Happy Birthday Spiderman!

It is hard to believe but our little buddy is 3 Years Old. I still can't wrap my head around it. I was looking at pictures the other day of when he was born and it really doesn't seem like that long ago.  He has just gotten so big.  Okay well not really... he still only weighs 28 lbs and is 3 feet tall.  He has been such a good boy and so much fun.  He amazes us by the things he says and is learning and keeps us laughing daily.  A few days before his birthday he got on a Spiderman kick and wanted EVERYTHING Spiderman.  As a mom you feel that you really have to come through for your kids and make their birthday special and just what they want.  Thank heavens for Amazons cheap overnight shipping!  Carson woke up so happy on his birthday and was so excited that he was 3.  Before his birthday he told me he just wanted to be 2, but on his birthday he let us know he was finally 3!  We had a great, but very busy few days while we celebrated.

We celebrated at home that morning. Carson and I went Burger King to get some breakfast and then we had a quick little party before Chill had to go to work.  The present of the day was of course the Spiderman costume which he wore for 3 days in a row!  I of course did what I said I would not do...I let him wear it out in public and to the zoo of all places.  He was the happiest boy alive so I think it was worth it.  It was a perfect day for the zoo.  The weather was FINALLY so nice!

We had a little party at my parents house to keep the celebration going.  We ate Chinese food at Carson's request, he opened presents, and we had cake and ice cream. 

I think everyone is completely worn out...at least that's how it appears!

The following day we had a party with Chill's parents and some of our friends.  It was so fun to see everyone and spend time catching up.  Carson loved all the attention he got with his costume!

 After the our friends left, we had a mini party with Chill's parents so Carson could open his presents from them.  The present of the night was a Spiderman bike (which I didn't get a picture of).  He was so excited.  He is still learning how to ride it, but he loves it!

Happy St. Patrick's and a Birthday!

Well as many of you know, Chill's birthday is March 17th which I just love because it means I can make a big deal about it.  Chill really isn't one for big birthday celebrations so thank heavens it is on a holiday. I told him the other day that lucky for him his birthday will ALWAYS be fun and ALWAYS be a big deal!  He just looked at me and rolled his eyes.  Ha Ha I love it!!!  He was working nights so we had a big birthday breakfast for him when he got off work.  He then spent the rest of his birthday sleeping and then it was off to work again by 7:00 pm. 

Yes...Carson did stick his tongue in the food coloring even though I told him No! 

We also had a little visitor at our house as well that left his Green little footprints everywhere and turned everything GREEN. We had a lot of fun eating Green Waffles, Green Eggs and Ham, and drinking Green Milk.  Carson walked in the kitchen and said, "um mom, whose feet are these?"  Then when he realized what was going on he was so excited because the leprechaun turned the milk Green and left him some chocolate.  (Yes I did steal, copy, whatever you want to call this cute idea from Nat) 

More Celebrating

We of course had to celebrate Chill's birthday around his schedule so it continued into the weekend and the following week.  We were able to celebrate with Chill's family at PF Changs and then went and spent some time with Garrett to celebrate his birthday!

The following week we celebrated with my family at Teppanyaki.  Chill may be a little spoile, but he deserves it. I would say he had a wonderful birthday! Thanks to everyone for all the nice, wonderful gifts!

7 Months Old

Another month down.  Really???  I say it every month, but I honestly can't believe our Bailey Bug is 7 months.  You forget quickly how fun it is to watch them grow from month to month.  Bailey is very busy and moves constantly.  She does not like to spend much time on her tummy, which means not crawling yet which is great by me.  I know it is only a matter of time before that begins and then it is all over from there.  She has the cutest little smile and loves to wave at Daddy.  He just has to walk in the room and he gets a wave.  I on the other hand am lucky if I get a little wave every few days. 

We are in the process of working on sleeping through the night.  I would say it is going well.  I think we are just about there and boy does that make me happy.  I must say it seems easier with the second child.  I think because you get so used to kids crying that it really hasn't seemed that bad.

Bailey is finally catching on to the whole eating baby food thing...Thank Heavens!  She is really loving it and it sure makes my life easier now that she eats. 

She just has the cutest personality and we just love her so much.  Not sure what we would do without her.  I think we have some fun months ahead of us that is for sure! 

I just feel blessed to have two healthy, beautiful kids!
