I guess I'm not a very good blogger, am I?
Well, a lot has happened in the Jahn household. Nothing major, so don't get too excited.
We are slowly getting settled in to our new home. Our garage is still stuffed full of who knows what that needs to be unpacked or given a permanent home. Once we get that major task tackled we can set up the bowflex and elliptical!
Lucas is now 6 months old and the proud owner of his first tooth! I will always remember his first tooth, because I discovered it on Thanksgiving morning! I was getting the kids ready to go to grandma and grandpa Jahn's for Thanksgiving, when I noticed his bottom gum looked a little white in one spot. I felt, and sure enough, 1 little tooth had made its way through. I was totally not expecting this, as his sister didn't sprout teeth until at least 10 months (I will have to break out her baby book to see exactly when). It totally explains the cranky clingy baby I've experienced for the past few days, though. Seriously, mama walks out of the room and his whole world falls apart! Poor baby :(
He's also *almost* sitting up on his own. He's still pretty wobbily, but he can sit unassisted for a few seconds at least. Crawling will also be coming soon, I suspect. He gets up on his knees, and he scoots, but that's about it. I really wish he'd stop growing so darn fast!
We've had a lot of drama with Alayna's kindergarten teacher, and she's actually being placed in another classroom begining Monday. I'm very nervous for her, but I'm sure she will handle the change just fine. Her first teacher was just not a great fit for us. I'm not sure if it was US, or if other families are having issues also and just don't know any better... but we are very unpleased. I don't want to place 100% of the blame on her, because I'm sure our unorganization at the beginning of the year because of our move, as well as Scott being....well...."Scott" for lack of a better way to put it, played a part in the all around horrible experience. However, we TRIED to communicate what was going on with our lives, and we made every effort I thought possible to make sure things were taken care of, and the teacher just didn't want to communicate back or understand I guess. Regardless, she's being moved, and I am really hoping that this is a better fit for all of us.
Scott is still working 70 hours a week, give or take a few (mostly give). It's really tough on him, but it's also very tough on us. His presence around the home is almost non-existent, and when he IS present he's not very productive. I am trying to be better about understanding, but it can be pretty frustrating when I only ask that he accomplish a very small list of things I need him to do, and that rarely happens. Our relationship has done an almost complete 180, though, and both of us are working pretty hard on that.
My new part time schedule is working out wonderfully. It's a little stressfull still because we are still not fully staffed and operating at 100% but we're close. It's still difficult to try to complete just as much work in less time, however I'm getting more of a routine established so I do see a light at the end of the tunnel.
SEE, I told you nothing too exciting has happened.......I'll see what we can do about that ;)
