Back in the swing of things...

Well, it is about that time again...the dreaded day before going back to school. For us that means getting back into the swing of things, back on a schedule, back to a bedtime routine and back to getting up early! Ugg! We so enjoyed sleeping until we woke up, of course for me, it was more like sleeping until Boog and/or Tutti-Frutti was ready to get up. Still, not having anywhere to be by a certain time was great. Don't get me wrong, schedules are great but boo on waking up early to get kids ready. Anyone who knows my kids, knows that they are bears to wake up! Even though Boog has been really off schedule with everyone being home, it has been nice. Back to getting on with things and napping regularly! So...Hi-Ho, Hi-Ho, It's off to school we go!

But did I mention that also means back to music, basketball practice, band practice and other after school activities? Maybe that is what having a break from was nice! Humm...

And the little one said....ROLLOVER!

Oops, I am a very bad mommy! I forgot to post that Tutti-Frutti is rolling over now from tummy to back. The other night we were playing in the floor and I had just finished putting together one of his Christmas presents, a tummy/activity mat/crawl through gym thingy and I put him down on his tummy to check out the cool toys and he immediately flipped himself over to his back. I had been trying for weeks to get him to try but he HATES laying on his tummy. Must be something about my kids, no one wanted to lay on their tummy. Geez, maybe we hold them too much! ;p Nah, that couldn't be it!

Yay! He is getting to be such a big boy :( makes me want to cry!

Mr. Lil Man

Mr. Lil Man had to get his monthly Synagis injection this morning so we took the opportunity to see how big he is getting. I was unable to schedule his regular 4 month well check until January 12th so we were just dying to know. So...at 4 months, Mr. Lil Man is 13 lbs. 4oz. and is 25"! And of course just as cute as can be.



Boog, being the best big brother in the world, was so concerned about his baby, had tears in his eyes as he asked, "Mommy, is he goin' be ok?" How sweet is that?!? He loves his baby brother.

Weekly Wednesday

This is actually from last night. Tutti-Frutti and Daddy were playing on the bed. Just too cute to pass up sharing. Grandma made the adorable shirt he is wearing. So serious...so tired...all of the holiday festivities are catching up with him. He is a sleeper, used to sleeping all day...and night. We have had so much to do, so many places to go and so many visitors (not that we do not LOVE all of the excitement) that he has had a hard time sleeping for very long during the day.
This morning, playing in the exersaucer Santa brought. He LOVES it!
What a cutie!
And who doesn't need a hat like this?!?

Weekly Wednesday...on Thursday, with a side of Boog.

Okay, these are a day late because I was convinced all day yesterday, that today was Wednesday. I had gone as far as to plan out what kind of cute Christmasy pictures I would be able to use. Oops! Anyway, they are still cute. More random pictures of the last few weeks to come soon.

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas Day! We will continue to celebrate for the next 3 days so there will be more pictures soon.
