My daughter's name will be Madison (Madi) Rose and she is due March 1st, 2011. We are all so excited to finally be adding a lil girl to our family.
Madison is a name my dad came up with for another daughter (which my parents didn't have) and Rose was the name my mom liked with it (she had an Aunt Rose, who died before I was born, that she was close with).
I have loved this name for a girl since I was about 5 or 6 years old and luckily Timmy loves it too.

2.5 years old!!!
Max is now 2.5 years old, oh wow I so can't believe my lil man is already half way to 3 years old.
He is loving Kindergarten and is learning so much. He can now read level 4 books with help, and his spelling and writing, and math have improved greatly since starting Kindergarten.
He has a lil girlfriend now, she is 3 years older than him (as she is 5.5 years old and in his Kindergarten class), her name is Abigail and they are adorable together.
Before it became too cold out Max had taught Joey all the agility tricks and they started working on getting faster and faster, and they were doing very good with it, but now they are going to wait until the winter has past to continue with more agility training. I am going to buy them more agility training stuff once spring gets here.
Max is still my tall, skinny boy. He is 38 pounds and 43.5 inches. He is the average weight of a 4.5 year old boy, but the average height of a 5 year old boy. He is size 5 clothes now, which fit him pretty well height wize, but are a bit big on him weight wise.

1 year old!!!
Colt and Liam are now a year old, as of 3 days ago, I so can't believe my lil twins are already 12 months old, it's so amazing.
Colt can now walk really well (he has been walking well since 10 months old), and he can run pretty well now too. He can also walk up and down the stairs, fairly well, while holding onto the railing. He can now say about 40 words and can say 3 two word phrases.
Liam can cruise along the furniture now, but does it fairly slowly and cautiously. I try to get him to walk while holding onto my hands, but he refuses to do so and gets very mad at me, lol. His language has really taken off and he can say about 130 words, over 50 two word phrases and can say about 20 three word phrases.
Colt is 20 pounds and 29 inches, so he is still tiny for his age. Liam is 23 pounds and 31 inches. So he is 3 pounds heavier then Colt and 2 inches taller.
Colt is in 9 to 12 month old clothes and Liam is in 12 to 18 month old clothes and they have been in those sizes since about 11 months old.

8 months!!!!
Colt and Liam are now 8 months old today, I so can’t believe it, my baby boys are growing up so fast.
This month Colt has learned to furniture walk between 2 pieces of furniture, that are within reaching distance, and about a week after they turned 7months old, he learned to walk while someone is holding onto both of his hands, and just 2 days ago he walked while holding onto just one of my hands. He can now give hugs and kisses, and blow kisses too. And he can also stand on his own for as long as he wants to, without holding onto to anything or anyone. He also learned to say Dada a week ago, so that’s his 2nd word, :). Now I’m hoping he’ll say Mama soon, lol, :).
Liam has learned quite a bit this month, he said his first 2 words, :), he said Mama 9 days after he turned 7 months old, and he just said Dada 5 days ago. He can now belly crawl (has been able to for about 10 days now), he crept forward a bit 10 days after he turned 7 months old. Just today he sat by himself for about 5 secs before falling over. This month he also started reaching out to wanna be held, waving, clapping, holding his own bottle, responding to his name, throwing a small ball (pretty well and to someone), pointing, giving hugs and kisses, and also blowing kisses.
I started rice cereal with them a few days after they were 7 months old, and now they are having it twice day, and soon I’m going to introduce baby oatmeal, prolly within the next few days. Both didn’t know what to think about the rice cereal at first, but both love it now .
Colt is now 16 pounds and 26 inches and Liam is 18 pounds and 28 inches. Liam is still 2 pounds heavier and 2 inches taller then Colt is, that hasn’t changed this month either.
Colt is still in size 3 to 6 month old clothes and Liam is still in size 6 to 9 month old clothes.

Pregnant, :)
There will be no trying to get pregnant after Timmy and I are married, I just found out today (about an hour ago actually) that I’m 4 weeks pregnant. Timmy and I are so thrilled and Max is so excited that’ll he’ll be a big brother once again. Timmy, Max, and I are all hoping for a lil girl this time. This is def. a shock lol, as I wasn’t expecting to get pregnant yet or so easily lol, but oh well I’m so glad I am pregnant again, :).
EDIT: I was actually over 5 weeks pregnant when I found out I was pregnant, not 4 weeks, the ultrasound tech was off by about a week.

