4 Months Old!


C-dog is now 4 months old! (August 28th!)
(yes, tyler starting calling her C-dog, and now I catch myself calling her that all the time, how awful is that? Lucy even said the other day, 'Hey, C-gog!" shoot.)

Can you even believe I'm posting this picture without a bow on her little bald head?
I'm pretty sure she had just pooped all over everything and is now wearing the back-up jammies I keep in my diaper bag.

Anywho. Clara is just the sweetest little girl ever. I know I keep saying that, but she is such a little sweetie! She seriously smiles every time someone looks at her, and is such a good sweet little babe.

Here are her stats from Dr. Doug's office last week:

Weight: 14 lbs 5 oz- 67%
Height: 24.5 inches- 60%
Head: 41.6 cm- 68%

She isn't really that fat, but she is so chunky and has so many rolls I just love it! She has the most amazing chubby cheeks, and is just so soft and cuddly. I love my chunky babies.

Clara is now finishing off the rest of her size 2 diapers, and I am now buying size 3! I'm definitely moving up in size quicker this time around, because well- we don't like to have blow outs almost everyday like I did with Lucy. Apparently I didn't get the hint before-- blow outs = need bigger diapers! at least most of the time anyway....

Clara is still an excellent nurser, and eats so so fast. She nurses about every 3 hours during the day, and at night usually goes down about 9pm, and eats around 5-7am again. She loves her sleep, and frequently naps throughout the day. I still have no idea if she has any sort of schedule because we have been so busy playing this summer, but I try to usually at least put her down while little Lucy is sleeping.

We love you miss Claire-Bear! I never ever want her to grow up. Period.

it's me! I'm back. I have missed writing, so here I am. writing. so very much has happened since I first began this blog back in 2008! ah! almost 10 years ago. Time has seriously flown. I feel like I am a completely different person, and yet still exactly the same. Maybe just a little more perspective? That's a good thing right!? our family is still living the dream up here in North Dakota. We thought we were maybe coming up here for a year, and five and a half years later..... here we are! our kids have truly grown up here. Lucy is eight. Yes, eight! She has gotten to tall and gangly. She is wild and free, full of light, and joyful. Clara is six. She is full of FIRE, spice, and quite a bit of sass. She is fiercely loyal, tender, and a snuggler. Rex is a year and a half of craziness. He is so sweet, all over the place, and such a cute kid. He has his mama wrapped around his little chubby sticky finger! Tyler is the most incredible father, the world's best husband, and k...

money.

currently- i hate money. first and foremost: i am happy. truly happy. we live in a wonderful apartment, we both have good jobs, tyler gets to go to school, and we have the most adorable daughter. I really couldn't ask for anything more. but. money is stressful. insurance is stressful. even though i really wouldn't want our lives any other way right now... i look forward to the day when we are no longer poor. i KNOW by that time we will have plenty of other problems... but i would like to have some financial security to know that we could have another baby right now if we wanted it. and not worry about how we would pay for the doctors bills, and insurance once he/she gets here. we're told to 'multiply and replenish the earth' right? its not looking very possible for quite sometime. i wish maybe i could go back to school someday in the near future and maybe one day have a dishwasher and buy lucy an outfit from gap every once in a while... =) and maybe being able to af...

STG 26.2

i did it!  4 hours and 34 minutes.... i am so so glad it's over, and that I did it! here's my dad and I at the finish- he kicked my butt of course, 3:12 was his time. Not bad for 50! so the race went really well, and I did as well as I could have hoped! I have been training since the beginning of June, so only 4 months. After the half I did in August I hurt my IT band, so I took 3 weeks off of training to let that heal up the best I could! I am a little competitive, so I know that if I trained longer, did more cross training, etc.. that I could totally run it faster, but for my first one, I did the best I could! I ended up running the entire race with my dad's good friend's little sister, and her best friend--- Deon, and Ashley. I think I really would have been like way slower if I hadn't been running with them the whole race. I really need to get some more running buddies, because it's so much easier to run with someone!  Here's ashl...
