Despite my absence, I still wanted to share a little collage I made of our Valentine's day yesterday. Maybe this will help jump start my little lonely blog once again. We sure do love our cute little Valentine's :)<br />
<br />
Valentine's day, Zoey helped me design her Owl Valentine cards and I made Jane's for her. I even made Tommy one single Valentine that he gave to a little girl from church. We got lots of treats and goodies from family and friends and even threw a Valentine's party for a few of Zoey and Jane's little friends. Andrew was of course a sweetheart and though we didn't get to go out alone, he made sure I felt loved and we pigged out on lots of candy and some divine cupcakes. Happy Valentines day to you all!<br />

Let me tell you, it's TOUGH! I thought two was hard...it doesn't even compare. I've made two separate attempts the past couple month to get a cute/semi-decent picture of my kids with my own camera. It took a LOT of energy and a LOT of time and nothing really turned out. I've decided now that the only way I'm going to get a decent picture of all my children is to have a professional do it (for now at least). They have the proper equipment, the proper lighting and they are a new face that kids usually listen to better than their mom. Both my girls did really well and smiled on cue etc. so that was great. Thomas was a little monkey all over the place, but luckily they were able to capture some split second moments that looked cute. I was especially happy that we got Jane to smile because she has such a sweet smile. Anyways, here they are. Enjoy!<br />

<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">Little Tommy Boy had his first birthday last Sunday! He was adorable. He's such a big boy and developing such a personality, especially when his sisters are bugging him. We had a small dinner/party for him here at home with some of his cousins. The main event was most definitely the cake! He LOVED it. He's been the best 1st birthday cake eater that we've had so far in our family. The girls were so delicate and hesitant, but Thomas knew exactly what he wanted and boy did he want it. It was also so fun to watch him with his presents. He got some fun balls and a bat and baseball toy. He's never used a bat before but the second he pulled it out he knew exactly how it was supposed to be used. He started wacking the baseball immediately. It was so funny! What a little boy we have and I love it! He's also really into pushing things across the floor. If it rolls/moves he pushes it :) So, I'd say it was a successful first birthday. We had lots of fun with our little guy.</span></div>

The main reason is time. I've been devoting most of my extra time to my new website <a href="http://bettermomblog.com/">bettermomblog.com</a>. If you haven't already visited, go right ahead. You can follow it on the site or follow my facebook page <a href="http://www.facebook.com/BetterMomBlog">http://www.facebook.com/BetterMomBlog</a> to get updates that way.<br />
<br />
But, I will still be updating this blog with main events, etc. The biggest news recently has been two birthdays in our family. Zoey's was first at the beginning of July. My mom was able to come visit us too so she was able to be here for her birthday! We did a butterfly birthday theme (see more details on my <a href="http://bettermomblog.com/2012/07/25/butterfly-birthday-party/">other site</a>) and had lots of fun! Zoey had a family dinner/party and then later a friend party. She's made lots of friends since we've been here in MO. There's a plethora of girls around her age in our church so that's been great. Enjoy the pictures.<br />

She's almost two and a half and has been such a blessing to our family. I am constantly thinking about how sweet and adorable she is and wanted to share a little about her recently.<br />
<br />
Jane says really cute things. Some of my favorites, she calls the dishwasher the "laundry", orange juice or any juice is "orange", nightgown is "night-down" (she gets that from zoey). She always reminds us to say the prayer. She loves soft blankies cuddled up to her face, specifically a grungy pink one but we are weaning her from that. Jane loves to copy Zoey which is cute but causes problems as well. She takes naps so easily and many times prefers to sit on her bed and relax during the day. She's an awesome eater, still loves salad and basically anything. She's also such a sweet and loving big sister to Thomas and he loves her. She's now completely potty trained day and night. She finally got her lower lateral incisors that most kids get before age 1. Then today I noticed one of her lower canines popping through. It's pretty cute that she gets all excited when I show her her new teeth. We are definitely late bloomers with teething in our family! We just can't get enough of our little Janey. One of my favorite things is when she wakes up before Zoey and comes into my bed and cuddles with me..LOVE that cuddle time! Love you miss Nancy Jane!<div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwAtfPTD_KUcJYy2qz9NSePKzvKEg51fjyNuu14iCAoBBdO99GjtQCH8IplP7fIpnfV50EZ94ne6qHvV6s8sggT_pH02T_gan3r8ENWiw2xGlU-Ctb-Nf-ada_ptAibYEdQ_dI7Iq4lrQ/s640/blogger-image-135319927.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwAtfPTD_KUcJYy2qz9NSePKzvKEg51fjyNuu14iCAoBBdO99GjtQCH8IplP7fIpnfV50EZ94ne6qHvV6s8sggT_pH02T_gan3r8ENWiw2xGlU-Ctb-Nf-ada_ptAibYEdQ_dI7Iq4lrQ/s640/blogger-image-135319927.jpg" /></a></div>Cortneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11711246500459512395noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784451434089843779.post-69478257088198147702012-06-15T05:49:00.001-07:002012-06-15T09:12:23.355-07:00Zoey the Fashion Designer<div style="text-align: center;">