25 months old!!!!
Max is now 25 months old, has been for 2 days now, oh where oh where has the time gone, lol. He is now 35 pounds, 4 ounces and 42.25 inches. He is some size 5T stuff cuz of his height, but it’s a lil bit big on him cuz of his weight, so some of his clothes are size 4 or 4T still. He’s very hard to find clothes for, lol being tall and skinny.
Max is still trying to master reading the level 3 books but hasn’t been able to as of yet, he still needs lot’s of help with them. His math, spelling, and writing are always improving.
Max and Joey have been working hard on their agility training and Max has now taught Joey the closed tunnel, and the ring jump. So Joey can use the open tunnel straight or curved, he can jump over the bar jump no problem, he can go through the closed tunnel and he can jump through the ring jump. Now the only thing Max hasta teach Joey is the weave poles, which is the most difficult of the 5 agility training things I bought. They are both having a lot of fun with this training as I knew they would, :D.
Max has had a lot of fun riding his razor scooter and roller skating, and also learning how to stay up on the skateboard and learning to ride it, which he learned to do about 2 weeks ago, and now he can ride it, he’s basically gotten good enough stay up and push himself around on it. Although he wants to learn some skateboarding tricks that he saw some older kids doing but I told him he hasta wait til he’s a lil older.

7 months old!!!!
Colt and Liam are now 7 months old today, I so can’t believe it.
Colt has learned to do a lot this month. He learned to pull himself to his knees later on in the day he turned 6 months old. He started crawling a lil, 1 day after he was 6 months old, and a few days after that he was crawling all over the place. By 6/1/2 months old he was pulling himself to a stand, and he was also crawling upstairs, and a crawling downstairs also, he also learned to stand with help, while someone is holding onto just one of his hands, and he can stay up for quite awhile, when he wants too at least lol. He can also cruise along the furniture quite well. He also can now wave and clap, hold his own bottle, he can throw a small ball (pretty well and to someone), he’s also started responding to his name. And just yesterday he pointed at Max and said his first word (which was Max, although it sounded a bit more like Mac, lol). Max was thrilled and said “Hey mom Colt said my name, he said his first word and it was my name, that is the coolest thing ever.” It was so adorable, :D. Now that Colt is very mobile he is into everything lol, and is being very mischievous, he is such a lil trouble maker lol, my tiny lil trouble maker.
Liam hasn’t learned all that much this month, but I think that’s cuz he’s letting Colt take the spotlight for now, lol, but he did learn to roll over from back to tummy at 6 months, 2 weeks and so now he is rolling all over the place. And now that he is mobile he doesn’t like to be held as much as he used too, which is sad in a way, but i’m also glad he is learning to be a bit more independent, :D. The other day he was on his tummy and watching Colt and looking like he was thinking really hard, like hey I wonder if I can do that, and then just earlier today he was really trying to belly crawl, but hasn’t quite been able to figure it out yet, but I’m sure once he thinks about it long and hard he’ll eventually get it. Liam is def. my thinker, lol, and is more serious then Colt, and he likes to take his time before trying new things, he’s my cautious lil guy. Liam still only likes watching the Baby Einstein videos, and still doesn’t pay attention when other lil kid shows are on. He lasted 10 minutes when I stood him up about a week ago, but most of the time it’s still only about 5 or 6 minutes that he lasts before he screams to get down, lol.
Colt is now 15 pounds and 25 inches and Liam is 17 pounds and 27 inches. Liam is still 2 pounds heavier and 2 inches taller then Colt is, that hasn’t changed this month like it has for the past 4 months.
Colt is still in size 3 to 6 month old clothes, but Liam is now in size 6 to 9 month old clothes and has been since about 6/1/2 months.

Kellie and Kate
Yesterday Kellie and Kate got married (technically a civil-union, since we live in New Jersey), and I am so happy for them and so happy that New Jersey at least allows civil-unions. They are both so happy and so thrilled to be married and I think it’s so amazing that they are together and happy and are loving each other like they want too, and aren’t afraid of their feelings.
Max’s Birthday and Party
Max had so much fun on his birthday (June 3rd), Timmy, Max, and I spent a good portion of the day doing what Max wanted, without the twins. We went to Max’s fav park in the morning, ate at his fav restaurant for lunch, he picked out 2 toys he wanted at the mall and he played at the indoor playground at the mall for awhile in the afternoon, we then came home and played in the pool for an hour.
Then it was time to go to Max’s 2nd fav restaurant for dinner, and this time it was my whole family and Timmy’s family, then after it was time for presents and cake.
Max got so much stuff for his birthday, but I think his fav things are the 3 things Timmy got for him. Which are a razor scooter, a skateboard, and a pair of roller skates.
He has already mastered the razor scooter, which doesn’t surprise me since he can already ride a two wheeler without training wheels, and a scooter is easier then that.
He can stay up on the roller skates now, but can't go too fast with them yet or he'll fall down, but he's getting better at skating.
He also had a ton of fun at his birthday party with all of his friends (June 5th from 5pm to 8pm), him and his friends loved running around and climbing and they loved the train ride and the puppet show and they loved the character (a Dalmatian) coming and doing some balloon animals. They also loved the food and cake, and Max loved all the presents he got, lol he now has so many new things that we still are opening new things everyday.

