Maggie: Five Months







Measurements:

Weight: 14.5 lbs (I am guessing)
Length: 26-27 inches
Feeds: 5 times a day, the morning feeding is getting longer with an afternoon feeding becoming more of a snack. She goes from 9-7ish at night between feedings
Diapers:  Thirsties Size 1, full sized Tots Bots (middle rise!) and Bum Genius 4.0s;  and size 2 in disposables (at night).  We packed up the Tots Bots Tiny Fits this month
Clothes:  outgrowing some 6 months, wearing mostly 6-9, 9 and 6-12 months.
Shoes: none
Teeth: none

Firsts:

8/23/14 - Baptism
8/24/14 - Day in Exersaucer
8/26/14 - First Boat Day
8/29/14 - Road Trip to Beaufort
8/30/14 - Meeting Aunt Jo
9/7/14 - Rolled Over (at Grandmas!)


 Likes:
A warm bath
Laughing with Evie
Time in the Exersaucer
Sucking on her fingers
Sitting in her high chair watching all the kitchen action

Dislikes:
Not having a regular nap (Time for a schedule)
Evie poking her too aggressively
Wet diapers

Other:
Maggie loves being in on the action. She wants to be in the same room with us.

She's starting to crave a regular nap schedule. Time for me to work on that.

Maggie has taken an interest in what I am eating or drinking. She reaches for my cup of water, or bite of food.  She likes sitting in her high chair while we eat.  Solids are right around the corner. We might start a little earlier than 6 months.

We can't tell if her bottom teeth are coming in or not. She's been chewing on her fingers more than sucking lately, and she's been extra drooly. 

Maggie rolled over once at Grandma & G. Daddy's but hasn't rolled over since. Probably my fault for not giving her enough tummy time.

She continues to be a super easy baby, nurses well, sleeps well and is generally a happy girl!

Our Debt Story Part IV: We're Debt Free...now what?!?!

WE’RE DEBT FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Before you celebrate with us, make sure you've read Elizabeth's Story , Eric's Story , and How We Climbed Out of Debt . Two and a half years of gazelle-ish-like intensity + the few months prior as emotional primer and slowed spending, we made it!  We paid off over $50,000.  We have two car titles. Closed credit card accounts. Statements from one student loan (and one on the way!) with a $0.00 balance.  All our debt with Eric’s parents is paid off.  It’s. All. Gone. We also paid for my 3 semesters of grad school in cash.  Paid a second car accident in cash (it was minor compared to the first one).  Went to Nicaraga on a Mission Trip in cash.  Went on a 5 day Puerto Rican vacation in cash.  We’re up to date on medical expenses for the baby in cash.  All while squeezing in travel for weddings , babies, family reunions, half-marathons , mini-vacations and to see out of town friends...in cash! ...

2017 :: Goals

It's New Year's Resolution time.  Regardless of the date on the calendar, I had a crash and burn kind of semester with having a baby in July and starting teaching my own classes in August. It's literally been sink or swim.  We've made little concessions over the last few months, that are fine. I mean you gotta do what you gotta do. But they're starting to add up and take a toll on our house, our family life, our health, and our marriage.  This week before Christmas and New Year's always seems to be this way for me.  We tried Fall and it didn't work so let's try some new things for Spring.  Summer is it's own beast. This week I've been reading Emily Ley's Grace Not Perfection  and Eric and I watch Minimalism  the new documentary from the guys who write The Minimalists   Both focus on the same thing: simplifying your life to make time and energy for what truly matters. In our discussions this week, Eric and I have come up with some thin...
