Happy 6 months, sweet Quinn!

I am not sure how it happened, but it appears that Quinn turns 6 months old today! It seems like yesterday I was struggling with sleepless nights and getting the hang of nursing...ok I still get up 2 times a night with him, but it not as long now!

He is still learning to sit up, but can for a few mins at a time with more practice I'm sure he will get the hang of it. He has been trying to crawl for a month now...he just needs to figure out how to move his arms and legs at the same time! He is funny to watch, he rocks back and forth and moves side to side but can't actually go forward yet! He rolls both ways too.

We started him on solids at 5 months. I was trying to hold out until 6 months, but he decided one night to try to DEVOUR Keith's ice cream cup and spoon so he was ready. He started with some rice cereal and seemed to like it. He has since had: applesauce, bananas, oatmeal, sweet potato, avocado(which he wasn't a huge fan of), and carrots. Hopefully he will have more soon. He also has had a mum mum(rice husk) he devours those into nothing!

Soon he will be off running and fighting back against his brother if the next 6 months go just as fast as the first! He is usually a very happy baby and is always nosy! He doesn't like to miss a thing. He is unlike most babies and sleep in his carseat...as soon as the car stops or the seat stops he is wide eyed staring at you! He also won't nap much or for long if he is around other people. All he has to do is bat his extremely long eyelashes and smile with his cute dimples and well your heart just melts!

Happy 6 months my sweet sweet boy!

Preschool at home...

So I've decided that this winter or fall Avery will be attending preschool at least 2 days a week. I used to work at a wonderful program and really want him to get into it. It is more for the socialization and being away from me than the educational aspect, although that will help him too!

Recently, I've been participating in Muffin Tin Monday. So I decided to start doing theme weeks with Avery at home based on her themes. This week is the letter "a" as the monday theme is apples. Well I was supposed to get apples with my groceries this week, but they never came so after Quinn's dr's appt this week we will go get some!

After digging through the ENTIRE box of cookie cutters I finally found the letter "a" and could finally do a craft with Avery. He picked out some paint (yellow and blue) and he used the cookie cutter to make a prints. I also had a cutter for an apple and acorns so he used those too. he discovered that when you mix yellow and blue together you get green. then he grabbed the paint brush and mixed all his beautiful stencil work into nothing...so you can't tell we actually used the cutters.

we then talked about things that start with the letter "a" i was having a hard time coming up with more words, and avery yells out "ANTS" and also his name!

its fun to spend time with just my oldest while the babies nap. I hope to be able to do it 2-3 times a week, more if my creative brain allows and I have the time!

Muffin Tin Monday-Apples

well i decided to order my groceries this week through stop and shop' peapod. I ordered a bag of apples as this week's them is Apples, little did I know that the apples never came until I tried to cook with them last night. So I did what I could with no apples...

So here is what Avery had! The author of this blog had some GREAT ideas! She is so creative!

bananas(for the song "apples and bananas), apple and cinnamon cottage cheese, "a" ginger pancakes, and "a" pb&j. he then also stole my carrots and licked off the ranch dressing.

Not sure WHY I even bother with a bib...

Muffin Tin Monday(posted on wed)

A friend of mine shared with me this blog called, Her Cup Overfloweth. On this blog they had this MARVELOUS idea for Muffin Tin Monday.(if you click the link above it will tell you how to do it). I found the idea intriguing so I decided to do it and see if that would help avery eat a little better! This will also help to get my creative brain moving again..even if it is for my kids!

So I stopped by Michaels to get some silicone muffin cups...I don't know about you, but washing reg. muffins tins bugs me. So after I paid a small fortune for them I got a coupon...so I will be going to buy more next week. In the meantime, I just used some little cups I had at the house. This week there was no theme and we actually had Muffin Tin Tuesday as we were away on monday.

For lunch I went with a shape theme: goldfish(fish shape), bananas for circles, and star shaped cheese. He ate almost all of it except for 2 pieces of cheese and a couple bananas.
For dinner, I just basically gave him what we were eating, just in the cups. there is rice, beans/corn, cheese, dried fruit, goldfish, and what we were having mixed together. I figured he should get used to eating with all the flavors mixed too. Again he did very well!(lunch pic is on the bottom and dinner is on top) I can't figure out how to switch them!

