4 1/2 months

This week I turned 28 :) Miss Kyra (aka: the "urchin" or the "duette") is 4 1/2 months old. She is a happy little baby, and reminds me of a guinea pig. Randomly squeaking and doing an all over body quiver jump thing. Right now she rocks the jenny jump up and watches the kitties wrestle. She has figured out that her new toy will make noise if she moves the little joy stick. The toy is for 6+ months so its pretty good that she is making that distinction already.

This week she really has started to look like a "big" baby to me. Before she was still too much of an infant if that makes any sense. She's also been gaining weight like crazy. For about 3 weeks she hadn't gained anything (only 3 oz) and it was freaking me out, so I started to supplement with formula....and because of that she's gained nearly a pound a week for the last 3 weeks! It's been insane, but she is so much happier now. Naps can still be a bit of a challenge, we are attempting to nap right now.....and there is a lot of fuss going on. but she's tired. You can see it in her face, hear it in her voice, and she keeps rubbing her eyes.

I've finally made the decision and jumped in the water so to speak. I applied to Nursing school, and it was full.....but taking classes anyways. Starting in September. I know that over the last year or so I've been talking about potentially doing this or that. I jut want job security and I believe nursing is the ticket! So we shall see how it goes. I'll be taking micro biology and other such classes I haven't taken yet that I will need to take to get the degree. Which thankfully will only be like 2 years due to having my BS in Animal Veterinary Sciences. I have to take the "human" classes :)
