It feels like so much has happened in that last couple of months, even though none of it has been very exciting.
I hate working and having to take my girls to daycare every day. I feel like I am missing out on so much. However, I do love my job and just received a promotion and a raise…so I really can’t complain. My housework is falling further behind and I never have time to do what I want or just spend time with Mike, yet we always find time to laugh and play as a family and that is so much fun.
Izabella is now 2 ½ years old, and don’t forget the half. She is full of so much energy and is learning to much way to fast. “Bella DO IT!!” is her favorite phrase and she never wants help doing anything. Except for, “Mommy Bella done!!” that comes from the bathroom when she is done after she has told me to leave. She always refers to herself in the third person. Bella loves going to day care. Every morning when she wakes up the first thing she asks me is “Mommy, Bella go to Kelly’s today?” On Saturday’s when I tell her she gets to stay home with mommy she asks if daddy will be home too, then it’s ok to stay home with mommy. She is has learned most of her colors, can count to 6 and can put together her alphabet puzzle even though she will not say them to me yet. Drawing and coloring are her favorite past time if she can’t play outside. I think she is going to be quite the artist someday. And her Pappi (my dad), her daddy, and her little sister, A-Bee-Gaaail are the loves of her life. Her biggest complaint about her sister is usually on the way home from day care when she sops out, “Mommy, sister won’t hold my hand!” I hope that their friendship will only grow with time.
Izabella’s celiac blood test came back positive and we need to have her scoped to get a biopsy and confirm the diagnoses. Mike and I have decided to wait till just before she goes to school to have this done. So for now we just keep her on the same Gluten Free Diet as her father, even though we do let her cheat a little here and there. She is learning very quickly what she can and can’t eat. If you offer her Mac and Cheese or Pretzels she will now tell you “No, that makes my tummy hurt. Bella can only eat mommy’s”.
Abigail is really getting big. She is going to eat me out of house and home when she’s older if her appetite doesn’t slow down. I can’t believe how big she is. She’s twice the size Izabella was at 6 ½ month, but she’s still only in the 30th percentile for both her height and weight. She holds her own bottle now, even though she would rather eat cereal or her veggies. Yes Veggies, she is really not a fruit girl. Abi is sitting up on her own, and rolling all over the house. In fact, yesterday I caught her doing the WORM a crossed the living room floor. Yes, I mean the dance move. She looks so funny and cute all at the same time. It’s not going to be long before she is crawling and then I will be in trouble. She’s going to be into everything I just now it!!
Mike is still job hunting and we are really hoping he hears from someone soon. We love Twin Falls, and don’t want to leave, however, we are ready to move on. We are anxious to get a house and to start settling down a little. Izabella already has her new room all planned out. There will be something Tinker bell covering every inch of her room. Mike is getting anxious too. He really loves his job and doesn’t want to leave, but I think he’s ready for me to stay home with the girls.
So that is what is up with the Plane family. We have had some family pictures taken and will be having more taken this weekend while we are in Royal City on vacation. So I will fill you all in on that adventure later, with lots of pictures to include as well. And I am going to try harder to post more often. I might have to try what Anika does and make a day that I will be sure to post weekly. That might be the best idea.
Take care, Love you all,
Mike, Stefanie, Izabella, and Abigail Plane
