Three Weeks

Three weeks doesn't seem like that long when you really think about it but in the last three-ish weeks since I last blogged a lot has happened. The biggest of those is Colby got his younger brother a job at the plant he works at. This is his second week working up here. We went down to Kansas two weeks ago and got all his stuff on my parents trailer and brought it back to SD. That was an interesting experience. Their father is so much different than mine. He obviously hasn't had the moving experience that my father has. The move was rough but we made it. Austin, his brother, was staying with us in the playroom. It was working fine as far as we were concerned because with with them working nights I hardly see them. However, when Austin went back to Kansas last weekend, his wife had her gallbladder removed monday, their father told him he should stay at a cheap hotel to get out of our way. No one even asked how we were feeling about him being here and just assumed it was a problem. Well Monday after work he came back to our house with Colby and then grabbed some clothes and stuff and went back into town to stay at a cheap hotel. He didn't tell Colby he was going that night only that their father suggested it. So when I got up he wasn't here and I had no idea where he was. Colby and I were both super pissed that he didn't even say anything to us. It made me feel like he was so ungrateful for us doing everything we have for him. It is pretty irresponsible too. He barely had anything left in his checking account and used all of it to pay for the weeks stay at the hotel. They get paid tomorrow but he still doesn't have anywhere to live. The place he put in an application for isn't available until the end of March. I found a house with the same company but he hasn't heard anything about either place.

Anyways that is the drama going about that. Waylon is growing so fast. He smiles and laughs and sleeps through the night almost all the time. If he does wake up it is usually about 5am. I am putting him in the bebepod some now to help him get into sitting up. Now that he is 3 1/2 months old we are considering when to start him on cereal and then baby food. With Harper we started her just before 3 months old because she was so small. But Waylon has been growing so well he doesn't need the extra calories.

Harper has been doing ok with the potty. These last few weeks she has had a few day where she will have no accidents and then she will have a couple of really bad days where she has 4 or 5 accidents then back to no accidents. I wish she would just have no accidents but she is getting there I think. The good thing is she doesn't have any accidents when we are in town. She always tells us when she has to go even says it when she doesn't have to go. But I think that is so she can get out of where ever we are like the table or the cart at the store. I don't know how to tell if she needs to go or not so we always take her. Another thing she does that can be super cute is she will repeat things we say. Her vocabulary is really expanding. She will repeat me when I tell her what shapes are what and when I saw "Oh Harper", which is so cute. She can also say uncle, grandpa and Waylon along with the normal words. We think she is super smart but we could be kind of biased.

I know this post has gotten really long!! But I just wanted to share my new obsession…pinterest. I know a lot of people are into it. I have gotten so many good ideas off of it. I will try to post some of the recipes I make and LOVE and some of the other money savers, gift ideas and party ideas I find. I am on almost everyday so I find a lot of GREAT stuff. Stay tuned.