We're pretty much speechless with this one. One thing's for sure. It's most definitely runway material.</div>

The girls totally loved it. They of course chose the sprinkle kind. It was also fun to watch the donuts being made. Thomas got a few bites of his free donut and some chocolate milk which he, of course loved too. It's nice to get out of the house every once in a while even if it's just to get a free donut. Apart from donuts :) we've been doing great way out here in Missouri. Even though I don't really have many (or any) friends quite yet, I am blessed with some great sister-in-laws who live just a few minutes away. I've also been so blessed with a feeling of peace in regards to Missouri being my home. With everything around me almost opposite of what I am used to, I expected it to take at least a couple years for me to feel good about calling it home here. A couple months ago as I was driving around a feeling of comfort came over me as I was pondering upon my new home. Ever since its been a great blessing to have that peace knowing at least for now this is my home. One of the most difficult parts about being here is being so far from family. One of my dreams is to someday live close to my parents so it's been rough being not just 9 hours away like before, but now 27+. I'm hoping that dispite the distance we'll still be able to visit with them regularly. However, if anyone is ever in our neck of the woods we would love to meet up. A familiar face would be very much a great blessing.<br />

My little boy is 9 months old now and we love him more than ever. He weighs over 18 pounds, crawls everywhere, eats lots of food, sleeps 12.5 hours every night (usually), and LOVES to jump in his bouncer.Cortneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11711246500459512395noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784451434089843779.post-46785448722568282052012-04-26T19:16:00.002-07:002012-04-26T19:16:18.762-07:00Jane and Tom-bo<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Tom-bo is a nickname we have for Thomas. Jane prefers to use "Tom-bo" when she talks to him.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Tonight, Andrew and Zoey went on a Daddy daughter date to the Kansas City Temple open house. We went through as a family last week but thought it would be neat for Zoey to get to go again with just Andrew. Jane was pretty emotional about not being able to go to the temple on a "daddy date" so I gave her and Thomas extra cuddles tonight. Those two are so cute together. Lately I've been thinking about their relationship. We easily group Zoey and Jane together because they are the first two kids, only 18 months apart, and both girls. However, Thomas and Jane are also 18 months apart and as I catch little glimpses of their interactions it makes me smile. I really think they'll grow up to be good friends.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was feeling an overwhelming love for these two little kiddos tonight as we spent some time together. We had fun taking pictures and I couldn't just pick one to show so I posted them all. Each one makes me smile. As you can see in a couple of them, Thomas is already being a little bully to Jane. Her reaction is adorable. I'm sure he'll soon find enjoyment in watching that reaction as he teases her (maybe he already does).</div>

This just might be the funniest video I've ever taken of my girls. Sorry for the angle, I had to be conspicuous as they were both sitting right next to me on the couch. Some background before you watch it...Jane had just come from a short time out in her room and was sad. She sat down next to me and Zoey came over and started comforting her with a song something like this "Don't cry, don't be sad, it's ok". Zoey has done this before and when I heard her starting to sing to Jane I immediately got my phone recording because I didn't want to miss such a sweet moment. Little did I know, the course of the song would soon change...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's pretty quiet so turn your volume up and if you still can't hear, I put the lyrics below. You can read as you watch. Enjoy!</div>

We had a wonderful Easter with lots of family including Andrew's sister Alisa and her family who came to visit us for their Spring break. It was fun to have such a large group of Olsen's running around in Independence. I am so grateful for my Savior and the sacrifices he made so that I can live again.</div><div><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglTiAVHp9KAZeoYpkSHiPfW1189iMgE6QvFYwdCE5jlUcaJru8YEWwsFtYrg5WmYxj9xVj1UDBCEaL_XeqszRVzzTv3oUEjyabjtdpjqpsG9C9Ycee1uoLptQzgX5u2ohBoNTFkkg4mPQ/s1600/IMG_0511.JPG"><img style="display:block;

