and Justin Timberlake (surprisingly enjoyable as an actor).  Again, a comedy....my favs.

~~Cars 2: Okay, who didn't loves Cars 1??  I did!!!!  That's the only reason I need to have to see the second one!

~~The Smurfs: Feat. Neal Patrick Harris (Love him!), Katy Perry, and George Lopez.  I watched the Smurfs growing up and LOVED them!

~~Happy Feet 2: Again, who didn't love Happy Feet 1????  The music was AWESOME, and Happy Feet was a.d.o.r.a.b.l.e.

~~The Muppets: 2 words- Jason Segel.  Enough said.

~~The Vow: Feat. Channing Tatum (o.m.g) and Rachel McAdams (Love her).  Seriously...sappy Notebook like romance??  OF COURSE!  Watch the trailer.  I'm seriously obsessed.  I love those Notebook/Dear John/P.S I Love You squishy movies.

Wow, maybe this post should've just been about movies!  HA!

One last thing.  Sydni is having a sleepover this weekend with a total of 6 girls! OMG.  Am I crazy?????  I hope I survive!

Liam is 7 months old!

I'm posting late!!  Liam turned 7 months on June 4th.  I can't believe it is going by so fast!

-I don't have Liam's weight this month :-(

-He is still an awesome sleeper.  He goes to bed between 6-7pm and sleeps until the same time the next morning!

-Not only has he mastered army crawling.  He is now a full-on real crawler!!!  YAY LIAM!

-He's also learned to sit himself up from a crawling position.  I thought maybe because he was such a big boy he would have trouble, but he proved me wrong!

- He has such a weird eating pattern recently.  He eats 7oz at his morning feeding.  Then between 10:30-11am he eats fruit, cereal and 3-5oz.  Then he eats again between 2-3pm and he will eat veggies, cereal and a 3-5 oz bottle.  And between 5:30-6pm he eats a 7oz bottle and fruit.  Sometimes he will have pear yogurt for a snack and of course water throughout the day.

-He now eats apples/prunes, prunes, apples/bananas/pears, apples/vanilla/mixed grain, pears, squash, sweet potatoes, carrots, peas, and green beans.  But he doesn't like green beans. He didn't like peas at first either, but now he does.  He's also tried little puffy gerber snacks.  He didn't like the sweet potato flavor, but he likes the banana ones!

-He's a stroller boy these days.  We just use the umbrella stroller whenever we run errands.  It's so much easier than carrying the big guy.  

-He has this new thing where he talks with his mouth shut.  It sounds so funny! 

-He is such a sister's boy!  He LOVES Syd so much.  She can make him laugh all the time.  She can get him to stop crying anytime.  I'm so happy they love each other so much!

-He's obsessed with remote controls!  If he sees one, he's there in .5 seconds!

-He still takes 2 naps a day.  He naps around 12pm between 30 minutes to an hour.  And he naps around 4 for about the same amount of time.  Sometimes in his crib, and sometimes he falls asleep on me in the big chair and I put him in his pack and play. 

-He is wearing 18-24 month, 2t clothes as well as 3t and 4t jammies.  Love my chubby bubby.

-He wears a size 5 diaper!!!  AHHH!  He better potty train early or he'll be squeezing in those diapers!

-He still is a binkie baby.  For now that's fine.  Hopefully we can break him of it when we need to!

-His hair is getting SO LONG!!!!!  He has WAY more hair than Sydni had when she was 1!

- We're still working on the sippy cup and him holding it and a bottle!

-He loves spending time outside.

- He is starting to stand up!!!!!!

- No shots this month!

Oh the things I have running through my head

First of all let me just say....when am I going to find a freaking job?!??!  I have been job searching FOREVER.  And I've applied for probably 50 teaching positions and I haven't even gotten an interview.  I must have the worst resume in the world.  Did I mention that this is at the front of my mind everyday!?  Luckily, I don't need a job financially for our family right now, but it would be nice to get one....I'd like the extra money, I'd like to put my degree to use, and it would be nice to be paying for my student loans for a reason!!  So...anyways....I just applied for a job that I REALLY want....so shoot your nice thoughts this way and let's hope that I at least get an interview.

Second...my baby big girl is.....well...a big girl!!!!!!!!!!!!  Tomorrow is her last day of Kindergarten.  Her "graduation" was yesterday and she was also recognized for having outstanding character and being a great student and friend to her classmates.  Her class voted, and she won!  There was only one student from each class that got the recognition.  I'm one proud momma.  Let's just stay...those statistics can eat it because this teen mom (and teen dad) did an AMAZING job raising an AMAZING daughter.  So boo!  Yes, I was patting my self on the back and rightly so I think.

Next....my other baby is growing up so fast!!  He'll be 7 months this week!!!  I can't even wrap my brain around it.  I feel like it was yesterday that I was trying to keep him in as long as possible!  Guess that means I'll be ready for #3 in a few years!  HA!  We'll see!!

I've also been thinking about next weekend.  Jimmy and I will be celebrating our 6th Wedding Anniversary...but not in a typical way.  Next weekend is also my grandparents joint memorial service in Iowa, where they will have a burial service....on my wedding anniversary (June 11).  It's a little weird, because I want to be excited for that day, but I'll also be so sad, too.  Whenever I think about going to Iowa, I'm like "Oh yay!  I get to see Grandma and Grandpa!  They'll be so excited to see the kids!"  And then I'm like....oh wait...  Ugh.  Such a weird feeling.

Well.  I think that will catch everyone up on my thoughts lately.  I will be posting again soon for Liam's 7 month!!
