What I have been doing?!?!

OH MY GOODNESS! I just looked and realized it has been a long time since I blogged. I will try to keep up better...lack of sleep and a ton of things keeps my mind fuzzy.



Weston is growing like a weed! He is now in 12 months clothes and some of them are too short. Good thing the weather is warming up...can an 8month old baby boy wear 'capris'?

Jarrek and I realized the other day orange and red are not good colors for Weston. He wore and orangish-red shirt to church the other day and everyone that saw him made a comment about his red hair. I really didn't notice until I picked him from the nursery and went "WOW! His hair looks so red!"

He has now decided to eat like a 'big' boy. He only eats table food and occasionally baby food that is mixed with yogurt or cottage cheese (college cheese as Keaton says). It is messy, but boy does he love it. When he is eating he make the cutest smile you have ever seen...he scrunches up his nose and smiles real big, squinting his eyes. Tatum use to smile just like it when she was his age.



Tatum had the flu about two weeks ago and we are slowly getting back to her 'old' self. She kept complaining of a headache and earache which we thought was just from the flu. We were wrong. She had an ear infection and sinus infection. I felt awful when the doctor told us that.

She is reading up a storm. At the doctor's office she picked up "The Cat in the Hat" and read the first few pages by herself. When she would get to a word that stumped her, we would sound it out. She read a 'first grade sight word' and she was so excited!

Tatum now has 6 (and counting) loose teeth. It seems like everyday she comes to show me another tooth that is loose. I am afraid she is going to have the dreaded 'daddy' teeth that were hoping none of the kids would get.

She too is growing like a weed. I have the fear that all my children are going to tower over me (which isn't too hard).



Keaton is such a ladies man. When I pick him up from school he is always playing with the girls and when I ask him who he was playing with he says, "Ella. She's my girlfriend." Then the next day it will be another girl.

He is starting to really get interested in learning and school stuff. When we are riding in the car, he will tell me some random fact about something he learned at school. Like, did you know that there are 3 types of penguins...the brown ones that like hot, Emperor penguins and macaroni cheese penguins? Also, did you know that bears hypernate? Or did you know that you have like millions of taste bubs on your tongue that help you know what taste good and what taste bad? These are just a few of the things Keaton has taught me in the car ride home.

Keaton put on some pj pants that he has not worn in awhile and they are now pj high waters. He thought it was pretty funny. Yesterday his teacher told me that Keaton and her were having a talk about how much he has grown. She told him that he has not only grown taller but he has also grown-up with is behavior and what he knows. Keaton told her, "Well, you do know that I am almost five."



Hopefully I will do better with my blogging and keeping everyone posted on our happenings. The kids start soccer soon so that should lend itself to some pretty amusing stories.