Those are always special moments. She still asks to be held...doesn't NEED to be held, but would prefer it. Not for laziness sake, just to be close to someone. I also love how she isn't particular about who is cuddling her. It could be mom or dad or some random nice stranger. She warms up pretty fast and gives her love so willingly. What a special quality to have. I am excited to see how this quality is expressed as she gets older. Hopefully she will always be willing to give her momma a nice big hug.</span><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPhnlTepUJDBhtehlEELn-ucRDdas5B-Af7l9dL3gnGYn8KrE1owxJpUtu_Nwf-h3hCby-uiY2HFLi40vNK-nCrgqMde4w8MqhKoU-K6kI57E7zWyosx_RNvgiYQU-oiH9puwPieeCNPI/s1600/IMG_0375.JPG" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; "><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPhnlTepUJDBhtehlEELn-ucRDdas5B-Af7l9dL3gnGYn8KrE1owxJpUtu_Nwf-h3hCby-uiY2HFLi40vNK-nCrgqMde4w8MqhKoU-K6kI57E7zWyosx_RNvgiYQU-oiH9puwPieeCNPI/s320/IMG_0375.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5731477752605455474" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Picture: Jane thought it was pretty neat that she could fit into her dolls pants...I was cracking up, </div><div style="text-align: center;">this girl is funny!</div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyS6N7O8-qFej0Crprk2Wtul6hKRf-bd0kymqwroWkLFE0cmh5o09jTbzVJzxlkNr9SCjCN1_UlhTNtHHYUh0clMsLGrx1fU99sscNg7GG7dT-pRKeb34rXsDCRgxNwCT9nGtmweEcyIs/s1600/IMG_0494.JPG" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; "><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyS6N7O8-qFej0Crprk2Wtul6hKRf-bd0kymqwroWkLFE0cmh5o09jTbzVJzxlkNr9SCjCN1_UlhTNtHHYUh0clMsLGrx1fU99sscNg7GG7dT-pRKeb34rXsDCRgxNwCT9nGtmweEcyIs/s320/IMG_0494.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5731478189769230626" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxJas2Ark3hUydmVTsoQmrFvZYihTHYyMLE7bgn5XZGSSEwIlDitAp2hmwNkCPixaIDzv_t4WpBNQi84ze_6vbt2LvKC4THjh83k2K9kYMQEt25hGjOWv1-ZYJEeBpAqOeaDPUjfrhoe4/s1600/IMG_0499.JPG" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; "><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxJas2Ark3hUydmVTsoQmrFvZYihTHYyMLE7bgn5XZGSSEwIlDitAp2hmwNkCPixaIDzv_t4WpBNQi84ze_6vbt2LvKC4THjh83k2K9kYMQEt25hGjOWv1-ZYJEeBpAqOeaDPUjfrhoe4/s320/IMG_0499.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5731477767479554850" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Picture: LOVE the outfit Jane</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidJZBxuIFH_daivqJBRbwupKQHwoU_AZ6R2Bc2bfCtXMKqGdjoy9pH4fAN5tnDhm8iYSvV6kAkyGdlq4WpYpK-glAZlvfbi9n2uFeuVupCXdqYZNVzrZ3KftOlN2CYKmJiw1BAtQGROvA/s1600/IMG_0403.JPG" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; "><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 245px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidJZBxuIFH_daivqJBRbwupKQHwoU_AZ6R2Bc2bfCtXMKqGdjoy9pH4fAN5tnDhm8iYSvV6kAkyGdlq4WpYpK-glAZlvfbi9n2uFeuVupCXdqYZNVzrZ3KftOlN2CYKmJiw1BAtQGROvA/s320/IMG_0403.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5731477760166452594" /></a><span style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; ">Thomas: This kid is crazy. He's so funny and is really starting to show his personality. He has found his vocal chords, boy has he found them! He starts yelling, not screaming, it's a deep LOUD yell when he wants attention. SO different from my girlies. Andrew asked the other day if our girls ever yelled like him and I had to remind him that "no, remember the girls screamed in high pitch shrill voices? This is just the boy version of that". I have to say, I much prefer the boy version. It may be loud, but it does not physically hurt my ears. He also started doing this cute thing recently that I'll try to describe. When I'm holding him and not looking at him (usually looking at my phone or something) he cranes his head around and under where my face is so he is looking straight at my face. When we make eye contact he gets a huge grin. I set him back in normal position on my hip and he'll start over leaning in to see my face like it's a game. It's SO cute. I just love that little boy. He just started crawling which is fun. He also got his first tooth! We sure do love having this little spirit blessing our home each day.</span><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3PKNCtlxMtZAWAHWHBG3regZHsS8KUX1lCi773RMx4lUydE87b2bmWoKKJ7UdnOlvBL0UP890isq19XEGAM1_pUvDgHZOXhrolZlHpgpD3-hSFHkwtvKqSbZrVfCj3IptBBPZf6wKD1s/s1600/IMG_0495.JPG" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;

