Wholly Guacamole.....… I noticed it’s been a while since I blogged anything. But life has been full of crazy lately.. Not complaining here at all because I love to be busy….. Well I left off with Mr. Bentley’s birth story. Wow that doesn’t seem that long ago but really it has been a whole year already. I was fortunate enough to take off 14 weeks to spend with my handsome. During that time Nevaeh was also out of school for the summer. We spent our days at the pool, Splash Park, lunch dates with our friends and most of all lots and lots of snuggling. J Bentley was two weeks old when took our first road trip to Pueblo for a friend of the family’s wedding. We took Bentley on his first camping trip when he was 2 months old and then had to rush back home to welcome little Miss Piper to our family. We made our annual trip to Glenwood Springs, played Mudd Volleyball for the March of Dimes, had a Luau to celebrate my 30th birthday, celebrated the birth of another friends little boy, and attended a friend’s wedding to finish out the summer. My grandpa came into town and was able to meet Bentley and take family pictures with us.
We were fortunate enough to have family and friends watch Bentley when it was time for me to go back to work. As hard as it was to go back I knew that he was in great hands. And plus I am not made to be a stay at home mom LOL.
So me being the one that thinks ahead all the time decided that the layout of our house wasn’t going to work with small children because it was so closed off. SO…. We decided that we would sell in the heat of the market again. I said that I am not moving again before but this time I REALLY mean it! Well at least for a long long while. We stayed in the same area so we didn’t have to switch Nevaeh schools. We love our new house and the open layout that it has. Oh and the best part is there are NO snakes!!!!! We moved just in time because Bentley started crawling at 6 months old. So having the open layout is so much better for us to keep our eye on a busy bee.
Nevaeh decided to try out Volleyball. So we signed her up for a recreation league through the City of Aurora. Bentley had to have his first surgery on December 16th because he had a hypospadias. This was heartbreaking for me. I didn’t want my baby to be put under anesthesia. He did fine but this momma was very sad.
So since we had a gap of time between when we sold our house and when we could close on our new house we had to stay with my mom for a month. We celebrated Thanksgiving with the family and then got all moved into our new house just a few weeks before Christmas. We had Christmas dinner at our house and it was fun to watch Bentley open presents even though he was still kind of young to fully enjoy it.
After returning to work I quickly found out that I was not welcomed back like I thought I would and therefore it created a lot of problems with myself, coworkers, and manager. I thankfully found a new job in February of 2017. Bentley started at a new daycare a little after I started my new job. He loves his daycare and we couldn’t be happier.
May means that our little boy was not so little anymore. We partied with all of our friends and family at the house to celebrate our Mr. ONEderful. I cannot believe that our little (well not really that little, weighing 9 pounds at birth) miracle baby is now a whole year old. I wish that I could stop time and he would stay little forever but that is just not possible. So now we are snuggling (only when he lets us) a 20 pound toddler when he is not running all over the house screaming “Dada”. We are so blessed to be his parents and love him beyond the moon. We think he likes us too, especially his sissy.
Now to ponder when we will decide to go through with another round of in vitro…… for now please send all your good vibes and sweet thoughts our way as we look in that direction.