Tasty Tuesday

I've been experimenting with some new recipes lately and here are the verdicts!

First up, Mega Turkey Nacho Dinner-we really liked this and it was VERY filling! i did add in extra zucchini. i also used gr. beef, added in a can of tomatoes for the romas, no avocado, and used diced jalepino's instead of the sliced. next time i think i will omit the chicken stock as it made it too "juicy". i also didn't layer it and yet we still had lots of extras!

Next, Citrus Curry CHicken-we both liked the unique taste of this dish. it does NOT make enough sauce if you want it over rice so i would double it. i think next time i will marinate it in the sauce as the chicken was a bit dry. i didn't cook it in the microwave but on the stove top. it was pretty simple too! i used chicken breast too.

We also tried, Fluffy French Toast, to me they weren't that fluffy. it was basically french toast with a thicker batter on them. they were still pretty tasty! Although it could have been the bread, i just used reg. wheat bread. I also used rice milk instead of reg. milk. My dinner guest did like them too! Just be fair warned...they are messy! I also added in a sprinkle of cinnamon!

Finally, Cranberry turkey loaf-we like this one as well...but i thought it needed more flavor. i did add extra cranberry sauce and it was def. moist! i used turkey flavored stuffing instead of herb(wasn't paying double for it!) the extra sauce made it taste better. im thinking ill add in some more s&p and poultry seasoning next time. maybe even some apple/celery too!

Drilling our kids?

Sometimes I think in this society we put too much pressure on our kids to be "successful" at such an early age. There always seems to be a competition between who's kid is better than the other...it goes on even if you don't want it too! I do try my best not to compare my boys to others and try to let things go when people compare them to their own.

As most know, I am licensed as a family daycare provider. It is a slow process...but would like it to be a little quicker as least right now when we could really use the extra income. Since we became pregnant with Quinn last summer, daycare took a back seat. I had 2 kids in my care at the time. *I will admit I didn't do much with the kids for activities in the sense of arts & crafts or had lesson plans(i had every intention too). My kids were all under 2 and one of them everytime i brought something out he would either eat it, destroy it, or walk across other's work. So I let it go. Plus I was ABSOLUTELY exhausted and sick from being pregnant. We sang songs, read books, and played with NUMEROUS toys. It was a little more relaxed at the time, but it was the best I could do!

I closed down for 10 weeks and lost both of the kids...which is some ways I am ok with(as one bullied my kid and had NO support from his parents on discipline) and the other little boy I just lost to another daycare...

This other daycare pretty much GUARANTEES that your child will have basic reading and writing skills before they enter kindergarten. To me and my philosophy with my kids(and Keith does agree) this is putting to MUCH pressure on the kids to learn this. In my view, daycare is more for the social aspect vs. the learning aspect. So it seems like more of the day would be spent on " structured learning" than learning through play and each other. These kids range from infant to preschool.

We have talked about sending avery to preschool come jan or next fall. but we are SOLELY sending him for the social aspect and to get used to being away from mommy before I just throw him into full day kindergarten. Plus he will be home an extra year. This preschool is where I used to work and the teacher is faboluous! Plus this will allow him to make friends and to have friends once he goes to public school.

I of course can teach avery his numbers, letters, colors, how to write his name, etc. But we do it through play...I don't sit here and drill him on these things nor do I say "ok avery is time to write your letters".

I just seem to think that they have so much to accoplish now once they get into formal schooling so why should be pressure them in daycare or preschool? Just let the kids be kids! Let them get dirty, pick fights, argue, and play. They learn so much from each other and playing with objects that aren't just paper and pencils.

my sister just got back from florida...and brought Quinn his own ears! Avery had some from my mom a couple years ago. they are so special they even got their names on them...ok its really b/c i name my kids "different" names and you can't find anything with their names on it!

Tasty Tuesday-Reviews

After last week of not cooking very much...b/c I was melting!(in the 90's and HUMID) I've been cooking or will be cooking quite a bit this week due to the lower temps. I LOVE to do it and it makes me satisfied that I am providing my family with a healthy meal. I am always trying new recipes(well i used to try a lot more, when our budget allowed and before I had Quinn) Hopefully now that he is getting older I will be able to get back into cooking/baking. I find it very relaxing and enjoy impressing people! Btw, if you are ever a guest here or come over for a meal you eat QUITE well...im sure my friends can vouch for that!



so here are some recipes we have tried lately!