My little baby boy is already 7 months old..almost 8! It really seems like he was just born and here he is almost crawling. I really do love to see their progressions but a part of me just wishes they could be a newborn for at least the first year. It's such a precious and special time in life. The dynamics between Thomas and his sisters is just awesome, I feel blessed that from the start they have done nothing but love and adore him. When Jane is having a tough time emotionally, one of the only things that gets her to stop crying is to bring Thomas over to her. It's really cute. I'm sure there will be fights along the way but I am so grateful for the love he brings to our family. <div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhG2OYva5ZySryfJqFMgVbImgzW02oqWxHnhDLJy6mXWgYs7ksfBd9PDQsNcHK4S7HqU5Am9G1rdybVeGSV4goiRPg3PYn15kOHZXk52QU2MrP9t45yA0rJs9NmNRFfsmewztrO6m1BLls/s640/blogger-image--243243502.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhG2OYva5ZySryfJqFMgVbImgzW02oqWxHnhDLJy6mXWgYs7ksfBd9PDQsNcHK4S7HqU5Am9G1rdybVeGSV4goiRPg3PYn15kOHZXk52QU2MrP9t45yA0rJs9NmNRFfsmewztrO6m1BLls/s640/blogger-image--243243502.jpg" /></a></div>Cortneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11711246500459512395noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784451434089843779.post-54714068672572582892012-03-06T09:38:00.001-08:002012-03-06T09:43:54.646-08:00Missouri!We have officially moved to MO! Huge changes for us but nice to be settled into our own place. We live in Independence and are liking it so far. It helps to have nieces and nephews and in-laws here to keep entertained. Andrew started a business here with his brother and nephew to help build up local businesses through website presence online. It's in the works and we're really excited for it! If anyone needs a good, customized website let us know! <br />
<br />
Update on the kids:<br />
Zoey: growing up so fast! I can't believe she'll be starting kindergarten next calendar year (2013!!!) crazy crazy crazy! I'll say it again, crazy! She's learning her letters (I know I'm slacking but I honestly don't care, whats the benefit to learning your letters when you're 2 as opposed to 3 or 4?). She's also really taken a liking to cleaning up. That's been awesome. She gets more and more independent each day. Gets herself dressed, plays by herself, cleans up her dinner plate, etc.<br />
<br />
Jane: day one of potty training started today...wish me luck :) She is my little cuddle buddy, many times a day she will come up to me with the best hug and declare "I love you mommy". Melts my heart every time, I love it! <br />
<br />
Thomas: 7 months! He has mastered sitting up (with the occasional tumble). He's getting up on all fours almost ready to crawl! Unfortunately he still spits up...a lot :( I've tried every type of formula in every brand and nothing works..any suggestions? It doesn't affect his health or weight or happiness but it can sure be frustrating for the momma (extra laundry, scrubbing floors/blankets, endless changes of clothes, dealing with people yelling out to me in public "he barfed!!!".....whew! Gets tiring). On a lighter note, he's an extremely happy baby with TONS of personality. We live him so much!<br />

