Thoughts.

Here are some of the thoughts swirling around in my head lately.

-I wonder when Sullivan will start to wean himself.  He is about to be 15 months old and he is obsessed with nursing still.  I have nothing but good things to say about breastfeeding but at this point he is rougher, heavier, and harder to wrangle, lets not mention the nipple twisters (TMI alert) and I am tired. 

-He's not sleeping through the night.  Our nights usually go a little like this.

7:00 to 7:30 bath time

7:30 to 8:00 I rock him to sleep

11 to 12 he wakes up, I rock him and put him back in his crib.  Or if I am functioning on autopilot I bring him into bed with me.

2:00 to 5:00am he wakes up and I almost always bring him into bed if he is not already there with me.

7:30-8:00am wake up to start the day.

There is definitely room for improvement here.  I am not worried about it because we all get plenty of sleep and honestly that is all that matters.  

-He likes to eat:

apples

carrots

brown rice

blueberries

grapes

ice

orange peels(true story)

mushrooms

pumpkin and sunflower seeds

quinoa

-I am also pretty sure Sully has an allergy to milk.  

This picture was taken after I tried giving him baby yogurt in November.  He gets contact reactions even when he touches milk with his fingers.

Sad!

-I started working out at the student rec center here.  They have child care for a few hours each day and it is  so nice to exercise again!  The first time I took him he cried but calmed down when he was held, the next time he cried for thirty seconds when I dropped him off and then started playing.  Yay!  I also took him to the pool three times last week.  He absolutely loves it and always has a great nap after.  

-We got a juicer and have been enjoying all kinds of fresh juice!

This one was:

carrot

celery

ginger

 lemon

cabbage

apple

I just add ice and enjoy!

Well that is about all I have at the moment.

Sedona Trip

We went to Sedona during our trip to Arizona. 

My parents love waking up early and driving up there for breakfast and then a hike.  We did more of a quick walk since there was snow on the ground.  

I tried to take a picture of me and Arty...haha.

There he is (love you hubs).

My parents trying to get a picture with Sully who was squirmy.  

 There are these old structures left behind.  This one was just a wall with a hole for a window.

Father and Son :)

Arty did a beer tasting and I did a wine tasting.

My parents during our lunch.

This is the cute town we went to for lunch.  See the turquoise bracelet I'm wearing?  Well I mentioned to Arty that I liked it in a gift shop and then he surprised me with it later.  Love surprises!

This was a great day!

A walk in the desert

Arizona for the holidays

My parent's navel orange tree is ridiculous this year.  The oranges are HUGE!  I wish I was still there eating a nice cold orange right now.  

We stopped by my grandparent's house and Sully loved the big yard!  I used to walk down this narrow path between the bush and the house when I was growing up too!  Sully found it all on his own.

My mom and grandma trying to wrangle the little guy for a picture.  

Laughing as he escaped and continued on his way

We went to the park a couple times.

And Sully loved the slide.  This was his first time ever going down the slide.

Huge smile :)

First father and son ride down the slide.  So cute!

Man I forgot what going down a slide felt like!  It was scary!  As you can see I am gripping him tightly haha!  I went down this slide on a different day by myself and I flew off the bottom and landed in a hole.  Of course the park was packed with people that day.  It was embarrassing.  

Christmas Eve...trying to get a good picture.  

Sully wasn't happy...poor baby boy.

Another try.

Taking a walk through my aunt and uncle's neighborhood looking at the pretty Christmas lights on Christmas Eve.  

I have so many more pictures and things to update! Stay tuned!
