Cameron's At It Again!

Cameron is in the bathroom taking care of business and he yells out to me:

"Mom, bring me a book."

Wow, isn't 4 a little too young to start that habit?  I guess it's just bred into the male species.

By the time I got a book and got in there he was already done and told me I was too slow.  Kids, gotta love em!

Just What a Mom Needed

The last few days and nights have been a little rough with Brody.  First, it was his reflux and now it's his stomach mixed with a stuffy nose.  Last night he was up about every hour and a half which made for a very tired mom.  Well, this morning after Chris got out of bed I put Brody in bed with me-on the other side of the bed of course.  Anyway, I woke up this morning and he was starring right at me and as soon as I looked at him he gave me the biggest smile there ever was.  It melted my heart and was just what this very tired mom needed right at that moment.  No matter how bad the nights seem sometimes having a smile like that makes it ALL worth it.  I need to remember to relax and enjoy him because the next thing I know he will be off to preschool and then school just like my other two boys.

Brody's One Month

Time is FLYING by!  Little Brody is already a month old as of yesterday.  We are finally in a routine and I think I've learned what he needs and likes so things are good.  We did have a rough patch about a week ago where he cried and cried but thankfully it only lasted a few days.  On his one month birthday he had a great day and cooed and played a ton and even slept 5 hours straight last night.  Thank you, Brody!  I'm not sure what he weighs but as of last Thursday he weighed 9 lbs 7 oz-almost to the 10 lb mark which makes me very sad!  It's so hard to get good pictures of baby's at this age so here are just a few of the decent ones.

I have to give props to my sister-in-law Erica for making this adorable quilt!

I know the lighting on this is funky but I love the look on his face.

As always, Cameron in his face.

He makes this face all the time!

Just A Little Bragging!

What's the use of having a blog if you can't brag on your kids once in a while?  I received an email from Colby's English teacher yesterday and I thought it was worth sharing.  See in the past when we've received emails from his teachers it's been because he can't seem to control his talking.  So receiving this email was a pleasant surprise!  We are so proud of him!

Hi There!
I want to compliment Colby on his behavior in class!  He has really shown great growth so far this year in making great choices!  He is really shining in his example during our class!  I am so proud of him and wanted to let you know he is sure deserving of a pat on the back!

The fun part was letting him read the email himself.  When he got home from school I told him I had received an email from his teacher and he immediately asked if it was good or bad.  In kind of a disappointed voice I told him I'd let him read it.  As soon as he made it through the first paragraph his face lit up!  What a great thing to come home from school to!

Way to go Colby!
