Pictures!

Yes, Hunter is on the coffee table. I know it isn't right but he looks so cute on it. He ate his snack on the table after his nap this afternoon. He is getting so big!

Weekends

I love the weekends but since having Hunter in our lives they are alot busier! I seem to be doing more house projects and house cleaning now! We moved Hunter's big boy bed in his room and his old crib in ours and got the dresser we borrowed in our room for this little girls clothes. That project is done! We just might have to rearrange where we put stuff in our room since I didn't realize we got such a big crib for Hunter! We tried to put him in his big boy bed last night. But after an hour and half of crying and then trying to put him in his pack and play instead and then he vomitted on the floor from crying so much we put him in his old crib in our room and he fell asleep with in 5 minutes! By this time it was way past 10:00pm. We moved him to his big boy bed after he fell asleep. I know were not doing the transition right but he just doesn't understand what we are trying to do and we are just trying. We aren't moving any more beds or cribs so will see what happens. Here are pics that Larry took of Misha while we were trying to put him to bed.

She has such a rough life let me tell you! She gets tired around 9pm and goes to bed with me at 10pm so she was probably thinking "kid just go to sleep!" We have a costume for Hunter but we haven't got one for Misha yet. Not sure if we will. It is kinda of a bummer that Halloween lands on a Friday cause last year it was on a Wednesday, my day off. This year we will be visiting family late! Maybe I will get off early! I haven't touched a scrapbook this weekend but bought stickers for the one I will work on next. Been reading alot and trying to find a name for this little girl! We just haven't figured it out yet. For some reason a girl name is harder for us than Hunter's was. I want to find a name soon so I can say "so and so why are you kicking me so hard!" I like common names but Larry doesn't and he has vetoed everyone of mine and I have vetoed everyone of his. So will see. I got 3 name books at the library hopefully we will come up with something. It will be a secret though once we figure it out!

Done!

On Wednesday, I was able to take two naps with Hunter and finish another scrapbook. Here is May/June 2007! Only about 6 more scrapbooks to go! In three months! I am getting closer!

Video!

Here is a video my mother took when we went to Hoffman's farm for pumpkins.

Misha is feeling much better! Yeah! She is back to bossing Lucy around and getting in her face. Hunter is growing like a weed and getting more of a personality. He says mama and papa all the time and if one of us isn't in the room with him he yells our name to see where we are at. If one of us isn't home we hear the other's name about 30 times until whoever isn't home comes home. Makes you feel loved let me tell you. Everyday he does something new and it is neat to see what he comes up with. He loves to talk and sing but he will not let me sing at all with him he gets all mad and screams. Oh well, I guess everyone else will have to teach him songs since I have been banned at the moment. I am doing good I had some days of nausea at work this week but I think it is because this little girl is a brute! She is so active with moving and grooving or doing whatever in me that she makes me feel ill. I had to lay down at work on Monday for about 20 minutes cause I kept getting waves of nausea and my belly kept cramping up and I thought great I am gonna have to call Larry to take me home and through all this she was doing somersaults or something she wouldn't stop! I almost thought it was preterm labor stuff and than I relaxed and powered through and felt better but the same thing happened to me at work on Tuesday but not as bad. So maybe I am just getting morning sickness symptoms now cause of her. Not sure hopefully it was just viral symptoms. She is more brutal than Hunter was hopefully she comes out nice and sweet! I am to 2 week OBGYN appts! That just amazes me! For some reason I think my doctor is early with these but I am not a doctor I just thought I was further along with Hunter when I went every 2 weeks. Not complaining though just means we get to hear her more! I got lots of projects set up for today but I feel like napping all day so will see what I do! I keep telling myself to do my projects now cause next month I am not going to have as much energry as I do now!

Work in progress!

