Welcome to My Life...


There’s always something funny, disastrous or heart melting going on in our family of 6. Here’s what we’ve been up to:

Grace went in for her 6 month check up last week. She’ll be 6 months old on the 15th, how the heck did that happen?? Anyway, Gracie is weighing a whopping 15lbs and I think she was like 24 inches long. Despite her massive cheeks and huge thighs, little Miss Gracie is only in the 25% for weight and 9% for height. Not sure how I got a shortie since her father and I are both pretty tall.

Isaac started a new thing. Any time his brother or sister make him mad he yells “NONNI PAPA! NONNI PAPA!” at the top of his lungs. Not sure if this is a distraction technique and he is trying to trick Remie and Charlotte into thinking that Nonni and Papa are at our home. Or maybe it’s a call for help and he thinks Super Papa is going to swoop in and save him from his menacing siblings. Either way it’s quite funny and slightly irritating…

Charlotte. Dear Charlotte. Please God show Charlotte how important it is to wipe her butt EVERY TIME she goes potty. She used to be great at this and I never had to monitor her wiping capabilities. But lately Charlotte has gotten in the habit of rushing doing everything so she can get back to playing. I’ve been finding turds in the toilet and skid marks in her undies.  I know you desperately wanted to know this. You’re welcome.



And now for Remie. If he doesn’t stop sucking his damn fingers I’m going to lose it. His top front teeth have already shifted like buck teeth. Thankfully they are his baby teeth but they are pretty close to falling out. We need to stop this habit before his adult teeth come in. We have tried the bad tasting nail polish, putting tape on his fingers, making him wear a glove and countless other things. I think cutting off his two fingers might be the only option. That’s cheaper then braces right?

As for me. I just ate pasta salad at 9am. Yup it’s that good and yup that’s the only update about myself for the moment. Well I did get my hair highlighted last week…

And lastly Remie Sr…. besides being an absolute stud I don’t think he has any news worthy updates either. Oh wait. Here was our conversation last night.

Remie: blah blah blah I’m 33 blah blah blah

Me: Honey you’re only 32.

Remie: No I turned 33 in May.

Me: No you turned 32 in May.

Remie: I was born in 1980. I am 33 and you’ll be 33 this year too.               

Me: I’ll be 32 this year… *pause conversation while I add in my head*… CRAP HOW DID I LOSE AN ENTIRE YEAR???!!!!

There’s your thrilling update of our family. Stay tuned for more exciting scenes ;)

Poor little Remmie - don't worry, I was way older than he is when I stopped, the teeth will be ok (just don't tell your dentist that!)

I ALWAYS forget how old I am. It's so embarrassing!
