- On Tuesday I signed Isla up for swimming lessons in January! I’m hoping she’ll love the water and consider it 100x more awesome than her baths. Now the only thing that has to happen is for me to get over my enormous distaste for public pools.
- As a result of me signing Isla up for lessons, I had to buy a new bathing suit because my boobs got huge due to breastfeeding. After hating everything in the swim wear store here, I ended up ordered off of Victoria’s Secret’s website. I’m really hoping it fits; I very rarely order clothes off the interwebs, especially swim wear or anything like that. Fingers crossed!
- Campbell has been eating the dead pine needles off of the floor from the Christmas tree, which has resulted in him having EXTREMELY smelly farts. It’s gross and nasty and he acts like it’s no big deal.
- Isla is slowly getting her balance figured out and as a result, she’s starting to sit up on her own a bit better. I sat her in front of her little play piano the other day and she really liked banging away at the “keys.” See for yourself:
- Kyle and I have already been discussing how many more children we’d like to have. Ideally, I think I want a boy and a girl, but part of me would like three kids.Right now I think the “plan” is to have a second kid and if it’s a boy, that’s it. If it’s another girl, we’ll try one more time for a boy. If it’s a girl – too bad, we’re done. Who knows. You all probably think I’m crazy for already talking about more kids since Isla is only 5 months old.
- I can’t believe Christmas is less than two weeks away! We’re having all of our family (well, the majority of our family) over for dinner, so there will be 12 people + Isla crammed into our living room for Christmas dinner on the 29th. Why the 29th instead of Christmas Day? Well, the menfolk in the family all work at the same location and on three different shifts. So, the 29th is the only day when we can all get together so Kyle and I can avoid having 4 different Christmas dinners. And while we’re not running around town having 4 Christmas dinners, I’m sure the one at our house will be just as chaotic!
- My mom and step-dad put an offer on a house in Kamloops and it was accepted – pending sale of their own if it happens within 2 months. I’m a little sad that my mom may be moving “down the hill” and a good 10-15 minute drive away from me. Right now she’s a 5 minute walk away, and it’s been really convenient having her so close. Part of the reason why Kyle and I bought the house we’re in is because my mom was so close – not that we’re going to throw ours on the market and follow them down to Kamloops’ “banana belt.” But – it is a nice house. Still – I’m not-so-secretly hoping that their place doesn’t sell.