Earlier this week, we put Hunter back in his crib after four days of being in his big boy bed. He was great the first two nights but after that we couldn't get him to sleep in it after he figured out he could crawl out and walk out of his room. The third night Larry and to take him driving to fall asleep and came back home after ten on a work night. After fighting with him two more nights we were done and felt bad for him cause he didn't know what was going on. I had to work extra hard at work because fellow employees were getting sick and not coming in so I had to work for two doctors for two of those days and give flu shots to all those patients so by the time I got home I was toast. Hunter was also waking up at 5:15am and 5:30am those days that he wouldn't go down so instead of Larry and I killing each other cause we didn't know what to do Larry just put his crib back together minus the side bumbers. Which has twitterpatted him not having those on so he gets mad in his crib now. But goes to sleep after crying for awhile but at least he stays in his crib. We cleaned up our room this weekend. I finished the filing cabinet drama. I have wanted to get a four drawer filing cabinet all year but just can't afford it with everything else so we are still using our two drawer one and I organized it and cleaned out the bills and moved it to the pantry it was in our bedroom. That project took me a week to do cause I was doing it after Hunter feel asleep at night and the nights he wasn't I didn't get to it. It was a painful project cause my bum would get sore the sciatic nerve would get me each time and it didn't matter where I sat! Larry moved the filing cabinet to the pantry yesterday and we re-organized our closet today! We were gonna get a closet organizer for our closet but once again it isn't in our budget so we used shelving that was already in there and compromised. It looks alright a whole lot cleaner! Larry moved the cat post to the shed and all we have his his dresser which well move to another spot in our room next weekend and get a dresser that we are borrowing and put it in our room for this little girls clothes! We are getting closer to getting projects marked off our list before she comes! Yeah! My friends, the Weber's, just had their baby boy this friday 3 weeks early Congrats guys! So it has inspired me to hope she comes early since this was their second little person! Next weekend we are going to put Hunter back in his big boy bed on friday night and just power through it all! At least we know what we are up against sort of. Misha has a possible sinus infection. She has been sneezing since Monday and we just let it ride until she was getting worse on Thursday and Friday. We took her for a walk on Friday night and she didn't get far she was gasping for breathe and was quacking like a duck, no lie ask Larry! He took her in to the vet on Saturday and she either has a sinus infection and is on antibiotics for 5 days. If she doesn't get better than it isnt' and infection and she has to go in and get sedated to see if she has something stuck in her nose. I am hoping that it is a sinus infection! She hasn't been herself she keeps sleeping alot this weekend but her sneezing is getting better. She is also overweight! She should be 25 pounds and she is 29 so she has to go on a diet! We also have to take her on daily walks since we have been slipping in that area. I think with the walks she'll trim down. Here are pics from Hunter playing in his room before his bed got moved to the laundry room to store.

We found Misha's lobster halloween costume from last year when we were cleaning out the closet. It doesn't fit Misha anymore so Larry put it on Kramer! He actually liked it! Crazy cat!

Pumpkins!

We went to Hoffman's with my Mother, Wayne, and Joanne and Hunter was minus his am nap so it didn't go smoothly but he did end up having fun! He saw alot of exotic animals in Canby! I am still amazed that I saw a tiger, camel, porcupine, bear, and a lion in Canby! I know that they are at the zoo in Portland but this is Canby! Hunter had fun on the kid tractor and the inflatable bouncy thing. At first he didn't know what to do and when some kids came in he got the idea. He liked the train ride and sitting on the hay. Thanks for taking us!

We also went with the Robinson's to get pumpkins at this patch we go to in Canby. I don't even know the name of it but they have great prices for pumpkins! You just pick out what you want and put money in a box and that is it! I love it! He had a good time walking around in the pumpkins. He would trip on the vines and get his hands dirty and you can tell he hadn't been dirty like that before. He started to cry and I think he takes after me that he doesn't like to get dirty. After a few more falls he was fine with being dirty total boy. Thanks for taking us too!

Big boy bed!

We got Hunter's big boy bed this Saturday at IKEA! It was pretty exciting to go and get it. We weren't going to put it together until next weekend since we wanted to have a whole weekend to get him adjusted but I think that once we got the boxes in the house we just had to put it together! I started washing all his new linens while Larry put it together! Here is his room before with his crib.

This is Hunter after Larry put it together and the linen's were getting dried. He was so excited he climbed right into his bed and crawled all over it and knew exactly what it was!

Linens are cleaned! He got a new alligator from Grandma and Grandpa Robinson to make sure he doesn't hit the wall. It is the size of the bed!

This is what his big boy bed looks like! With new curtains and a new big boy room!

So your probably wondering how it went putting him to bed and if he slept the night through? He didn't get his am nap that day and slept just under two hours in the afternoon so when he was ready to go to bed at 8:30 pm we told him to get in his big boy bed and he climbed in and fell asleep! It was awesome! He didn't climb out or anything! He slept the whole night in his bed! Here is a picture of him that I took of him sleeping in his big boy bed for the first time!

Isn't he precious! He is such a big boy for being 19 months old! He is leaning into the alligator just like he would lean onto the crib rails. He sleeps with no covers and sockless. Whatever way to get him to sleep works for me! The next day was another story we couldn't get him to take his am nap he kept walking out of his bedroom and closing his door. We will have to work on that or maybe the am nap will stop. It is up to him. He went to sleep awesome again this evening no peep just went straight to sleep!

Playing PS2

This is Larry and Hunter playing a PS2 race car game. We usually don't let him sit on the coffee table but I guess since I put his shoes on while sitting on it since I don't have to bend down he thinks we can sit on it. My bad. I think the boys look pretty cute.

100 days to go!

