After my last entry Miles ended up getting the same fever Cody had for 3 days also which sucked a lot worse because he pretty much wouldn't let me put him down at all and he even had times where he was crying in my arms which doesn't happen often. He also was eating a ton less than normal and by that I mean he was still waking up to nurse twice in the night but during the day instead of nursing 4 or 5 times he was down to 2 times. The rest of the time he would just push me away. So weird! He still ate some solids while sick but only about half as much as usual. He was better as of yesterday though thank goodness!
I am so excited guys! My parents always escape to Florida for the winter and after 3 months of not being able to see them except through Skype, they are on their way home and the kids and I are going to visit them from Friday to Monday. Cody always has so much fun at their house since they give him a lot of attention, special treats and they have fun toys that we don't have. And I love it just to see my mom and have someone to talk to who adores the kids. Yay! Ideally I would visit them regularly once they're home but they live 2 hours away so we usually go once a month or so. This year I might go more since I am off work. I know Miles is in a super clingy stage right now but I really hope he warms up to my mom and lets her hold him since she loves babies and never gets to hold any.
Speaking of Miles, all of a sudden a couple days ago I put him on the ground with me to play with toys and he can sit up by himself. He will fall over once every 5-10 minutes but that's pretty good considering he was falling over constantly a week ago. He's 7.5 months now by the way. He still hates lying on his tummy though so clearly he is nowhere near crawling. That doesn't bother me at all. I prefer him stationary as long as possible. Less chasing required lol.
I cheated on my diet a couple days last week which sucked. It all started with my husband nudging me to have some spaghetti since I haven't really had pasta in several months. So I kind of went overboard and pizza the next night didn't help. I'm back on track this week though with 4 great days so far. I just wish it was warm enough to go for a walk so I could get some exercise that way instead of doing exercises at night when I am pretty tired. I sold an old travel system stroller last week and bought an almost new side by side one off kijiji which I am super excited about. I hate my front to back double stroller and absolutely cannot wait to take the kids out in this new one. Unfortunately, it looks like the weather won't be nice enough for that until Sunday when I am at my moms, which is also my niece's 5th birthday party. That should be fun too :)
Oh and I made the kids blueberry pancakes for dinner last night and they were a huge hit with both of them. Miles loved them so much that he didn't even want any of his pureed food, just more pancakes lol. It amazes me that I just recently started giving him food besides purees and he seems so excited to shovel whatever I give him into his mouth. They sure grow up fast!
