The Pearce Family: What we did in May

You think I would update this blog more often but there is no time during the day and once Emmett is in bed Greg is on the computer fill out job applications. But today I finally have some time while Em is napping to update. Three weeks ago I took my last final, I am DONE with classes!! To think I will never have to take another final again is so wonderful! I got As in all three of my classes! You might ask well what now? I still have to finish my thesis. The last 3 weekends in June Greg and I will be in Boss Canyon doing field work then I have until then and December to analyze the data and get my thesis written up to defend! I am a little nervous for field work because Em will be at home with Grandma and I have never been away from him over night! I am nervous about pumping and if Em is going to do okay with a bottle for 8 feedings each weekend!

Greg is busy working with the facilities crew on campus keeping everything green and beautiful! He has applied to several more jobs this week and I pray that we will be able to find a job by the time I am done TAing in the December so Greg does not have to go work at Pizzza Hut or something. I joked with him the other day that if he does not have a job by then I will just go get my PhD and keep being a Teaching Assistant so we will have income.

Cyris has been a very moopy dog. He stretched his crucious (?) limb and hasn't been able to run and jump around for about 3 weeks. We have tried to keep him calm and lazy so it can heal but that is nearly impossbile for a hyper goldendoodle. He thinks we hate him since we cannot take him on long walk and dont wrestle with him.

Emmett is pretty much sleeping through the night now!!!!! What a miracle!!!!! Some nights he wakes up once or twice but we all get so much sleep these days that there is no need for mom to take a nap in that day! I am just loving being at home with Em and Cy all day. We wake up around 7:20 am, Em takes 3 great naps, he eats his solid food really well, goes to bed at 8 pm and he goes to sleep so easy like he always has and STAYS asleep! Em is so much fun! Although he canot crawl yet he can get anyhwere he wants by rooling, pushing backwards abd rotating. He can get up on his hands and knees and then up onto his feet. Before we know it he will be crawling! He loves his solid food! He eats oatmeal and barley cereal, carrots, butternut squash, summer squash, zuchini, sweet potatoes, ruttabaga, cailiflour, parshnips, broccoli, avacados, bananas, and pears. He does like peas but when he ate then he got hives so he hasn't had then sicne. He favorites are by far butternut suqahs and bananas. His least favorits are broccoli and avacados but he wil still eat them.
