6 months later...

Our boys are getting so big! Colton is doing great. He is a tiny bit smaller then Garrett was at his age. He is healthy and happy! We are so glad that he is home. We all enjoy dancing and singing together. Colton is already a rockin' dancer! You can tell he wants to be just like Garrett already. He is constantly watching him and wanting hugs from him. They laugh together and cuddle all the time. Garrett is a great older brother. He loves Colton and takes very good care of him. We have had a couple times where Colton will accidentally poke Garrett in the eye and Garrett will try and poke his eye back and say to him, "Colton don't poke my eye!" Colton is starting to roll over and is figuring out what his hands are for. For example: I was eating a sandwich and he snatched it out of my hand and hurried to put it in his mouth. He is hilarious. Garrett is getting really good at singing his alphabet and telling me what letters are which. He can count to 13 when he is in the mood to show off. He says the funniest things. The other day he got something in his eyes and said, "OW! My eyeballs!" He also will come in a room and say, "Mom, what the heck are you doing?" He makes us laugh all the time! He is a little mini me. Lucky Mark! We are so glad to have two very happy boys! We are so lucky to have them and we couldn't be more grateful! Oh and Colton's eyes change color with what he wears, but are usually a beautiful blue! Lucky boy! Weird, cause we all have brown eyes.

The last month or so...

So we found out we are having another boy and we are very excited! Garrett is saying more things that we can understand. It is crazy thinking that just 2 years ago our little boy was half the size he is now. It makes me kind of sad, but happy at the same time. It is fun watching him grow and develop! He can count to 3 and we are working on counting to five. He will skip 4 and go straight to 5 but thats ok. Potty training has gone down hill big time. He hardly ever wants to go on the big boy potty. I need to get him motivated again...I just have to figure out the right way too go about doing that. I am growing a lot faster this pregnancy. It is weird having a big belly again, but it is fun feeling that little boy in their kick. He is not moving as much as Garrett, so Mark thinks he will be more mellow then Garrett. We will see once we get them together. The due date is still Feb 3rd, but I am measuring big so I am betting he comes at the end of January. Well other then, that we are doing well. I can't believe Garrett will be 2 so soon! My baby is not a baby anymore!

Our handsome little man!

The past 3 months...well now 4

So I have been very sick this pregnancy, which has been horrible. I am finally over the nausea and into the headaches. Which personally I would rather have the headaches, even though neither is pleasant. I am so grateful for my wonderful husband taking care of everthing for the past few months. He has made sure the house is clean and made sure Garrett was entertained so I could sleep as often as possible. My poor little family has been living on cereal and sometimes eggs. Mark came up to me the other day and said, "We are down to 2 boxes of cereal in storage...thats weird." Well for those who know my obsession with cereal I usually have at least 7 boxes in storage along with the cereals we are currently eating that are upstairs. It made me realize how much cereal I have been eating...way too much! But at least I could eat something. I am finally able to eat more things, but I can rarely eat leftovers. Which is unusal for me. I am glad to be further in to the pregnancy and the next exciting thing is to find out what we are having. I have like 2-3 weeks left to find out, depending on how soon the doctor will let me find out. Other then the pregnancy Mark has been doing well at his job and doing a great job trying to keep up with our moody swamp cooler. We need a new one, but they cost a lot more then I want to pay right now. Thank goodness it is cooler at night now! Garrett has taken an interest in the toilet...but not with wanting to swim in it anymore. He will tell me "Hurry! Potty! Hurry!" It is so cute so we put him on his little seat and he goes potty. He has gone #1 and #2 so we are so proud of him and excited that he is finally interested. I would love to have him fully potty trained by the time baby #2 comes. We will let you know when we find out what we are having! Bye!

Wow it has been forever!

Sorry it has been so long since an update on our small little family. We are doing well. Garrett is talking a ton and it is fun to have little conversations with him! We also are having another baby! The due date is Feb 4, 2011. We are very excited! Other then that nothing is really new with us! I will post pics soon!

Our little garden....

We planted a garden for the first time this year. It is going really well. We are exploding with cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce, zucchini and squash! Oh, and jalapenos. If anyone would like anything please let us know! We don't have a ton of lettuce but there is plenty of other food. And the tomatoes are mostly cherry tomatoes. Here are a few pics. We are hoping more then one pumpkin comes up and that the watermelon make it. We have a few little cute ones coming. Oh and carrots! I forget that we have those since we can't really pick them yet. Garrett loves the garden. He loves to weed it with us. He also loves to eat it as you can see. Mark and I were picking some tomatoes and all of a sudden we look over and he has a whole cherry tomato in his mouth still attached to the vine. It was hilarious! We love having him! He is such a silly boy!
