No more bottle, No more crawling - Taking it Easy

I am showing you happy pictures, when they all are smiling and having fun, watching a show, thanks to my iPhone, my laptop is perfect entertainment.  My brother also downloaded the Cars movie for us, my kids can watch that 24/7.  My baby is hanging out in the back drinking directly from his bottle, so excited.  I am obsessed with glass bottles, www.lifefactory.com has a rubber cover that so far has prevented it from breaking.  The baby bottles come with a nipple attachment as well as sippy cup attachments, which I bought,and he refuses to use.  I never really wanted him to sippy cup, mostly for my convenience, third kid and all.  So I was teaching him how to drink directly from a cup and bottle as much as I can.  When we were in Atlanta when he threw his bottle down, the plastic on top cracked, so that was goodbye nipple, he was a little mad with the transition, didn't like the sippy cup, and went directly to drinking directly from the cup - YAY!  A little bit of spills here and there, but overall he really got it, so awesome, now it has a top and converts directly into a water bottle - Woo Hoo - the joys of parenthood and babyhood.  He is also giving up crawling, and the walking cracks him up, he is so excited to see the world from a different view, and I am excited he won't have constantly dirty hands that go directly in his mouth.

So we got home super late last night, in between the happy episodes you see above, we get a lot of bored, whiny, crying, screaming, and fighting fun.  I put a show on for my kids and the baby is taking a nap.  We are taking it easy today, have friends coming over for dinner, we are putting a chicken in the oven, and they are bringing salads and desert, soooo excited to have guests.

We have been non stop, and are planning our trip after Miami, it is kind of crazy to drive to New Jersey and New York just for lunch and dinner, but for me its about seeing family and friends that I might not get to see again for a long time, and I am lucky to have my professional driver husband, without him none of this would be possible.

I want him to get his rest and strength because its going to be intense, right after New York we are going back our way, and most of the week will be on the road, God Help Us.  I love chilling, hanging, relaxing, the kids not so much.

Have a fabulous weekend everyone,
Shabbat Shalom
