4 month well visit

Brennan had his 4 month well baby visit today. They did all the usual stuff and he got his shots. :'-( He was a trooper! He is a tall and skinny boy too. He was 25 1/2 inches and 14 lbs 8 oz. We are still going strong with breastfeeding and have tried a little cereal, but he wasn't quite ready for it yet. I thought he might be teething, but the doctor said it doesn't look like it. Just that he likes to have things in his mouth and he is a drooler. lol He also looks like ahe is a thumb sucker and the doctor said keeping his hands busy can help prevent that without having to use a paci if we don't want to. I am trying not to give it to him as much as the other 2 had theirs. So that's it. He looks good and will go back at 6 months.

Jump!! Jump!! Jump!!

We went to a cookout at a friend's house. Brennan jumped in his friends Jumparoo for like an hour! He got crazier than this even. He had so much fun! OH MAN!! IT'S SIDEWAYS!! I'm such a dork...




My cutie boys were dressed alike. Kailyn refused to get in the picture. And yes, that's my laundry on the couch. lol

Just another day...

...in the life of a crazy momma! So i've been trying to get the house cleaned up for when Timmy gets home. It's been through many degrees of messy since he was gone, but I did get it ok looking for a little while and want to at least get it back to that point. We need to do some serious decluttering and get rid of LOTS of clothes and some stuff that's just hanging around.
The kids have been so crazy. One minute they are happy, playing, the next they are ripping each other's throats out. Kailyn has been getting into things a lot more this past week and can't tell me why. She usually just puts this pitiful face on and says "I miss my daddy." And I think it could very well be her acting out, out of frustration, not really knowing what else to do. We have talked more about daddy this time and I am wondering if that wasn't the right approach. I had pictures on the screen saver and stuff and I think it might have come up to often about him being gone.
Brennan did roll over this week! He went from front to back. I got him to do it again for the camera, but I had to help him along that time since he wasn't too enthusiastic about it. He HATES laying down (on both his tummy and back.) He did LOVE jumping in the jumparoo at our friends house yesterday. I am gonna borrow one from another friend who's daughter is too big for hers.
So I guess we are just waiting for daddy now! Not long! I can't wait for him to see the kids, especially Brennan. He has grown so much! I'll probably post some pictures when he gets home.

We had a fun day today. Some of it was real fun, some of it was sarcastic.. the "fun" part of the day was going for Kailyn's pre-k registration. I had a feeling that the paper the doctor gave us wasn't going to be what they needed and I was right. So now I have to wait for the doctor's office to call me back and let me know when I can get the paper I DO need.

The real fun was going outside to play. I had someone cut the front yard today (still need the back done) so I moved the car to the end of the driveway and let the kids play. Kailyn rode her bike and Ashton kicked a ball around. I might have to get him into soccer! He was doing a good job. But it was a nice day. It rained real good yesterday, so the pollen was knocked out of the air and it was sunny, warm and dry. We haven't had all three in one day in a while!

He rolled!

So of course when I didn't have the camera Brennan decided to roll over. He doesn't like tummy time at all, so he kept putting his face down and screeching. Finally he scrunched himself up and rolled right over. Guess I won't be getting him to play on his tummy anymore! '

So I went and grabbed the camera and tried to get him to do it again. He will never be a performer i'm sure because as soon as that camera comes out he puts on a stare and won't do a thing. lol But I helped him out a little and got him to roll again for the camera. So here he is! (once again I sound like a total dork.. lol)

Video time!

So here's a clip of Brennan while he was eating some cereal and apples. There's no eating, just me trying to get some laughs. I sound like a goober, but who cares. lol I'm excited cause daddy can see this site on the boat so hopefully he gets to see this!

Pictures!

Here's Mr. Brennan getting his first cereal. Most of it came right back out. lol He did like the applesauce I gave him today. At least more of it stayed in then came out. hehe
