School's Out for Summer!

Last Day of School til Fall

I'm afraid we may have a class clown on our hands! He thought he was oh so funny at his class performance today. From spinning his hat to blowing kisses at girls, he was a ham! Forget singing the songs, he was doing anything and everything he shouldn't have been doing!
Do you have any idea how hard it was to get this picture below? The poor kid would NOT sit still!!

2 Month Stats

We had our two month doctor appt today and got 3 lovely shots in Javier's chubby little legs. He is doing great! He is already rolling from tummy to back, cutting a tooth, and growing like crazy! He weighs 14 lbs 2 oz and is 24 3/4" long. That puts him in the 95th percentile for both. I looked up Paco's stats at the same age and Paco was 15 lbs 3 oz and 25" long (100th percentile in both) so Javi's going to be a big boy, too. That should be good for handing down clothes, I guess!

Can't wait to see where Paco is next month at his 3 year old visit. Thankfully, we're done with shots for him til kindergarten.

I was kind of hoping Javi would stay small so I could enjoy the baby days a little more but I guess that won't be happening. My baby's are growing so fast.

How am I doing? Okay, I think. Most days are good but the evenings are long with Javi crying til he falls asleep his 8+ hrs. I try not to complain but it does make it hard with 5 other kids in the house needing things/me. Especially Paco. The weight is coming off, 12 lbs til pre-Javi weight. I am going to put the girls in swim lessons with Paco this summer, take Javi to the nursery and work out at the Y during their lesson time. That's the plan anyway... I just had a friend RUN the Komen Race for the Cure in Boise and am so proud of her. She had a baby 6 months ago... Here is her post about the race. I don't know if I could ever do that race but she trained for it and did it!! YEAH!

I have my down days so keep me in your prayers. We're watching the signs for depression and how long my spells are. I think I'm going to be okay but Roy worries since I've struggled with this in the past.

For today, I'm good! :-)

Javier's Shower

Thanks to a wonderful friend, Patsy, who threw Javi and me a baby shower last night! Here is my precious son and mother who held him since he has colic and the shower went into his "colic time."

We had a nice time and enjoyed visiting with each other. We got some darling outfits, much needed size 2 diapers and a neat "taggie ball." My sis-in-law got me some pampering with a massage that I can't wait to use and my Mom got me this with this note:

"Dear Joy, Grandma Barry started this quilt for me, before I was born, the Caldwell Friends Quilting Ladies quilted it for me to give you to have for our precious Baby Javier Don. Enjoy, Love you, Mom."

I'm thrilled to have this as it means a great deal to me. I have seen the quilt in my mom's hope chest all my life and she was always sorry it wasn't finished. I will hang it in Javier's room as a wall hanging.
