ole schnikees: 2018 :: 22/52

Tova: slept through the night twice this week!, started taking naps with both arms out of her swaddle, rolled from her back to her side once, got back to taking 45 minute or less naps (had a couple days where she would wake up crying after 20 minutes but put herself back to sleep once she found her thumb to suck on), she saw, reached for & grabbed a toy, she still eats for only about 7 minutes at a time and poops almost every time she eats still, switched to longer awake times during the day (about 2 hours) so she went down from 5 naps to 3 (a short one 45 minutes, a long one about 2 hours 45 minutes, and then another short one 45 minutes), she scooches a little now using her feet & legs usually to the side but will push off my legs on the floor too, seemed a little off sunday and Monday and that's when she started putting toys in her mouth, she had rosie cheeks on Monday but no fever so possibly her teeth were moving,

Monday night Tova slept through the night! she just woke up at 610a to eat and then went back to sleep until 8 am!

Tuesday was hot out again so we didn't do much. the kids and i ran the mortgage check in in the morning, then Al and trevor went outside to mow the lawn (but trevor didn't last long out there; it was hot and he was sweaty.) Tova had her first successful 2 arm out of the swaddle nap! she also got her first braid. :) Unc-o sent trevor a new sprinkler so we did try that out a bit in the afternoon.

Wednesday Al worked 3p-3a and Jodi had her baby that night! Miss Carsyn Kay was born at 647p with barely one push.

Thursday Al worked 6p-6a. at naptime i was able to do some garage saling (didn't find much) and got to meet baby Carsyn and give her the quilt I've been working on for her.

Friday was quite a bit cooler than it's been so after i fed tova and made our breakfast smoothies, the kids and i went for a nice long walk with a stop at the smaller park near our house towards the end. while we were at the park, i saw 3 garage sales, so we walked home to grab my wallet and then walked back to the garage sales. it was muggy out and the sun had just come out as we were getting home, so we were hot (including tova in her carseat.) then we came back home to play, had an early lunch, and trevor was asleep for nap by 1230 (unheard of!) Al got up during naptime, so i was able to mow the edges and weed the garden before trevor got up and they joined me outside. Al did the weed wacker on the edges i couldn't get, helped get the sod out of the garden areas i had previously dug for our pumpkins and strawberries, got the top soil and manure in there, and i was able to plant our 2 strawberry plants in there. trevor and i also planted our hummingbird and butterfly flower mix and some different lettuce. then we all had showers, ate supper and watched a movie.

Saturday morning once Al was awake we played outside in the backyard for a bit between rain showers (it was 60 degrees out and wonderful!). I tried tova on the schedule I had trevor on at this age (thanks to this blog I know what that was) and it worked! she was awake for 2 hours, took a short nap, then awake from almost 2 hours again and took an almost 3 hour nap!!! matt brought their stuff over for the garage sale so I have the tables and can start setting up on Tuesday. after naps (trevor didn't nap) we went next door for Abbie's graduation party. we were over there for about an hour and mark carried tova most of the time so she was part of the welcoming committee. :) we met the old couple who lives across the street from mark and Jackie, and the family we bought our house from was there so they were asking questions about the house. trevor was a hit with everyone, too, as he was running around and playing ball. :)

sunday morning after breakfast, all 4 of us drove up to mom's house. we made our lasagna for the lake, played a bit, trevor didn't nap, we had supper, then I played softball at 6&7. we drove home after softball since Al needed to sleep in since he worked Monday night. mom and trevor came to the first game (trevor was tired but still ran around a lot) and Tova seemed a little off so Al and her stayed at mom's. Tova only took a short nap and wouldn't take a bottle at all this time. so I fed her quick after softball and we headed out. as exhausted as Trevor was he was a bit of a chatty cathy at first for the first 25 minutes or so, then both he and tova were out. Al was able to transfer Trevor into bed successfully but Tova didn't sleep once I got her in the crib, so I fed her again and then she was out.

Monday morning we were still pretty exhausted but we went over to jenny's to play for a bit. Tova napped in Klare's crib, trevor had fun playing with Kourtlyn, and then once Tova was up, klare went down. we came home and had lunch, trevor looked really tired, Al got up and put him down (he took a 2 hour nap), and then I went to the grocery store. after nap, we played with Al a bit then once Al left for work, we got ready to go to Camdyn's baseball game. it was a beautiful night to watch baseball, there was a wind but it was warm and somewhat sunny. Trevor was a super good listener at the baseball game so after supper he got a treat, an ice cream push up.
