Man oh man, I know I sound like a broken record but where the hell did this year go!! I bet if you look at my blogs from previous New Years (and too bad its FEB 24th bwhahahaha I obvi started this post over a month a go) they all start off with that same sentence! It’s crazy how much you can fit into a year but feel like just yesterday we were bring in 2011 thinking man we have a whole year! And then in a blink of an eye we are back at Billy Bonny’s ready to bring in another year. “We have been coming to the same party for 10 years and in no way is that depressing” hahahaha. Once again god has blessed my family with another successful year, I mean not without our fair share of bumps in the roads or in my case trees in the windshield! But we were also blessed with a couple of births of some pretty perfect babies, news of expecting friends and family, and people getting married. Just an all around good year. So obvi I’ve been super bad about blogging lately! And I blame it mostly on actually having to work and a couple of minions that take up any spare time I have, which I can’t complain about because they are pretty RAD, well most of the time!
My wild man Luke is getting crazier by the day and is talking up a storm! He’s all boy for sure, and enjoys a good punch fest along with a good old fashion sword fight. I made him watch My Lil Ponies the other day to try and tone his testosterone down a bit but that lasted a whole 3.5 seconds before he was jump kicking on my bed with a shield, a moms gotta try right?!? He loves to run around with his batman cape on and save the world but not before he reminds you “don’t worry mom I’m not batman I’m just a guy” hahaha I don’t know where he comes up with half this stuff but he’s always cracking Josh and I up! He finally gave in and has started to use the big boy potty and I can’t be more proud! It was a battle of battles but I couldn’t back down and used some old school techniques that were not popular with everyone but I know my lil Lukie is stubborn as shit just like his momma. I had tried candy, singing, stickers, books, man I even let him roam the house with no diaper on hoping he would feel weird when it was time to go and want to use the toilet, nah he just found a vent! So we were down to our last box of free diapers form Ryde’s baby shower and there was no way I was buying 2 sets of diapers so it was now or go on well fare hahaha so thankfully he came around and was helping keep a lil more change in moms pocket! He’s still an awesome big brother and loves his baby bro! Whenever Ryde is crying he’ll come over and pat his chest and say “its ok Baby Ryde Lukie’s here” it’s pretty much the most precious thing ever as you can imagine. He finally got a hair cut, which you guessed it, we both cried through. So I watched this you YouTube video of this mom that writes a blog that I follow, cut her sons hair and after I was thinking to myself, “shiiittttt, I can totally do that” hahaha famous last words right?!?! What I didn’t take in to account somehow is that during this women’s video her lil angel baby was just sitting there the whole time so still. Yeah well, Luke and I’s experience was a lil different to say the least. So I take him upstairs and sat him on his step stool and get out Josh’s clippers. So I started off with a little bribing of course before I clicked on the clippers thinking it would distract him from the noise they make. Yeah right!! He immediately starts crying and saying it hurts it hurts and I haven’t even picked them up yet! So I knew right away that the only way we were getting through this is with a lot of tears and promises ;) My plan of attack was to just get it all one length and then worry about the “fade” if you will after that. Well about 45 seconds into it I scrapped that plan and just wanted to get it all one length before Luke hyperventilated from crying the whole time haha. About 20 mins later it was “mostly” all one length and I had heard enough crying to last me a month so we wrapped it up. 2 weeks later I’m still asking if we can clean it up a little bit and he says “no way, not fair” every time. So I’m reminded of why I like to keep his hair shaggy!!
My lil Ryde pants is big as all hell and is already growing out of some of his 12 month clothes at not even 9 months yet! So I have had to pull out the 18 month gear already and pack up the 9 month old stuff, and you guessed it, cried like a baby. Arg I’m going to have to get a second job or sell that kidney I’ve been talking about just to feed him! But every time I change his diaper and see those cute baby thunder thighs I remember it’s all worth it! I’m sad that it is winter and we are not able to show them off on a daily basis but I’m not sure people could handle how cute they are ;) He’s totally crawling now and is all over the place, he’s even pulling himself up onto the couch and wants to climb on you if you are sitting on the ground with him. He’s getting better about being my picky eater. For the last 5 month he would eat nothing but sweet potatoes, nothing else, he would just spit anything else out. But as of lately he’s been basically eating anything you put in front of him as I think he’s just hungry all the time so he’ll take whatever he can get. He loves these little rice rusk things that look like a baby rice cakes, because he can feed himself, and is starting to be able to get the puffs from his fingers to his mouth and not lose them in the transition. We unfortunately are still dealing with his enlarged kidney stuff and he went in for his 7 month check up and his left one has actually gotten worse form his 3 month check so we are waiting to hear from a specialist now to figure out a game plan. His Doctor doesn’t seem overly concerned yet so I’m not going to worry too much about it, SIKE! Err I was just really hoping it would just go away on its own but that would just be too easy wouldn’t, as you can tell I’m staying super positive about this hahahaha. On a happier note it doesn’t seem to bother him so that’s a plus and hopefully we can get this taken care of soon. He is a crazy sleeper in his crib and I find myself going in multiple times a night just to make sure he’s sleeping on his back which 85% of the time he’s not. So now that he’s mobile he fights sleep because he would rather romp around in his crib then lay down. So he’s been having to cry it out a bit more lately. I cant believe how fast its going this time around!
I do plan on getting pics up of Halloween, yeah I said it Halloween, and Christmas and some others randoms here and there, but who knows I might be lying ;) Maybe Ill just do a good old fashion picture montage soon. Well here is to a new year and new adventures with these 3 dudes and a chick!
