Saturdays

Just laying around enjoying our lazy Saturday.

Happy Grandparents Day!!!

Happy Grandparents and Great Grandparents Day!!!! We love you all!!!!

Labor Day Weekend

Our Labor Day Weekend consisted of lots of labor. Dr. picked up four shifts this weekend to make a little mooola for the bank. He is working so hard to pay our home insurance and property tax..... that is due at the beginning of next year. It is so nice to know it is already in savings so we don't have to rely on tax refunds. Granna and BobBob drove up to help with little man since Dr. was working the night shift. I had planned on doing my cooking for September this weekend. I was able to go to the store and get some things in the freezer. Chuck is still at an age where it is impossible to go shopping. He won't stay in his car seat and he is not big enough to sit up on his own yet so I am out of options at this point. I think in about 2 weeks we will be able to ride in a cart without the possibility of falling over.

I thought Chuck might be taking too much formula especially since he is eating twice a day so I was trying to take away his mid day bottle which was replaced with fruits or veggies. He was sleeping really well before I switched him up and now he is waking up for another bottle at night. So it hasn't really cut down on anything. I don't think you are supposed to replace formula with veggies until 9 months so I may just let him keep his bottle. Maybe I will try and make them a little smaller. He seemed to be happy so, again, I will let him decide. He has made the decision on the rest of his schedule. I think they are supposed to have 2 oz for every pound..... um, he is large but I guess you shouldn't put a baby on a diet so little man is going to get whatever he wants.... unless he happens to sleep really well tonight! I don't really know why I tried to through a speed bump in his schedule since he was doing so well. I guess I just needed some more stress in my life.

Here are some quick pics from the weekend:

A cold front came in this weekend and it was 56 one morning!

It will be perfect to throw on for the ride to school every morning.

Chilling on a blanket in the front yard.... well in Ms. Gingers front yard since we don't have any trees for shade. No, we still can't tame that hair.

More mold

The guy on this video retired and I got his job when he retired.

Back up and running

We are back up and running at the Mississippi Weber household! Our AC got fixed today and it is pumping some great cool air into the house! So glad the part did not come in on Thursday.. that would have been a long wait. The guy even called to ask what I wanted him to set the AC on so it would be cool for me and little man when we got home! We are so thankful that Dr. is able to pick up extra shifts when things like this happen. We miss daddy when he has to work over the weekends since that is the only time he gets to see us but we know he is hard at work making sure we are taken care of. Dr. has the first two weeks of September off but he has already picked up about 6 shifts to work during his vacation!

It is ashame that today was Monday. Chuckers showed off while company was here and made it look like he was a good sleeper and napper. As soon as they left, he reverted to his newborn stage where he wanted to eat every 2-3 hours and then every time laid him down on his back, he would scream. Maybe we are just going through a growth spurt and I am sure being home from daycare throws him off his schedule. I think Chuck may be getting a little "mama's boy syndrome". He has started to whine when I go behind the shower curtain and is also starting to be picky about who puts him to bed. I am glad he goes to daycare and doesn't have mommy doing everything for him. Chuck rolled over for the second time today.... no I didn't get it on video because I didn't think he would do it because he was so tired. We have also been working extremely hard on sitting up by ourselves and we are making huge progress!!!!

Like I said, Dr. has picked up some shifts so it looks like he will be working Friday through Monday. I will have a long weekend due to Labor Day so the Chuckman and I might go to Mobile or Mobile may come to us so we won't be alone for four days while daddy brings home the bacon.

What a weekend!

Well, we had an exciting weekend. We rolled over for the first time from our back to our stomach!!!! The doctor said it would happen in the 5th month and we did it at 5 months and 4 days! We didn't get it on video because mom just didn't think he would actually do it. He hasn't done it again so it may be a while before the video shows up here on the blog!

We also had some company. Marmee, Poppy, Two Mommy, and Paka Nick drove all the way from Texarkana to visit us for a night. We had so much fun! It took a little while to get used to the crowd but by the end we were laughing and smiling like crazy. Chuckmiester ate dinner as late as he could so he could take a bath and have our good night bottle later and spend more time with everyone. We may have waited a little bit too long because we fell asleep while Poppy was burping little man!

Marmee is so much fun.

These people wear me out!!

On a much different note, our AC also broke. Luckily, it shuts down right before it over heats so once it cools down, I can turn it back on. So, I am supposed to check the AC every 30 minutes ( um, WHAT!!) just to make sure the fan hasn't stopped spinning. The part is ordered. It could be anywhere from Monday to Thursday before it comes in. We will just turn the AC off during the day while we are gone and turn it on at night. Chuckster wouldn't go to sleep tonight because he was uncomfortable. He finally went to sleep three hours late once the air was back on and it had cooled off a little bit.

Anyways, thats that. Adios for now.