Ham and Cheddare Supper Waffles: these were FABULOUS! I really liked how the cheese got crispy...I LOVE crispy cheese. Plus they were different. I do advise if you have a belgian waffle maker to cook them a little longer(the first couple were still a little soft on the inside) and also to double the"dough" part, maybe the whole recipe as it only made 3 belgian waffles. I may try experimenting with ham/swiss, or turkey/swiss. i did also use the finely shredded cheese and used rice milk in place of the reg. milk. but they were fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside.


Today I am trying another waffle recipe: chocolate pecan waffles for lunch. ill write a review after I have them.(and the recipe). ok if you want the recipe i will gladly share...but im not sure i can link it right now as its from a magazine and you need a subscription so before i type it all out, ill want to know that someone would like it!
-they were pretty tasty! even my lunch guest liked them. again they were in the belgian waffle maker so it only made 3 or 4. they didn't get crispy on the outside, but im wondering if it had to do with my eggs(they were supposed to be foamy and i thought they were, but not sure if they were foamy enough) i even cooked them longer, but then they were starting to burn so i stopped them. another thing i will make sure to do is temper the choc with the milk. you are to melt the choc. but then you add it into cold milk so it solidified and they were like choco shavings...i still went along and cooked them.
-as for the choco. it called for the unsweetened baker's choc. squares. I had none so i found a sub for it online. 3 tbsp cocoa powder to 1 tbsp shortening.

chocolate zucchini cake with peanut butter frosting! again if you would like the recipe let me know...its another great way to use up the over abundance of zucchini that we all seem to have! it was pretty easy to make as well. the frosting was super simple and tasted GREAT! i could have just eaten that. the cake was a denser cake where I like a fluffy cake, but it was completely edible!

I also made Big Dipper Oatmeal cookies as well today...they are my go to oatmeal cookie recipe now. I LOVE them and so do keith and avery. I started to make them b/c I didn't care of oatmeal and I had heard that oatmeal can help improve milk production during breastfeeding...its a good excuse to eat cookies at least! I wasnt sure I was going to like the cinnamon/choc. combo but it actually went together quite nicely. glad i tried them...and yes I do generally eat reg. old oatmeal for breakfast every morning now. I tend to crave it...i serve it with some brown sugar and REAL maple syrup, and some cinnamon. no instant stuff here...well keith likes it! i also use a little rice milk so its safe for quinn to recieve.

what a difference....

between 2 boys from the same parents can be! Keith and I often find ourselves having a conversation about how different our boys are. Granted there is a little over 2 yrs between them and somedays they are just a like and others they are NOT!

Avery was always a mellow, easy going baby. He would go anywhere you took him and was as happy as a clam. Quinn on the other hand has been a lot better since cutting dairy out of my diet, but he DOES.NOT.LIKE. his carseat. he will last for short trips, but anything longer than 30 mins and forget it! Usually once he is out, he is fine.

Avery would sleep just about anywhere you put him(as a baby, not so much now). if we were out and he was tired, he'd sleep. he would ALWAYS fall asleep in his carseat and usually stay asleep...Quinn as soon as the car stops, he is wide eyed and staring at you!

Avery always slept on his back, Quinn hates sleeping or even being on his back. Avery hated tummy time, Quinn is always on his tummy. Avery didn't start crawling until 7/8 months, Quinn we feel will be there in a month(he already scoots backwards, and is up on his hands and knees)

I know there are other similarities but im drawing a blank right now...

Rockin' Green Laundry Detergent!

I keep meaning to write a review of this new laundry detergent I've been using for a while now...ok a month! It's called "Rockin' Green" and so far its rockin' the cloth diapers in this house!

I had been battling with stinkings for a while...to the point where I was ready to "almost" throw in the towel on cloth diapers, although I do love them and they have been saving us a TON of money! Well I know we have VERY hard water and I've tried just about everything. While searching a diaper forum I stumbled upon this new detergent being made my a WONDERFUL wahm, Kim. I emailed her and asked a few questions, which she quickly responded back too. I was intrigued so I went ahead and ordered some samples. She had quite a few different scents to choose from so I chose "Ocean Rain" and "Vanilla Buttercream".

