He’s growing up.

Baby Joey, Pictures, Solids
My Baby is growing up! Joey hit a new milestone. He's eating solids! Well, just banana baby food, and occasionally rice cereal, but something other than my milk is something fun and new! I'll let the pictures tell what he thought... Kevin found a fun little high chair. I was going to go with a booster seat type high chair becuase I could strap it to a chair and then be done with it when it's time, but Kevin found a folding one for like $35, so yeah! He gets his own special seat, and I can fold it up and tuck it in the closet when he's not eating. Michael and I have started some new banter. We keep going back and fourth about who loves Joey more. It's…

My Birthday in Review

Family Fun, Me, Pictures
I had a pretty good day. We got up and took Kevin to work. On the way home we went to the grocery store and picked up some strawberries, cream and chocolate for ganache for the cake we were going to make, and some cheese bread and crab salad for lunch, and a few other odds and ends. We came home and enjoyed playing together, I got to watch some girly shows, and I got to get a shower, that never happens when Kevin isn't home, I had to wait till Joseph took a nap and then get the other boys doubly distracted between the computer and kiddy TV shows. Every time Aiden got whinny I pulled the "birthday card," and thankfully all major tantrums were avoided. Yay! My Mom…

Blank

Aiden, Family Fun, Me, Memories, Pictures
Aiden's Lovey has a name. "Blank." Short for Blanket. Before Joey was born while doing laundry I accidentally tossed Blank behind the washer in a effort to quickly throw it on top of the washer discreetly. I was huge and pregnant and so instead of fishing it out I just waited to see what might happen. There was no mention of the lost blanket, which I found odd considering at the time he seemed to be forming an extremely strong attachment to it. A couple weeks ago while watching and loving Joey's forming attachment to all of his receiving blankets which I keep with him at all times as a large makeshift burp cloth, I decided to find a old wire hanger and go fishing. Now Blank had hardly been…

Our Little Friends

Aiden, Family Fun, Pictures
Aiden and I found something on our way in this morning, when it rains they come out, and it rained lastnight, we counted at least 7 of these cute little snails, or if you ask Aiden they're "nails," he is having a hard time putting the "S" at the beginning.

Enrichment and cookie recipe

Baby Joey, Church, Pictures
We had a wonderful night, I'm really glad I made it. My arms were full of baby, so I didn't get any photo's, so I'll have to find me a substitute mama so that I can use my hands and get these photo's. I made some cookies, I think they were a hit, I took at least 3 dozen and came home with an empty plate. I'm starting to really enjoy baking, now if I could only swing that over to cooking, LOL! Anyone know any yummy cooking shows I can DVR for my quiet time? Kid appropriate, yet kid boring, LOL! That's the only way to get Aiden to take a nap, to watch something that I enjoy but is boring for him. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chocolate Drizzle Cookies ~2 German…

The BIG birthday!

Aiden, Baby Joey, Family Fun, Kevin and I, Michael, Pictures
My little boy is now 6, and my hubby is now 29!!! Yesterday was a VERY busy day. In the morning I couldn't sleep anymore once 6:30 rolled around, I was so excited for my boys. They didn't share my enthusiasm so much, at least not that early. We dropped off the big boys, and the little boys and I went birthday shopping. We got Michael one of those giant balls that he's had his eye on for some time, a track, like a pine wood derby track but for matchbox/hotwheels, and some clothes. We got home to chill for a little while and then went to pick up the cake and take it to Michael's class. That was a blast! It was so fun to be in his class…
