The challenge begins, I am committed.

Ok, so a month ago, or more I'm sure, my friend Sarah put a challenge out to do photo a day. Along with that some of the girls thought they'd try to blog or blog more often. Anyway I said then that I was in and would join in on the fun but haven't done it yet. Argh. One of those things I say I'll do but don't make the time for it. So here we go. I'm in. I'm committed.

I'm going to babble about random crap that won't be all that interesting. But, it will be a great place to keep up with the boys and I. And by the boys I mean all three, Jimmy, J and Willie. I'm sure I'll go on and on and on about the babies but it'll be ok. Jimmy will be relieved I'm sure.

Today J is 2 years, 3 months, 2 weeks and 2 days old. He rocks my world. He weighed in at a not so whopping 27.5 pounds last week at the dr and is 34.5" tall. Perfect. He is smart and funny. He is witty and loving. He gives the best hugs and will give them to you out of the blue. He has the most brilliant smile I've seen. His eyes sparkle every second they are open. He is starting to sing and has the sweetest sounding voice I've heard carry a tune. when he finishes his song he claps for himself and then says "thank you, thank you" with his hands in the air. He loves his new thomas tshirt from Aunt Patsy. Keeps saying "Mama, J's choo choo shirt. all aboard." At least 500 times a day he says "mama?" i say "ya babe" he says "hi" and I say "hi babe" and this goes on and on, every quiet moment of the day. Last week we had his appt with Dr. Ramos. For a week or more before the appt. we kept telling him he was going to the dr. when he was at the dr. he should talk to him lots and tell him all kinds of words. we told him it'd be neat if he'd jump and run and open his mouth really wide when the dr said. he just kept saying "j doctor' and would say mama dr., baby dr., j dr. no daddy dr. daddy work. anyway, Monday comes and we're off. We get there and wouldn't you know it they'd cancelled the appt. and couldn't find our change of address paper. We'd have to go again the next day. J was so confused. Next day we go. Dr comes into the room and J says Hi Dr. J Dr. and out comes the random babble. Non stop. It went something like this:

Daddy work. Daddy big truck. J pancakes. mommy pancakes. daddy no pancakes, daddy eggs. baby boobbed. j boob bed. maryjane food. maryjane cookies. j maryjane food in bowl. baby in j room. baby in baby bed j's room. j luv baby. mommy luv baby. mommy love j. mommy love daddy. daddy work big truck. grandma j house not grampa. no grampa. grampa baseball. grampa no condo. daddy luv mommy. car vroom. j's van. j's house. lets go smoltzie. go braves go. football!!!!!!! touch down!!!!! j eat banana. j loves baby. woo hoo. lets go mommy lets go. c'mon baby. lets go baby! jump. bounce. yummy good.

you get the point. dr. R and I were both in stitches laughing at how funny j was being. so sweet.

Willie. willie is 7 months and 1 week old. He is such a little ham. He keeps me movin'! He is cruising the furniture like it is nobodys business. pulling up like a champ and even just the last couple of days he can get himself back to the floor from standing up. way less falling and crying, ha! ha! he crawls so fast and is so funny, his little butt wiggles like mad. He gets his little body into the perfect crawling position and is off like a mad man. J chases after him laughing saying "mama, j's baby butt funny". Willie also loves it when J plays with him or even just looks his way. He is in love with his big brother. thinks he is so funny and gets so excited when J says "C'mon baby

well, the willie is up so i'll have to come back later, or more likely, tomorrow.
night night.
