PICTURES!!!

Jett plays in this a lot while I am cooking, he loves it! I looked over the other day and Addie was pushing him like it was a swing! Good thing he liked it, he was laughing his head off!She's learning how to share with him!
Sometimes eating is just too funny!

So relaxed...My big girl
Handsome!

One afternoon, I could not get him to take a nap. I laid him outside on a blanket, under this shade and he was out!
We spend a lot of time in the water!
My first swimsuit!
Can I eat this?!?
Ok, I'm ready!

First time in the pool, LOVED IT!
She's so big with her floaties! And, NO FEAR! Jumps in the water from anywhere!

5 months old!


I can't believe that my tiny newborn is a 5 month old little monster already! Time flies! He is SO precious, still hoping he stays a mama's boy! :) He is rolling ALL over the place, definitely wants to be on the move. He has figured out how to put his head down, his little bottom up in the air and just scoot across the ground, quite a sight! He is a little talker too, loves the sound of his little voice (mommy and daddy do too!) This week, he has figured out how to yell, and he thinks that is SO funny! He has been doing really well with his cereal, and he started eating squash this week. I forgot how messy baby food was! The kid doesn't care what it is, as long as he can eat it! He is doing really well at napping in his own bed now, and he has worked out a good little schedule, and he is sleeping 8-10 hours a night, which make mommy and daddy happy people! I am crazy about this kid!

So, we got back from our walk yesterday morning and headed to my room to get ready for the day. Jett was asleep in his bed and Addie usually comes in my room and hangs out with me while I get dressed. I was brushing my teeth when I noticed that it had gotten really quiet. (This is very unusual, she is usually singing something, lately her favorite song is "Single Ladies" by Beyonce, I know, we're great parents!:) Anyways, I walk around the corner of the bathroom to find her very meticulously painting her toenails with white out! It was precious! I wish that I would have thought to take a picture, but I was too busy laughing!!!

Another thing, I guess it is frustrating to older siblings to have this other child in their home that can't play anything with them yet. Addie really wants Jett to play catch with her, but being four months old, he doesn't quite get the "catch" part yet. Poor baby's been hit in the head with way to many balls the last few days. I hear crying, when I ask what happened, she says, "We was just playing catch!"

Oh the adventures of motherhood...wouldn't trade it for the world!

The Zoo!

I have probably said a thousand times how much I love my church, but I do!!! This week, our playgroup went to the zoo! We had 11 mommies and 25 kids, and it was so much fun! We could not have asked for better weather, and the kids were SOOOO good! It was a blast!

Jett was excited about his first trip to the zoo!

Addie had the map and was planning out our day

They really liked the penguins!

Random Tip...

My mom called me last week and told me that she didn't want me to be 50 years old and just finding this out. Of course, I was thinking it was something tragic or a secret she had been keeping from me, but thank goodness it wasn't! Its just a little tip to make your life a little easier, so I had to share! Ok, go look at your box of aluminum foil. On each end, there is a tab that says something like, "Push to lock in roll." If you push those tabs in, it holds your roll of foil in the box! No more crinkly foil from having to roll it back on after it came out of the box! How great is that?!? Thanks mom! I know, random, but if you find out something good, you have to share it with everybody! :)

I don't have much to say today, so I thought I would just post some pictures! Here you go...Look how much he loves his big sister!

Oh these kiddos, so sweet! They are growing like weeds! Jett had his first fever this week, and since he was just barely over three months, they had me bring him in. Thankfully everything was ok. But, of course it happened the same week as all of this "swine flu" mess, so it got me freaking out. I had my experience at the hospital with this baby, I do not want to go back! :) He is rolling over all of the time from his stomach to his back, and he ALMOST has the other way figured out! I started giving him a little bit of cereal some evenings, he thinks that is pretty funny! And the last two nights he has gone to bed at 8:45 and slept for 10 hours! WAY TO GO BOY!!! Only thing is that I cannot get him to take a bottle! I am in a wedding soon and will be away from him for awhile, we have got to get this figured out! Any suggestions? Addie is just talking more and more, I am shocked by some of the things she comes up with! My favorite word this week was her telling me about the "Hopgrasser" in the backyard! I love it!