2 years old!!!!
Max is now 2 years old, OH LORDY, I so can’t believe it, my lil man is such a big boy, :).
He is now 35 pounds and 42 inches. He is the average weight of a 4 year old boy and the average height of a 4.5 year old boy. He’s my tall, skinny boy, :). He is now wearing size 11 shoes, just started too, before he was in size 10.5, which he was in for 6 months (the longest he was in any shoe size so far lol). Most of the time he grew out of a shoe size within a month or two.
He is getting a bit better at reading the step 3 books, but still needs lots of help. He is now really good at adding 1 digit to 2 digits, and subtracting 2 digits from 1 digit, and he’s improving on being able to add and subtract with 2 digits added/subtracted from 2 digits, esp. with the lower numbers (from 10 to 30) he’s really good, and getting better with the numbers higher then 30. His writing and spelling are continuing to improve as always. I so can’t believe all my lil man can do at only 2 years old, it’s so amazing, :).
I got Max and Joey some dog agility stuff just like I had planned and Max is having tons of fun teaching Joey to use the equipment. I bought an open tunnel, a bar jump, a closed tunnel, a ring jump, and weave poles. I got them about 3 weeks ago, and so far Max has taught Joey to go through the open tunnel when straight and when curved as well, and he is currently teaching him to jump over the bar, and Joey can do it some of the time, but still knocks the bar over about half of the time. Once Max has taught him all 5 of the pieces then he says they are gonna go for faster and faster times, just like in a real dog agility competition. And once they’ve mastered that stuff we might get more dog agility stuff, like more jumps, an A-frame, a seesaw, etc.
Max got a razor scooter, roller skates, and a skateboard for his birthday (from his daddy), so he should have a lot of fun learning how to use those, I know he’s very excited to try them out.
Max’s birthday party is in 2 days and he is so excited about it, we have about 30 kids coming (Ranging in age from about 1.5 years to almost 9 years old), and lots of adults too, lol, not sure exactly how many as I don’t know how many of the parents will stay.

6 months old!!!!
Colt and Liam are now 6 months old today, they are growing up so fast, it seems like I just had them yesterday and now they are already a half a year old.
Colt can now belly crawl like a champ, he started belly crawling 2 days after him and Liam turned 5 months old, so he’s had almost a month to perfect it and he has lol, he’s so fast at belly crawling. He can also now sit up on his own for as long as he wants, just started that about a week ago, and he also started getting up onto his hands and knees a few days ago, so he’s getting ready for regular crawling now, lol, oh boy, then I’m really gonna be in trouble lol. A few weeks ago when I had him standing up, with me holding both of his hands (which he loves to do), he stayed standing for about a half hour, lol he wouldn’t let me sit him down cuz he was having too much fun standing up, most of the time before that he’d want to sit down after a few minutes, and about 10 minutes was the longest he’d latest before that, and know he loves standing up for awhile at a time, esp. when we are watching TV. He still loves watching Blue’s Clues, and gets so excited when it comes on. When the TV isn’t on (which it isn’t most of the time) he would rather be down on the floor belly crawling or sitting or trying to crawl the regular way. He has also now learned how to get himself into a sitting position, by first getting up onto his hands and knees and then folding his legs under and pushing himself up, it takes him a lil bit, but he can do it, he just did it today for the first time, and has done it 3 times already today.
Liam just started liking to have me stand him up for a few minutes at a time a few days after he was 5 months old, before that if I tried to stand him up he’d scream lol. He can last about 5 to 6 minutes before he wants to sit down. At about 5/1/2 months old he learned to turn himself around in a circle on his belly, and then a day later he learned to do it on his back too. He also can now roll over from tummy to back, which he just mastered 3 days ago. He’s already been trying to roll over from back to tummy as well, but hasn’t mastered that as of yet. Liam also started babbling about a week or so after they turned 5 months old, and now he’s really into having a “conversation” lol, he’ll babble something, and then I’ll say something to him (or whomever he is “talking” too) and he’ll babble back, it’s so cute. And sometimes he’ll just keep babbling like he’s telling me a story or something. And sometimes Liam and Colt will babble back and forth with each, which is really adorable. Liam has really gotten into watching the Baby Einstein videos, just a few weeks ago he really started paying attention to them. They are the only thing he really pays attention to, he doesn’t pay attention when anything else is on TV, lol.
Colt is now 14 pounds and 24.5 inches and Liam is 16 pounds and 26.5 inches. Liam is still steadily gaining more weight and height then Colt, and so he is now 2 pounds and 2 inches bigger.
Colt is in 3 to 6 months old clothes, and has been since just about when he was 5 months old. Liam has been in size 3 to 6 month old clothes since about 4 months old, and soon he’ll prolly be fitting into 6 to 9 month old clothes.
Colt can now belly crawl like a champ, he started belly crawling 2 days after him and Liam turned 5 months old, so he’s had almost a month to perfect it and he has lol, he’s so fast at belly crawling. He can also now sit up on his own for as long as he wants, just started that about a week ago, and he also started getting up onto his hands and knees a few days ago, so he’s getting ready for regular crawling now, lol, oh boy, then I’m really gonna be in trouble lol. A few weeks ago when I had him standing up, with me holding both of his hands (which he loves to do), he stayed standing for about a half hour, lol he wouldn’t let me sit him down cuz he was having too much fun standing up, most of the time before that he’d want to sit down after a few minutes, and about 10 minutes was the longest he’d latest before that, and know he loves standing up for awhile at a time, esp. when we are watching TV.

