Happy Half Birthday Molly Claire!

Molly is 6 months today! We just got back from the dr. She is doing great!

She weighs 18lbs 2.5 oz (90%)
She is 27.25 inches tall (95%)
Her head is 44 cm (90%)

She is eating baby food and loves all her veggies, but hated rice cereal. We are starting fruits today. She is rolling all over and is really close to sitting unassisted. Her two bottom teeth just popped through.





I can't believe my sweet baby girl is half way to one!

Molly is 4 months!

Molly is 4 months old already! She is now rolling belly to back and sleeping an 11 hour stretch at night!!! She is 13 pounds 5 ozs (50%), 25 inches long (95%) and her head is 41cm (50%). The doctor said she can start eating baby food at anytime now. I think we will hold off a bit longer and probably start around 5 months.



And just for good measure, here are some pictures of the boys on the rides at the Fire Department Carnival from last night.

Team in Training!

I'm doing a triathlon in August with Team in Training to benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma society. If you're interested in following my training, check out my fundraising page!

I'll be updating it frequently. Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated!

More birthday day pictures!

Reid was terrified of the sprinkler and cried every time he got wet.

Happy 4th Birthday Cole!

Friday was Cole's last day of school, so at the end of the year picnic he brought Toy Story Cupcakes.


We celebrated Cole's 4th birthday last night at Rolly Pollies. Lots of his friends from school and playgroup came to play. Cole wanted a Phineas and Ferb party, so that's what we went with!

Those pictures I promised!

I tried really hard to get Molly smiling, but she's not very generous with them and apparently I'm not that funny!

Reid is 18 months and Molly is 2 months!

That seems a bit crazy! But anyway, both babies had their well visits with the dr. and both are doing great!

Reid is 25 lbs. 6 oz (50%) and 33 inches tall (75%). His head is 49 cm (90%). The dr. wants us to have him tested for speech and language because he doesn't have many clear words. Of course, in true Reid fashion, the day after I called to schedule this appointment he starting saying all kinds of new things. So the speech pathologist will probably think I'm crazy.

Molly is 10lbs. 14oz (50%) and 23.25 inches tall (90%). Her head is 39cm (50%). She's doing well and just started smiling! I'll try to get a picture on here soon!

Picture with the Easter Bunny

Cole and Reid both got very excited when they saw the Easter Bunny at the mall today. So even though we weren't dressed for the occasion, I decided to go ahead and get a picture. Reid was yelling, "hi" and waving frantically at the bunny until we got about 5 feet away. Then he refused to go any further. I picked him up and put him on the bench and the photographer snapped this picture. 3 seconds later he lost it and started screaming!

Things are a bit crazy around here!

Juggling 3 kids hasn't been nearly as bad as I expected, but of course we have our moments. A few nights ago Brien went out for the evening, so I was left to put the trio to bed myself.

Molly making things easy on me

Most of the night went fine and then it was time for bath. I put Molly in her crib (cue the screaming) so I could bathe the boys. I turned on the bath, sent Cole into his room to undress and went with Reid to his room. I was pulling out pj's while Reid was looking at some books on the floor. I told Cole to go potty and headed to his room to get his pj's. He came running back into his bedroom laughing hysterically and saying, "Reid is in the bathroom." In a stern voice I told him to go potty and stop fooling around, it's fine if Reid is in there. I followed him back to the bathroom and find Reid sitting, fully clothed, in the filled bath tub. I burst out laughing, stripped his clothes and HUGE diaper off him and had a little talk with him about getting into the bath with his clothes on and without Mommy or Daddy. Of course he has no idea what I'm talking about!

One more quick picture of the boys cooperating while I typed this post:

Molly is 1 month old!

She is such a sweet baby. She rarely cries and is sleeping so well. Most nights she gives us 6-7 hours stretches!

She had her 1 month well visit last week. We have been living at the pediatrician's office. Between her frequent weight checks and illnesses around here. Poor girl had a bad cold and an ear infection, but is mostly better now. She weighed in at 9lbs 10 oz (75%), 22.25 inches long (95%), and her head is 37 cm (50%).
