Our O’Neill Life 3

Check ups for Quinn and Charlie went great. Doctor said they both are where they should be and Charlie’s bmi curve has started to trend slightly down rather than up so we did a good job making a couple changes to his diet to help with that. Charlie weighs 45 pounds and Quinn 18. Charlie took 3 shots like a CHAMPION and Quinn had just one.  Mike had 4 days off in a row so the kids got to spend lots of time with him.  Big girl!!  She was psyched to sit in this cart with Charlie.  A fan favorite: connect 4  Charlie loves basketball. He’s constantly saying “wanna play ball hoop??” The big patio out front is perfect for it.  Notice the shorts? It was 75 one day last week. A little taste of spring!  Look at this reaction Charlie had from one of his shots.  Holding her bottle like a champ. She’s doing great with formula. Thank goodness. I love being done breastfeeding. 

Quinnie is 9 months old! She and Charlie have checkups tomorrow so we shall see just how much she has grown! Quinn is pulling up on everything and is trying so hard to follow her brothers as much as she can. She’s discovered the stairs and can successfully climb up them. She loves food and gets really excited when I put her in her chair and deliver said food. She’s got a solid appetite. Last night was the first night I didn’t breast feed her in the middle of the night. A little sad for me since she’s my very last baby but our breastfeeding is almost at an end. I’ve gone from pumping 6 times a day to just once and I feel so relieved and less stressed. She doesn’t seem to care/notice she’s now drinking formula but since I don’t exactly breastfeed her during the day I didn’t think she’d care. She’s chatty and is almost able to do “how big is Quinn?! Soo big.”  Also… Charlie’s school is closed for another TEN days because one of his classmates tested positive. To say we’re frustrated i...

Jack went on his first birthday party without me. Luckily his mom is my friend and sent me pics and updates. He had a blast. He told his friend his room was “SO MESSY!” 😳 He deemed nick his best friend ever. Charlie cried when we dropped him off.  Quinn Charlie and I had our own pizza movie night and played outside.  Gf loves swings  Last Sunday we went to the school park and there were a bunch of girls from jacks class having a play date so off they went. They loved Quinn.  Q found a lollipop on the floor and opened it. She was pissed when I took it from her.  I had to separate jack And Charlie for their bath time the other night.  Whenever Charlie grabs Quinn from the stairs she smiles sooo big and kicks her legs  Mom can Quinn lay with me?
