Brothers...

well, it's hard to believe that it's been almost three months since we welcomed Mitchell into the family. Life is good...but very, very busy. I started back to work this week which is another adjustment. The boys are adapting very well..though Connor has voiced his opposition to my working several times.

It's been a gift to see the boys growing together. They are so full of love (usually) for one another. There have been a lot of hugs and kisses in our house this past week. I can't get enough.

Here's an update on the boys

Mitchell
  • you are smiling all the time...you coo and almost laugh and love people
  • you're sleeping like a champ...usually asleep by 9:30 and wake at 5 am!
  • you've adjusted well to day care and enjoy the mobile in your crib there
  • You are growing longer (taller) every day...right now you're in the 95th percentile
  • You do not take a pacifier or suck your thumb...but that's okay, because you don't fuss much
  • YOU ARE SO LOVED!

Connor

  • You are getting so big, I can hardly believe it
  • You can't wait for your birthday...but don't quite get the concept of time yet
  • You are working on your letters...and getting better, but don't quite have them which frustrates you
  • You love Mitchell and call him a cutie pie
  • You are a big helper to mommy...you are eager to give a hand when asked
  • You are a picky eater right now...you don't like foods that smell funny and are pretty much a vegetartian
  • You love ham loaf, brocolli, baby carrots, bread, yogurt, and peanut butter
  • You enjoy Thomas, Bob the Builder, and cars
  • You love reading books...and like to "read" to your brothers
  • You can ride a tricycle, but struggle with your bike with training wheels (you say its because we didn't get you the spider man bike!)
  • You come up with some awesome "connor-isms" - like the people who stopped us while we were taking a walk to ask if we had all boys. You answered "yes...good for us!"
  • You love to dress yourself without help and want to learn how to tie your shoes
  • You are eager for kindergarten
Jackson
  • You are talking all the time
  • You love Mitchell...you sit with him, hold his hand, give him kisses...sometime you just ask to see him
  • You love going to school and like to make Miss Katy proud of you
  • You have the cutest little run...little tiny steps with a bit of a prance
  • You KNOW your alphabet...when mommy wears a t-shirt with letters on it, you name every one!
  • You sang in front of the whole church last month with the older kids and did a great job!
  • You like to wipe off the kisses mommy gives you...then asked for more kisses
  • You like to snuggle
  • You follow your brother Connor around..but still like to do your own thing when you want to


Sawyer
  • You a barrel of joy and love wrapped up in a little boy
  • You love to read books and often sit in the rocking chair and page through them yourself
  • You can touch your head, feet, hands and belly when asked (when we ask where's your belly, you proudly pull up your shirt and show us skin!)
  • You are starting to talk...you say momma, dada, thank you, i do it, please, no, no, no and no!
  • You've said Mitchell clear as day...once
  • You love to run, jump, play in the sand box and are magnetically attracted to puddles
  • You love water and like to push your chair up to the sink to "do the dishes"
  • You are a little aggressive...and have gotten your first time out in day care
  • You love to smile and laugh...and be silly



Coming up next....our fun summer project! (No, it's not another baby!)
