As usual, I haven't been very good about updating this, but Bryn and Breck keep me pretty busy!
Yesterday was a breakthrough day for Breck. After 3 years of swimming lessons, he finally "got" it. I took him to the SE YMCA where they have zero entry and he can touch the bottom in the whole shallow end. He put into practice what he's been learning - put his face in the water and kicked and ice cream scooped all the way to the wall. We were both so excited! He spent the next hour swimming all over the place!
Bryn is doing well. She's getting bigger and has cute baby fat now. The girl has enough cute outfits to fit three babies! She is sleeping in her swing right now - a rarity, so I got speed cleaning done and am trying to update this quickly as I can hear her stirring and she'll be ready to eat soon.
Sleeping has been ok, mostly b/c I am now worrying about good sleep habits yet. Breck is still in our bed - yes, still but last night he spent part of the night on a mat on the floor so we'll work on slowly making progress. Bryn starts in her co-sleeper but when she wakes up for first nursing, I bring her in bed and she nurses on and off all night, which means we both get sleep. I wouldn't bring her in bed if I was a heavy sleeper, but I'm not so I feel she is safe. When she is sleeping through the night and not nursing so much, I'll work on the separate sleeping.
We are getting ready for an Ohio visit on Friday. It will be a fun week - hopefully Bryn travels well. Breck is excited to see his cousin Trey, sleep in the camper and go to Cedar Point. He's also hoping Uncle Tom will take him fishing as that is not something his dad enjoys.
I am starting tennis lessons again tonight and looking forward to having regular exercise planned. I think we will have to sign up Breck soon as he likes tennis too, but he is so much like me. He gets very frustrated if he is not doing it "right" and he wants to win all the time, but he doesn't want my help showing him how to play. Right now he is in tball and swim lessons and has a YMCA half day, 3 days a week camp for 2 weeks when we get back from Ohio so tennis may have to wait until end of summer, which already feels like it's coming to fast as my first day back to work is August 5 for a training.
Well, Bryn is waking up so signing off!
