Mon Nov 26th- I'm thankful for being at home and for naps when I can hold Caylee.
**Caylee has never been a baby that likes to be held close for long periods. I know people think we're mean parents because we don't put her in bed with us during a fitful night, but she kicks and rolls and constantly moves... she thinks it's play time! When she sits with us on the couch she likes her own spot and own space. I'm completely fine with that, because I like her independence. However, there are days when she wakes up from a nap very upset and I can go in and sit with her quietly for another hour or so. Those times are very special and I'm so thankful I get to be home to do that with her!!
Tues Nov 27th- I'm thankful for Caylee's helpfulness!
**Caylee is such a good little helper. Even at a young age she is learning how to do things around the house. She'll shut the dryer door for me when I load the clothes and even pick up clothes if I drop some and put them in. She'll help stir when I make food and she is getting much better at putting her toys away (although they usually come out if you aren't quick enough!). It's important for me to remember to keep showing her how to do things and teaching her, because she really enjoys helping! The funniest thing is that she'll bring me my slippers if I am not wearing them. She's also great at getting her socks and shoes and handing them to me when we have to leave.
Wed Nov 28th- I'm thankful for "rough" playtime!
** Being this pregnant, or really, being pregnant at all, it's difficult for me to play hard with Caylee. However, she loves being chased right now and chasing us back. She needs that time to get out some energy and I love that Matt comes home and immediately plays with her. He's so good with her! It's so funny to watch him tackle her and she just runs back for more! Their new thing is him throwing her on the couch and her rolling back off. She goes head first into his arms and he throws her back- so funny and she just cracks up the whole time!
Thurs Nov 29th- I'm thankful for sleeping in!
**It seems like November has been a LOOOONG month. Between Caylee getting 3 new teeth and having a double ear infection our nights have not been very peaceful. That being said, this week she has been sleeping in just about 30 minutes longer than normal. I'm so very thankful for the extra rest, especially since I never know if naptime will work out or not!
Fri Nov 30th- I'm thankful for a healthy pregnancy!
**Today was my 30 week check-up for Micah! 30 weeks!! We are getting SO close, I can't believe it! My blood pressure is doing great, his heartbeat was wonderful and all is going well... I'm so excited to see our little boy in just 9 short weeks.... so glad all is going well so far :)
