Love these boys!!!

Halloween 2011

                                     How appropriate for this little piggie to be drinking his milk!

                                 Griffin got to ride in the stroller the entire time. Lazy little piggie!

This little piggie was so excited to run up to each door! It made me so happy to see his big smiles all night.

With the big bad daddy. Terry did such a good job dressing himself up as a wolf. I was pretty impressed. It was definitely a big hit. Love  that my boys have such a devoted loving daddy!

Catch Up

As I sit on the couch and type this (at 10:15pm), I'm listening to Grayson in his room sayin "merci boque" (spelling??) over and over again. His daddy taught him that it means "thank you" so he's been saying it all day when we do something for him. Pretty cute from a 3 year old. He says some things that crack me up. And Griffin is getting much more vocal lately as well. He repeats alot, but he also asks questions now. Tonight Terry went to a movie with a friend andGriffin's been asking "Where's daddy?" He's a bit harder to understand, but I guess I am just too used to Grayson being so good with his vocabulary. Terry says I need to stop comparing, but it's hard not to.
Gage went to the dr again this week and has his 5th ear infection. Terry went straight to the ENT and the poor baby should be getting tubes in the next week or two. I was freaking out about it because we had taken him earlier this month and the ENT had said he didn't like to take them into the OR until at least 4 months of age. I thought it may be because of the anesthesia. He confirmed that's not his reasoning at all, so I feel much better about the decision to do it now instead of waiting a few months. I feel so bad for him...5 ear infections and he's only 4 months old. I'm praying that this will help with his sleep issues as well and that we will see a full night's sleep in the near future.
And on a completely random note...isn't it weird how a little person can come into your life and after even a day you can't imagine your life without him? I am now the mother of 3 little boys and I can't imagine it any other way. I can't imagine throwing a girl into the mix. Just a few months ago I couldn't imagine what it would be like having 3 little boys. And now I wouldn't have it any other way.

Already?

Can you believe this boy will be 2 in a month?? Feels like I was just planning his first birthday and now I have to get started on planning his second. Where does the time go??

Gagey Poo

Well, Gagey Poo (as his brothers call him) is 3 1/2 months old. And he's had 3 ear infections. Two weeks ago I had to take him to the urgent care place after work because I knew he had another one. Funny how I can diagnose both an ear infection or a sinus infection in my boys. The doctor put him on antibiotics but he was still not acting like he felt right, so Terry took him to the ENT on Friday and that poor baby's ears were still infected after being on antibiotics for a week. It's looking like he will be getting tubes in the near future...I'm really torn about that. He's pretty much met the criteria...I mean, 3 ear infections and the boy is only 3 months old. The doctor won't take him in to do the surgery until he's at least 4 months old because he just doesn't like to take them into the OR when they are that little. So, on one hand I feel really bad that I'm pushing to get them done when he's so little. But on the other hand, I just want him to feel good. Poor baby is always congested. So, like I said....torn. Hoping I can feel good about whatever decision we make in the near future. Silly thing to ask for, but I'd appreciate any prayers for this sweet baby.

Long Time No Blog

It's been 2 months since I last posted an entry. Bad, bad blogger. I didn't even post pictures when Gage was born! Bad, bad mommy. I honestly have no excuse. Other than I'm busy. And tired. He is still waking up at least once, sometimes twice a night. And even though I'm only up with him about 30 minutes at a time, it still just wipes me out. The other 2 boys were sleeping through the night by the time I went back to work, so this is taking some getting used to. Good thing that sweet boy is so cute! Poor thing has his 2nd ear infection already...I think he's on the fast track for tubes, but we shall see. Luckily he is like his brothers and they don't seem to bother him too terribly bad.

This is random, but I wanted to add this picture because it makes me laugh everytime I see it. Last month while I was at bunco, Terry took this picture of all of them. I think it speaks for itself.

I love these boys!!
