Wii've been playing our Wii

We're really enjoying our new toy that we got for Christmas... hence no posting! I am a pro at bowling and beat Brandon everytime! Hopefully I'll get around to a Christmas post soon, so in the meantime I wish everyone a wonderful New Year!!!!!!!!!

4 Month Appt and Aubree's getting a ....

cranial band! BOOOO HOOOOO I knew it was coming! She has really favored one side for lying and sleeping since day one despite drastic measures on my part to get her to go the other way!!!!!!!! Her case of plagio is EXACTLY like Grayson's which leads me to believe my uterus is shaped crazy or they lay in there some weird way!!!! We have her appt on Jan 12th to get fitted and I've decided I'll just get a big bow painted on it since I love to put her little glue in bows in her hair!
Here are her stats:
14 lbs. 4 oz (60 %)
25 1/2 inches (90 %)
She check out to be a VERY healthly little gal!
The doc was very optimistic that since she is still so young and her head is growing rapidly that she may only have to wear it for a few months! At least it will be in Jan. instead of July like Grayson's was!!!!!!!!!! Let's look on the bright side of things at least she will have a warm head all winter! ... And in a few short months her ears and head will be symmertical!!!!!!!!

Picture Day

My goal was to get a decent individual picture of each child and boycott the picture of them all together this go around since Portrait Innovations during the holidays is no place you want to spend too much time!... (if you've been during that time you KNOW what I mean) I think we accomplished that and got several great ones of all of the little ones. Maybe we'll tackle that group picture in a few months.... or maybe not! I'm already a little frazzled thinking about it! Enjoy!

Anderson's Professional Pictures

Where did my baby go???? Anderson is getting too grown up! He looks like such a little man in these pictures.

Grayson's Professional Pictures

Sweet little Grayson did extremely well today too! He wanted to be just like his big Brother and pose for the camera! I was amazed at what a big boy he was, and at how long his hair has gotten since his last pics were taken. He's going for that new shaggy look that's in right now... or the fact that he won't let anyone cut it! I think it's too cute to cut!

Aubree's Professional Pictures

Aubree was such a doll baby for the camera today! She did really well in all the chaos of Portrait Innovations!

Animal Sounds = Progress

Grayson is now making animal sounds and it's the cutest thing ever! We have his speech appt. next Tuesday for his evaluation and to determine what kind of services he needs. In the meantime he has really made a lot of progress by making animal sounds. Our favorite one that he does is a cat!!!!!!!! It's the sweetest sound ever! He can also make the dog, cow, frog, duck, pig and sheep sounds. He has been saying da da too lately! He IS making progress. Slowly but surely! I know when he gets in school he will get "Talks too much" on his progress report!!!!! Wouldn't that be funny!

135 Pounds!

Is the amount of weight that I have gained (and lost some of) in the last four years with three pregnancies!!!!!!!!!! That's averaging about 45 pounds per baby and the babies weren't twenty pounds a piece!!! Well, Brandon gave me an early Christmas present by getting us a membership to the Y!!!!! I'm glad to finally get the chance to do something for myself by working out. I was a little nervous about leaving the kids in the child watch, but after going by myself last night and checking it out I felt better about it. I took the little ones this morning while Anderson was in preschool and all three of us did well! I will be working hard to fit back into those pre pregnancy jeans!!!!

Three New Posts

Life has been hectic lately and haven't had tons of time to post so they have kinda built up. Check out my three new posts that have lots of pictures and little writing...again life = hectic right now!