A few days later, when I went to check the p.o. box I opened it up to a wonderful smell! I was a little giddy knowing what was coming...(ok I really don't get out much!) I couldn't wait to wash the diapers. After the first wash, they came out smelling amazing and CLEAN! So the real test would come when my son "dirtied" them...and it passed with FLYING colors! I can say I won't be going back to use any other detergent. Kim has wonderful customer service any question you may have she will answer for you and will work with you to solve a problem until its fixed.(I haven't experienced that part yet...but I know someone who has).

Overall, if you are cloth diapering her little one's precious bum and need a WONDERFUL detergent to get them clean you should try out Rockin' Green(haha...i totally rhymed and didn't do it on purpose) I can't wait to try out one of her new scents...I'm thinking Mango Sorbet!

why do i attend church?

well it would seem obvious for the reason being that I truly believe there is a higher power to be! But the real question for those that don't know me would be, why do I attend a catholic church when I was raised as a Methodist? well the simple answer would be that my husband is catholic and we were married in the catholic church.

By being married in the catholic church you have basically agreed that you will be raising your children catholic. Now while, I do agree( and so does Keith) that religion is important to us, would I have picked catholism...probably not. But being as it is that my husband is the organist for the Catholic church and HE had to sign the paper about raising our kids catholic, we are now bound too....at least in the Catholic church.

Before we were married there were MANY a nights that we argued about this subject...I found it very important for our children to be raised with both religions, not that they differ all that much, but there are ways that they do. I am NOT catholic or will I ever be...I agree with the basics and the priciples, but there are some aspects I do not agree with and well i just let it be. so to answer the question...I attend a Catholic church b/c my sons are both catholic. they were both baptized into the religion and they will be raised as one.

Although, as a mom I do feel like its my job to be able to teach them about religion along with eveyrthing else a mom teaches their child. This is one thing I am unable to teach them about and it saddens me to a point, but then I think well this is ONE thing Keith will be able to teach them about(of course dad's do teach a lot more). I still can barely follow along during a service...I am getting better though. Although, generally I am up in the choir loft with both boys and can't see all the happenings going on down below, but we still attend as much as we can so the boys are used to it and know that it is expected of them to attend. Until they are old enough to make the decision on their own...but they will be at least 18 before that happens!

I find it very important to attend church as a family, so THAT is why I attend a catholic church, b/c MY family is Catholic.

August Review

I couldn't come up with anything good as a title...

So let's see...its not mid-august and summer has FINALLY decided to show up and NOT lightly I might add. Its HOT, HUMID, HAZY, and just plain gross! Quinn of course hates the heat, so he has an a/c in his room, avery could care less so he has a fan. He also sleeps under at least 2 blankets regardless of the temp outside.

We are still chugging along in the financial economy that we are all in, we hope and pray that things will be better soon enough for us. At least that we aren't gritting our teeth every month to squeak by. Although it is teaching us a lot...we don't buy things anymore, so it may be good in the long run!

Avery is now pretty much fully potty trained except for bed/nap time. He even does pretty well when we are out and about he will tell me he has to potty. In an hour and half one night he went 3 TIMES! (actually that might have been in 30 mins). I take what I can get and its less diapers I have to wash.

Quinn is now 5 months old and is such a happy baby. No idea where my little peanut went or how we even got to this point. I swear in the beginning I wasn't sure I was going to make it, but like most moms(and dads) we somehow do. He laughs at his big brother and smiles whenever someone smiles at him. And if you talk about him you get the biggest, dimpliest grin ever! I can't wait to see him and Avery interact more. He is still bfing wonderfully and saving us TONS of money!! He just started cereal this past weekend and is doing great with it and loving it. I was trying to hold off until 6 months, but Friday night he was trying to devour keith's spoon with ice cream on it, so I figured it was time!

We had a set back with Rascal, our dog. But we are working on his behavior. He is VERY VERY protective of us and the boys. He basically attacked another UNLEASHED dog, thinking he was a threat. Luckily, no one was hurt(or animal) and the neighbors do still talk to us. We've brought rascal in more(he usually hates it, but since this situation he comes more williningly), and also brought him in the front yard leashed when we are out playing or hanging out with the boys. he has been doing so well and he's almost a different dog! he is NEVER aggressive towards the boys despite the torture they put him through! So we are all on a learning curve here...

