It's been a while since I've gotten to write in my blog and I really have missed it. What a crazy week! Sean took me away for the weekend to the Hilton at Disney and we spent several days celebrating my birthday even more. Going to Disney, fun dinners together and some quality time with Asher. It was nice to sleep in until 9am! And it was great not to wash dishes, do laundry, clean, cook, discipline, etc, etc. A much needed getaway. Thank you babe!
I've also been working like CRAZY doing a cookbook for my mom's side of the family. We are having a family reunion in a couple of weeks and I asked everyone to send me their favorite family recipes and I gathered lots of photos, especially some old old ones of our anscestors. I was suppossed to send the book in a while ago but with three kids of course it took longer than I had hoped. So I finally finished it very late last night (or this morning I should say). With 4 hours of sleep last night I'm so ready for bed now. But the book is done and I'm looking forward to seeing it. Now I just have my fingers crossed that it gets here in time for the reunion next weekend! Be looking for a post with the link to view a sample of the book. I won't post that until I unveil it at the reunion so they are the first to see it.
I will also be posting a few more new posts in the next couple of days to catch up so be looking for them. I'll probably back post the date to correspond to the event.
Hummm, does this go in my mouth or on my face?
Boston helping out and loving getting to feed his baby brother. What a HUGE help he is!!!
My baby at his first rice cereal today! Can you believe it! He turned 4 months on the 14th and he's been eyeing our food like a hawk for weeks now. When I took him in for his 4 month check up on Monday the doctor said that he's ready to eat since he's got such great control of his head, follows food around, and has stopped sleeping through the night. (He had been sleeping for 13 hours a night for over 2 months!) So as much as I wanted to wait until he was 6 months old like his older brothers he just was so ready to start. And it showed when I first did it today! While me and the boys were eating dinner I let Asher try the rice cereal. And unlike Boston and Dallas that really had no interest, he went CRAZY for it! I've never seen anything like it. He would open his mouth and move his head toward me for more. And if I wasn't fast enough in getting it to his mouth he would start crying. It was so funny. I got it on video so maybe I'll figure out how to post that. He ate ALL OF IT! And that truely was amazing to me. I don't think the boys even ate 1 tablespoon let alone all 3 tablespoon (that's what they suggest you start with). So I guess that was confirmation that he really was ready. So we will see how well he sleeps tonight. It was so much fun feeding a baby that wants that food. Dallas never actually ate baby food. He refused it profusely. Doctor told us to wait until 9 months and go right to table food. Boston did enjoy it but I don't think as much as Asher did tonight! So bring on the baby food!!!
My littlest man is 4 months old now. Here's a picture with his bear for his monthly photo. He's been in 6-9 month outfits for a couple of weeks now and just started wearing size 3 diapers. He has been sleeping 13 hours a night since he was about 2 months old but he's just started waking in the middle of the night for a little snack. 
What a truely wonderful b-day I had yesterday!!! After having been woken up to breakfast in bed by Sean I got the kids dressed and we headed to Krispie Kreme. HOT & NOW!!!! This was the first time taking the kids and they LOVED watching the doughnuts go down the assembly line to be made. They watched forever! I got some really cute pics that I'll post later.
Today I'm 30...hip hip hooray!
