6 months old

Gram turned SIX months old on Jan. 15th....this makes me so sad!! He went to doctor on the 17th to get his punishment :-) SHOTS!
He weighs in at 20lbs 4oz and is measured 28 3/4 " long...this time we did it accurately. He is of course a LONG baby so his percentile was 97%....
He is starting to sit up, but not yet by himself. He eats his solid food like a champ and he is really starting to develop a little personality. He laughs at his siblings for the most part and usually will just sit and watch them for awhile...until he sees me walk by then he remembers "oh my mommy" or shall I say "oh my FOOD"
Other than that, we are all doing well! Sick and Tired of this COLD weather....ready for Spring!! Here are a couple of pics I took this weekend to show how much Gram is changing!! OH and Ella got a black eye from her brother this past weekend under Daddy's supervision! Its gonna be rough between two brothers!!

CHRISTMAS 2010

Whew Christmas came and went so fast this year....Liam has been bringing home all the nasty school germs this year so this meant most of my shopping was done online...who am I kidding anyways thinking that shopping with 3 kids would even be a possibility?? Anyways we finally all got better right before the 22nd of December as we headed to Tennessee for a little vacation at this indoor waterpark.....had LOADS of fun!! Then returned home Christmas eve..woke to find that "SANTA" had been at our house and then trucked it to INDIANA for 2 days....then HOME! So it went by in a whirlwind!! Here are some pics!THIS VIDEO IS FUNNY! ITS 2MINUTES LONG AND MIGHT BE A SMIDGE BORING TO SOME OF YOU BUT AT THE END ITS CUTE :-)

4 months old!

Gram had his 4 month old check up on Monday the 15th...he weighs in at 17lbs and 10 oz and they measured him at 28 inches long...which I think is a bit much...I remeasured him at home and I think he's more like 26.5 inches long...none the less he's a big boy!!
Ella had her 3 year check up as well and had to get a booster vaccine that she was missing....lets just say the doctor's office was a hoot with two screaming kids getting shots!! I looked like a train wreck when I came out of there...which one do I hold?? And with Ella- holding is not the option its more like RESTRAIN. We made it though and her stats are this Height 39.25in and she weighs 32lbs....she is still tall for her age 89% and her weight she is 60%....

Fall Pictures

Here are some Fall pictures and Halloween...I'm a little late I know....
Everything is going just fine...Liam's grandpa Spurlock made his Robot costume which everyone on the block thought he was a genius....don't tell him that ;-) Ella dressed up as Cinderella....and Gram just wore a Pumpkin Hat....we took the kids to a place called Bi-water Farm...they always have a good time there!

Happy 3rd Birthday ELLA!

On October 5th Ella turned 3!!! WOW, time flies....she was sick...had this nasty sinus infection which caused her to have an ear infection...then by the end of the week, Gram and I caught it! So we were both at urgent care and Mr. Gram had his first ear infection at 3 months old....gotta love siblings that go to school!!!
She has now entered my least favorite age of 3! Those of you with two year olds....nothing compares to age 3....its by far the worse....She fights naps now.....we may get one every once in awhile....she has learned colorful words from Liam. So I'm now dealing with a 5 year old and a 3 year old sassy mouth.....
On a positive note...she is way more independent..she is a very FUN when we go shopping...can't say that with a BOY. She loves to dress up in her princess attire...I will get pics of this as the year progresses....she just got a bunch for her birthday! We have a doctor appt. in November so I will get her stats posted next month along with Gram....
Liam and Ella put a crawdad on Gram's head if your wondering about the picture....Liam did this to Ella when she was this age, but it was a snake! (see picture) Crazy kids.....

2 month check up for GRAM

Here are some pics of the growing baby!!
He is now 2 months old weighing in at 14lbs.1 oz NAKED!
And he is now measuring 25inches long.....he's a whopper!
I love the snapshot I got of him smiling at LIAM....they hold him pretty much EVERY morning!

Kindergarten, Soccer and Toothless!

Greetings! Yes I'm busy as you all figured I'd be...3 children 5 and under are "interesting"....
The latest: Liam started Kindergarten and I caved and let him ride the bus...just for the fact that it ended up being much more easier on me and also Liam begged to ride the bus! He started playing soccer....its funny watching them...they have no clue! But he has fun and that is what's important! His tooth started to wiggle a couple of days ago so we have been working on it..but low and behold the first soccer game he had a post game snack of a rice crispy treat and lets just say one bite and the tooth was gone, literally. So we wrote the tooth fairy a note apologizing for the loss and still asked for money even though she wouldn't be getting a tooth :-)
Ella is doing just fine....it was an adjustment for her having Liam go to school. She wanted to go and then when he started to ride the bus...Mercy! That was a long week of tears...she wanted to ride it too!
Gram is growing and that's about all I can say about him....he eats, sleeps and poops! He has learned to go along with us and fusses about it every once in awhile.
I took a picture of Liam on the couch today sleeping because he just looked so big to me....wait until he's 16! I'm sure his legs will hang off....something for me to compare with in the future.
Ella was playing with her new tinkerbell and Gram, sleeping peacefully!
Enjoy!

Canoe trip and 2 week check up!

Mr. Gram is now almost 3 weeks old.......sniffle, sniffle.....
He is weighing 9lbs 14oz....and they measured him at 22.5inches??? which he was born at 20inches so I am wondering if this might be stretched a bit....but anyways...Doc was pleased with his weight gain since he was 8.8oz at birth...I told him that I eat McDonald's a lot so that might play a factor...:-)
Thus far he sleeps, eats and poops....he is starting to stay awake more....due to Liam and Ella CONSTANTLY pawing at him....but he's pretty laid back so he seems to be immune to them.
Liam went on a canoe trip with daddy last Saturday.....he loved it of course......I went to Target with Ella and Gram....and I loved it of course!!