It's like once I'm behind it just gets harder and harder to catch up. So, instead of trying to search through and find past photos, I'm just going to give you a recap and start fresh with the [not so] new year. <br />
<br />
Well, the past few months we've been living in Andrews parents basement. While I'm anxious to have my own home, this is the next best thing. I'm so grateful to them for helping us out. <br />
<br />
Andrew has been working as a web developer and getting some great experience. He's now starting his own web development company with his brother and our nephew....he's really excited about it. The plan is to move out to establish the business in Missouri where my brother in law is living. Andrews always wanted to move out there so noes our chance.......I guess :) I'll keep you updates on how this all works out, things are still kind of up in the air in with that (what's new?) <br />
<br />
As far as events go....we had some great holidays. Halloween is always one of my favorites. I made my kids do wizard of oz....Zoey: Glenda the Good Witch, Jane: Dorothy (cutest one ever!), and Thomas: Scarecrow (easiest costume by far and my favorite of them all.....that's how it always seems to turn out) So, I'll have to try and post those pictures or better yet visit my Facebook, I've got a whole album full of them. <br />
<br />
Thanksgiving we spent here in Utah and had a great time with Andrews side of the family. Always super yummy food and even better company. <br />
<br />
Christmas we traveled down to California and spent a week and a half with my family. Lots of fun!!! I wish we lived closer. <br />
<br />
Aside from all the crazy holidays busy-ness, we've been doing pretty good. I'll take you through some recent happenings with a few pictures (since I have so readily accessible on my awesome iPhone!!!)....don't know if this will let me comment on each picture so there may just be a bunch of pictures with no captions.<br />

I went down the first week and spent three weeks down there at my parents house. It was a lot of fun to be there. We did lots of fun things but mostly just loved being around Grammy, Grampa, Aunty Breanna, and Uncle Dallin (and Aunty Britt and Uncle Scot when they came down to visit.) We went to Disneyland TWICE while we were there and had so much fun both times. We also went to Lombardi's Ranch/Pumpkin Patch and tons of other fun things. What a nice break.<br /><br />Disneyland...<br /></div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgzB4cLgoseWVJ5RZvVcxxEKmDKV1nqCU_wAN0hkmEdzJ-9zcN7DL-zs94Uu5a7ud6HHCJjLlIno3-XlFfNTG3F9dsXAlfVckc3OLdiqX3JT1QrJARAG0vlpFBV6nBxLKYO-6aVE5tNSs/s1600/IMG_0667.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgzB4cLgoseWVJ5RZvVcxxEKmDKV1nqCU_wAN0hkmEdzJ-9zcN7DL-zs94Uu5a7ud6HHCJjLlIno3-XlFfNTG3F9dsXAlfVckc3OLdiqX3JT1QrJARAG0vlpFBV6nBxLKYO-6aVE5tNSs/s320/IMG_0667.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670136666398319442" border="0" /></a><br />Dream come true for Zoey :) I overheard her talking to her cousins Bella and Katie the other day.

