Jack Lately
This post is mostly for me. If I don't start writing this stuff down, I am going to so forget it all and one day I want to laugh!
I mean I had no idea what to expect from a 2 year old little boy, but its something! He is so funny, independent and about as stubborn as they come. He will look right at you and grin this sweet I am so innocent grin and then knock his brother right in the head! He loves to dance and sing and when he learns a new song that is the only song we can sing for about 3 weeks until he discovers a new one. He loves movies and is the same way about them. Right now we watch Bee Movie about 3 times a day.
He loves school and his best little buddies Reed and Elliott. He has a new friend Emily Kathryn and she is adorable! Of course yesterday he hit her and then cried for her all afternoon. I told him she is really cute, so he better be sweet! HA! You can visit her mom's blog here. She can sew amazingly!
He loves to do karate chops on anything and everything and we must have a golf club, baseball and glove, or fishing pole to correspond to the one that is currently on the TV. He is all boy and wants to be sweaty and play outside. He is starting to loathe jon-jons and will ask for pants when I am trying to dress him! I always say, but its so cute, its so cute just wear it and Sunday night when I was dressing him for our movie date he looked right at me and said (in the most sarcastic tone) But is soooo cute!
He has a love to hate relationship with Henry. He wants him around where he can see him and does not like for anyone he does not know well to touch or hold Henry, yet he can just bop him on the head anytime he wants! He has become obsessed with Henry's baby food and wants to sit in the high chair with a bib and eat his own jar, so I let him. I decided to pick my battles with this one and just let him have it. He needs the fruits and veggies anyway!
He loves pizza, chick-fil-a, and Dr. Pepper. He wants to eat salsa with a spoon and thinks when you eat dinner at the big table with the grownups you must use a grownup knife and fork. All drinks must be in a straw cup and sour candy is a treat he loves.
He loves to wear his "scrubs" that his Grandi made him to bed and he sleeps with a stuffed Barney, a stuffed Very Hungry caterpillar over his face, 2 baby blankets, and 4 snuggles. He does not like naps and will entertain himself for hours in his room instead of napping. He loves for J to read to him and they must lay down and each hold a book.
He loves to talk on the phone and we have to call Aunt Emmy daily. He hates dogs right now and I mean HATES dogs. We have gotten used to spending lots of time in the time out corner, and when I send him there he will ask where is the spanking spoon! HA!
He loves to take a bath or shower and would probably take 10 a day if we would let him. He loves to cross his arms and bow out his chest when he is mad at you and he completes it with an eye roll and huff! (wonder where he gets that! HA! )
He is a complete mess and every day is an adventure nothing like the day before. I love him more than anything and just sit and laugh about the things he does that I would have never imagined! He is smarter than me and someday I will let him know that, but for now I will pretend to be smarter than him and take each day as it comes. Oh BOYS, and I would not have it any other way!

Its Been Awhile!
I know, I know and yes I am still going to blog! Its been a crazy summer around here with lots and lots going on. We are enjoying ourselves and my three guys are keeping me busy! I have tons of pictures and lots to share, so its a long one! And no I am not trying to make you think Jack is a terrible kid, I just want to remember all the little things, because one day I will laugh!
- We had a great Father's Day. Church, lunch, and then while J golfed Em and I took the boys to see Pop.
- Our sweet friends were in town over the weekend. We were glad to spend some time with them and glad that they were not home when the fires hit Gulf Shores State Park so close to their house! Jack loved the extra boys to play with and it was fun to catch up over dinner!
- 3 moms took 6 boys to play at the huge Adventure place Friday and eat Chick-fil-a. It was wild fun, but boy was I worn out afterwards.
- This is still the sweetest baby EVER!! Okay, Jack was a good baby too, but he is making up for it in his 2's!
- We took Jack to his 1st movie (Cars 2) last night. It was a slight disaster! The movie was odd and really had nothing to do with the 1st one. It was pouring down rain, like as in J had to dump the water out of his shoes! and we only lasted 1 hour before Jack said I just want to go home! HA!

Funk
For some reason I have been in a funk the last couple of days. I think all the preparation to go on vacation, then getting ready for Henry's baptism, plus taking Tootlebugs orders again, and having both boys at home all day, and J being covered up at work and working late has just done me in! I am tired and I am sitting here right now trying to talk myself into just taking nap with Jack and Henry this afternoon. I probably should and it would probably make me feel better, but then I think of everything I need to be doing, so I am thinking a Dr. Pepper will have to do for today!
Jack is loving being back at school and he was so proud of his coloring sheet yesterday and could not wait to show it to his daddy. He also learned an adorable song about a bumble bee and he was singing away last night...hand motions and all. Of course I had not heard that song before and he is still hard to understand sometimes, so after he sang it for Gigi we called Aunt Beth...we knew that 20 something years of kindergarten teaching would help us out and it did! She sang it for me and now I can sing it with Jack. I have got to try to get it on video...its priceless!

