My Little Smarty Pants

Drew has 100% been a verbal baby since he was born. He babbled early and formed sentences early and could name his letters and count very early. We always knew this one would be a smarty, but to see him achieve the A Honor Roll the entire year of 1st grade was the icing on top! This kid is such a wonderful student and has had an amazing year at school. He is so proud of how he can quickly do math and his reading has been crazy awesome lately. Aunt Whitney gave him a set of chapter books for his 7th birthday and over the past 2 months he's already read 3 of them! I love watching him soak up a good book and am so very proud of his little brains!

My Older 2 Crazies

These 2 are the best of friends and the worst of friends depending on the day. At times they'll play SO nice and he'll offer to tie her shoes for her or help her zip her jacket. But at other times they'll tattle on each other and bicker to no end! I guess that pretty much sums up siblinghood!

My Sass

I'm not sure if it's the fact that she's almost 4 or we are spending so much time with #3 but this one has been quite the sass lately. We're trying to curtail it knowing she is officially the middle child now and ensuring we give her lots of attention. We always knew she had middle child syndrome even from birth but man it's really starting to shine lately. It's hard as she's always asking for me to play with her but I feel like I'm always feeding or holding a fussy baby Will. I do try to play with her whenever physically possible though!

Drew vs Will

Can you tell who is who?

(Drew is first and Will is second) :)

Last Day of School!

School is out for my 2 big munchkins and we are ready for summer! No more alarms, lunch making or schedules! Just a few camps for Drew and Ady will stay in school Monday, Wednesday starting back up here in a few weeks. We are excited to explore our city and have fun at the splash pad as well as with friends. Our bucket list is up on the fridge and we can't wait to tackle the summer!

I think they both look a TON bigger compared to only 9 months ago!

William // 2 Month Update

So glad that we're at 2 months old and the majority of our fussy, colicky time period has come and gone! We are feeling more like ourselves lately and getting out more around the city. It's crazy busy with 3 littles but you are the perfect addition to our family.

Stats:
Weight: 14lbs 7 oz (91%)
Height: 23inches (46%)
Head: 40.1cm (81%)

Temperament: WHEW was last month rough. You were just not a happy baby when you were awake and mommy had to cut dairy and is now trying more of a paleo diet with minimal carbs as well. Although it's gotten a TON better, you still don't like being left alone and REALLY prefer to be held. You also still hate the pacifier and it takes some time to get it in your mouth! But SMILES! Tons and tons of smiles and we are loving every single one.

Sleep: MUCH better the last 5 days thanks to the Rock N Play. You just would NOT go past 4 hours in the pack n play but love the rock n play! Still nowhere near as good as your brother and sister and their 8 hours stretches but it's really not that bad to get up once a night! You're still not on a routine during the day but generally take 3-4 decent naps. Unfortunately you're in your carseat a lot due to all the activities the big kids have.

Eat: Love nursing and you're still trucking along just fine at it. It's been a HOT week though in the 100's and momma does not love nursing outside when we are both sweating! :)

Clothes: You're still squeezing into some 3 month size but is in mostly 6 month.

Diapers: Size 1 but switching to size 2 tomorrow.

Talk:  Trying SO hard to make a sound lately and I feel like we're so close!

Life is crazy busy and you're a handful sometimes but man you are a perfect little being and we are all so smitten with your little face!

So Old

Sometimes he'll still play with a toy truck and he generally still needs a stuffed animal at night but then often he'll lay down with his marbles and look like he's already 12. We butt heads a lot because we are both bull headed about things but goodness I love my first born and am so beyond proud of him.

Baseball is Over

It was a tough season for this team as they had a few really awesome players but then the rest were more just average for their ages. Drew began the season with some really heartbreaking games so we quickly got him in some private batting lessons. These seemed to help a TON as did playing catch and hitting with daddy more often. We stopped those after about a month as we only had a few games left and MAN could you see that he completely reverted back to not his best time. He also didn't practice at all those last few weeks which really played into it. It was a great lesson for him about the fact that he needed to put in hard effort if he wanted to do good so we're hoping next season is better. He does love playing though!

He also loves sunflower seeds....

Fairytale Ball

Will's gift to Ady when he was born was tickets to the Ft. Worth Fairytale Ball. We went down with a little buddy last weekend and Ady love every second. I, on the other hand, won't be back and thought the pricey tickets were a complete rip off for what it actually included. Basically they got to hug princesses and do some dances. The 'craft' was a piece of paper and crayons and the 'snack bar' was smartees and pink suckers. She loved it though so I guess that's all that matters!

#32

My sweet girl is wrapping up her first season of soccer and MAN was it cute. They got completely annihilated in some games and in others blew out the other team. Ady didn't actually make a goal this season but she did kick it quite a few times and enjoyed just running back and forth with her teammates. Hopefully next year she'll understand the importance of actually trying to get it IN the net!

And the best part? The snacks afterward of course!

Drew's Baseball Pictures

The team had a 'professional' photographer come out to snap some pictures of the boys and the team and here are the pictures. He's so studly.