She is Andrew's mom and one great lady. I took this picture when she was staying here at Andrew's parents for a few days a month or so ago. It was such a sweet moment to see the bond between these two girls. I just think of the completely different lives they both have; such a large generation gap yet both are completely unfazed by it. Ancestral bond is a strong thing! A couple months ago I found a couple of grandma's journals and started reading through them. She has spent a lot of time putting together journals of her life and the lives of close relatives. I've really only been around her a handful of times within the last four years so reading these entries introduced a whole new person to me. I loved getting to know her on this level. When I saw her after reading those journals, I felt like I really knew her. It was neat. She is Andrew's last grandparent still living after the passing of grandpa Olsen in August. We are grateful to have her here and love her so much.<br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRNwFGbYsw3Oro2cZi6nj82eUT7vuyDr1njeU78pJNQ-y0QgvxCVJEG0-eljlPKC8DjtPXgRXiAp0-L3WPKrv4cq-VoZWlLG6PCm44jPjAxTe9ou93GGZ8rHD_nlicLEW3P8rN9d5PhU0/s1600/IMG_0373.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 256px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRNwFGbYsw3Oro2cZi6nj82eUT7vuyDr1njeU78pJNQ-y0QgvxCVJEG0-eljlPKC8DjtPXgRXiAp0-L3WPKrv4cq-VoZWlLG6PCm44jPjAxTe9ou93GGZ8rHD_nlicLEW3P8rN9d5PhU0/s320/IMG_0373.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670125113972589442" border="0" /></a>Cortneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11711246500459512395noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784451434089843779.post-90413298372611223222011-09-29T13:54:00.001-07:002011-09-29T15:16:18.052-07:00Sleeping Habits<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwckJ7EWQ6QCNv8tvzMhimqmI55v_zjdxJ8jn1A3a0smoysqZOJwctYiF2ewVFENQWsRQXekLTJTiGznyWXD9CKFqBsyv0YS293fqNb5DdD3SBfelz2ZX-2Y5ZdD194_sXiADwsxmwQRI/s1600/IMG_0368.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwckJ7EWQ6QCNv8tvzMhimqmI55v_zjdxJ8jn1A3a0smoysqZOJwctYiF2ewVFENQWsRQXekLTJTiGznyWXD9CKFqBsyv0YS293fqNb5DdD3SBfelz2ZX-2Y5ZdD194_sXiADwsxmwQRI/s320/IMG_0368.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5657898575057767058" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJd12RlJDC9Cv3KwXq2flII713xHHfT0wryQtRgqSKwmgDnnlT11NcVutu41UkkxoNdM6dNqLVkgA6JcnFKOWogW3WP5E24a3FQ9p-4th7TFpsR9TmH02LpohMqMEC2nmXflcsAvapqpg/s1600/IMG_0353.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJd12RlJDC9Cv3KwXq2flII713xHHfT0wryQtRgqSKwmgDnnlT11NcVutu41UkkxoNdM6dNqLVkgA6JcnFKOWogW3WP5E24a3FQ9p-4th7TFpsR9TmH02LpohMqMEC2nmXflcsAvapqpg/s320/IMG_0353.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5657892286003374034" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">I would love to really discuss my view on sleeping habits for babies and children but I'm just not in my normal blogging groove so I'll just add this much.<br /><br /><a href="http://inashoe.com/2006/08/hes-sleeping-like-a-baby/">http://inashoe.com/2006/08/hes-sleeping-like-a-baby/</a><br /><br />This is a blog I came across today that I found extremely interesting. It's a mom of 10 children who blogs about parenting. While I don't expect to have 10 children and quite frankly get light headed at the thought of it, I admire this mom and aspire to be more like her. She has some amazing advise on mothering and one section on sleep habits made me happy. I pretty much do the same things she does as far as newborns sleep is concerned. I did learn a few extra tips that I will immediately be starting now. One of the tips is letting the baby only nurse just enough in the middle of the night so he doesn't get used to waking fully. She said her middle of the night feeding is almost always less than 10 minutes. That way the baby gets used to eating more before bedtime and in the morning. I probably do this already since I'm so out of it in the middle of the night anyways. Her techniques just make sense to me. She said 10 of her 11 babies slept through the night by 7 weeks. That's saying something. I like how she says she needs a good nights to hold things together during the day (as do I!!) and to maintain a good "attitude-something that is pleasing to God". I found it humerous when she stated "Some people just don’t see a problem with waking up every hour and a half with a new baby, or waking up once or twice a night with an older baby. If this suits you and your husband, then keep doing it cheerfully." I don't know about you but I can see her sense of humor shining through on this statement. I mean, who wouldn't see a problem with waking up every hour and a half???<br /><br />As far as Thomas goes, he has had a wild 2 months of life. He has no place to call home, nor does the rest of his family. We have been between Idaho, Nevada, Utah, and soon to be California for the past two months. It started out with a wedding, then two funerals, then a new job, etc. Thomas has mostly slept on the floor next to our bed for the past month while we are temporarily living here in Lindon at Andrew's parents. When we were in ID, he had a bassinet. He takes most of his naps on the couch in the "round room" (a nice room where VTing/home teaching/etc. takes place) because the kids aren't "allowed" in there. So, with all this madness that's taken place, I was pleasantly surprised to have him sleeping in 8 hour stretches by 2 months. I haven't been incorporating the techniques I learned with the girls as strictly as I'd like to so seeing this improvement was really a shock to me....a very nice shock however. The timing of his "8-hour stretch" is still up in the air since I'm not scheduled enough to put him down at the same times every night. If you'd like to hear more of what I think about babies and sleep leave a comment and let me know. I've been blessed with good babies and good examples in my family on how to sleep train your children. It's worked for all 3 of mine so far which has been awesome.<br /><br />Most of my views come from a book called "On Becoming Babywise" Great info in that book.<br />You can get it used from Barnes and Noble for $1.99 <a href="http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/on-becoming-babywise-gary-ezzo/1014339200?ean=9781576734582&itm=3&usri=on%2bbecoming%2bbabywise">here</a><br /><br /></div>Cortneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11711246500459512395noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784451434089843779.post-28153737964294543602011-09-23T17:49:00.001-07:002011-09-23T18:00:20.875-07:00Newborn Pictures<div style="text-align: center;">Here are a few of the pictures Andrew's cousin took of Thomas.
