That's how old Sweet'n'Lo is. It's been an amazing four months. Every week marks another milestone. I've already surpassed my goal of breastfeeding for at least four months. I didn't have the discipline to continue with my first baby girl. I was working full time and I didn't have the resources to be as informed as I would have liked.
Another change is that we're cloth diapering with this one. That has been quite an experience. We're still using disposables for overnight. Eventually I'd like to be completely cloth diapering and sposie free! I have found that cloth diapering is not as easy as I thought it was going to be. And, I'm still learning. But, I'm happy to be doing something that is good for the environment as well as being good for our budget. The upfront cost is high, but the end result is worth it.
Princess Cranky Pants has gone back to school. She's in the last couple of months of second grade. And, she's made her reading goal to get up to the third grade level for her advanced reading. She has been working so hard. I'm SO proud of her! They started a new unit in math: fractions. It's ironic because I've been teaching her, informally of course, fractions at home while we bake.
Last Friday was 324th day at Bellows AFS. As usual, it was very windy out there. But, it was fun, as always. It's always so beautiful out there, even when it's not so sunny. Both girls were able to model their new swimsuits. I can't believe how tall and lean my sweet Princess Cranky Pants is. She is absolutely beautiful. I'm in for trouble when she hits her teenage years. Sweet'n'Lo and her little chubby legs tested out the cold saltwater. I am not sure whether she liked it or not. All in all, it was and exhausting but FUN day.
Well, there isn't much that is going on, aside from the everyday stuff. Just biding our time.
A hui hou!
