Weekly review: Mid January

I’m so living life again. We are finally back to a normal routine. Don’t get me wrong i still go crazy with our new normal,but nothing big or major is happening, which is good. Winter has officially arrived so we are back to staying in the house pretty much all the time. Bella goes out with Josh for tractor rides or to hang out in the barn since it’ about 40’s in there. I tend to go out during the day for little errands. Max likes to sleep in his car seat if the car is moving. Sometimes i leave Max at home for a short time with Josh and do something with just Bella. Mommy and Bella time is pretty limited these days.  We have been attempting to do more family stuff too, like going with Josh on the hunt for some farm equipment he’s looking for.  Otherwise i spend my days trying to get caught up around the house, Max might be little but he sure has added to my laundry load.

Max and Bella before Bella got to go out with Daddy while Mommy headed to Madison

 

Max meeting Noah. They are about 7 weeks apart.

PJ day

 

Bella loves horses

 

Barn time fun

 

Cows, our barn is now full!

This is princess and mole.

 

THey only way i get her to look is if i tell her something is behind me.

Bella playing with snow. It was melty so it was good packing snow

 

  

We see a lot more smiles these days

 

Me and my future pioneer

two months old

    

My girl playing with her toys. She recently earned them back by pooping on the potty. Our last hurdle before she will be 100% daytime potty trained. NIghttime is not even a worry until this mommy gets more sleep

  

Max wearing some hand me downs.. One of my favorite pictures of Dylan are in this outfit

 

I got out one of the musical toys for max. He loves the lights and the mirror on the side. He was talking to that “other” baby.

 

Apparently the swing was moving to fast for Max, as he was holding on while napping.

 

Josh’s first pass with the blade the day we got at least 8 inches of snow.

Yes there are cows outside. those are the dry cows. No I don’t like them out there, but their shelter is the trees and they choose to stand waiting to get into the yard. BTW PETA people are trying to make this happen for all our cows in the winter.

Winter anyone?

I’m slowly getting back into cloth diapering. THis diaper was custom made for Max since he’s my little bee. :) thank you Sarah!!

  

After a really explosive poopy diaper, Max got a bath. He really enjoyed it this time. I got smart and made sure the only water touching him was from the washcloth. Before his back/butt was getting wet and he wasn’t a fan

 

I got out the bumbo chair for Max. At first he wasn’t sure, but then he gave me smiles. He lasted a whole 5 mins before he was done.

Weekly Review LONG PICTURE POST

So it’s been a long week.  I think over eating Super Bowl Sunday, as a bad idea because i just felt out of sorts on Monday. I did mange to get all the laundry done, so that was the perk :)  Tuesday and Wednesday we had fun going to playgroup and Storytime. Little did i realize that storytime was going to start back up. I was so happy! At the library they had a mini book sale and so we came up with a bunch of new board books! Thursday we had fun to hanging out at home. We played a lot and did a Bella run day! Friday we ran to platteville with Josh and had a good morning. Bella took a nap and woke up not feeling the greatest.  So we had a very quiet afternoon and evening.

I should also mention that Bella has managed to go 12 hours with out an accident, but won’t do it every day. She does one or two really good days and then a day or two of doesn’t care or want to use the potty.

Since I'm not very chatty.. here’s our week in pictures. I hope to get more detail writing soon!

It was a pretty morning over looking the pond

 

Playing in the snow looking for “ice cubes” which translate to icicles

 

Bella was having fun in the tub. A shot of Josh and I.. something we don’t see very often

I taught Bella the game of Light and dark, that my niece Sara use to play at this age. The glass have been handed down from her too.

 

Fun with Anners. Bella loves playing with her these days

 

The sun was shining, so we braved the cold wind for a little time outside.

 

 

Bella and Daddy built a Lego house and added a very tall tower!

 

She loves all the pillows on our bed!
