Other than that, things in the Barrera house are fair to middling. Anthony is coming down with a cold and we are praying that it doesn't turn into the croup again! He's also teething, so you can imagine the pleasure cruise that our house is! Other than all of that, he has mastered rolling over and does so ever time that you lay him on the floor. He is also sitting up on his own pretty well. He looses his balance pretty easily, but he's getting it. And, he is holding his own bottle (when he wants to) but still occassionally has those wierd spastic baby moments where he slings the bottle on to the floor or just slides the nipple across his face leaving a nice trail of formula or juice.
Poor baby....
Jaiden is doing okay in school. We have the Reading TAKS Test on Wednesday so we are hoping for the best! We just found out that she is struggling with multiplying her "3's". The rest of the class is now on "7's" and Jaiden is still on "3's". Thing is...they do a number each week and this is the first time that Brian or I have heard anything about her struggling. I understand that Jaiden should have said something to me, but isn't it also a bit on the teacher to send home a (failed) test, or shoot me an email to let me know that she should be working on them extra a bit before she is FIVE weeks behind the rest of the class? I dunno, but that is now our newest focus. Any tips or suggestions on memorizing times tables are greatly appreciated!
Tonight, Miss Jaiden was feeling a bit 'froggy'
Oh come on...it was cute!
Brian is still kickin' butt with his job and we are hopeful that he will get signed on full time. We were just talking about how amazingly blessed we are both being able to be home with the baby! It has really helped Anthony and Brian have a special bond that a lot of fathers aren't able to experience this early on. I was so worried after having him because the first three months or so Anthony was stuck to me (literally!) and would cry when Brian held him. I know that it broke his heart, but know, every time that Anthony sees his Daddy walk into a room, he gets the greatest little grin on his face and usually reaches for him when I am holding him and we're standing next to his Daddy. Thankfully, (and especially right now with him not feeling good), I still get my Mommy moments, so I am happy!
I hope that everyone has a wonderful week and I'll write again soon!

I have a really cheesy multiplication rap CD I use in my classroom. I will burn you a copy and bring it up this weekend.
