Mom check in

How are you and your kiddos doing?  What's new?

Re: Mom check in

  • Oliver is doing great. He's starting to look less like a baby, and more like a toddler. We close on our house in Ardmore tomorrow and move on Friday. I'm so happy to have more space but we'll miss our little rowhouse in G-Ho.

    Here is a recent pic (using the instagram app):

  • Doing well here. Switched daycares so that was a lil stressful but she's adjusting fine. L is an awesome kid. So so happy and funny. She's really interacting a lot. She gives kisses, which really means she just licks us. She started solids and loves food! She's figuring out how to get up on her hands and knees and shenrocks back and forth. I'm fearing this might be the beginning of crawling. Eta removing pic

  • Doing great. The local pool opened, but we didn't get a pass. So I htink now I'll get my resident card and pay per time. As long as we go less than 15 times it's cheaper to do it this way.

    Drew is starting to talk more. His favorite words at the moment are a tie between:

    Wow (as in when the Subway guy gave him a cookie he exclaimed: wow, wow, wow)

    and

    Sh!t (as in when he drops something he says, sh!t...........hmmm where'd he pick that up)

  • Andrew jsut finished school and got a great report card. He has gotten high honors all year long. I'm so porud of my smart guy.

    Chase has a busy imagination. He changes who he "is" everyday. Somedays he's Spiderman, other days he is Peter Parker (aka he lost his powers a la the 2nd movie), then we have random spurts of Batman or Robin. I think the cutest part is when he pretends Bella is Mary Jane and will say "Mary Jane- I'll save you" and she just laughs and plays along. It can also be confusing because Chase won't be hungry, but Spiderman will and Peter Parker won't, then you have to try and guess which person he is at the moment. I swear, never a dull moment with that kid. He is always making me laugh.

    Bella is so sweet and yet such a drama queen. She is in this new "whiney" phase. She whine's over everything and if she gets in trouble for doing something she's not supposed to be doing, she'll come over and try to kiss you to make it better. Smart kid. Her current goal in life is trying to learn how to jump. She tries in her crib, tries jumping off the step, on the ground. No luck. Eventually she'll get it :)

    We are leaving for our first family vacation on Friday and I am beyond excited. Chase keeps asking when we are going on the big boat. I can't wait to see his face when he realizes just how big it is.

  • Ava is doing really well and will be the big 1 in 10 days :( I'm sad about her growing up but it's really cool to watch.

     She is walking, talking like a lunatic and is just as spunky as can be. She loves daycare and has been doing great!

    We were down the shore last week, went to the beach with her cousin and actually rode on some rides which she loved, loved, loved.

    We will be celebrating her actual birthday down the shore and will be having her grand finale the following week.

  • Milo is doing well. I can't believe he'll be six months so soon. No teeth, he can army crawl pretty well but doesn't have the strength to get up and figure out real crawling, the cats are incredibly greatful at the moment. We are starting solids next week, I am going to try baby led weaning, hoping it works for us. Finally we are taking family photos at our home tonight. Since we are selling I really want to remember our first home and I think this is the perfect way.

    That's a great idea, I'm sure you'll love having those pictures.  I keep forgetting to post on FB but I had home envy after you posted that link.  I may need to hire you when we buy a house to help me decorate it.  I love how clean and uncluttered your house looks...nothing like mine lol!

    yeah we want to move to a bigger house, so we are in the market in west philly, manayunk and fairmount. manayunk is winning at the moment because the prices are so reasonable compared to west philly.

    we are minimalists for sure, hence why i get all uptight about baby ATVs and ***.  although we did put away our winter clothes for those pictures and our coffee table so our house is a bit more crowded usually. 

  • also all three have good school catchments

    Lachute - I am totally taking lessons from you. I looked at your pics too on FB and immediately wanted to declutter every inch of my house! You did a fabulous job with the decor. I'm sure you'll have no problem selling whatsoever.
