adventures in breastfeeding cont...

as you all know i was in the process of weaning peanut due to the many complications with nursing her. in a fantastic turn of events i was able to figure out the cause of the issues and remedy them. hooray! i will be able to continue nursing peanut for a while as i had wanted to in the beginning. the good thing that came from all this is that i am able to leave her with grandma for a bit once in a while and not end up in pain over it. so there is the news on the breastfeeding front.
as for peanut butter who will be SEVEN months tomorrow, she finally cut two of her bottom teeth and i believe is in the midst of working on the top two. she's of course sitting on her own as you can see by the blog below. i doubt she'll bother with crawling however and just go straight to cruising things. the kid truly hates tummy time. peanut has been eating solids for about two months now, and starting tomorrow will begin with teething biscuits and puffs. i still can't believe she's already at this stage!
and monkey, our TWENTY-ONE month old started off today with climbing right out of his crib! so much for that barrier, guess it's time to take the sides off and move him into his toddler bed. i mean what's the point of the crib now? he then turned the door handle and came on out into the hall. holy toddler-proofing time batman! monkey's trying all sorts of new things this week. his daddy and i, took monkey out for a day alone with mommy and daddy sunday while g-ma and g-pa watched peanut. we wanted to see how monkey would react to the pool at the YMCA since we plan to enroll him in classes this fall. he LOVED it! i'm so excited to start him on those. there is also a yoga "mama and me" class that i'm going to take him too. that should be some fun. other then that, monkey has finally cut all his teeth but his two year molars which makes for a much happier little man. however...he's has gone running head-first and full speed into the terrible two's. massive temper tantrums and screaming fits. oh hooray. it amazes me what sets him off too. like a door being open (or closed depending on the mood). or not being allowed that tenth fig newton because he may never stop pooping!
(i swear this shouldn't run together, but i can't figure out how to keep it from looking smushed. sorry)
