I took the boys to the squares for a walk and it is SOOOOOO beautiful! My kids were quite bothered because I found my self more interested in the beauty than the boys walk. The flowers here in Savannah really only last about 2 weeks because a storm usually comes and blows them down so I am driving everywhere I can right now so I can enjoy all the scenery around us! After the flowers it is still amazingly beautiful with all the green and canopy of trees over all the roads. I fell so lucky to live here!

Getting bigger

I was so excited to take Grey to the dr yesterday to see how he's growing. I was relieved to see that he had gained 3lbs since his last visit, but he is still nowhere near being on the chart. He weighed 15.0lbs at 7 months. He has been doing so much over the past 4 weeks. He is finally getting used to baby food, but he loves the veggies way more than the fruit. He is pushing up onto all fours and rocking back and forth. I think he will be crawling soon. I have to keep reminding myself that he was born at 32 weeks and that it's normal for him to be a little behind right now. He is such a good, happy little baby. He already knows how to work his mama and daddy by flashing his huge dimply smile. He can light up any room. He loved to get peoples attention. I usually can't make it through a store with out getting stopped by random people to talk to him. Wow, he is such a blessing in my life right now. He reminds me of all the many reasons that I have to be happy in life. We love him to pieces!

Workin' the shades

I actually was able to pull brogans sunglasses away from him long enough to try on Baby Grey. Grey seemed to think it was the funniest thing ever.

I might need a muzzle...

A day at Walmart with Vance....
"hey mom look at that baby, he's just like our baby....but our baby IS NOT black" good thing the parents could laugh it off.

"oh my gosh, can people hurry up and move faster" I said, "Vance there is an old man in a wheelchair so we need to be patient. Vance says "ok" then he walks slowly past this eldery man and says " my mom doesn't need one of those crazy things because my mom is a mom, AND SHE CAN WALK!"
Omg what do you do as a mother when your kid is very quick witted and says EVERYTHING on his mind! We laugh now but I hope it stops soon. We have been trying to teach him respect but sometimes the don't understand when they need to use it most.

Why do boys think this is ok?

Oh probably because daddy says it's ok. The problem is that they can't get when it IS ok and when it's NOT!

So many smiles

This kid has a permagrin! He is so funny. All you have to do is look at him and he will gladly show off his famous dimples. I know Vance was smily as a baby but I don't remember him being like this. Grey is just such a little ray of sunshine. He can sence when his grandma Cowart is coming into the room and he starts laughing before she even gets there. Poor grandma holds him ALL the time in her recliner because that's where he wants be;) he's getting so big. I just can't beleive it. I'm trying my hardest to remember and document each day because I've learned with the other ones that time goes way to fast

Normal? or not?

My Brogan has all of the sudden gone back to speaking like a baby! UGH it is driving me nuts. He adds EE on the end of eveything thing even if it already has it. Like, Baby-ee or hotdog-ee or blankie-ee...... I think he is starting to get a little bit of middle child syndrome. He better get over it REAL quick!

6 months (4 months)

Little Mr Grey Grey is 6 months!!!! I just can't believe it. He really should only be 4 months so he is very small. He's about 12 pounds now and he is all smiles! He is finally to the point where I can love on him all I want without worrying that I am going to hurt him. When I was pregnant with him, I would have sworn that he would be my little brown baby. Well, genetics are a crazy thing. So far I have made LIGHT skinned, blue eyed babies. I just don't get it. Grey is so bald compared to my other babies. It kind of drives me a little crazy. Those who know me, know that I love doing my kids hair and it frustrates me that Grey doesn't have any. He has the BIGGEST dimples just like my other boys. Eveyone has to stop me when I'm out to comment on them. He had such a rough start in this world and I am so happy to see him finding his place and being a happy little baby. Its so amazing that babies can be born at 32 weeks and be perfectly fine. I am thankful everyday for the blessing that he is.

getting clean

OK SERIOUSLY........ boys are SO dirty! I just don't get it. This may sound bad but I really wish I didn't have to bath them so much. I guess it just comes with having boys. I could just make them stay inside all day but what would be fun about that?

the mouth of a 4 year old

Vance was watching me blog and told me that he want to "say some stuff" so here goes.....
"My name is Vance. I love transformers. I want to go make a sword, so I can save my princess mom from the dragon. oh wait, I want to tell a story. Once there was a crab, he always crawls around and kills dinosaurs. He also likes to go down slides and watch movies at school. Mom did you know goats say Baa. Im done, lets go to the park"
That was word for word out of Vance. His little mind is so busy. He thinks about the weirdest things. I could sit and talk to him all day without getting bored. The other day I was in the car and I was talking to Ben about saving money and I hear a little voice from the back say "Mom, Mom! Save money, live better, WALMART!" He is so fuuny. We were watching Ice Age and it showed the boy and girl kissing and he said, "Mom, guess what they are going to do" Being a little worried at what he might say, I said "what?" he said, They are gonna go have a Valentines Party". hmmmmm where did that come from. those are just a few of the crazy and great things he says all day every day. I look forward to it everyday!

twinners

Ok, so on May 31, 2005, I gave birth to my sweet Vance who weighed 6.14lbs (on his due date). On November 9, 2006 I had my little Brogan and he also weighed 6.14lbs! (3 weeks early) As a baby Brogan was always TINY! He could ever even make it on the growth charts. Bro Bro seriously grew over night at aout 14 months. Ever since, he has been huge. The other day I took them both to the Dr. for check-ups and they both weighed exactly 41.6lbs!!! Brogan is off the charts again, but at the other end. So my 3 and 4 year old weigh the EXACT same. Crazy. It is so funny that they love to wrestle because it is a very fair and even match. The other day, I was watching them play and I was SO happy that I gave them one another to have forever. Yes, they are boys and they fight and argue sometimes, but they are so dang cute together. Everyone thought I was crazy for having my babies 17 months apart, but I am so happy I did!

V-day

We didn't do much for Valentines day. Ben took me on a nice date and Aunt Lisa helped the boys make cutel little V-day cards. The boys love doing any kind of crafts so they stayed busy for a while. Thanks Aunt lisa!

boys will be boys

I love this picture of the boys playing!

life with 3 is crazy...but good

Well well well.... My 3 little hood rats;) life with 3 has been such a change. I really thought 2 kids was SOOOOOO easy. Vance and Brogan were 17 months apart and I think I never left "baby mode" before I had little Bro Bro. Well, it has been so different with this 3rd baby. I feel like I have forgotten everything there is to know about babies. Grey is very very sweet and smily, but he is still a handful. NOTHING is better than seeing my 2 older boys talk to sweet baby Grey and say "hey Bubba" or "hi sweet baby Grey"! I just love to hear all of them play together. They are both great helpers. Sometimes I wonder if they feel like little slaves because of all I ask of them. My whole life I knew I wanted little girls. That was all I ever thought about. I couldn't wait to have cute little girls that I could get so dressed up and teach them to be just like me. I guess the Lord decided to throw a curve ball at me gave my 3 loud, crazy, busy, loving, sweet, funny, emotional little boys. I still sometimes wish I had a doughter, but I am so so so thankful for my sweet little boys. I could not be more lucky with what I have been blessed with. They are my life. I know that I was made to be a mom of boys! All of them are so proud to have me as a mom and show me so much love. Through all my hard times or trials that I may have, my boys are always there to tell me they love me and give me big hugs and kisses! I look forward to life with them, to teach me and keep me smiling. THEY ARE THE BEST!