House Search: We found our dream house!!!!!!
2 days ago we finally found a house we love, it’s a Colonial Style house and it has 5 bedrooms, 3 full baths, 2 half baths, a huge open eat in kitchen, although while not exactly my style it is brand new and I can def. live with it lol. It also has a huge full finished basement, over a 1,000 square feet of it, that they call the Rec Room, and we will be using as a playroom. It has a 3 car garage, a pool and spa, and they are already gated off from the rest of the yard, and it’s a big property at 2.85 acres. And one of the best parts is that it’s less than 2 miles away from both our parents houses, and it’s also less then 2 miles away from the private school Max will be going to for Kindergarten in Sept. I am so thrilled, I so can’t wait to move in. We found the house and signed everything all yesterday and the closing date will be on June 14th, as the people who own this house already bought another and want to move on ASAP. We are hoping to be moved in by the end of the month, once closing has happened we are planning on painting most of the rooms, before we actually move in, as most of the colors aren’t our style at all.
The house was on the market for $950,000 and we offered the full asking price as there was 2 other offers on the table and we didn’t wanna miss out. And we got the house cuz the other 2 offers were below the asking price.
We found our dream house a lot quicker then either of us anticipated, and Timmy and I are so thrilled, we so can’t wait to paint and then move in

House Search: Continues
We still haven’t found a house we love, although we’ve looked at 11 houses already, but we do know more of what we want in a house. We decided we want a full finished basement to use as a playroom for the kids, a nice big open eat in kitchen, and at least a 2 car garage (3 would be better though). We hope to find one soon, as we have decided to try and be moved in before we get married in Sept.

Babysitting
I’m going to be babysitting my baby brothers Nathan and Ben, starting in Sept. so that my mom can go back to work. It’s gonna be a lot of work, but fun too, :). They will be nearly 2 years old by the time I start babysitting them. It will be 3 days a week, from 11:45pm to 3:15pm, so 3/1/2 hours a day and about 10/1/2 hours a week. My mom wants to start in slow as she doesn’t want to be away from my brothers too much, that’s why it’s only gonna be 3 afternoons a week. She works at a pre-school as an aide and so has the flexibility to say what classes she wants to help with. By next Sept. she said she might start doing full days 3 times a week, or she might do 5 afternoons a week, she hasn’t decided yet and she’s gonna see how this year goes first.

House Search: Begins
On Fri. May 7th, Timmy and I started to look for our new house, and the search is going good, but we haven’t found anything yet that we have fallen in love with. We know we want a house with at least 5 bedrooms, and at least 2 full baths, and we would also love a pool and a big yard, but besides that we aren’t sure what else we’d like lol. Oh and we want a house that is close to both of our parents houses, within 5 miles of both, but the closer the better.
Kellie
My 2nd oldest sis Kellie is also pregnant, she is 8 weeks, 4 days today, and is due on Dec. 16th, 2010. I am so excited for my sis and her fiancé Katelyn, and they are both so excited too. They know they are gonna name the baby starting with an “M” cuz there names start with “K’s” and Kate’s son’s name is Lance (Well now Kel’s son too as she legally adopted him), so they want to continue the alphabetical theme lol.
Lance will be over 5 by the time the baby is born.
Lance will be over 5 by the time the baby is born.
Rachel’s baby is a girl
My older sis Rachel’s baby is a girl (they found that out 3 weeks ago) and they have decided on naming her Lillian (Lily) Mae. Rachel is 23 weeks, 1 day pregnant today.

