We've found a new sitter who keeps infants away from all the other kids and she only has one infant with Mallory and just 2 other kids and can never have more than 6 at any time. She is a licensed KY home care provider. I feel pretty good about this one. She's a little further out of the way, but still not bad. The only down side is I have to pick Mallory up by 5, but she's only about 10 minutes or so from the office, so hopefully it shouldn't be any big deal.
Scott, Amy, Blake and Eli all came Wednesday evening to stay through the Holiday. It was great to see them and although we didn't do anything too terribly exciting, but we had a nice relaxing visit. We spent some time in the local park, did a little shopping, shot some fireworks, went down to Mom and Dads to go swimming at the Country Club and showed Eli dad's tractors. It was a good visit. Bud and Susan came back over on Saturday, so we all had some good time to visit.
We celebrated Bean's first 4th of July in Elkton. We all treked down there so Blake could go swimming, the boys did some shooting, Eli got to see the tractors and Bean got to wear her swimsuit and basically dip her toes in the pool. Mom came with us to the pool so after Mallory's 5 minutes in the pool she could take her back to the house while the rest of us swam. The water was pretty chilly, so she didn't seem to like it much and we really just got her feet wet, but it was a photo opp never the less. We then cooked out at Mom and Dads and enjoyed the evening before heading back to Utica so Ben and Blake could shoot off the rest of the fireworks.
Today Bean is 3 months old! Seems crazy that she is already 3 months old. I went through her milestone check list and she has successfully hit every milestone that should be met by the end of 2 months. She's just started some of the cooing and making the ah and ooh sounds, but she did start right before the end of 2 months. So far she seems fairly on target.
Amy brought Bean a bumbo seat and she's such a cutie pie sitting in it. I've got some pictures of her sitting in it and she looks just like Ben in those pictures. Who knows, she looks a little like all of us at times! I guess she's just a good mix!
This week is also the week I start my Couch 2 5K plan again. I spent the month of June working out 3-4 times a week for 40 minutes each to help build endurance back. Granted the past 2 weeks haven't involved much if any exercise, but I'm pretty confident I'm ready to start the C25K. I will have to go slow, but I'm starting it and that's all that matters. It's a 9 week program working your way up to running a 5K (3.1 miles) by the end of that period. I'm ready to get running again and in another couple of months Bean will be big enough to go in the jogging stroller and it will be cool enough for her to go out with me.
Here's some more pictures from the weekend and there's more that I've uploaded to her shutterfly site for you to see.
