5Mos Old

Gosh, it seems like forever since I have written on here.....havent really had the time since we got back from Texas. I picked up some extra shifts and just havent gotten back into the mode of being mommy and working since our mini vacation! The biggest news i have is that we have officially transitioned Dreycin to his crib, he is doing pretty well until the middle of the night. He will sleep 10:30-3am, sometimes 4am. Then he wakes up and wont accept just the paci and a few pats on the butt to go back to sleep. So its usually getting up walking with him, rocking him, or bringing him back to bed with me. Yes people he will come to the bed with me after he wakes up, since 1. derek has probably already left for work, and I have to get up shortly myself to go to work. It works for us, and i get to snuggle with my sweet little boy! Derek has been obsessing about getting his stuff ready for Sgt's course in Quanico, Virginia, he'll be gone until almost July! oh the life of a military family....Next weekend will be our last weekend to spend time together, I think we may go to the Newport Aquarium in Cincinnatti, maybe see what kind of shopping is up there too! I also opened up Dreycin's first savings account, my plan is to put $25 from each of my paychecks. I figured it was time since he is now
5 MONTHS OLD! Ive also enrolled Dreycin at some classes with Gymboree, and May 1st we are signing up for swim classes for the summer, we wont start until June 1st! Im sooooo excited about it. I think Derek leaving is a blessing in disguise, because now I wont be signing up for extra shifts at my extra job, and will get to spend more time with Dreycin! He is just everywhere now, you cant take your eyes off of him especially in the living room....where we have cords, the elliptical, wood furniture......ughhh baby proofing is in the near future....like tomorrow!
