Ian lost his front tooth.

Evie is 3 months old

On May 16th Evie joined the three month club.  Lots is happening in our world and little miss Evie is along for the ride and showing us lots of new things.

She is sleeping through the night and has been for about three weeks.  She normally goes to bed anywhere between 8:00pm-10:00pm but it's normally around 8:30pm.  And almost like clock work she is up between 5:50-6:10 each morning. Every once in a while she'll surprise us at 5:00 but not very often.  She's my little alarm clock!! :)

She has started to giggle.  It's so cute and we love when it happens.

She kind of babbles as well and she loves putting her lips together and blowing.  I think she's trying to imitate us.  Chris even got a picture the other day.

Evie is really starting to fill out. She's getting chubby cheeks!  Here's a picture in the car seat.

She started daycare and I'm back to work.  She's been doing good at daycare!  Kind of starting to get in a routine for Amanda!

 

Overall Evie is a pretty darn happy girl!!

All About My Mom by Ian

Ian wrote this at school for mother's day.  The underlined words are what he filled in.  I'm spelling just like he is because it makes it that much better.

My mom's name is mel.*
She has brown hair.*
She has brown eyes.
She is 39 years old.+
She weights 800 pounds.+
Her favorite color is yelloy.*
Her favorite animal is me.*
Her favorite T.V. show is facked or faked. (fact or faked)
She likes to play with me.*
She doesn't like to get angry.*
She is really good at paing bills. (paying bills)+
She isn't very good at stoping my little brother.*+
She likes when I am good and sleep when I'm supost to.*
She doesn't like when I am bad.*
I like when my mom gives me kisses.
I don't like when my mom yells at me, but I still love her.

I have to say a lot of this is true - I put little stars by the ones I'd have to agree with!  I got some pretty good laughs out of the ones with + signs in front.  I guess I need to let him know how old I really am otherwise people are going to think I'm a lot older (well maybe I can use that to my advantage - maybe they will think I look a lot younger!).  Also need to start teaching him how pounds work!  I guess all of the time I spend paying bill is paying off!  And yes I do often have a hard time getting Borne to stop doing things.

I think this little piece of paper will be so much fun to look at in 20 years.  I almost want to try and remember to have him do it every year to see how his answers change year to year.

At the bottom of the page it said this is what she looks like.  Here's the picture he drew.

Ian is 7!

Wow!  It's hard to believe 7 years ago Ian surprised the heck out of us arriving 9 weeks early.  He is growing up a wonderful kid and makes us smile often (and not smile every once in a while too!).  Ian had his 7 year check up this morning.  He was 4'3" tall (95th %) and he weighed 78 lbs (98th %). So a big boy we got!

Here's a picture of all three kids last week that Chris got on his phone.

Family

I'm looking through pictures tonight and found this family picture from Easter.  Makes me smile!

Well Checks

Evie had her 2 month well check and Borne had his 30 month.  Borne's check was much easier.  Just a questionnaire and a quick check and talk.  Evie had the questionnaire, check and talk also but she needed shots as well.  They are testing a new shot that includes two shots in one but in order to get it you have to have blood work done so they tried to get blood out of both of her arms but could not find the vein in either.  So she got majorly poked in both arms and then ended up getting three shots instead of two.  Poor girl was exhausted from screaming by the time we left.  She slept the entire afternoon but then woke up not very happy.  A little tylenol and a long walk in the moby and she was ready to eat.  She ate really good and then slept through the night.  Hopefully the next round of shots will go a little better!

Here are the kids' stats:

Borne
Height: 36 inches - 53%
Weight: 29.8 pounds - 48%

So he's right in the middle and doing good!


Evie
Height: 22 inches - 18%
Weight: 10.12 pounds - 26%
Head: 16 inches - 95-97%

The doctor said - she's just a little petite thing (not sure where she got that from!).  The doctor said she's small but in relation to each other she's perfect so nothing to worry about.  She's out cute little girl!! She's staying a baby a little longer for her mom!!

Dying Easter Eggs

We had fun coloring and dying Easter eggs outside!

Evie hung out in the moby and slept the entire time.

Borne & Ian had fun coloring the eggs before dying them.

 

Brothers!!

All of our pretty eggs!
