nicholas just keeps growing. he's out of his 3mo clothes but in limbo cause his 3-6mo clothes are still too big and same thing with his diapers! he's in size 2 diapers now and weighs over 14lbs. he's quite a handful to carry around already and he's not even 2 mos old yet! anyways kris submitted his reenlisment packet and hopefully we'll hear something by the end of the fall or he'll have to extend until next may to hear back from his 2nd and 3rd choices. we are looking into getting a bigger family car cause my little acura isn't cutting it anymore. kris so his charger so we'll save money since he doesn't drive it half the time. he's away more than he's ever home to drive that thing. so now my car is his daily driver and i get a new car. but that can't come soon enough! having a car is awesome but i'm so used to having my car paid off that tacking on a car payment just isn't very appealing right now. plus a rise in our insurance cause of a new car. penny pinching is awesome but you gotta give some to get some.

my 2 favorite boys in the whole wide world :D

sometimes i wonder if nicholas thinks i'm a good mom. i don't understand all his cries or cues so i hope he's a happy baby. if babies never laugh or smile how do you know they're happy?

a wk ago we got a new dog named hannah and she is a greyhound lab mix.

she is the color of a yellow lab with a giant lab head on a tiny skinny greyhound body. the most comical looking thing but also the sweetest dog.

she avoids nick and when i bring nick to her she sniffs him a couple of times then retreats. it's like she's scared of him lol... i think it's his crying that makes her weary of him sometimes lol cause nick will cry and hannah will grunt and go back to napping.
nick is 12.5lbs now and growing.


he also hasn't slept much in the last 24hrs or so and right now he's been asleep for right over an hour or so and thank goodness cause his crying was finally starting to get to me. he's fed, clean, bathed and is rocked in my arms 24/7 yet he's still crying. i think he might be very constipated since he's been on strictly formula cause i have laryngitis and my medicine doesn't allow me to breastfeed for 10days. it's day 3 and i think all the formula is making him cranky.. poor baby. kris was nice enough to get me amaretto creamer for coffee that i never drink and make me brownies with cookies baked in on top of them! talk about delish! my lack of sleep doesn't also help much with me wanting to pick up the house. finally got to field daying the house today and it felt so good to have everything spic and span with everything in place.




i definitely need some sleep and lots of make up!!
