Miles can be so incredibly grumpy when he's not feeling the greatest. Meaning he wants to be held almost all the time, he will cry at almost anything and sometimes he will even cry in my arms as I am walking him around. Yesterday, while he was eating lunch and dinner, he seemed fine feeding himself and then he just randomly burst into tears and started to scream. So he barely ate anything. He did that this morning too. He has 6 teeth now at the age of 8.5 months (4 bottoms and 2 top eye teeth) but I have a feeling there's more coming. This morning I was so tired of the screaming so I took the kids out back even though it is pretty chilly out so far today (it was 10am when we went out). I kicked the ball around with Cody and blew bubbles for them. Miles sat on a blanket and was babbling away and watching us. Don't ask me how he was screaming inside non stop but fine outside. Somehow I knew that might happen, which is why I took them out. Cody was so tired after kicking the ball around with me for 45 minutes that shortly after we came in he asked for a nap lol.
Maybe it's just me but it stresses me out thinking of what meals I am going to make each day and what to feed the kids so that they eat healthy and enough. Miles is refusing all purees, baby cereal and yogurt so I always have to sit him down and give him something. He loves toast, pancakes or anything to do with breads like that but the only problem with that is it can be hard to make sure he gets enough fruits and veggies or else he will get constipated. I might buy him some apple juice and see if he will drink some each day even though I don't usually give my kids juice. I doubt he will though since he still just chews on sippy cups and won't even drink breast milk from a bottle. Ugh.
I love kids and am really happy I have two of them but I have found it has been a huge adjustment going from one to two kids. Especially because they're both clingy. I get so exhausted taking care of them. On one hand it sometimes makes me think that a 3 year age gap in between kids might be easier, but then I think they will probably be closer when they are older being 2 years apart than they would be if they were 3 years apart. So even though it is hard now, that makes it worth it for me. I definitely will have my 3rd child three years after Miles was born though. I need a longer break in between kids next time. These two little bums wesr me out!
I can't believe it is the end of April and our weather still isn't the greatest. Most days are quite chilly and get up to a high of 4 or 8 or do. May better be a lot nicer. We deserve amazing weather after the horrible winter we had to put up with.
I have to figure out what to do with the kids this week. Staying in the house is so boring and I don't need to go anywhere really besides out to pick up cat food. I still haven't made any great Mommy friends. Working on it. Next week the kids and I are spending another couple days with my parents since Mike, his mom and friend are driving to North Bay for a couple days and they said they could drop me off on the way. They are going to watch a couple hockey games since their favorite OHL team made it to the playoffs and is doing really well.
I am finally back to counting calories and exercising after a bit of a break. I didn't gain much but I definitely got my fill of Easter chocolate. I am wishing I was skinnier lately though so I need to get back at it. I am finding it so hard to stay on track and not cheat so I hope that break will help me feel fresh and motivated again :)
