New babies

So happy! He LOVES LOVES LOVES the exersaucer. I know it's not good for his spinal alignment, but seriously- he loves it.

I got some new babies. I didn't post, but after I got my gouramis they both died in a span of 2 weeks :( I have no idea why. They never got over being scared so maybe it was stress. Then when we were in STL we came home and my pleco was dead (algae eater). It was obvious that the other fish had eaten him because I only found remnants and the ammonia was up in the tank (a waste product). Bummer. I have no idea why. Random that he would just die after being fine for so long. So my algae has been out of control in the tank and I knew I needed to do something about it.

So yesterday I got another pleco- this one bigger so hopefully he'll do better.
I also got a pair of white Mollies. I love them!! They are about twice as big as the other fish and so pretty!!! They seem really happy so far!

My Boys.

I love Mira. I mean LOVE her....but she is VERY high maintenance. She is out of town with Lana this weekend and it's just me and the boys today. We are having a great relaxing day here at home. No one is screaming, throwing things, sneaking things they don't want me to see, playing outrageously loud music, begging me to get tons of junk out, begging for food, etc. We are just hanging out. The dynamic is totally different.

4 months and other things

Griff plays so good by himself. He still loves his trains.

Sorta cute.....
My guy is getting so big. So so big. He has become quite the good and happy baby! Today we had pictures taken and he was such a ham. So sweet.



Mira made this wonderful playdoh creation. She wanted to leave it out all day but we didn't want to ruin our playdoh...
She still loves her blankies.
The exersaucer is Sully's fav toy. He talks to all the toys on it. It sits right beside the fish tank- look at him watching them!

Me and my guy.

Mobile Uploads

So....I finally figured out how to sync my phone pictures to the computer. So we'll have a walk down memory lane today! haha. They're in backward order :) Most recent to oldest.

The kids have started preschool (or PRE K in Mira's case- apparently it is an important difference). The both LOVE it. I am extremely happy with our choice. The only thing that sucks is the 9-12 for Mira on wed and I think the neighbor and I are going to start doing every other week which should help.

Sully LOVES being outside. Here he is in his walker.

At the circus. Cuddly boy.
I had to buy Griffin some fall clothes this week due to our quickly cooling weather. I found he finally fits in MOST 2 T pants. HA! Mira put on some 5 pants today and they're about an inch and a half too short. GAH!

This was on the way home from STL. So sweet.
At the zoo!


Sleeping in his PnP at the hotel. Big boy!
In the sling at the Magic House.

I am working 2 days a week- one of which is usually a weekend day. It's working out great. Sully is doing great with Pepper and eating like a champ from his bottle! YAY! I have finished my ECMO training and am now qualified as an ECMO provider! A raise is on the way! (WOOT!) ECMO is basically long term heart/lung bypass incase you were wondering.

In the ERGO at the arch. He loves the Ergo and so do I!
Happy guy!

Sully is growing! 13 lbs 6 oz on Tuesday. He is 25% for weight but his HEAD is 90%! hahah I don't think his head looks that big, but apparently he has a lot of brains! No, he is not much bigger than G was at his age, so we'll see how that goes. Dr M says, "Is this one going to grow?" I say, "I don't know but if not I'm not worrying about it!" He has turned into quite a good baby. He is napping 2-3 times a day and one of them is usually 2+ hours. It's awesome. Still up at least once a night usually, but we're surviving. He nurses great.

So perfect.

Mira at dance class this summer. She didn't really like it all that much so we're in gymnastics now.
Bumbo!
At my friend Andrea's in her pool! so fun!
Griffy playing while we waited for Mira's dance class.
Big tower!


Worlds of Fun!







Sully's first picture. So sweet and tiny.



Sully is in cloth diapers 100% now. I can't remember the last time I had him in Pampers. Every single time I was putting one on him he blew it out. Screw Pampers. We even took cloth to St. Louis and it worked fantastically. Obviously I couldn't take them on a longer trip because I would need to wash. I took Grovia because they are super easy to travel with and take up the least amount of room, but I had to take fitteds for night so we didn't wet through everything. Awesome. I have even bought Pepper her own stash. She has fallen in love with all in one's that I'm actually having success washing. She now has enough for 2-3 full days of diapers. This is the first child I have asked her to cloth diaper and she really likes it!! YAY!

That's it for today. I need to shower up so I can go work this afternoon. Have a good day!
