Well it’s only Spring but it has been pretty hot. It isn’t totally unbearable yet but when it starts getting even hotter we may feel the need to use the air conditioning! We used it all summer last year and it forced our electric bill to be 100 dollars extra than usual each month! Yikes, that’s a lot, so we decided to invest in two extra fans as an alternative. They actually do make a difference too and it will cost much less. We have a stand up, rotating one for downstairs and two smaller ones for each of the rooms upstairs. We also have a ceiling fan in the kitchen.

So yeah, we were using them today and the house feels nice. I guess we are set for the summer.

My son is crawling like a pro now, he started picking it up last month but now he’s super quick. He is also starting to stand up already. He can grab onto one of my daughter’s short chairs and then pull himself up. Then he just stands there babbling about how proud he is haha He also can grab onto the bottom stair and pull up on that which makes me nervous because he’s going to start climbing them. I am going to have to start putting the gate up so he can’t.

Well last Thursday I took my son in to his doctors and got him his second flu shot, although it is late it will still protect him from pneumonia if he so happens to get the flu sometime, even though it’s unlikely. While at the office he also received two other shots that he wasn’t given at his last appointment because they were just out of them but apparently they were available again. That is one thing that i don’t like about his doctor’s office is that it is a very popular network of doctors that people use and so they may be out of things temporarily. My daughter’s doctor is more of a private place and that has not happened before but I stick with their separate doctors because those were the ones who checked on them at birth in the hospital, they have all of their records since birth and both seem like they know what they are doing.

On Saturday I went to my friend’s, son’s first birthday. It was at the park near me and it was very hot out. We sat around for like an hour and they didn’t seem to be doing anything such as the cake or presents so we just decided to leave as my daughter got quite fidgety, she didn’t want to leave when we left though and I felt bad. We just got done swimming out at the pool today though and she really seemed to enjoy that. The earlier she learns to swim the better. We got out when the pool cleaning guy came though, although I think it’d be better if he serviced the pool early in the morning.

My daughter did really well at her appointment last Monday. I thought she would be more upset about certain things but she was very cooperative. Although a little baby was crying in the next room and that kind of scared her.

This was the first time where they actually took her blood pressure and she didn’t like that at all because she said it hurt her arm.. but afterwards the nurse went and got her a sticker. Then when the doctor came in to see her he said she was all up to date on shots so she didn’t get any this time but she did get a lab sheet and need to give blood to check it for iron, it’s something they do every year. When we went to the lab to get the blood drawn she screamed when they started taking the blood but right afterwards she calmed down and said she felt better. She got like 3 stickers for that one! She also had to pee in a cup which was funny, I’m not sure if they expected her to be able to do it or not but she did it.

While at her doctors the nurse also did a quick eye check thing to try and pick up any signs to see if she needed a referral to an eye doctor. They ended up giving us one because she wouldn’t say what the shapes were when she was far back and the nurse just thought she didn’t know the shapes but when she moved closer she told the nurse what they were. The doctor also said we could start taking her to the Dentist.

So her next check up will be when she is 4 and she’ll get some shots and things then..

We took the kids to aquarium of the pacific on Wednesday, the trip was kind of part of my daughter’s birthday gift. My daughter loved looking at all the different fish and things that they had, a lot of it stood out very brightly in some of the dark rooms. My son slept for the first half of the time we were there but then later he also got to look at some things and seemed very interested lol He wouldn’t take his eyes off of the displays, except to smile at me from time to time.

There were also some hands on things that children could touch, I guess my daughter was a little too young though, because she couldn’t reach far enough into the pool to touch the animals. They were also feeding sharks while we were there.

It was fun and the breeze felt so nice there in Long Beach. Our next trip definitely needs to be to the beach..

Also, my daughter’s check up is on Monday so we’ll see how that goes. I’m sure it will go fine.

My daughter’s birthday went extremely well yesterday. Before her birthday I would tell her about her birthday and that it was coming very soon so when it finally did she was very excited. We had several guests about 10 or something and everyone got here pretty much on time and it went smoothly from there. I already had the place decorated since I woke up early and we served pizza right when everyone got here and we also had lemonade. My friend Amanda even showed up. My daughter was very happy about the company.

Anyways, after everyone was pretty much done with that we moved onto the cake. We sat my daughter at the table and she helped put 3 candles in the cake, we sang to her (which she loved) and then she blew out the candles on her own! It was so cute. The cake had a cute princess on it that my daughter picked out and it was huge and delicious. I gave plates of cake to people to take home afterwards and I still have some left.

She opened all of her presents after and loved it. She got tons of clothes, puzzles, pooh, tigger and eeyore characters. She got a bike from my dad and she also got a play kitchen me and her dad picked out for her along with a helmet for the bike a birthstone barbie, money and some other things. I bet her dad is going to love setting up the kitchen for her lol The whole thing only lasted about 3 hours but I still have all the party stuff up. It was a very fun time and now I’ve got to get her ready for her 3 year old check up = (
