You make me Smile!

Ahh, my little man! I just love you! You are 8 months old now and just about as big as your sister Amberly! You have 2 teeth (bottom), you love bananas, squash, yogurt, cheerios and crackers. You can sit up very well for long periods of time and once in a while you will roll over. Mom is defenetly OK with the fact that you are just content with sitting ;) You can grab and pick up just about anything. You LOVE your blanket! I LOVE how when i lie you on your blanket you get all giddy and smiley and grab at it and eat it and just squeel with joy! So cute! You give great kisses and have the sweetest hug, Nonintentionally i'm sure, but you say dada pretty consistently! And you weight in at 20.2 Lbs. So far you've only had 3 ear infections and fallen off the bed 2 times :( Lets not do that anymore!!

You have the greatest smile with the cutest dimples that i just have to kiss all the time! You love playing peekaboo with your sisters and they love holding you. You love to stand (with assistance of course) but i literally have to bend you at the waist to get you to sit cause you are stiff as a board all the time wanting to stand.

I just cant believe how big you've grown and how fun you are...we all love you!

Just one of them days...

Wake up with a kid on both sides of me and another crying.
Broken car.
6th Doctor visit in 2 months for 3rd ear infection!
3 yearold obsessed with clipping toes...hide all clippers!
No naps for baby...due to darn ear infection.
Sad 3 year old due to lack of attention due to sad baby due to ear infection!!!
Not 1,2,3 but 4 overdrafts ... #%*$!
Wood chips in smoothie! (Note to self...do not use wooden spoon in a going blender.)
Gum stuck in 3 year olds hair.
And last but not least...
explain where babies come from to 6 year old...(actually she asked but i changed subject...not ready to go there yet.)

.....i'm going to bed!

O but on a positive note sadie and i had this conversation...
M - How was school today, anything fun happen? (expecting typical response...good or fine)
S - It was good, how was joshs appointment? (Did she really just ask a question back?)
M - (suprised that she would even remember his appointment...) O he has another darn ear infection!
S - O darn it! Another one! Isn't that like 3? (walks to josh) Poor Joshy!! Does your ears hurt?
:) Love her! and her! and him!

You are my Friend!!!

Then...

Now....

O my sweet, sweet Amberly! You are my friend... I love hearing your sweet voice everymorning and especially some of the cute things you say often like "Will you do me a favor?" & "Iwelcome" ;)and of course how everyone is "your friend"! I love how you call your sister Sade and your brother buddy! I love listening to your sweet prayers everynight and how you never leave one person out of them. I love how you sing Fireflies and Soul Sister, I love your dance routines right before bed and your facial expressions and sence of humor. You are so funny and dramatic and i just cannot get enough of your hugs and kisses! If i had to choose one word for you it would be LOVE! You are such a bright light in my life.

You are now 3 years old and i just can't believe how much you've grown up these last few months. I mean you actually stay in your bed at bedtime and in time-out if you get put there and we can go to target with out fighting over 5 of the same packages of dora underwear and i don't have to kick dora bed in the bags down isles when your not looking!! i am just so proud of you! I've got a feeling that 3 is going to be good!! I love you so much!

Happy Birthday baby!

Love Mom