23 months!!!!
Max is 23 months old today, man oh man, I so can’t believe it, :D
He is now 34 pounds, 8 ounces and 41.5 inches.
He now reads the step 2 books with ease, and wants to start learning how to read the step 3 books, but as of right now they are a bit too challenging for him to read them on his own and needs a lot of help. He can now do easy addition and subtraction math problems (1 digit added to another 1 digit) with out any trouble at all, and is getting better at the harder ones (1 digit added to 2 digits, and 2 digits added to 2 digits). His writing and spelling are also improving. He is really an amazing lil boy, and I so can’t believe all the things he can do at such a young age.
He taught his dog Joey another trick just last week. He taught him how to sing and dance lol. He basically taught Joey how to howl on cue, and how to move back and forth to music, it’s so cute. Max loves teaching Joey the tricks, and cuz both Max and Joey are very smart it makes it easy for Max to teach Joey and easy for Joey to learn from Max. I’m thinking of getting some dog agility stuff so that Max can teach Joey some of those tricks, I think both Max and Joey would enjoy that immensely.
Max also learned to ride a two wheeler without training wheels on April 15th, 2010. He wanted to try it and so Timmy took the training wheels off his new bike and he kept trying for hours to ride it without the training wheels and he finally got it, both Timmy and I were so very proud of him, and he was so proud of himself too.
Max is playing soccer and t-ball, and is loving both. The soccer is a 7 week program on Saturday afternoons, and t-ball is a 6 week program on Sunday afternoons. Soccer started on April 17th and t-ball started April 18th. He is also taking swim lessons at our local YMCA for 6 months, it started on April 18th and goes til October 17th and is on Sunday’s in the later afternoon. So he is one busy lil boy, but he loves it.
ONLY 1 MONTH TIL MAX IS 2 YEARS OLD!!!!!!

5 months old!!!!
Colt and Liam are now 5 months old today, oh wow!!!
Colt can now roll over from back to front (started doing it at 18 weeks old). He is very good at rolling over both ways and will roll himself to get to where he wants to go, which is usually to get closer to where Max is playing, or to get into trouble lol. Now that he is mobile he doesn’t like staying in the swing or bouncy seat as much as he used too, but he does still like the excersaucer, although his fav thing is playing on the floor so he can roll lol. He is also trying to belly crawl (started that at 20 weeks old), and a couple days ago he actually moved himself forward a lil bit, and now he kinda creeps forward (he’ll go forward a bit, stop and then move again, and he goes very slowly, that’s why I call it creeping lol. So he’s not too far off from being able to belly crawl, I think he’ll be belly crawling within a few days, as he’s getting a bit faster at the creeping lol.
Liam can sit up well with help, and likes being sat up to look around for a few mins. at a time, then he gets mad lol and wants to be held or laid down. He can now grab and hold onto toys at least most of the time. He can also hold himself up with his arms, and he now enjoys tummy time for a whole 20 mins. or so now before he gets upset. He hasn’t yet started rolling over, or moving himself in a circle, but since he likes tummy time now I think it’ll prolly only be a few weeks or so before he starts doing more.
Colt is now 12 pounds, 8 ounces and 23.5 inches, and Liam is 14 pounds and 25 inches. So Liam is 1/1/2 pounds and 1/1/2 inches bigger than Colt, lol Liam just keeps gaining on Colt, which makes since cuz Liam eats more and is less active then Colt, :D
Colt is the average size of a 2.5 month old, so he’s tiny for his age, and even tiny for his adjusted age (which is about 4 months). Liam is the average size of a 4 month old, so he’s small for a 5 month old, but right on target for his adjusted age of 4 months.

