1 mo

It has been a while since I posted last. Having 4 kids can leave one with little time. I have just been trying to keep up with laundry, cooking, cleaning and feeding the kids. We have been so busy lately that poor Liam didn't have any pictures taken for at least 3 weeks. So I got the camera out last night and took a few (pics posted at the bottom). He is getting bigger. At his 2 1/2 wk checkup he was already at 9lbs 9.5oz (almost a 2 lb weight gain). He has been my most eventful baby thus far. He had to have his umbilical cord dried up with silver nitrate, he had cradle cap, he has reflux and now he has baby acne. None of the other kids had this (except the reflux). Despite all of this we are loving our beautiful baby boy. He has started sleeping longer stretches at night 4-5hrs. I hope to get him on a schedule soon as I am going back to work on Wed. The reflux is usually what causes all of the problems in the middle of the night - which means he usually ends up in bed with me and I don't sleep well and I don't like having him in my bed - it makes me nervous. Yesterday we took Liam to church for the first time. He did really well - slept for most of it - except when I went to feed him. I was burping him and he let out a nice big burp - followed by - you guessed it - his entire feeding - it landed straight down the inside of my dress - Yuck! I just sat there thinking to myself 'I can't believe that just happened- Ugh!' I knew that keeping a change of clothes for Liam in the diaper bag was a must - but I guess keeping a change of clothes for myself isn't a bad idea either.
The big kids are doing well. We took them to the dentist last thursday (which also happened to be Jared's 30th birthday - yes 30 - I know he is getting old!:-)) This was Eli's first time going. He did pretty good - pictures are posted below.
Not much else is going on here. We are enjoying the nice spring weather and enjoy having the kids outside to play since our house is so small. We did have another showing of our house yesterday - we hope that it will sell soon.
Now for the pictures:

Oh my gosh! he looks like a different baby! So cute. And Eli looks so grown up too!

Sigh. I wished I saw them more.

barf down your dress does not sound fun.

barf anywhere isn't exactly fun though... but down the dress has got to be one of the worst places for it to go...

Dollywood

Liam's first time on River Rampage - he got drenched but loved every minute of it! Doesn't he look so small! We wanted to do one last fun summer trip for the boys before school starts this Thursday. We took a day trip to Dollywood. We got there a little after the park opened and it was not very crowded at all. We walked on almost every ride and if we had to wait it wasn't longer than a few minutes. Last time we were there in May Adley was just shy of being able to ride all the big rides. We learned about a place where they will measure you and give you an armband that has the appropriate color that corresponds with your height category. This way you are measured once and simply just have to show your armband to get on the ride. Adley was thrilled that he was tall enough this time to ride any ride in the park. Eli and Liam also got moved up to the next category. Thank goodness for Eli because this kid has been dying to ride more rides. He and Adley are not afr...

Mickey Mouse

Mickey is a very loved mouse in our house. Liam absolutely can't get enough of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse on Disney. When he wakes up in the morning he comes straight to my room, snuggles in between Jared and I and turns on the tv for his cartoon. He sits there with his arms behind his head and legs outstretched. He is so darn cute. So the other day I decided to buy him a stuffed Mickey. He was so surprised and loved it. Checking him out. Mickey now has his own corner in Liam's crib. He likes his 'pets' in specific places. Also, guess who is potty training???? The only kiddo I have left in diapers - woot woot!!! He has started this all on his own and so I'm optimistically hoping for December to be down to pull ups at night. Liam won't speak to tell us he has to go he just pats himself and points to the bathroom - whatever works right! And here is our very first tomato from our tiny 1 plant garden....... We have a few more and hope they will ...

It's been a while . . .

since I last posted. We have been so busy this month. Adley had his Christmas program at his preschool - they studied Italy and dressed so cute. They sang the song, "when the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's amore . . ." (not sure of the exact title). Adley has sung it several times since to many people. I think he might be musical when he gets older. We all recovered from our sickness and made the journey to Arizona to see my family. We spent 12 days there and had a wonderful time. Surprisingly it was warmer here at home while we were gone then it was in Arizona. We got to go to the Lego store, which the boys loved. We played at a really fun park, visited with friends, made a gingerbread house and sugar cookies, ate at our favorite places, went to the movies, enjoyed a visit from Santa at the house and tried to get in some rest. We had family pictures taken for the first time in 5 years since my brothers were gone on their missions. We finally g...
