AK Update
So the past few weeks have been a bit of a blur. I've been pretty busy at work, two weeks ago the baby and wife were sick with a head cold. I was fine, so I did my best to pitch in. Then this past sunday I got sick. Still super busy at work I had to take a half day on Monday because my quality at work was next to zero. Then took tuesday off as well but was feeling better. Then went back to work and busted it all the rest of the week. Funny thing was I would get to work and feel kind of lite headed and out of it. I'm better now but now I got a nagging cough and still get sinus head aches from time to time. So with all this chaos in the house the past few weeks we just haven't had much time to just relax.
AK also had been waking up a ton at night and it was driving us bonkers. After a few different failed attempts at finding out the problem, we think we stumbled on it last night. We fed her cereal right before bed time and that helped her get through the night. She had just been hungry. That's where some times the Babywise scheduled feedings can let you down, sometimes the kid's hungry when in theory they shouldn't be. The Demand feeders can remedy that by always having a kid on the boob, but that's not our style.
Wifey also tried to introduce a banana to the wee one's diet... wifey and I are both big banana folks. I'm a super picky fruit eater and the yellow banana is one that I allow into my diet. AK must be pickier than me because she was just not a fan. We also gave her a taste of avacado (we made quacamole last night) but I don't think she knew what to do with it. Avacado has practically no flavor for the most part.
So we just sort of had a casual night last night, got in bed at 9:30... yeah that's right 9:30... we're not losers dangit! I was so tired I was falling asleep playing gameboy, so I was glad to get in bed. We stayed up till 10;30 watching tv but wifey felt embarrased.... her response, "Holton you've brought me down..."
To which I replied, "Embrace the 9:30 bed time...."
I'm a loser, I know it, and I'm proud of it. Sure I'd like to go out to a party once and a while, sure I'd like to go to a bar and hang out... but that requires spending money and leaving my house... two things I don't like doing.
Today is the first Sunny day we've had in a good long week. I'm going to give the wife a bit of a day off... about 3 hours, that's all I'm qualified for... so she'll get out and I'll teach Anna-Kate the finer points of video games or college football. Other than that, not much planned.
Here's a great picture of little AK dressed for church last week...
and here's a picture of the Holcrabb weekend. That's what Crabb and I call it when we get together. They came up for homecoming a few weeks ago