Wedding!!!!
Timmy and I have set a wedding date for Saturday September 4th, 2010. I am so very excited and so can’t wait to marry him, :D. We are gonna keep it as small as possible, and fairly simple as well. We both don’t want a big huge fancy wedding and so it will be simple, but prolly fairly big since I have so much family. Timmy only has his parents and one uncle (he has no other family besides them, me and the boys, and now my whole big family lol), and a few friends coming, but with just my family it will be a lot of people. We are having both the wedding and reception in my parents back yard, as it’s big and just gorgeous, and has always been one of my favorite places. Besides the date, where we are gonna have it and the amount of people and knowing we want to keep it simple, we haven’t delt with anymore of the details yet, :).
Easter!!!!
It was Colt and Liam’s very first Easter this year, :). We were at my grandparents house (and there were 37 people here, all family, so it’s a bit crazy but oh so much fun). Timmy, Max, and I decided they should have their own Easter baskets, but without the candy lol since they are too young to eat it. So we picked out a few cute lil spring and summer outfits, a new bottle for each, a new pacifier for each, and few lil toys for each of them, and that’s what we put in their Easter baskets. We did a jelly bean hunt with Max, his cousins Sky, Levi, Ali, and Ryan, and his baby uncles Nathan and Ben, and his 2nd cousins Dominique and Davina. They all loved trying to find the jelly beans. We then went to church, then when we came home we let the kids find their Easter baskets and some special presents that were hidden around the house. Later in the day we had Easter Dinner and then we all watched a Winnie the Pooh Easter movie. Now all the kids are in bed and all of the Adults are either, watching TV, reading, or playing games. Sunday was great, I love spending time with my family, it’s always so much fun, :).
22 months!!!!
Max was 22 months old on April 3rd, my lil man is growing up so fast, where oh where has the time gone.
He is now 34 pounds and 41 inches. He is now average weight of boy who is 3 years, 9 months old, and the average height of boy who is 4 years, 2 months old. He’s my tall skinny, boy, :)
He is getting even better at reading the step 2 books, and now has very lil trouble reading them. He is doing more and a lil harder math problems, and his writing and spelling is getting better too.
He still loves playing Legos, doing puzzles, reading, writing, watching TV, listening to music, going to preschool, and playing board games. He is loving teaching his puppy Joey new tricks, like playing dead and more difficult tricks like that. For months now he has been teaching him the basics, liking sitting and staying, but now he’s getting more creative, and Joey is learning fast.
Max still loves playing with his younger cousin Sky, as well as his other 3 younger cousins and his baby uncles, but Sky is his fav, and he is still loving being a big brother, and loves how much Colt can do now, and can’t wait til he’s a bit older and they can really play together, and he’s hoping Liam will learn to love playing with him more as he gets older.
LESS THAN 2 MONTHS TIL MAX IS 2 YEARS OLD!!!!!!

4 months old!!!!
Colt and Liam are now 4 months old today, wow!!!!!
Colt can now turn himself around in a circle whether his on his belly or on his back (started doing that at 15 weeks, 1 day), and he can also now roll over from tummy to back (started doing that at 16 weeks, 1 day), and he loves being able to do both. He is now working on being able to roll over from back to tummy, but isn’t able to as of yet, but I don’t think it’s too far off, :).
Liam can now hold his head up very well, and is getting to like tummy time even more, he actually stayed on his tummy for a full 15 mins. yesterday, and most of the time will stay on his tummy for 7 to 10 mins. before getting upset. But as always still prefers being cuddled with me more then anything else, he’s def. still a mama’s boy, and I love it, :) I put him in the exersaucer for the first time 2 days ago, and he hated it, lol, I tried it again yesterday and today but he still hates it. He also laughed for the first time at 16 weeks old, I was smiling at him and tickling him and he let out a hearty laugh, it was adorable, before that he had only giggled a bit.
Colt is now 11 pounds and 22.5 inches, and Liam is 12 pounds and 23.5 inches. So Liam is now a pound and inch bigger than Colt, and Liam is just starting to fit into some size 3 to 6 month old clothes, but is mostly still in 0 to 3 months, but prolly won’t be for long.

Kindergarten!!!!
I have decided that I will be sending Max to Kindergarten come September, as I think it will be better for him then going to another year of preschool. He is just so beyond what his preschool class is learning, and I think he’ll be better suited for Kindergarten. He will be going to a private school (that has preschool and Kindergarten in it) 5 days a week from 8:30am to 2:30pm. He is so excited, and I am in disbelief that my lil man will be going to Kindergarten in less than 6 months (Ahhh!, lol).

15 weeks!!!!
Colt and Liam are 15 weeks old now, :)
Colt can now grab for toys and hold on to them (at least most of the time lol), he is still loving being in the exersaucer. He can now hold himself up with his arms (when he’s on his belly) and look around, he’s been doing this for a week now. And just today he let me stand him up, while I was holding him and he actually bore weight on his legs, and he seemed to love standing up too. Colt still loves tummy time (even more so now that he can hold himself up a bit), and he can hold his head up perfectly now and for as long as he wants too. Colt has also started babbling now, it now actually sounds more like he’s talking, lol, it’s so cute.
Liam is holding his head up better now, but is still somewhat wobbly. He has now started batting at toys. And he is getting to like tummy time a bit better now, and will stay for about 5 mins. on his tummy before he starts to get upset. He still prefers to be in the Moby Wrap cuddled with me then anything else though, :)
Colt is now 10 pounds and 21.5 inches, and Liam is now 10 pounds, 12 ounces and 22 inches.
Liam is now 12 ounces heavier than Colt is, but still only a half an inch taller.

