Here in the Riedel home we have been very busy seeing people and doing things this week. On Monday we went and had lunch with my friends from work. It was the four of us and my two kids. Our group is made up of four beautiful, intelligent and diverse women. When they told me to bring the kids I had to ask if they were sure. Let's just say that it has been a while since any of them have had kids of such a young age. :)
On Tuesday, I had a dentist appointment so I took the kids to moms and stayed late. I am trying to get Wesley used to being over there. I am having trouble getting him to sleep sometimes at their house and since he will be there everyday there is lots of problem solving to be done.
Wednesday was a lazy day playing catch up and then Thursday happened. I woke up in pain...I called the doctor and found out that I have mastitis, which if any of you know is very painful. I immediately picked up a prescription, but had it not been for Jacqui, I would not have survived the day. I was having trouble nursing Wesley, but the fact that it hurt to hold him was what she helped with. She burped him and played with him all day so that I wasn't in so much pain.
Wesley is very alert this week and has found his hands. He is very funny. He loves his puppy dog toy and his swing. I love watching him at this age.
I love watching my little Lizzie too. She is a great helper. Every time that she can help...she does. She goes and gets blankets, outfits and toys to bring to me for Wesley and she loves to throw away trash (even the dirty diapers). She is growing so fast. In less than a month she will be 2 years old and it is hard to believe. I think that I might cry that day just thinking about how fast she is growing.
Wesley is well over 2 foot long. I couldn't get him to stretch out because he hates being on his back. He is a tummy sleeper...I know, I know what the doctors say, but if he rolls over during his nap, he starts screaming! He hates to be on his back.
Lizzie has discovered her daddy's hard hat from when he built bonfire at A&M. Yes...look closely at it. She is wearing a hat that is giving the finger. Something from Cody's 'good 'ol days'.
This picture says it all. I don't know who is happier...Cody for having a little boy, or Wesley for having a daddy that sometimes acts like a little boy. I love you babe! :)
Cody got new work boots a few weeks ago which means Lizzie got something new to dress up with. Every time that we go in our room, she comes out with either his boots or my heels.
We have our boat at the house because Cody and I are taking it to Lake LBJ this weekend to celebrate our third anniversary and enjoy some good R & R. Lizzie thinks that it is here for her enjoyment. I wonder what she would do if she knew that it went in the water. We would really be in trouble then.
