Teething biscuits

Madeline seems to be a picky eater. She will eat oatmeal and green beans very good. She will sometimes eat squash, sweet potatoes, and spinach. She absolutely will not eat any fruit or peas. Textures are a real problem for her. She gags like crazy if I try to give her a bite of a banana, a puff, avacado, bread. The only solid foods that I can get her to eat (suck on) are teething biscuits, watermelon, and apple. She does love her teething biscuits though.

 

When it gets so soggy that it starts to break, I have to take it away. 

 

This is also the reaction if she drops it and can't find it. 

I have a picture of Luc super sad at the end of a biter biscuit too. 

Evan's 3rd birthday party

 I feel kind of bad for Evan. May is always such a busy month for us. It's Mother's day, our wedding anniversary, Evan's birthday, Brian's birthday, end of preschool fesitivites, and usually we are in Alabama...this year we have family in town a lot of the month. I just didn't have the energy to have a big birthday party. He chose two of his friends, Anderson and Caleb, to invite. It was so perfect. The three of them played a lot, the older siblings played together, and the babies played a little bit.

 

I really hate character themed things...parties, clothes, toys, etc. As much as I tried to talk him out of this, he insisted on a Batman cake. It was not as much fun to make but he loved it. 

 

 

Cole really enjoyed his cake

 

Mr Freeze froze Batman and Robin. They had to shoot them free with their water guns.

Baby conversation

 

This expression cracks me up

Caleb loves babies

I think we're safe with these superheros

 

Oh these two...

 

Happy birthday sweet boy!

Evan's 3rd birthday present

For Luc's 5th birthday he begged to do the indoor skydiving. Since he did it for his birthday, Evan started counting down until his borthday so that he could do it too. He was so excited. Once he got in there he wasn't so sure about it though. He walked right in like a big kid. He looked terrified. Afterwards, we asked if he was scared and he absolutely will not admit that he was. He did say that he is not doing that again though. HA

 

 

He flew with Waz 

 

And we all flew with him 

3 years ago...

....the best little miracle entered our lives. After a long and very scary pregnancy, a loud energetic little baby was born. I cannot believe Evan is 3 years old.

 

 

 

Evan (a.k.a. Batman), you are full of energy and personality at 3 years old. You love to make people laugh...and you really do have me rolling in the floor laughing sometimes. You adore your baby sister and constantly kiss and hug her. You love to annoy Luc but he is also your best friend. You are the cutest little thing with your huge brown eyes and your mischievous little grins. I can't imagine my life without you and I am so proud to be your mommy. I love you!
