after bringing Liam home were not at all what I expected. Liam is doing great - he is not the problem! He is a good eater (sometimes too much, every 2hrs in the middle of the night is exhausting), he sleeps a lot and well you know is good at needing his bum changed! He does all of the wonderful little things that newborns do. I feel guilty having to bring him home to such a crowded, crazy and noisy environment. I wish I could spend just one on one time with him for a couple of weeks without all of the daily distractions. They only stay little for such a short period of time I just want to enjoy every minute of it. Now for the problems - there has be no rest for the weary in this house. Thursday night Jared had to go to his real estate class from 6pm-10pm, this left me to finish up with dinner, put the boys to bed, and bath Liam. (This might sound easy, but never actually having to take care of 4 kids by myself with absolutely no routine yet was a challenge). On Friday morning we...
BOY!!!! Yes we will be adding another boy to our family. We were a little surprised that again it is another boy, but we are still excited. I have to say I did shed a tear or two over it not being a girl (this is most likely our last baby) but I am grateful that we have been able to have children and 4 for that matter.

For those who have girls - since I will now forever be surrounded by boys - please remember I will gladly borrow your daughters from time to time. :-) Also I have finally had to give up wearing my real clothes and have moved on to maternity clothes - at least they have gotten cuter over the years!!
Lately Eli has been very curious about using the toilet. He watches when the big boys go to the potty during the day and when they are done he will come to me, trying to get his pants/diaper off and point at the bathroom door. Whenever the boys get in to the tub they go potty first. He too has been wanting to use the potty. He will often point and grunt at the toilet. So we sit him on the toilet for a few minutes, he smiles then wants to get off. While in the tub he points, grabs, and is totally intrigued by his boy parts and the other boys parts. Well this morning I guess he didn't want to wait until bath time again. Here is a picture of how I found Eli in his crib this morning. I opened the door and had found him with his PJ's unzipped, one arm out, one leg out and his diaper undone. He had found his boy parts again. My first thought was 'please, please let it only be a wet diaper,' thankfully it was. I had to take 2 pictures, the first was a little more expo...
