Happy Birthday Everyone

So July is the month of birthdays in my family. So instead of boring everyone with a post for each one I will do it all in one.

First my youngest sister Rebekah turned 8 this past Wednesday. I took her to see a movie and we are probably having a small family party for her this weekend. So Happy bday BooGirl. Hope you had a good one.

Second is our niece Adria who will be turning 8 tomorrow. She has having a beach party in Cali this weekend. Unfortunately we were unable to go but we hope you have a happy bday Adria.

My grandma Dottie's birthday is next Friday. Since she is back in Connecticut for the summer we don't get to spend it with her but I hope she has a great bday.

My mom's is on the 20 th of this month. They are going to be gone to Oregon for her bday so I hope she has fun and has a great bday up in the cooler weather.

My cousin Jennifer's bday is on the 24 th. Since she is in Hawaii we also won't be able to celebrate her bday until she comes out here in September but I hope she has a great day out there.

Also my grandpa Bill who I don't have any pictures of has a birthday on the 25 th so Happy Birthday grandpa.

I seriously think we need to make a law in my family that no one can have any more kids in July. September is almost as bad as this but not quite.

The last few nights we have been working with Jonah on falling asleep in his own bed. For a long time I have been putting him to bed in our room and then moving him into his room when we go to bed. Well this has resulted in him sleeping in his bed for like two hours and then waking up and ending back up in bed with us. It has been really hard as we have had to let him cry it out, which makes me feel horrible. The poor little guy gets himself so worked up that I just want to pick him up and snuggle him until he calms down. But I know that is the wrong thing to do and every night it gets a little easier and he is falling asleep faster and faster. Last night he fell asleep around 8:30 and I had put him in there at about 8:10 and he slept until 6:00 this morning had a bottle and went back to bed until 10. Before he was falling asleep between 8:30 and 9:00 and waking back up at about 2:00 am to have a bottle and ended up staying in our bed until morning. So hopefully he continues to get better about this and hopefully he sleeps until 10am tomorrow again so I can finally sleep in. The only thing is I miss getting snuggles from him everynight before he falls asleep.