1 year Anniversary and Engaged!!!
Today is mine and my boyfriend’s 1 year anniversary of starting to date and he asked me to marry him today and I of course said yes, I am so excited, I have a fiancé now, :D. We were only friends when our older son was conceived but started dating when he was 9 months old, that’s why it’s only been a year that we have been going out :D
21 months old!!!!
Max is 21 months old today, my lil man is growing up so fast.
He is now 33 pounds, 8 ounces and 40.5 inches. He’s still about the average weight of a 3/1/2 year old boy, but getting closer to the average height of a 4 year old boy.
He’s my big boy, and def. acts more the age he looks then the age he actually is. He is now reading step 2 books independently, he is also starting to learn easy math problems, and he is getting better and better at writing and spelling.
He is still loving going to pre-school, but I think he’s almost beyond what they are learning there, although he loves socializing with the kids, he’s not really learning academically anymore, and I am seriously considering sending him to Kindergarten come September, I believe he’s ready for it and I found a private school that is willingly to take him, even though he’ll only be about 27 months old by then. I have less than a month to think about whether I think it’s the right thing to do or not, cuz the class is going to fill up fast and if I want a spot then I’ll have to tell them by March 31st.
ONLY 3 MONTHS TIL MAX IS 2 YEARS OLD!!!!!!

ONLY 3 MONTHS TIL MAX IS 2 YEARS OLD!!!!!!
3 months old!!!!
Colt and Liam were 3 months old, 2 days ago, WOW I so can’t believe it!!
Colt can sit up well with help, and loves too be sat up, so he can look around. He can hold his head up very well, and is getting better and better at doing it longer and longer. I just put him in his exersaucer for the first time yesterday and he loved it, although he’s a bit too small for it, lol I just propped him up with a few blankets, and let him play. He is getting close to being able to grab toys and hold on to them, he can grab them well enough but still has a bit of trouble holding onto them, lol.
Liam is getting better about being able to hold his head up and can now do it for about 20 secs or so at a time. He giggled for the first time yesterday, I laughed at something Max had said and Liam looked up at me and giggled, it was so adorable. Liam has started cooing now, just today in fact, and did it when he was happily awake in the Moby Wrap, otherwise he stops doing it, lol.
Colt is now 9 pounds and 20.5 inches, and Liam is now 9 pounds, 8 ounces and 21 inches.
They are both still so tiny for their age, but over the last month Liam has started to grow a bit faster than Colt, which makes sense because he eats more and sleeps more than Colt does lol.

Max’s B-day Party Place and Theme!!
Over the weekend I chose the place and theme for Max’s 2nd birthday, lol, even though it’s still 3/1/2 months away I wanted to start the planning stages, cuz I’m just so excited for my lil man to be turning 2 years old.
We are having his party at a kid’s party place called Giggles, it’s a very cute place, and I’ve been there for birthday parties before and have always been impressed with them.
And the theme of the party is going to be Blues Clues, which is Max’s fav show, and he and I picked that out together, which was so much fun, :)
3 MONTHS AND 2 WEEKS TIL MAX IS 2 YEARS OLD!!!!!!

3 MONTHS AND 2 WEEKS TIL MAX IS 2 YEARS OLD!!!!!!
11 Weeks Old!!!!
Colt and Liam were 11 weeks old yesterday, they are growing up so fast.
Colt can now hold up his head really well, and is loving tummy time more and more, and is happy to stay on his tummy for the whole 15 to 20 mins. that each tummy time lasts. He has started batting at the toys on his lil play gym (which he loves playing with). 2 days ago he laughed for the first time, he had been giggling for about 2 weeks, but 2 days ago was his first hearty laugh, it was so adorable. Colt is still sleeping about 6 hours at night, and hasn’t woken up for the 2am feeding for over 2 weeks now, so I’m guessing he doesn’t need it anymore lol.
Liam learned to smile a week ago, he smiled up at me (from his Moby Wrap), it was so adorable, and since then he’s only smiled at me so far, lol, that’s my lil mama’s boy. He can now hold his head up for a few secs at a time, he still mostly hates tummy time, but will stay content for a couple of mins. usually before he starts crying.
Colt is now 8 pounds, 8 ounces and 20 inches, and Liam is now 8 pounds, 14 ounces and 20.5 inches.
Liam was always 4 ounces more than Colt, and the same height, but by 10 weeks old he was 5 ounces ahead and ¼ of an inch ahead, and now he’s 6 ounces and ½ inch ahead. Liam eats more, and sleeps more so it kind of makes since that he’s be gaining a bit more weight and height then Colt.
Colt is an active lil guy and is up for about 8 hours throughout the day, and is very alert throughout a good portion of that time, whereas Liam is a more typical baby, who sleeps a lot, lol, and is maybe awake 4 hours throughout the day, and for nearly half that time he’s only semi awake.
It’s hard to believe that in less than 2 weeks my baby boys are gonna be 3 months old. I don’t know where the time is going!!

