Grrr

So I have no camera, right. This morning Quincy is smiling up a storm and looking just cuter than ever. And I have no camera to take a picture with!!! I may have to try to find my old film camera so I can at least try to capture these adorable smiles.

And on another note. I just opened a new mega box of diapers (192 count) this week, and now I am pretty sure that Quincy is too big for them. He has had poo leak all over me two days in a row now. ick.

No Pictures

I apologize for the lack of pictures this week. Unfortunately, there will probably be no pictures next week either. Our camera broke last weekend, so we haven't been able to take any pictures. This has been a busy week, so it took me a little while to narrow done which new camera I wanted. But I just ordered it earlier this morning, so it should be to our house sometime next week. Then, hopefully I can make up for the lack of pics since I will be having fun playing with my new camera!

2 month check-up

Quincy had his 2 month check-up today, and as expected he is doing great. He is a little chunky monkey though. His stats: weight 14.1 lbs (95%), height 22 1/2 in.(50%), and head 16 in. (50%).

I am so thankful

We went a childrens hospital yesterday for Miles to see a specialist since he is on the bottom of the height chart. This was our pediatricians idea. Miles is fine, the specialist wants us to come back in 6 months and again in a year for a height check, and then will run tests if Miles hasn't grown enough in that time. But he doesn't expect any problems.

While we were at the childrens hospital, we saw all sorts of other children that were also there, but many of whom had many more needs than my kids. All of our children are just so special, I just hugged mine extra close and said a prayer of thanks to have my children and have them home with me.

Tired boys

This is what I just found when I came in from the kitchen. I was wondering why it was so quiet while I was making dinner.

Tumbling, week 2

Okay, so Miles had his second tumbling class this morning. All week he kept asking about tumbling class, and was all excited to go again. Well, this morning at breakfast Mike asked him if he was going to tumble, to which Miles gave a very firm "no." After a bit of discussion, I tried the bribery method, even let him pick out his treat if he were to tumble and behave in class. He wanted cookies, so we agreed that if he behaved and tumbled in class, that we would stop at the store after class and he could pick out some cookies.

Didn't work.

He did behave better during class, and only cried a couple of times and the crying didn't last long. But no tumbling. He watched the teacher and other kids more this week, so all in all, I think there was progress. Of course, once we got in the van to go home, he asked to go to the store to get cookies. I gently reminded him that although he behaved much better, he did not do any tumbling, and that was the deal, so no cookies. We'll see how next time goes.

Random pics, moments

This has been an interesting week. The weather has been wacky, we got Miles 3 year pics taken, we had a playdate/brunch, tumbling class, and we are finally getting our upstairs bathroom redone. The upstairs shower finally works! And it doesn't leak! Once the bathroom is finished I'll post pictures. I forgot to take before pictures, but just imagine a poorly designed tiny bathroom in early eighties decor. Miles has had fun watching the work get done, and asking about every tool and piece of material he sees. He calls the man we hired "working man," as if that is his name.

Earlier this week, Q was in his carseat when Miles leaned over, grabbed his cheeks, and said "cutie, cutie, cutie." After I had my chuckle I asked him where he learned this, he replied, "Grandma." To the two Grandmas - I think you know which one of you he is referring to, you know, the one Miles called "Grandma grab my cheeks" for several days before you came to visit in August.

I have taken a few pics this week that I haven't had a chance to post,


Here is Miles helping Mike put new knobs on the cabinets.

And finally, Quincy's favorite awkward position when he is in his bouncy seat, swing or carseat. And before anyone tells me to put one of those head support things in there to help, I have, it doesn't make a bit of difference, and yes, I have put a double head rest in there as well, and a rolled up blanket, and anything else I could think of. This child just has no neck and likes to prove it all the time!