As for me? I'm still here! Getting more sleep, most of the time now that Quinn is only getting up once. I've been reading a lot more, so I guess I get a little me time. I need some more of it though, just never seem to find the time!

Keith is still Keith...chugging along at 2 jobs and trying not to stress me or the kids out!lol nothing new really on that front!

It actually feels like summer!

I know I haven't blogged in a while, but life sure can be crazy with 2 kids!

We are about to embark once again into the world of potty training Avery. He did so well for 2 weeks and then we weren't home one weekend and it all went away...so I didn't want to push it. He has been telling me A LOT lately that "avery peed" or "avery pooped" so I told him if he can tell me that then he is a big boy and can use the potty! To my amazement he went flying into the potty this morning and went in it...and proceeded out with his "treasure" and wanting 2 of "jo's candies"(lifesavers). so he got them...maybe he will FULLY get the concept now.

Quinn is growing like a weed of course. He was 13 lb 11 oz at his 4 month appt. The dr agreed that it was good to stay away from dairy for now and we will revisit it after he is a yr old. oh how i miss my ice cream and cheese! He is also 24 inches long too! we were in a decent routine, but of course as babies go he is completely out of it now...i can't get the kid to take a nap longer than 30 mins now and I can't seem to put a finger on the cause. I usually have to lay down with him and allow him to nurse if that's what he wants to do...ok on somedays but I can't do it everyday. I finally got him to sleep longer today, but it was in our bed and not his crib. I let him cry it out earlier and I felt like a terrible mommy, but even that only lasted about 30 mins.

and of course now that I"m typing this he is awake...so there is a small update! I will try to get on to blog more for all of my 3 blog readers! lol

Happy 4 months, to my sweet Quinn!

well it's actually tomorrow, but seen as I have time i'll post it now!!

I think I have finally figured out what has been causing all of Quinn's fussiness from day one. It's sad for me to say but I had to give up all dairy products! I have a great love of ice cream and miss it, but it sure has made for one happy Quinn for me not to eat it!

We took Quinn in at the end of June for blood in his stool and they said it was from an anal fissure. we then had to take stool samples(oh the fun in that) and there was no blood after. well i then questioned for the second time in 2 weeks a milk allergy/senstivity. I researched it a bit online and he had ALL the symptoms. one dr and nurse said we will keep an eye on it, but don't change your diet. ok fine...so for 3 days leading up to a mini vacation I had cut way back on dairy not b/c i wanted to it just happened this way. well we went away and went to a REALLY good ice cream place so i got a milkshake...it was super tasty, but didn't make up for the next 3 days of torture I put my son through. he was not happy...fussy, pooping, spitting up, etc. so I cut all milk out again...i do have a piece of cheese or a bit of ice cream but that's it. It is like he is a brand new kid, laughing, happy, smiling, and content. So clearly that had to have been the problem...I haven't talked to his dr yet about it, I will do that friday. But i'm not about to eat/drink dairy for a while just to test it out...

As hard as it has been to give up the dairy, I can't wait to have it again! I told keith I'm making a date to go out for an Applebee's mudslide once Quinn is done nursing...

he now laughs and coos a whole lot! he rolls both ways and tries his hardest to sit up from a laying down position. I think he is also teething b/c he is drooling buckets and sucks/knaws on his hands!

He is such a joy to have around and I love watching Avery interact with him!

some pictures!

avery on the carousel...he finally went on the horse!



I don't think he was sure of the carousel at first



Tummy time for Quinn

Quinn being baptized

smiles at the park!

Twilight...

well I finally gave in and read "twilight". I had the book sitting on my shelf for a yr that a friend let me borrow. I had heard so much about it so I said it must be good....it took me about 100 pgs to really get into it(the first book is 400+pgs) and then I couldn't put it down! I was completely shocked, surprised, and wanting to read more! we got rid of most of our cable channels so there isn't much to watch now at night. That's ok I was completely into the book and even told keith not to interupt me! lol

Its an amazing book and a great story line! Something you can never imagine possible for someone to write! It almost seems to real! I think I finished the first book within 2 weeks and that was really only reading at night. I then NEEDED the second book almost immediately so I had Keith stop at our friends house and get me the second book. This was sunday and I have about 40 pages left. Our friend is a little upset that I'll get to read her 3rd book before she does, but I promised not to tell her what happens. It's like I "thrist" to read it...I've only been reading this at night after the kids are in bed and while nursing. Keith says well I guess it shows how much nursing you do! It has been a lot lately...then he goes on to tell me I read fast which is true and that he is jealous that I do read that fast. He then asked if I comprehend what I'm reading and I said of course or I wouldn't know what was going on.