20 MONTHS OLD!!!!
Max is 20 months old today, and he is doing great, he's just a great big brother and has a special bond with his baby bros, esp. with Colt. Colt and Max get along great, Max loves entertaining him, and esp. loves it now that Colt can giggle. Colt is fascinated with his big bro, and loves watching him being silly, and loves listening to him talk or read to him.
Max is now 33 pounds and 40 inches, which makes him the average size of a 3/1/2 year old lol, he's my big boy, and he def. takes after his daddy, :)
I can't believe how fast he's growing up, my lil man is fast becoming a big boy, and he is just so darn smart for his age, lol, sometimes too smart, but for the most part it's great cuz he's easy to reason with and he listens very well, and is so independent that it does make things easier, esp. with 2 new lil babies to take care of.
I'm so excited about him being 2 years old in 4 months, and i'm already thinking about what i want to do for his birthday party, and i'm so excited to start planning it, :)

2 MONTHS OLD!!!!
Colt and Liam were 2 months old yesterday, and they are 9 weeks old today, i so can't believe how fast time is moving, my lil babies are growing up so fast.
Colt giggled for the first time today, Max was laughing and being silly and Colt giggled at him, it was so adorable and Max was thrilled lol.
Colt is now 7 pounds, 12 ounces and 19 inches and Liam is 8 pounds and 19 inches. So in 2 months time they have each gained nearly 4 pounds in weight and 3 inches in height.
The past 2 nights Colt has skipped his 2am feeding and so now he sleeps just about 6 hours straight at night, while Liam still only sleeps about 4 hours straight and is still getting up for the 2am feeding. I don't know if Colt has given up the 2am feeding for good or not lol, but i guess only time will tell.

Timmy and I
Timmy and I have been discussing getting engaged and getting married, and we are going be getting engaged very soon, i'm not sure when exactly as he's going to surprise me with that, :), i'm so excited and i so can't wait. We then have decided that we will get married about a year after we get engaged and then we will try for more kids sometime soon after we get married, and we both hope to have a lil girl, since we already have 3 boys, :)
Timmy and i still want at least 7 kids, and possibly as many as 10.
I love Timmy so much, he is the best boyfriend that i could ever ask for, and he's an amazing father and he loves his boys very much, and they love him.
I so can't wait to really start our lives together, :)

MAX, COLT, and LIAM
Max is now nearly 20 months old, he will be on Wed. Feb. 3rd, 2010, and he is doing great, he still lovoes going to preschool, and he is making alot of new friends there.
He can now read Step 2 books, with some help, and is great at reading the step 1 books without any help, he is an amazing lil man, and so darn smart, :)
Max was 31 pounds and 38.5 inches at 18 months old.
At 19 months old he was 32 pounds and 39 inches.
Now at almost 20 months old i would guess he's gained about another pound and another inch.
He's my big boy, lol, he takes after his daddy, :)
Colt and Liam are nearly 2 months old, they will be on Mon. Feb. 1st, 2010, and they are both gaining weight at a good rate.
Colt was 4 pounds and 16 inches at birth, and at 8 weeks old he was 7 pounds, 4 ounces and 18.75 inches.
Liam was 4 pounds, 4 ounces and 16 inches at birth and at 8 weeks old he was 7 pounds, 8 ounces and 18.75 inches.
Colt learned to smile at 7 weeks, 1 day and now smiles all the time, he's a very happy and content baby, and doesn't really like being held unless he's being fed. Colt started being able to hold his head up at 7 weeks, 3 days old (for about 3 to 4 secs at a time), and since yesterday (when he was 8 weeks, 3 days old), he's been able to hold it up for about 10 secs or so at a time. And today at 8 weeks, 4 days old he started cooing, and he's having fun practicing that lol.
Liam hasn't learned to smile or coo, or hold his head up yet, but he sleeps alot more than Colt does and so doens't have as much time to practice. Liam loves being held, esp. by me, and so i got a Moby Wrap and having been wearing him, so that i can still get stuff done but he can still be close to me.
Colt loves tummy time, whereas Liam hates it lol.
Already their personalities are very different, and it will be interesting to see how their personalities progress as they get older and see if they still differ alot, which i suspect they will.
Colt and Max have a great bond, Colt adores his big brother, and Max loves both his lil bros alot, but esp. Colt cuz he can interact with him more.
I love watching my 3 wonderful little boys grow up, being a mom is the best thing in the world, :)
