Twas the night before 1st grade
Our big kids start 1st grade tomorrow. They are ready. I think we are ready too. Their friends in Arkansas, started last week. They started in Mississippi a couple weeks ago.
Friday night we went and met their teacher and looked around the school. It will definitely be different. We were hoping they could ride the bus but due to wonderful sequestration, the bussing is VERY limited. I may see what I can do once school starts about the afternoon bus because I have to walk them in to take them and to pick them up. That will really mess with C's schedule. Poor kid gets dragged around everywhere. They have P.E. for 45 minutes every day. They must want to get these kids in good shape. They get 35 minutes for lunch too. That will be nice! Their special classes are art, music, library, computers, and Spanish! I love that!
The backpacks are out with new school year paperwork completed, supplies (so many supplies) were delivered on Friday, and their lunch boxes are out and ready to be packed. I cannot believe we have 1st graders now. I feel old.
They are excited and nervous. It is a comfort to them (and me) that they have each other. They chose to stay together again this year so they have a built-in friend.
Their bedtime story tonight was Twas the Night Before First Grade :)

Happy 5 months, Caleb!
Caleb was 5 months old yesterday! We adore this little chunkaroo. He is doing great with the move and of course he behaved for the loooong car ride with Andy. Little stinker!
He is very interested in what everyone else is doing. He doesn't like to nap if people are around because he might miss something. He loves the four of us and smiles so big. He likes to grab our faces (and hair). He rolls to his tummy as soon as you lay him down then gets mad because he doesn't like being on his tummy. He sleeps through the night (at least 10-12 hours). He loves to play with toys now and touch things. He constantly grabs our drinks and at our food if he is nearby. I think he is almost ready to start trying foods.
He loves when I sing to him or when someone reads to him. He also likes to play with my phone. Seriously I never imagined I would let a baby play on the phone. I guess it helps with eye hand coordination. Babies come out of the womb loving technology now. He is working on sitting on his own. He still falls over quite a bit but he is getting better. He prefers to stand and his little chunky legs are so strong. Surely he is teething with all this drool and attacking anything that comes near his mouth. He still prefers to nap with me but sometimes he will fall asleep in his swing or rock 'n play. He loves to be naked and his feet are an endless source of amusement. He's a toe and thumbsucker. :)
We went to the doc to meet his new pcp and get more reflux meds. He weighed 14lbs 10oz and was 26.25 inches long. He's long and skinny according to them. Did they not see those fat rolls on his legs and arms?

Farewell, Friends
We had a little going away party with A&E's friends before our move. I don't think I've mentioned we moved. I have a good excuse for slacking on the blog this time. We moved with Andy for his training then we'll head to our next base that is a bit more permanent than this move. Living in temporary housing is so fun.... said no one ever. Back to the point though... A&E had a blast at their last playdate with friends. I think I was more upset than they were. This is all an adventure to them.
