Bumbo time...

Here's big boy Cole in the bumbo! Of course he started screaming after the pic! Oh well!

"Mouses"

We have an infestation...of kung zhu pets. Oh my little boys. They can laugh and play and run in circles with these little rats (that Max calls Mouses). They creep me out but the boys think they're hilarious. I'm afraid this is just a little glimpse into the crazy boy stuff that's gonna start working its way into my house!!

All 3 boys...

In one picture!! Yay!!

Max & Jake

They have been playing so well together today...now with their imaginext space shuttle!!

Right now...

I'm leaving for work for the night. So hard to leave when my boys are doing this- reading together!! Max is telling Jake and Jas all about the story and Coley is right there enjoying it!! I love my boys!!

Jake!!

Not a full on tot school post...but a fun tot school type activity!! Jake has had this since Christmas and he loves it now. Its just a fisher*price milk jug with 5 cookies and a slot in the top. He loves to dump them and put them back in the slot- and mommy claps every time!!!

I want to get my act together (as soon as I'm feeling up to it) and do some more activities (and document them).

Jake is growing up so fast and is really learning how to play independently! I love it! He loves books too (just like big brother)! He's still not saying much and we can tell it frustrates him (and us too!). We're working on using the paci less (but it has been a tough week and a half with a new little brother in the house).

Cole is 8 days old!!!

We missed the one week picture, but this pic was taken last night (@8 days old). Mommy got Cole's chair cover personalized yesterday (and Jake's new cover) so we got a pic of the 3 boys!!!

Cole is doing great. He's feeding well, sleeping well, and adjusting great to the general volume of the E house!!! :)

He had an appt tuesday (a weight check) and was at his discharge weight of 6 lbs 6 oz. We follow up again tuesday for another weight check to make sure he's on track. (that will be a big day...we're taking all 3 boys to the pedi for appts...Max and Jake have well visits and flu shots). Pray for that outing.

We're hoping to go to church tomorrow, as long as mommy's recovery continues, and then to papa's for a hopefully sunny fall day!!!

Fun lunch

I attempted a fun lunch today for the boys. Not completely healthy- mac*n*cheese and a lunch*able. But I'm trying to expand from pizza and hamburger!!!

My 3 boys

We're getting settled in as a family of 5 and I'm loving it!!!

Introducing...

Happy Birthday Baby Boy!!!
Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry

3 Years Old!!!

My baby turned 3 today!!!!

So we had a Toy Story 3 birthday with the cousins!!!

Max got Buzz Lightyear from Mommy and Daddy!!

He loved the spaceship box almost as much as Buzz himself!!!

All the cousins had so much fun playing with the new toys: Handy Manny, Trio, and Duplo!!! They had a blast!!!

All in all it was a great birthday. Little brother/sister decided not to come today (although mommy was unsure at some points). Max celebrated with his cousins and had a wonderful time (except he still doesn't like it when people sing to him!!!).



And just for a trip down memory lane....here's my baby, just minutes after he was born.....


And the chair pic that started it all....one week old. He was such a little peanut and is now my big big boy!!!

Happy Birthday Bubby Max!!!!! Mommy, Daddy and Jake love you sooo much!!!

Right now...

Max loves books. Jake loves books. Mommy loves seeing her boys read!

Haircuts at home!!!

My boys were long......


long...overdue for haircuts.

Jake was sporting a Beiber and Max looked like a blond Jonas.

Don't get me wrong...they were adorable...but starting to look like pretty little girls.

Problem, the last haircut both boys got was so traumatic even mommy didn't want to go back. They screamed and hollered. They hated every minute and set each other off...one would cry so the other one would start. This was even at one of those kids places where they sat in tractor and firetrucks.

I knew there was a better way. Jas and I talked about me cutting their hair. I've read about other bloggers doing it and saving tons of time and $$$. Jas even offered I do his too!!!

So with some convincing from my coworkers, I bought a $20 set of clippers.

We turned on Toy Story 2 I cut my 3 boys hair (Jas, Max, and Jake). It was actually not traumatic at all and while it's not perfect....it's doable. And the clippers actually paid for themselves that day!!! And Jas said I could do it again!!! Yay!!! I feel like it's another rite of passage into motherhood!!!

I know you're curious...here's the after shots...now I said it wasn't perfect...


Jake

Max

This was a while ago and they're all actually due for another soon!!!!

Tot school update!

I haven't posted much tot school stuff lately- but I promise we're still doing all the activities! I'm just not having the chance to organize my thoughts into a post!
But here's proof! Jake played with these cups for a good 20 minutes this am. We stacked. Knocked down. Stacked again!
His motor skills are really getting strong!!

Jake loves books!

This boy loves to look at books! He's so much gentler with them than big brother ever has been!

How Max's potty training is going...

Wrong kid. Fully dressed. Pulled the potty into the hallway. Sat on it.

Jake may get it before Max does! Haha!

A day out and about!

The boys were so good for mommy today! We went out just the 3 of us for the first time in a long time! Since it wasn't too hot we went to a local shopping area and walked and mommy was able to get some shopping done! They were very good for me!! They're really growing up!

Happy father's day!!

Not sure when or if my babies' daddy will read this blog...but I wanted to wish him and all the other baby's daddies a happy father's day!!!

Jason- I love you so much!! You are an amazing father and husband!! Thank you for all you do for us!!

Love,
Kristi, Max, Jake, and the bean.
