Jack is 15 Months OLD!!! We went to the doctor on Monday, and here are his stats:
Height: 32 3/4 in - 85th percentile
Weight: 26 lbs - 75th-80th percentile
He is our big, TALL boy!
He is such a sweet, happy baby. He is starting to walk and takes about 10 steps at a time.....then decides to crawl :)
He is still taking 2 naps a day, most days....and sleeps 13 hours at night.
He says mama, dada, uh-oh, and bye bye. He loves to "talk" to his brother and always has a lot to say!
His favorite things are Elmo, playing with cars/trucks, climbing up the stairs, having someone chase him, being outside, playing with the dogs and playing with Will.
He LOVES milk.....and blueberries...just like his brother.
He is an excellent shopping buddy and loves to run errands with me while Will is at preschool.

Cute walking boy!!

He loves trucks and blocks

Running errands with Mommy
He loves the bounce house!
Right before he got his shots at the Dr.'s office...poor baby!

Three and a Half

Will turned 3 and a half on Monday! I can't believe he is going to be 4 this summer.....where does the time go?

Here is what Will is up to at 3 and a half...

Weight: 31 lbs
Height: 38 inches
Favorite Things:
SUPERHEROES! He is really into all the superheroes, especially Captain America.
He still loves Cars, trains, etc.
He loves soccer practice, playing baseball and soccer outside, and just being outside in general.
He also loves to help me bake, he is my little assistant.
Will has a blast at preschool. He talks about his classmates all the time, and he says his best friends at school are Aidan, Porter and Addyson.
He has grown up so much and helps around the house, loves to take care of Jack, shares all his toys, and is just a happy boy!

He has also really gotten into his money/piggy bank/allowance. He gets such a kick out of putting coins in his bank. He takes some of his money to the chapel offering at preschool on Thursdays.
He LOVES baseball! I know this makes his daddy happy :)
We recently started this responsibility chart for Will (thanks Aunt Sissy). He has been doing really well so far and has had great weeks. At the end of the week he gets some money depending on how his week went and how many magnets he got.
Here he is trying out the Wolverine mask at Target....silly boy.
He loves arts and crafts, and sometimes gets a little messy!
Happy 3 and a half years Will! We love you so much! You make us proud every single day!

Mike Turns 32

We had a fun, busy weekend celebrating Mike's 32nd Birthday! His birthday was Saturday, so Saturday morning I made birthday breakfast and we had special birthday cupcakes....YUM!
We also sang and opened gifts in the morning before we headed to soccer.

Will LOVES soccer! His regular coach was back this week and he loved it.

After soccer, we headed to Stella's 2nd birthday party! The boys had a blast. Will got to play with his buddy Carter, and Jack got to play with his friends in the bounce house.
I had to post a picture of the cupcakes that Sara made......the party was a Sesame Street theme and was so adorable. These cupcakes were amazing!
She also made these Elmo and Cookie Monster cake pops......so so cute.
Saturday night, Mike and I went out to dinner and a movie.....something we haven't gotten to do in months. Such a nice treat!
On Sunday, Mike's family came over to celebrate his birthday. Will helped me decorate this lemon cake we made for Mike, yummy!
Mason and Will helped blow out the candles......
The cousins played outside with all the toys and bounced in the bounce house.

Such a fun weekend! Happy Birthday to Michael!!!

Christmas Day 2011

We had a nice, relaxing Christmas Day. We all woke up, opened all our gifts, then had a yummy Christmas brunch. John and Kara came over for brunch and the boys loved playing with them! The boys got to hang out and play with all their new toys while we cooked, etc. Then in the afternoon we went over to Gran and Coach's house for more Christmas fun, and my parents went to my aunt's house for Christmas dinner while we were gone.

Will is checking out his Santa gifts
He is very excited!
Reading his letter from Santa
Emma is helping with the gifts
So so cute
Jack is deciding on what to play with first.....
This is one of Will's favorite new toys......Ramone's Color Changer
He just figured out he got a bounce house!!
Happy boys!!
