I mean is it REALLY January 18th????!
So I am so far behind that I thought I would just do 50, yes 50 FUN updates for Friday. ;) I am still trying to figure out the inability to upload pics, but I will try to put our fun month...almost TWO months into a little fun list of words. ;)...in a VERY random order. Kinda whatever comes to my head.
1. Liam is THREE!
2. The day after Liam's 3rd bday he decided to go poo-poo on the potty. Candy canes were the RANDOM reward that worked so we just hope that they sell them all year round and that we have really really good dental insurance.
3. We did many fun Christmas activities in December such as The Polar Express in Grapevine on December 1st, Santa pics (more on that later) on the 6th at the Galleria, Trains at Northpark that Friday, and visited some reindeer in Fairview the following weekend. LOTS of fun trips out to dinner with the fam (no really they WERE fun somehow!) and tons of festivous. Great memories for all!!!
4. Santa pics were quite interesting. Long story short Rowan was NOT having it and since Liam was not feeling well that day, he decided to join in the scream fest and we echoed through the mall until mama jumped in. ;) Love my sweet babies. They just need their mommy. ;) AND I LOVE THAT!!!
5. Our computer broke (which is another reason why I have not updated because I am WAYYY too tired at night to use Rick's work computer).
6. We ordered a new computer--Google Chrome--might I say Rick's pick ;) and that one broke too so we are waiting yet again for another brand new one. Hence, I am on Rick's work computer right now.
7. Rowan is talking and talking and talking. 2 word phrases...for real! At 15 months!
8. Rowan is ADDICTED to her ba-bas and pacis. Probably my fault, but #1 she is too cute when she has both and #2 I am enjoying this baby stuff for as long as I can. Another reason we MUST have good dental, huh? ;)
9. Sidenote on the ba-bas...we really did try to get rid of them. For like 3 days at the SAME time Liam did poo poo on the potty. Thought we may have success for all...nope. She did not drink a SINGLE thing for almost 3 days (a little water and MANY pouches she was using as liquid I think). Stubborn much??? Um, yes. After a few dry diapers, mama could not take it and gave in. She will have them in Kindergarten I think! ;)
10. Pacis are less and less but it amazes me how she talks behind it. Again, probably herendous for her teeth but can quite think about it.
11. My sister had her baby on 12-12-12. Carson Lee Sprout is the cutest munchkin ever!!!
12. Rowan and I (as long as we are healthy) are flying to MD to see our newest family member one week from today!!!!!
13. I registered for my first half marathon on April 6th after taking a 4 month hiatus from running. I am up to 6 miles easily after just 1.5 weeks of training so I feel very hopeful I will cross the finish line. Actually, cannot wait.
14. Rick is doing great at work. Got an extra bonus which was so exciting!
15. Using the extra bonus, we have plans to rearrange the house a bit and create a make shift media room upstairs in our fifth bedroom.
16. The 5th bedroom is where we sleep right now so we plan to move our bedroom downstairs (BIG deal for us northerners) and the playroom to the dining room and the loft. Hope to be complete by June! ;)
17. Liam started his new school. He is receiving Speech Therapy through FISD on M/W 10:50-1:50 (an still seeing "Miss Shu-shan on T/Th at St. Francis from 9-2). He LOVES it!
18. Liam went his first day. He came home with a cough. And ended up with a cold on his second day and stayed home to rest.
19. Rowan got the stomach flu on my birthday (which was the next day)...yep, AT my bday dinner. At home THANK GOD but it was pizza and it was VERY VERY YUCKY!!!!!
20. It was our first time dealing with the stomach flu and we ALL got it.
21. Mommy got it the day after her bday.
22. Daddy got it the day after that.
23. And Liam went down the day after that (during the Baltimore Ravens playoff game...not the way Rick planned on watching the game....chasing around a 3 year old with a blue trash can that has apparently scarred him for life. Well, both of them.)
24. Liam wakes up every morning and says "No blue trash can mommy." SO happy for a 5 word phrase, but the poor guy will never forget it. ;) I must state we were SO healthy all of the Fall and he only missed one day at St. Francis...probiotics I tell ya!!!!
25. Ok, so I have only gotten to 25 but I at least feel like I am a BIT caught up. Minus pictures which frustrates me, but it is what it is.
Happy New Year to all!!!! We look forward to an awesome 2013!