The second book in my opinion isn't quite as good as the first....but still pretty good. Not what I imagined AT ALL and I have my opinion what might happen in the 3rd book now. ALthough I may be pretty sad to see the series end but maybe the author will write some more books. I lover her style even though I sometimes do have to go back and re read a portion b/c i apparently missed something! But that just makes it that much more interesting!

So if you haven't read it I'm going to jump on the wagon with everyone else and say to go read it!
I even tried to start another book until i got the second one(new moon) and I just couldn't get into it! all i could think of was vampires. I was also dreaming about them...sometimes good sometimes not so good, but I was still intrigued to read the rest!

we may need an ark soon...

For anybody living in New England knows how much rain we've been having lately. I heard the other day that it rained for the last 20 of 29 days. (this was june 29 and it has rained since then EVERYDAY!). Its getting depressing and frustrating especially for a 2 year old.

I decided to get avery out of the house AT LEAST once a week! Going to the park is free so we were doing that. I have few to choose from as I have to drive to all of them. I just signed him up for storytime at the library and we were visiting friends every other week. one would think this would be enough, but apparently not. This poor kid is in need of some major alone time...unfortunately Quinn has not been himself for the past week or so, so I'm not able to do anything with Avery. Luckily tomorrow Keith has off and he is going to do something with just him and avery.

We have also now designated Sundays as no house work day. Its strickly just family time. whether we go out and do something or stay home, but WE must resist the urge to do any housework. this gives us both time to relax and not worry about what needs to get done(so we usually do leave) and focus on our family. It gets hectic during the week so we don't get as much relaxing or down time as we desperately need. This does take some great willpower on my part as i HATE a mess house, but I'm finding its the break I need from not running around like a crazy mama all the time.

As for Quinn...last week he had blood in his stool so the dr wanted to see him. I was fearing the worst, but it turns out he just had an anal fissure which is now on its way to healing. I had to do samples this week to make sure there wasn't any blood I couldn't see and those came back negative. I talked to the nurse while I was at the dr today about a possibly milk allergy/intolerace(sp?) they didn't seem too concerned but I still think there is something wrong he just shouldn't be fussy all the time! for 3 nights he wouldn't sleep unless he was nursing so i brokedown and put him in bed with us and he nursed off and on(i was thinking growth spurt) now the night sleeping is better and the napping is worse...maybe an hour in the morning and an hour in the afternoon. so i gave in and laid in bed with him yesterday so he could get a little nap...until avery woke up crying from his nap so i had to go in and comfort him, which in turn woke quinn up....someday my life won't be as hectic i swear! so now im paying close attention to what i eat for dairy and quinn's fussiness,sleeping, pooping, and spit up. i should be able to fit all that into 24 hours right? no wonder i'm tired...

Quinn is usually a happy baby smiling, laughing, and cooing. he went into the kiddie pool this week and avery splashed him a bit and to my surprise Quinn was laughing at him! It cracked me up!

Avery has a new swing set so both boys have been enjoying that.

we leave on monday for maine for 3 days with my mom. it should be interesting with my mom, sister, brother, both boys and myself. Keith has to work as he has no vacation time. We are only getting to go b/c my mom would split the bill and i really wanted to take avery to the beach(hoping he likes it better this yr) i'm still not sure who is getting the vacation here me(at the beach with 2 kids and my sometimes crazy family) or keith being home with no children, just the dog....something tells me its keith!

Of course the money tree still isn't growing in my yard, but I needed new brakes. Keith isn't sure they were completely necessary but what was I to do when I need the car to drive to maine. at least i know the car is safe. Keith has been getting a bit of overtime so it has been helping.

well that's an update on my end! i try to blog more but sometimes the thoughts don't seem to come!
