If someone else tell me.....

that I must be busy I am seriously going to S.N.A.P. Ya thanks! I look like I haven't showered in days, my clothes fit horribly to big to small to short to long. I am running non stop but still can't seem to lose the 80 lbs that Christopher put on me! Ya so lady at Family Space please don't remind me about being busy! What gave it away the giant bags under my eyes because my son doesn't sleep! EVER! Oh wait he naps. For about 15 minutes at a time. Oh I should let him cry? No thanks, Grandma, Dad or AUnt or some random person that feels entitled to offer their opinion. NONE OF YOU HAVE OFFERED TO HELP ME! SO leave me/us alone.

Rant over!

5 Months and getting B.I.G.

Wee little man in now a whopping 18lbs 6 oz. He is such a big boy. He is growing out of his clothes at lightning speed. I am currently wearing 12 month stuff and just over 5 months old.
This month we bought one of those jolly jumpers with the frame. HE LOVES IT! He will bounce for over an hour. Gives Mommy time to breath- Or chase Sophia. Also this month he has become so much more alert to his surroundings. Wants to sit up on his own (still a wee bit wobbly) He also reaches and grabs at his toys. Loves anything with lights and sounds. We can play for hours on the floor. I just can't get enough of him.

Sophia is moving in the terrible two direction. Every day is something new! Today she wanted an "ORANGE FREEZES" for breakfast, I said no not now! She instantly through her whole body on the ground and throw the biggest fit I have ever seen. She also loves car rides. I wish Chrishoper did. He is getting better but still sometimes it can be a unpleasant experience. Think of nails on a chalk board. :)

Sophia also has quite the vocabulary - Freely singing songs from start to finish and reading books to herself.
Heres a pic of all three of us cuddles up on the couch. <3

What a summer we have been having. Last Wednesday we broke some wicked records for heat. At one point during the day ot was over 40 degree. BLEH!!!!!!! Me and the kiddos stayed inside. Even the dogs wouldn't move to far from the a/c. JAson spent most of the morning and afternoon at the Library in Trenton so we just hung out playing with puzzles and reading. This years Waterfront festival I entered Parker into the 1000 islands Dock Dock diving contest! It was so much fun and he loved it. So proud of my boy.

These past few weeks have been a lot of fun with Christopher, or as Sophia will call him "Kwiss" so adorable. He is trying to sit up and loves to reach for his brightly coloured toys. He is weighing in around 16.5 lbs (according to the Wii)
Sophia vocobulary simply amazes me. She know exactly what she wants. For instance she loves to read and will tell you what books she wants. He fav right now "Mama where are you" and in her words. " Mama wa ah chew" I ask her what she wants for breakfast and she says "eggos" ALso brushing her teeth with her toddler toothpaste is a hit! "bushe teesth" LOL.

Happy 2nd Birthday Sophia.

For Sophia's 2nd birthday we really didn't do to much! It was a Monday and we went to Costco with the Fykes. That night Becky and Jarod came over for cake and snacks. Same as last year she was SPOILED! Lots of cash from Grandparent and 4 pair of shoes. (lucky) Sophia officially has more shoes then Jason and myself combined. LOL.
Becky bought her the cutest purple and white Puma running shoes. I had just finished up a Cake Decoration class through Michael's. It was alot of fun. I thought this year I would be a good Mom and make her birthday cake. TA DA it didn't turn out to badly.
Happy Birthday to my sweat sweat little one.

Haley's grade 8 grad!

Tonight was my Cousin Haley’s Grade Graduation. She looked beautiful from head to toe! I would like to add that I picked out her shoes.  Things have changes since my grade 8 graduation 18 years ago! (WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!)
The kids YEP kids (age ~ 13) are dressed up and polished like they are modeling for a fashion magazine. Everything matters like god forbid you have the same dress as someone else.. sheeesh. Haley and I have always been close. I have watched her grow from the second she was born babysitting, weekends at the lake. Haley was even the flower girl in our wedding. These days we spend Tuesday evening together in a cake decorating class. Tonight I had a little tear when an old song came on the radio. It was a song she knew the words to when she was only five. I used to laugh when we listened to it because she sounded so adorable. Well it came on the radio tonight while she was getting ready and we both remembered it.

The Zoo, Zoo, Zoo!

So we packed up early on Tuesday June 21st and headed to the Toronto Zoo with our friends the Fykes. Such a great day! The kids had an awesome time seeing all the animals. Andrew even got to feed some geese! The toddlers enjoyed the Carousel and Zoo-mobile rides, while the Infants slept most of the time in carriers or in one the three Quinny Freestyle strollers that we lugged along. LOL (inside joke) I debated whether or not to upgrade and get an annual zoo membership as its only about 90 minutes door to door. We decided after the day was over that maybe Sophia is still a little too young and would appreciate all the zoo has next year.

From Newborn to Infant

So tonight I was changing Christopher and noticed he is ALREADY growing out of his 6 month sleepers. ~cry~cry~cry~ He is only 15 weeks old. Not even 4 months and I already moving to 9 month sleepers :(. I just want to keep him in a little bubble. I just love our cuddles! He talks and mimics what I do. Like sticking out his toungue, cooing, and giggling. Gawd I love my little man. If you would have asked me in Febuary what I really thought of having a second baby and if there was any possible way I could share the love I have for my little girl with another human being! The answer would have been " I hope so" But the moment I set eyes on him I fell in love. Same love I have for Sophia. I am really enjoying my family of 4. Somedays are more challenging then others. Espcially with Sophia now turning TWO and starting the so called "terrible twos" We have already had our share of temper tantrums. LIke she HATES going to bed all of a sudden. Like naps are hard to come by! Oh and diaper changes are becoming a work out for both mommy and Sophia. She kicks and twists her body making it next to impossible GAH! Oh and Jason is hard core into studying with some midtems coming up so I find the days getting longer with the two of them. Thank goodness we have a great backyard to play in and burn off energy.
