2 months

We had a visit with the Dr. for Grey's 2 month check.  So here are the stats:

height: 24.5" long

weight: 13 lb. 14oz.

Grey love to stand on my lap and is super strong.  He is smiling and laughing tons.  He has discovered that he really likes to sleep on his tummy.  I have resorted to that for naps, but still have him side sleeping at night.  He is sleeping a 6 hour stretch at night.  Usually I put him down at 9:30-10:00 and he is sleeping until about 3-4.  He is up for a quick snack and then back to sleep until 7.  He likes to be on a schedule and if he had it his way, we would never leave the house, because I can put him down for a nap as soon as he is ready.  He is getting less crabby and is usually only fussy when he is tired or hungry.  His eyes are still a grayish blue.  If I had to break him down by parts, he is a good mixture of the two boys, but looks more like Co.  He likes his binky when he is tired.  He is still a mama's boy.  He loves his face covered when he is falling asleep, which I would think was weird, but Cohen liked that too.  He loves his bath, but still cries while getting dressed.  His skin looks way better, not perfect, but much better.  He has super sensitive skin and so I have to use Dreft and Bounce free, and Cetaphil to bathe him in.  He is a sweet, sweet boy and we love him dearly.  

Dear Mr. Toad, I am sorry...

So Landon found a frog in the back yard the other day.  Cohen was napping and he was instructed to play alone, because there are very few quiet moments around here.  After playing outside a while, he came in extremely excited because he found the frog he had put in the back yard a week or so ago.  I have no idea if it was really the same frog, but he was excited.  He went straight for the tupperware drawer and caught him all by himself.  A while later he came in and said that he had hurt the frog.  He wanted to open the container to take a closer look and when the frog jumped it scared him and he snapped the lid back on and caught part of the frog in the act.  The frog was alive, I checked, but he wasn't moving, either because he was hurt or scared to death.  I went back inside, and about 10 minutes later Landon asked if he could play in the hose.  He was sure the frog would be back to his usual jumpy self if he gave him a little water.  I explained that being sprayed with the hose wasn't nice so he told me he would stop.  I went inside and decided to get the camera and snap a few photos.  This is what I saw when I came out.  He thought that the frog wanted to have a little fun, so he made him a slip and slide and took him for a ride.  The poor frog was alive, but just barely.  It was so sad.  I tried to explain to Landon that he had killed the frog and he was being really mean, but he was sure the frog was fine because he could see him breathing.  He promised to leave him alone, but apparently he didn't.  When he realized he was really dead, he dissected the frog.  I feel horrible, but I am sure he didn't understand.  This both creeped me out and worried me. Is it normal for a kid to feel no remorse for the poor frog?  I am terribly sorry Mr. Toad for not stopping him much, much earlier.  I didn't use the mean voice and although I knew you were pretty much dead, I didn't mean for you to become a science project.   

Where is summer?

It is June.  It is cold.  Ok, so maybe not cold, but with the wind and it being 60 degrees, it feels cold to this Arizona girl.  Or maybe it is that I have a cold.  Yuck!  Wish it was warm, I was laying on the beach watching my boys play in the sand, and wish I didn't have a cold!  Guess it is better than 110 degrees!

Giants Game

We have been so adventurous since we have had Grey.  I would never have done this with one or two, but with three, no problem.  I must be getting crazier.  Saturday afternoon, after our last t-ball game and team party, we packed up and headed to San Francisco.  We stayed the night there and took the boys to a Giants game.  I think Landon has been to a baseball game in Arizona, but this was Cohens' first game.  They had a ton of fun, especially since the tickets are 8 rows up behind home plate.  The boys were super tired because they didn't nap on Saturday, but they still had fun.  They got ice cream sandwitches, popcorn, and corndogs.  I had to hold Grey most of the game and I think my back was numb from the pain, but it was a great family weekend.  I love doing new things with my boys.  

T-Ball

T-ball season has come and gone.  I was horrible about bringing my camera to the games.  I did take pictures at one game.  It happened to be the game that I forgot Landons' cleats, so yes, he is wearing slip on converse.  The games were fun.  Cohen always had to bring his bike or scooter, we had to get treats from the snack bar, and try to pay attention long enough to not miss Landon doing something great.  They improved so much.  By the end of the season, they knew where to throw the ball when the fielded it, most of the time.  They could hit the ball off the pitch instead of the tee, and they seemed to do less digging in the dirt and more paying attention.  It wasn't my favorite sport, since there is so much time that not much action is happening, but Steve wants to keep doing it.  If I am in charge with 3 kids, all by myself, like I was a ton this season that may not be the case!

Memorial Day in Monterey

We are so lucky to live so close to so many cool places.  We decided to take our first adventure to Monterey/Carmel for Memorial Day weekend.  It is about 3 hours from our house and the boys all did amazing in the car on the way there and home.  We met my mom and dad there and my Dad and Steve golfed ( I think it was Spyglass they golfed at).  It was a really cold weekend down there, so I was really bummed we didn't get to go to the beach, but we did go to the Monterey Bay Aquarium, did the 17 mile drive in Pebble beach, cruised the shops in Carmel and ate at some fun places.  I am glad my mom was there to help.  We have the most fun with her when we are away from home and she can actually relax a little.  It was a little crazy with 3 kids in one hotel room, but all in all we had a good time.  

Happy Anniversary to us!

It is hard to believe that 11 years has past since I married this amazing man.  We had our anniversary on the 29th of May.  We didn't do anything too fun, but we did get to go out for a quick dinner and came home and watched a movie.  He has always taken such amazing care of me and I am grateful that we have each other.  He is truly my best friend.
