What's been going on 'round here lately...

I like this pic because Winter is smiling. Emerald couldn't stop her tea party for the pic! :)Soooo... (it seems that is how I start all my blogs when it's been awhile since I have written)
Our little baby Winter is now 3.5 months old and chubby as ever. We weighed her a few days ago and she was 14 pounds 9 oz!!! It's hard to believe how fast she is growing up and becoming her own little person. She really is a great baby. For the first two months she was fairly fussy and I held her in the Ergo (BEST thing EVER) or in my arms constantly. I thought there was probably something I was eating that was affecting her tummy. Well, when we went to Flordia for the week I didn't have any soy and as soon as we returned it was like we had a new baby!! No more crying and fussiness!! I'm very thankful it was fairly easy to figure out what was upsetting her and the relief she needed came quickly after the soy was out of my diet.
Winter is very sweet. she loves to smile and laugh her little baby laugh. She is about 2 seconds from rolling over! She will roll to her side but she hasn't quite made it all the way over to her tummy yet. I also believe she is teething already. Emerald was three months old when she started. Her first tooth didn't pop through until 5 months, but Winter constantly has her little fingers in her mouth and she is drooling like crazy! She is just a great joy to have around and I am always wishing she would stay little and cuddly.
Big sis Emerald is doing great as well. She loves all things hats and shoes! One of her favorite things to do is stand in front of the mirror in her room and try on various hats and shoes. She is def. a girl! It is very cute to see. Also, she has recently loved going down slides at the park. She had been scared before, but now that's all she wants to do! It's really fun seeing her grow up and try and discover new things. She loves her little sis and 90% of the time she loves and kisses on her, but she does have those times she pushes her away because she wants mommy all to herself. Overall, I think she has adjusted well and we are hoping they will be great friends growing up!
Sam is doing well. Busy as ever. Going to school, working and the Army keep him going all the time! He just joined the gym again and has been working out with our neighbor, Chris, every morning. Every chance he gets he is running another 5k or road race and I am really hoping this is the year we can both run a FULL marathon together...we will see...
I have been pretty busy myself. I am also taking classes online. I am really enjoying my Anthropology class and wish I had more time to delve into it. I'm still working on my doula certification as well. I have had the opportunity to attend three births, but I still need one more for my certification. Like I said before, we just re-joined the gym so my physical goals include a marathon this year, but I am going to pace myself and see how things go!
We have had a few visitors lately. Sam's brother, David and Fred came to visit not too long ago. Emerald just ADORED David and he ended up being like my personal nanny while he was here. I WISH they were closer!! Then just this last week, my Aunt and Uncle Tracey and Tracy came from MN to see us. It had been ten years and we had a wonderful time with them while they were here. One of my favorite parts was when my Aunt Tracey was telling Sam what a perfect child I was growing up. :) TOLD YA! We are also looking forward to seeing my older sister, Jen and my niece Megan in a few weeks. Jen hasn't met either of the girls, so I can't wait to introduce them!
Overall life is crazy hectic, but good. :) We are so thankful for the many blessings we have received and look forward to many more.
