OUR BIG BOY IS 2 MONTHS...

Rece is getting so big- literally.  My "little boy" is already two months old, but is the size of most 4 month olds.  He is getting quite the personality, smiling and talking all the time to anyone that will listen to him.  He cannot get enough of his favorite friend...the fan!  I swear that he would stare at it for hours.

His brothers love him a ton!  KJ wants to talk with him anytime his eyes are open and Lance is a big helper when Rece needs anything- a diaper, a toy, a baby wipe- you name it.  I never thought I could love one baby, let alone three, as much as I do.  They are SO much work, but my boys are amazing.

VISITING OUR ANIMAL FRIENDS...

The boys and I took a trip with Aunt Katrina to the Detroit Zoo to let Rece meet the animals for the first time.  KJ and Lance ran around the grounds, keeping me and their aunt very busy on an extremely hot day, but you could tell they were having a great time.

The boys really loved the prairie dogs.  Some of the smallest animals in the zoo and a rodent, and they couldn't get enough of them.

As usual, it was a ton of work to get ourselves down to the zoo, but I would like to think that they enjoyed the morning and will appreciate the pictures someday.

#3- 3 WEEKS...

Rece getting big...ger.  The little man started out larger than the others, and I don't think that trend is going to stop any time soon.  I swear that all he does is eat.  We have tried to take him outside a bit in the short amount of time he has been on the "outside", but he seems to like staying inside with his mama, eating away.  I think I will be perpetually feeding him for the next few weeks.  Ah, the joys of breastfeeding.

KJ and Lance seem to be getting used to Rece.  They have started to look for him in the mornings and want to hug and kiss him all the time.  KJ really wants him to be older so he can play with him.  He gets mad at me because I am always telling him that Rece is eating or sleeping and KJ wants to see him with his eyes open.  Soon enough, big brother.

Third time around sure is different...from the older boys, to my attitude, to sleep schedules.  Each time I have a new baby, I think of my grandma and mom.  14 and 6 children, respectively.  I couldn't do it and am blown away that they rocked so many babies.  I'll just try and enjoy my three for now :-)! 

IT'S A BOY...

GETTING SO BIG...

We took a trip to the local cider mill to get come picture taken by our favorite photographer, Chuck.  It is hard to imagine that KJ is already 4 and Lance is 2.

Of course, Lance managed to get a huge cut on his face a week before the pictures, but, thanks to the beauty of photoshop, we can fix most of that!  It is so cool to see the boys grow up and love each other more every day.  I hope that they will welcome another little man into the mix and that all three can grow up with each other and enjoy every minute.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABIES...

The boys celebrated their 2nd and 4th birthdays with friends on Saturday and had a wonderful time. When I went to check on them before I went to bed, they were both snoring in their beds. I guess that they celebrated hard.

I cannot believe that my little men are already 4 and 2 and that a new little man will be joining the fold in a couple of weeks. It is crazy to think about the amount of testosterone that will be coursing through this house- now and especially when they are teenagers.

Seriously with the pictures... the cutest things I have ever seen...
