Busy weekend!!

Big sister helping put together exersaucer
Can't you see the excitment in Blake's face
They are working so hard!!
I love it!!!!
Thanks Madison!!
We put together Blake's exersaucer this weekend!!! It is a couple of weeks early, but he has such trouble laying down that we went ahead with it, and just stuffed a blanket behind him!! This way he can sit up and look around without spitting up everywhere!!! He will tolerate it for about 10 minutes for right now, hopefully he will grow to love it like Madison did, and I can at least cook dinner!!! I cannot believe how fast he is growing up!!!

I found my hand

yummy this hand taste so good!!
Can I fit the whole thing in my mouth?
Maybe I'll just lick it....
All clean and still sucking on my hand....
Mr Blake is one funny little boy!! It is so true when people say that no baby is the same. Madison loved her pacifier, it was the one thing that I could give her and it would make her stop crying, well not this boy!!! If I try to stick a pacifier in his mouth it just makes him MAD!!! Not only does he not stop crying, but it just get louder!!!! The only thing he likes is his hand, and he only does that when he is content and not upset, so needless to say that when the boy is mad and needs to calm down we all just have to suffer and listen to the screams, or I feed him that is the only thing that can make him calm down!!! Madison now walks around the house with her hands over her ears :) On a side note please everyone pray that I make it through the night and get some sleep, this is the first night that I am putting Blake in his own room, and I know he will be just fine but I am a nervous nelly!!! So I am sure that I will be up all night watching the monitor....

Playdate

Noah and Blake's first playdate!!
Madison, Blake, Lauren, and Noah
The girl's
Making Monkey Munch!!!
SHAKE, SHAKE, SHAKE!!!!
This was one of our playdates with Jenn, Lauren, and Noah!!! Madison and Lauren have been getting together for playdates since they were about 3 months old, (okay I will admit they were more for me and Jenn to have some adult conversation), but now they are the best of friends!!! Madison is only 3 months older than Lauren, and Blake is only one week older than Noah and hopefully they will be the best of friends as well!!! The boys spent the day sitting in the swing and laying under the playmat, while the girls played dress up, watch a movie, and made monkey munch!! Yummy!!! This was such a fun day, and I look forward to many more!!

WOW THEY GROW UP SO FAST!!!!

I cannot believe that Blake is 3months old and he is already rolling over and holding his head up so well, and my other baby is starting preschool in a couple of weeks!!!! It is so exciting to watch how every month there are huge changes in my children! I was out (trying) to shop today and Blake was crying and Madison needing to go pee again for the 100th time, and I said that's it lets just go home... A man must have been whatching us and could see the frustration all over my face. He smiled and looked at me and said just enjoy this because mine are 16 and 17 years old now, and they will be there before you know it! I got in the car turned on the air conditioner and had time to think about how true everything he just said was!! I am going to cherish every moment even tbe stressful ones!! :) I am thankful that God sent me that message today through a perfect stranger to remind me to enjoy every moment!!!!
