Even More Random Than Before

Does anyone else dress their kiddos in matching outfits?  Well, I dress them in coordinating outfits.  Haha.  My husband thinks I am weird, but I still do it.  If Ady's dress has orange in it, Jacker's outfit includes orange.  Do you think I am kidding, just check out my header.  :)  Well, I think most parents try to dress their kids alike, so I am probably far from alone on this one.

I think it is absolutely adorable when my son does "adult" things.  Like the other day he ate a cheeseburger like a grown up.  In between his fingers, taking little bites.  I should have taken a video.  Before, when he had eaten cheeseburgers.....well he basically tried to shove the whole thing in his mouth.  So, we always cut it up into small pieces.  But, he is a big boy now and doesn't need his cheeseburgers cut up.  I can't believe it.


My darling daughter is not a very happy camper today.  Almost every time I put her down, she cries.  Which is not good for getting anything done, let me tell ya.  She hasn't been sleeping well, or eating very well....but, doesn't act sick.  So, I have no idea what is going on with her but, I hope it ends soon.  I am gonna go with "she's teething".  However, who knows.  Jackers didn't get his first tooth until he was 9 months old.  I am at a loss.

Drama is happening with my in-laws.  Thankfully not involving me, lol.  But, I can tell my husband is a little stressed out.  Mostly (I suspect) because his Mom is stressed.  Why can't people just act like adults, and deal with their problems?  If you choose to do something, you have to deal with the consequences and all that goes with it.

Do you ever find yourself singing silly songs to your kids to get them to do something?  I was singing "Blame It On The Alcohol" (or whatever that song is called) to Jack to get him to open his mouth during dinner.  How inappropriate.  Haha.  Tell me I am not alone on this one?  Someone else has sang "Poops in your pants, poops in your pants, every little baby likes to poop in their pants".  (sung to the tune of "Pants on the Ground")  HAHA!  I can't believe I just admitted this.  Oh well.  It is alright to embarrass yourself, right?

Seriously now, do you like these posts?  I know I should probably split them up a little better, into 3 or 4 blog posts.  But, when I think I am going to do that I never actually end up writing them.  So, this works for me.  But, I'd still like to know your opinion.  Thanks doll(s)!

New Baby!

Sorry it has been an ETERNITY since I last posted. Things are crazy around here, and have no signs of slowing down until after the holidays.

On Monday, Nov. 16th (one day after my little Jack turned 1!) our beautiful baby girl, Madelyn Grace, was born. She is perfect, and we couldn't ask for a better little family. She was 7lbs 8 oz and 20 inches long. Her big brother isn't quite sure what to think of her, but I am sure they will be best buds in a little while ;o)

Here are pictures from the day after Madelyn was born. Just go to Bella Baby Photography, click View Photos, and enter the password: 1116madelynovery

We celebrated Jack's birthday on Sunday (the 15th) with a lunch at Happy Joe's and a small get together in the evening with cupcakes and ice cream. His "big" birthday party is on Dec. 5th, and I have a lot to do to get ready for it. I can not believe that he is one! My baby boy isn't much of a baby anymore :(

Jacker's started walking last Thursday, and got his forth tooth last Wednesday. He wanted to keep a little bit of the spot light on him. ;o) Haha, our children are such a joy and we couldn't imagine our lives without them.

The other night Zach asked Madelyn, "So, what finger do you have me wrapped around?" It was the cutest thing in the world! He is the best daddy ever! He is such a big help, and I couldn't do it without him.

Sorry for the lack of updates, if you want to know everything that is going on with me....feel free to add me on facebook. Here is the link. Oh, and don't worry, I have more pictures to post soon!

Hope all is well with you, and I hope to be posting again regularly soon.

Teeth!

You can see his little teeth (if you click the picture, you can see them better)! He has two now, he got the first one on Sept. 2nd and the second on Sept. 11th.

My little one had a busy week...believe me growing teeth is hard work (not only for baby, haha)!
