The Difference between your first and third child

The diff. between your 1st and third is when you find your third in the pantry eating fruit loops off the

floor you DONT freak out, let her grab a few before you pic her up and let the dog clean up the rest........when its your first you dont even have fruit loops because those have to much sugar who would feed those to a kid! :)

Sick baby girl.....

Sarah got sick as kids do....but this time it seemed worse than the reg. cold so I took her in and she has Croup......with a strider?? Dont know much about it but she sounds really pathetic because her vocal cords are swollen which makes it hard to breath and really makes her sound bad.......she is on an oral steroid for a few days and lots of Ibuprofin. I am sure she will be back to her normal self soon but for now she is down and out....its been a long week I am ready for her to be better.

Can you belive it....

ok so just to brag a bit to those of you back east.....last week we went swimming twice! Both heated pools BUT still outside. Yesterday we meet my friend Heather at her apartment and they have a great kid pool and slpash area, it was a little chilly getting out but for the most part it was nice!! Just never thought I would be saying that we SWAM outside in JAN! :) Sorry I dont have pics of it....as you can imagine with 3 kids only one of them swimming my hands were a bit full :) Thanks again Heather we had a good time!

Baby Sarahs first Pony Tail :)

Shes such a big girl now!! :)

Ummmm where did all the kids go....

Ok so I know that MOST of you think I am CRAZY and INSANE but I just am this way....FINALLY yes FINALLY we moved Sarah out of our bedroom! So last night was the first night in our room with out a child sleeping in there in some way for like the past 1 1/2 years....only it wasnt.....because Emily woke up crying @ 2 (thanks for taking care of her Bob :) )then Sarah woke up crying at 3 and didnt go back down until 4:30.....so while she wasnt technically sleeping in our room becuase her crib is now in Stephs room it REALLY wasnt ANY BETTER~! I am ready to do like Kenny Loggins and get a bed the size of 2 king size beds and just have a FAMILY bed........seriously THEN maybe I would get more sleep!!! Ok well thats my complaint.....I am going to stick to it though and hope that over the next week or so she will get a little more acclimated to the new room and do better...........we will see........I know that sleep IS in my future............at least till I dedcide to do it all again.....hehehehehehe

Kisses from Sarah

Sarah has learned how to pass out BIG GIANT WET kisses! She even gave one to her anesthesiologist @ the hospital! SOOOOO CUTE!!!!!!! I cant get enough of them!! She even adds on the "mmmmah"

Sarah signs....

So we have been showing Sarah the sign for more for awhile now, but I haven't been super diligent with it....so the other day my mom saw her doing it but of course she wouldn't do it again....well she finally got it! At dinner when I asked her if she wanted more she would sign it!! :) Go baby Sarah!!

OMG we are in trouble now......

Dont let that cute kid fool you! So everyone warned me about child #3........they are crazy and wild........yeah yeah I said.....WELL now I guess I should have listened a little more! Sarah for SURE has more spunk than my other 2. She loves to crawl up on the coffee table and one day helped grandma do the dishes by STANDING in the dishwasher!!!!! So I realise she is going to be a little more to handle...BUT today OMG is all I can say!!! So she had been down for a nap for about 3 hours...it was a pretty long nap for her...Bob went upstairs to get a change of clothes and called down to me....Connie, can you come up here? I said yeah, is something wrong...just come he said...so up the stairs I went awaiting some emergency I was sure.....to the top of the stairs I get and there are BOb and Sarah standing in the bedroom door way....he says "did you get her out of her crib?" to which I said "NO! did you" (DUHHH of course he didnt he just asked me that!!) SO I ask Andrew if he got her out he said no.....we go look at her crib and sure enough you could see RIGHT where her little foot pushed up on her crib bumper and she must have gotten her foot through pushe on the arm of my recliner and gotten out onto the recliner then down! Bob found her inthe bathroom playing! Who knows how long she was awake. I still cant get over it! She is just barley a year!!! Neither of the other 2 EVERY tried to crawl out of thier cribs even at 2 years old!!!! SO tonight the chair is getting moved and if I must the bumper will come out! OY what are we gonna do with that girl!!!! Gotta go she just bashed her face on the coffee table....OY
