Bennett has been such a doll! He is officially seven months old and getting bigger by the minute. Last night I tried to put on his 12-month sleep n play, and it was as tight as casing a sausage. Bennett is clearly eating well, lots and lots of formula as well as two servings of solids a day. He isn't crawling just yet, but rolling around, scooting, and sitting beautifully by himself (no help needed - at all)! B-bear has turned into such a happy little baby! He loves to play in his exersaucer, take showers with daddy, play with his toys, and read his books. He is almost always happy, smiling, laughing, and chatting!
*side note - what we thought was his ringworm was not - it was just a very, very bad case of his eczema. It is almost all gone, and his skin is finally as beautiful as it should be!
Goob has been wonderful as well!! Kaeden officially started second grade today. Last week, we had a "meet the teacher" night, where Jae, myself, and Kaeden all went to meet his teacher (Mrs. Butchert), see his new classroom, desk, and locker. Now that he is in second grade, he is located on the second floor - it's a big deal. The goobster is starting to come out of his shell. He loves being goofy, he's climbing nearly everything (last night I saw him climb our walls... it was crazy), and he has started to enjoy going to the park and meeting new friends.
*Kaeden's quote of the week: "I'm going to get you in the legs and butt ocks! Do you like that? I just made up a new word!" (referring to butt ocks... yes... he pronounced it as two words) Silly goon.
I have been crazier than ever. Work has been changing drastically in a really great way - I am enjoying my new tasks more than ever! - however, that also means that I have been working much longer hours than I normally do. In addition to the longer hours, I had spent most of the month studying for my GMAT; it paid off! I got a really good score and plan on applying to business school to begin class in the spring semester! I am really looking forward to going back, but also nervous as to the time commitment it entails (and what that means in regards to being with my family). Hoping it pays off!
As for Jae - he has been so great. As I have been studying and working, Jae has been doing so much with the kids, around the house, and all-in-all being very supportive. It has been amazing.