Henry's Baptism
We baptized Henry Sunday morning and it was a great day! All of our sweet families were were with us and Henry was perfect, as usual and Jack even acted like such a little man. He shook the preacher's hand and everything! Both boys got to wear the same outfit for their baptisms, but Henry was in it at 6 mos and Jack at 1 year! Its funny how different they are in so many ways! We had lunch and yummy cake at our house afterwords. The cousins got to run around and play and that made for a much easier lunch than trying to eat out with 3 little ones!
John's sisters family and my Aunt Beth, and cousin Jessica had never gotten to meet Henry, so that added to the fun and excitement!
Warning...LOTS OF PICTURES! Enjoy!

Lots and Lots
Today was crazy and that is about the best way I can describe the last few days. We had Henry's baptism this weekend (more on that tomorrow) and got to spend some time with family, today Jack started back to summer MDO and he was so excited to go back. (I had forgotten how much you can get done with only baby) And of course it helps that he is so good!
And finally, we met with the realtor tonight and it looks like we might be giving this selling the house thing one last attempt. We really want a yard and I need a room for my work, so it just seems like now is the best time for us. Whew!! See I told you alot!! Hopefully I will get to work tomorrow while Jack is at school and maybe even make it to the grocery store!!

It's My Party!
We had been planning to get Jack and his buddy Reed together to celebrate Reed's 3rd birthday for almost two weeks and every time someone was either sick or out of town! They were at the beach for Reed's actual birthday, so Wednesday night we had a little fun. Reed got a power wheels truck and could not wait for Jack to ride beside him! Jack on the other hand could not wait to jump out! He was not a fan! They had cupcakes, MacQueen party favors, and yummy Taziki's for dinner.

Vegas, Baby!
Yes, we are still alive and well...just busy! J and I spent the last few days in Vegas sans kids thanks to Pop and Nana! Of course Jack and Henry did not care one bit that we were gone, and I managed to make it until Sunday night before I was just done and ready to go see them! The week hit full blast when we got back and we have lots going on this weekend that we have been running around like crazy trying to get ready for. (Errands in 97 degree heat in and out of stores with boys is NOT the most fun thing in the world, add a two year old fit for a sucker bigger than his head and well you have one sweaty frustrated mom and two crying babies, and that is enough to make you just go home and give up!)
Okay back to Vegas...it was bliss...all the time I wanted to shop, talk to J, eat a dinner that I actually remembered eating and getting to have the time to sit and enjoy it for 3 hours! Until next years kid-free vacation...I LOVED YOU!!

Dear Henry: Month Six
Dear Henbug,We decided that you and Jack could not both be Tootlebug, so somehow you have gotten Henbug, Lovebug, and Hen-Hen for nicknames. But don't worry we will quit calling you those before you are old enough to get mad at us for it! Jack gets in your face and says good morning good morning good morning Henbug! Its so funny and you have really started interacting with him a lot. Of course he still drives you crazy like yesterday when he tried to ride you like you were a horse!
You are so laid back, and did not cry one tear at the doctors yesterday for your shots. You are still in the 90% percentile for weight, but have slowed down lots. You weigh 20lbs 9 oz and are 27 inches long (75% percentile) You are in 12 months clothes for the most part and we have lots and lots of those, so stop growing for just a little while.
We started cereal and you were a bit hesitant, but when you tasted Applesauce you LOVED IT!! You are trying to sit up, and have a laugh that could melt the hearts of many. Gigi thinks you look like a porcelain baby, and I think I agree. I got my blue-eyed baby and I could not love you anymore! You make our days brighter and its hard to believe it has been 1/2 of a year since we brought you home from the hospital...it seems like you have been here forever!
Love you more today than yesterday!!
Mommy

June is here
Its hard for me to believe it is June and most of all that my baby will be 6 months old tomorrow!
Our June has started out with a bang! Jack is sick, summer cold so we have been home the last two days which meant we had to miss a Chick-fil-a playdate and Reed's birthday dinner. Explaining to a 2 year old why he can not go somewhere and that he must stay out of the baby's face.... OH MY! We rescheduled birthday plans and will be taking a little trip to the doctor tomorrow!
So much has changed since this time last year and life is crazier that I ever imagined! Just for fun here we are last June...
