blog posting fool

i've out done myself today and made 3, yes, 3 posts. keep scrollin' down!!

what do we do when.....

mom is cutting caleb's hair?

troy "waters" the grass or as he says "soy pee a grass".


drew swings.

and caleb pouts. (sorry no picture of him)

"brotherly" love

one day after church, i was taking pictures of drew and troy wanted his picture with him. and here's what i got.

naturally, caleb didn't want to be left out and wanted to get a picture with drew as well.

since they were all there, i wanted to get a picture of all 3 boys together. troy was not happy. not because i was making him take another picture but because caleb was in the picture too. he didn't want caleb in the picture and wouldn't let us put drew in the middle. he wanted drew all to himself....can you tell by the face?

oh, christmas pictures are going to be interesting....

3 months old

you guessed it...drew is now 3 months old. he is really interacting with us now and it is a lot of fun. he talks more and more every day and even giggles occassionally. he reaches for things close to him. his favorite thing to grab... his toes. we have moved him to the crib, so no more bassinet. it is kind of sad that he has outgrown the bassinet but nice not to hear every little squeak. he is our little "finger sucker" and prefers his pointer and middle finger over the "dah" (troy's name for a pacifier). i'm not sure how to deal with that one yet because the other 2 boys LOVED the pacifier. oh well!

2 months old...

drew is 2 months old today. he is growing up too fast.
specifics @ 2 months: weight: 11 lbs. 5 oz.
height: 23 inches
smiles
"talks"
loves to be held

we also found out today that drew has scoliosis (curvature of the spine). he will have to go to a specialist to find out how severe the scoliosis is and what will have to be done for it. from what i have read on the internet, treatment ranges from physical or occupational therapy to surgery. of course surgery is for REALLY bad cases. his pediatrician seemed a little surprised and said that scoliosis in babies as young as drew is rare. it is usually detected much later. hopefully we caught it early enough that it will be a quick and easy fix.

please keep him in your prayers and hopefully all will be well soon.

so sad :(

when i came home from work today, i noticed that troy looked funny. upon closer inspection, this is what i found.....

he had an allergic reaction to a mosquito bite! not only was his ear swollen but he had another bite on his leg that had swelled to the size of a quarter. it was really sad when it started itching. he looked like a dog scratching and his little ear just flopped. his ears are really soft any way and the swelling didn't seem to affect the floppiness. poor troy boy :(

one month old...

drew is one month old today...again time is going by too fast. it is amazing how fast they change!

three weeks old

drew will be 3 weeks old tomorrow. it's crazy how fast time has gone by. how cute is this boy!?!

first day of 2nd grade

caleb started 2nd grade on monday. he was so excited!! he is in mrs. villa's class and already knows most of the kids in his class. mom was sooo ready for this day to happen...mostly to give him something to do besides annoy troy. here's hoping for a good year!!