Doesn't that sound so cool! I can't believe that I am on the downward hill to having this little girl out! Pregnancy for me hasn't been that rough, thank goodness! It wasn't bad with Hunter and maybe seems a little easier with this one. I am showing more now it looks like I have a basketball in my belly I haven't gelled into my sides yet but I am not complaining! It makes it easier to carry Hunter on my side with my big ole belly in the front so maybe that is why I haven't. But my times of carrying him are getting short since he weighs over 29 lbs! My back is starting to tell me it doesn't like me carrying him after a long day of work. On Monday night when I was putting Hunter to bed I was carrying him on my side and I totally thought her limb came out of my belly she did the biggest kick or punch ever right at him I almost dropped him because of the suprise. I felt like I was in the movie Alien and she was coming out my belly! Guess she wanted some attention!

Larry was gone from Friday night to Sunday late pm last weekend. He was helping Anthony come back from California so they drove back during that time. It was just Hunter and me! And Hunter was asking for him alot during that time. All I heard was "papa" I lost count how many times he said it. I kept telling him he is on the road. By Sunday, he was shaking his head cause he didn't want to hear me say that. He was glad to see him and if he wasn't in the same room as Larry he would say "papa" and would find him. Needless to say this has made Hunter cranky if his papa leaves because I think he thinks he will be gone forever again. He gets so emotional and it takes awhile to calm him down. Poor dude.

I am plugging away slowly on my projects, but at least I am still trying. I am working on Hunter's June scrapbook I do it for about 45 minutes a night after we put Hunter down and if he crashes good than I work on 2-3 pages before 9:30 pm and put it all away and make my pot of sleepytime tea to help me sleep since I can't get comfy if my back aches from whatever I did during the day and jump into bed by 10! Sometimes sooner! Today I am gonna clean house, veg with Hunter, work on cleaning out our filing cabinet and try to find a cheap one on Craig's list, and maybe get more than 4 pages done in his book! Well see!

Taking pictures

For some reason our camera and I aren't working well. Everytime I take a picture it takes a few seconds to take the picture and then I get not so great pics! Urgh! Gotta figure out if Hunter messed with the camera or not. Here are some from this week and a couple from this am. Hunter and I are hanging out this weekend while Larry helps bring Anthony back home. I have more time on the computer this weekend! Yeah! I was taking pictures of our room for before and after shots when we get stuff out and crib and dresser in but I will post those when it all gets done. Not sure when but it will be before Dec! I was also taking pictures of Hunter's room for before and after pics because he gets to have a big boy bed! So excited! His height is 34.8" last month and the crib restrictions say to not be over 36" and already wants to climb out so instead of him falling out anytime soon we will transistion him to a big boy bed. Not sure when that will happen either maybe this month maybe next depends on how he does and if he is ok with his crib going in our room. All the books and internet sites I have read say wait until kids are 2-3 years old to make the change but when you got a big boy like Hunter and need to not buy anymore cribs you just gotta try it out and hope it works! We found him a bed at IKEA we just need to wait a few weeks to get it! Here is what it looks like but I don't think it has the dog and cat in the frame but it will be blue, I think with a different bed spread that has fishes on it.

Here I am trying to get a cute picture of Hunter but didn't happen. He loves his horse and he says Hee Haw which I think he is doing. He is in his pajamas and sweats in these pictures I swear I dress him in regular clothes but we like to lounge in comfy clothes.

Ultrasound Video!

Larry made a video from our ultrasound pictures! Larry sent it out to some of the family so if you didn't get it here it is! He put music with it also. He made it last month, but I am finally cleaning out all my pictures and videos! Hope it comes out ok on the blog sorry if it is blurry! Enjoy!

I love Fall!

I think Fall has to be my favorite season. I love that it gets cold at night and dark. I love bringing out the candles and lighting them. I love the smell of spice. I like the looks of pumpkins and sunflowers! I love drinking cider and hot cococa especially spiked, but not gonna happen this year!~ I love bringing out the coats, sweaters, mittens, and hats out of the closet! It is also fun putting all these on Hunter especially overalls! So bring on the Fall! Here are some pictures of Hunter I didn't take them I have been bad in the picture department. He keeps getting bruises on his head and I feel like a horrible mother when he has them but they happened with other people his Papa included but hasn't on my watch yet, but it will happen soon probably!

These pictures my mother took. They are from her house she and Wayne made Hunter a garden and he got to pick his veggies out of it!

Here he is at Daycare playing with one of his favorite toys. He puts these little pegs in the holes.. I love the second picture he is Professor Robinson as Annie called him. I think he has on Annie's glasses.

These pictures are from my mother's house we had dinner last weekend so these show his bruises and he just got another yesterday at daycare! Isn't he growing up! His face shape has thinned out a little bit. He loves my mother's excerise ball!
