September has been a nice month for the Schweers family.
We enjoyed visiting the Plano Balloon Festival again this year. Food and friends made the event lots of fun as well as cooler weather.
Beck had his 4 month check up this month and is doing well. He is weighing in at 17 pounds 11.5 ounces and length was 26.5 inches. Pretty big boy and similar stats to his sister at her age. We are glad they are healthy with all this swine flu stuff going around. Beck also got his own crib this last week of September and has had a few successfull nights sleeping in there. His naps are being more scheduled and we are letting him cry it out more now. He is a happy guy now that bowels are moving and he is sleeping with some regularity. Little man has also rolled over by himself a few times but doesn’t do it all that much. Also, he has found his toes the last couple weeks which is lots of fun for him.
September saw Mother’s Day Out start again for Eisley which has been a nice return to normalcy for all. Eisley has been getting excited for Halloween for some time. We have been reading scary Halloween books and she has been practicing the whole sequence of things to make sure she gets it just right. She likes to go through her list of all the candy she likes and enjoys asking us which ones we like too. Lollipops are still some of the favorites along with Mike and Ikes. She enjoys telling people that she is going to be a ghost so that she can scare people and it will be funny. Really, she will be a butterfly amongst other things. Eisley continues to ask people their nicknames and still likes being called “Juice Box.” She does push some limits at home but she is working at being obedient still. A little spanking, time out or stern talk is helping her to find the line that she should not cross. She likes to take the wooden spoon for paddling and walk around the neighborhood or our house with it so that she can spank any alligators that try to attack her. Eisley has also seen the Willy Wanka movie and will tell you what happened to each child because they didn’t listen. Violet, that turned violet, made her cry because she thinks that she is going to turn into a juicy berry just like her. Pretty darn cute! She has lots of ideas like………….I have an idea………let’s go for a bike ride, get some bagels and donuts for dinner at the park…….how’d that be? Opa lives on in Eisley for sure as she loves collecting rocks and has turned it up a notch and also goes for nuts of all kinds. Jami and her were going on a walk and found a tree that dumped a bunch of nuts and Eisley told momma to “focus on the big nuts.” She is quite the nutter and brings us many smiles everyday.
