Happy Belated Easter

Time is flying by over here…Currently, I am 20.5 weeks pregnant with baby # 4 (its a boy). Yes, Mr. Smiles is going to have a little buddy to wrestle with.
We have had some major diet changes over here: We are currently a “Gluten Free and Dairy (almost) free house) more on that to come!
K. Bear is riding a “big girl” bike like a champ and going to do quite well as a big sister to two little guys! Pumpkin is rocking the house with school reading at a 2nd/3rd grade reading level and delighting us with her love for knowledge. Mr.Smiles is full of energy and spunk. “Boys will be boy’s” I’m pretty sure if I looked at his toes close enough I would see suction cups on his toes…because that kid can climb anything!
Did you know if you plant jelly beans …you would get

 Suckers!!!

 Thank you to my kiddos for keeping me on my toes everyday and teaching me to savor the moment!


From baby to big boy!!

Mr. Smiles is in a toddler bed  he is doing great and we couldn’t be more proud of our little man!


 He is 18 months going on “3” (at least). He wants nothing more than to be like the big kids. When mommy walked in to find him horizontal on the front of the crib it was time to take down the rail. He is our youngest crib to bed transitioner (is that a word?) but so far so good.

He has even mastered the in and out! Naps are a bit more tricky these days as the toys in his room are ever so tempting. However, Im happy to say when the sleepy sand starts to come…our smart little guy will make his way into his bed for a snooze! Nice job buddy 🙂

 Keep up the good work!! Love, Mommy and Daddy

O’yes, and the stats on our man;
Tooth number 9 is popping through as of today
Weighing in at 23lbs (10-25%)
Height 32 inches (50%)
Say’s Momma, Dadda, T, Nonna, Papa, Ball, Uh-O, Santa, Tree, and sign language of coarse (our saving grace with all of our kids!)
Loves; his sisters, balls, trains, trucks, to eat, and play babies with his big sisters 🙂

Stinker!

 Yes, Mr. Smiles has officially reached “stinker” status in our home! Climbing everything in sight and quickly transitioning into “boyhood”. He mastered climbing the couch, the hamper, the table, the kitchen stools, the bed, and nearly out of the crib in a matter of weeks. Ugh!

I am thinking a “big boy” bed transition is in our very near future. The girls were both out of the crib by 21mo but at 16 mo??

 

 Here my little man is in action…climbing the dirty clothes hamper of all things!! His monkey toes can help him climb virtually anything.


Getting his balance…..

 SUCCESS!! Dear Lord…Pray for my sanity!
