New year, maybe I can keep up with this...

I am a TERRIBLE blogger!! I was totally hoping I could do a one-a-day post, then I went to once-a-week, now it is once every 5 months-oops!!



Update:

Not much going on-which is why I probably don't blog often :)

Trey is sleeping through the night!! WOOOOOHOOOOO!!!!!!!! He caught RSV in December and became very sick. Within 2.5 weeks-completely fine, it was amazing how fast he got better but we are so thankful. It was really scary for awhile-he even lost consciousness due to a bronchial spasm-very scary to see your baby flop over in the kitchen and be completely out of it. He was put on breathing treatments every 2-3 hours and did amazing!! So after he recovered from the RSV we all decided we need sleep in this house. I did the one thing I said I would never do and let Trey Cry it out-it was HORRIBLE!! First night screams for 70 min., 75 min. the second, the third night 60 min.-then remarkably the fourth night no crying, no fighting-nothing. He played and laughed himself to sleep! I was amazed and finally got a true night's sleep, and we haven't looked back (we had to do this for naps to, and it worked very well, rather quickly.) He now sleep 11-13 hours a night and sleeps 4-6 hours during the day. Things are very different around here since I can see and think straight;)
Trey is still in physical therapy, and just started occupational therapy-he can now stand for 10-20 seconds on his own, will walk if you hold his hand, is completely on table foods and except for his nighttime bottles is taking sippy cups, he laughs constantly, doesn't talk or babble yet-but that will come. He is 29 lbs and 34 inches (I'd have to get his baby book for exact amounts :) so he is a big guy-but totally cute!! I have pictures from his first birthday (although his party was cancelled due to the RSV) and I will post pictures soon-I promise ;)

Ryne is just amazing!! A week before Christmas he was running and fell onto the foot board of my bed and had to get 5 stitches under his eye. He has an AMAZING pain tolerance and didn't cry at all, during the stitches, while it was healing, or removal of the stitches. My brother and Stephan said "now he is a real boy!" He is a total cutie-pie ;) Ryne has also moved through master white belt in karate and is testing tomorrow for yellow belt-he is so excited!!
T-ball starts in Feb. and it is pretty hard core this year, no more playing without keeping score-they go all out now. So we'll see if he loves it as much :) He is done with Soccer season and was SO GOOD, but he didn't like it that much so we will see with that one. He is a natural at it, but we won't push him.
Stephan is now in the Crime Suppression Unit at work and really loves it! He is no longer on road patrol but goes out looking for drug dealers, serving search warrants, and other stuff that I really don't want to hear about sometimes :) I swear does he not know how much a cops wife worries!! He is doing a 3 mile torch run to honor the Special Olympics in May, so he is training for that-he is so cute I cant stand it!!
Me-just hanging out being a mom :) I am doing the best I can, and so far I think I am doing pretty good!! Both the boys are extremely happy and healthy (for the most part) Stephan is happy-so I am happy!! I have started coupon clipping and am saving as much as I am spending-Last grocery bill was $64 and I saved $62.86. Our pantry has never been fuller, but our checking account is not suffering-it is awesome! I feel like I am contributing financially to our household, and it feels pretty good!! I am the room mom for Ryne's pre-K class, and getting involved in a local MOPS group to get Trey more involved with other kids, but with the sports, Stephan working 2pm-2am, Ryne's school, Trey's doctors appointments, and Trey's therapy my schedule is pretty full-but there is always room for more ;)
That is all for now-Trey just woke up from his nap, I'll try and post pictures soon!!
