Littlest peanut

5 months now

Sleep

Not to be forgotten

Never

This never happens so I have to document it. We are wearing these kids
out!!! We drive all over the country and she is up at 11 pm when we
check into the hotel!!! Seriously rare moment. Today we were just
driving home from shopping. They have great shopping here!!

Cuddles

Me and my boys on moving day!!

Grant says...

"This is how I snooze now." Little man decided he was too cool for
wedges, swaddles and sleeping on his back! So now he promptly flips
himself to his belly for night nights :)

View from the boppy

Kids are just chillin in our empty house watching a movie while I
nurse grant. Does it matter that it is over an hour past bedtime??
Nope, memories people! That's what it's all about ;)

Face rash

Grant gets a rash on his face under his eyes across the bridge of his
nose. Any one know what causes this? Doesn't make him any less cute!!

Friendly Frogs

Why does my daughter love frogs so much!!?? While we were packing
out, Nate moved the water hose and found these little guys. Claire was
so excited. They played with them in the sink and then mean ole mom
said time for them to go back home to their mama frog!

But mom he has fuzz

I was trying to get everyone out of the car into target and claire was
standing with grant. I said come on claire (the story of my life these
days) she told me to wait because she was getting the fuzz out of his
toes. She also HAS to do this to herself everytime she wears socks.

Sweet Boy

Just some fun pictures of Grant lately. He is growing so fast and is such a good baby! We all just want to eat him up he is so cute!

Claire End of the School Year

School is out for the summer!!! Yeah! It is near impossible to take all three kids for drop off and pick up. Thank God for my friend Meredith who helped me a lot with that after Grant was born. Claire already misses school. It was a great year and she had a great group of kids in her class. We are really going to miss Old Fort. There is always an end of the year program and last year she didn't make it through the first song before she lost it. This year she went in saying she was going to cry, she remembered. Although she loves music and will sing the whole program to me multiple times a day...something about the stage... She was brave for three or four songs and then she just started bawling. It was like she bit her tongue or something because it came out of nowhere! She later told us her band aid got stuck on her pants???? Her teacher got her down and she instructed her class from her teachers lap the rest of the program. The video is shaky because Jacob was using me as a jungle gym. Dad was up in the balcony videoing.

Firetruck Playdate

Our mops group brought in a firetruck for one of our playdates. It was extremley hot but Jacob though it was pretty cool. He wouldn't get too far from me and wouldn't go sit in the firetruck like Claire would. But he did enjoy seeing it and pointing and saying FIRE TRUCK!

Visit from Friends!!!

My great friend Gina came to visit us last weekend and we had such a great time catching up. Luke and Claire grew up together when we lived across the street from each other at Scott AFB. Gina and I used to walk every morning and we really miss being close to each other. We pretty much just hung out here and let our kids play. Since Scott AFB we have added 3 kids between the two of us. Elli is almost one. She was so cute and full of joy! Thanks for making the drive G :)

Grant 2 months

Grant had his 2 month checkup a few weeks ago...Gosh he is almost 3 months now! He had a good checkup and got a round of shots. He was VERY fussy after his shots but after the day was over he was back to his happy self. Doctor says everything looks good. He weighed 10 pounds (20%) and was 22 1/2 inches (50%) he is such a little peanut! I love it :) Jacob was there to help and steal Grants paci whenever I wasn't looking. He sure does keep me on my toes!

Auntie Em

Auntie Em came to visit and the kids had a great time playing with her! We enjoyed having her one more time in Charleston before we move.

Grant is smiling

and i love it!!

4 yr checkup

Claire had her 4 yr checkup today. We had told her about how she would
be getting shots. She acted like she understood and was very good
throughout the checkup. But the look on her face when they gave her
the first two shots brought me to tears. Innocence shattered. But she
recovered quickly. Height 42 1/2 inches (95%), weight 40 pounds

Mr. Potato Heads

Claire and Jacob are so silly!! They are really starting to interact and love to play with each other. Claire loves having a brother to play with and is so sweet to help him too. Jacob cries when I take Claire to school and points and says Sis...Sis...Sis... Here they are being total goofballs with Mr. Potato Head glasses on! They would put them on just laugh and laugh! Too Cute! Love these kiddos.

Suicide Disney Trip

I guess when Nate was in college he went on these Suicide trips...They would decide last minute where they were going on then go! No planning, crazy spontaneity. Well, he came home last Friday and said we were going to take a suicide trip to Disney! So we did. We literally found a hotel while we were driving. It was a great trip! We got a lot of looks and comments about little Grant. He was in the sling most of the time. Claire lost her shoe in the Castle's Moat and Disney gave her a new pair of crocs!! And got her shoe back. How cool is that? Claire had a great time and remembered all the rides. She loved meeting the characters and wished she had her autograph book to have them sign it...Jacob liked the stuff he went on and was okay about meeting the characters. He was a little timid and didn't understand "give him a hug" he would walk up and put his hands up like he wanted them to pick him up. He took a nap both days in the stroller which was great because I could nurse Grant, Jacob could sleep, and Nate and Claire could ride something that Jacob couldn't. Grant loved getting "held" for two days all day. Made the last week interesting as he has wanted to be held all day. But he is better now. We stayed at the Marriott World Center and I wouldn't recommend it. It was a great hotel and a great price but we really liked staying on property better. We'll be sad when we are in DC and can't hop in the car and go see Mickey! It was well worth the stress/shock and awe when Nate gave me the news. Gotta love my hubby!
