Well Baby...

Well today was B's four month check up. And well, he's perfect! That is what Dr. P said and I believe her!
He was 16lbs 9.5oz (75%) and 26" long(80%)! He also had some xrays of his hips. They do this with all breech babies. And guess what? Those looked perfect too!!

He can start on rice cereal! Then after 2 weeks we can try some oatmeal! After that we can start real food! Q and I decided that B can start rice cereal on Saturday so we can make a big deal of it, 'cause let's face it we don't have time to celebrate much on a weekday morning! I am sure we will take lots of pictures for you! I know Porter is probably the most excited about this! He is ready to prove he is still great at cleaning up!

And as excited as I am about B's growth, his growth leaves me sad. He is outgrowing his clothes faster than I can put them away and get out the new ones. He has discovered his hands (and likes to chew on them). He gets excited when I walk into daycare at the end of a long day (this makes me smile from ear to ear). He squeals and chats to anyone that listens (and we do). He is strong. He holds up his head and pushes off of things. He still hasn't rolled over, but he wants to so bad. He wants to be on his back a lot now and every time I put him on his back he tries and tries to roll over. He was extremely close today. I was alone and was sure that if he did it, NO ONE would believe me! He loves to blow raspberries. He reaches out and grabs things. Today we wanted to play with the empty hangers in his closet. He is captivated by mostly anything! I hope that he always stays that inquisitive. I think?

But for now I will soak up my perfect four month old baby boy.

Christening update coming next...maybe tomorrow night if I am up for it?

Happy Birthday to you..

So I was going to take a night off from blogging, I mean really, I just posted last night!
But I had to share with you what my sweet sweet boy did today at school. He was at the play-doh table doing what 2 year olds do at the play doh table. Hopefully not eating it! When his friend Avery got to school she wanted to play at the play doh table too. However, there were already 4 people there so she had to find another station to play at. But she really wanted to play at the play doh station. That is when my sweet sweet boy let her have his spot at the table!
So he is generous and sweet too!

Happy Birthday to my sweet sweet hubby too! I wasn't going to do candles but Q insisted....so this is what I could find!!

Happy Birthday to my CP

Out with the old...

in with the new!

Good bye 2009. Hello 2010.
I am sorry I haven't blogged in a bit...we've been a bit busy. And if I had the time, I would have sat and refelcted a bit about what I should say about 2009. However, I am pretty sure you can guess the best thing that happened to me in 2009.

Of course it is. B joined us. And my world changed. Again. This world is amazing and I highly recommend joining it. B started school today. Here he is in his new coat (compliments of Aunt Kelly). I know, he's adorable! (Hey, it's my blog, I can say what I want!)

For one month he got amazing care from our friend Kelly, his amazing and favorite Aunt Sarah and the one and only Grandma. I hated leaving him, but knew he was in good hands. I am sure his new care takers are very qualified as well, but no one compares to that list of angels. He is getting close to sitting up and is trying extremely hard to roll over!
Here he is, trying to roll over

Q amazes me everyday with the things he says and does. He still LOVES his baby brother. The way he says his name makes me giggle. He also likes to call him "big time"! Our conversations are hilarious. It's not neccesarily the things he says but how he says them. However, some pretty funny things come out of his mouth. AND, AND, AND he is listening better!!!! He is getting so big and discovering more of who he is. Who he is is independant and lively. Creative and imaginative. Sassy and loveable. Incredibly sensitive. He is charming and he knows it and he knows how to use it!
Q with his new shaving set

He was very dissapointed when he woke up on Jan 1, that Santa had not brought presents but instead took the ornaments off the tree. I tried telling him that was me. It was the start of a new year and we would have to wait until next December for Santa to come again. I guess the classroom celebrations confused him and he thought Santa was coming again. I think he was so sad because he thought he had been bad and that is why he didn't bring presents. I am not sure about it all, but it sure was sad around here that morning!

I think my boys are pretty cool. But I can honestly tell you, I am not alone. Here are Q & B in their "Center of the Universe" tees. That I did not buy!! Those are from their Zanney & GGP.

So as cool as 2010 is starting out 2009 was pretty darn amazing. It will be hard to beat it! I hope that it goes a little slower than 2009 and that I can sit down and enjoy more of it. I hope to savor a little more of every day with the boys that I find absolutely amazing. I hope that I can make myself help slow it down. Take in the moments. Live them, breathe them, soak them up. Hold them close and remember them forever. I hope that I can enjoy all the smiles and learn from the tears of being a mom and wife.

Come on 2010, BRING.IT.ON!
