My Boys

The other day, Jackson was happily watching Calliou in the family room. When I came back a few minutes later, I saw this:

Still watching Calliou, but naked and eating a block of cheese. I couldn't help but laugh. Of course I was laughing on the inside, as not to encourage more nakedness cheese eating, although taking pictures doesn't help much. A couple of days ago, I decided I really need to write down some of things he says. Here are a couple:


"When I become a man, I'm going to pick you up from the temple in my blue airplane"


While I was trying to lay his blankie over him at night time, "No, I want it RUINED!" Meaning he wanted to cuddle with it in a ball.


While watching the Today show over breakfast, Jackson: "Mom, can we go visit that girl?" Me: "You mean Meredith Vierra?" Jackson: "Yeah, should we visit Meredith? Isn't that a good idea?"


Since Wyatt is turning EIGHT MONTHS tomorrow, I decided to include my favorite little baby boy.


Wyatt is such a little charmer. He adds such a lightness and joy to our house that I didn't really expect. Every time he smiles (which is quite often), I feel like he is giving me a little present.



So do you see that scratch under eye? (not a very flattering picture, but it proves the point) He is such a scratcher. I can't even count how many scratches he's given me while I'm trying to put him to sleep. I swear, his nails grow faster than the weeds in my garden! He's also a biter. He is getting his 10th, yup 10th, tooth. Since Jackson got teeth so late, he was able to understand a little bit better when I told him not to bite. This chomping on me during meal times is new to me. However, I'm trying to suck it up and hope he stops soon!



Wyatt l-o-v-e-s Jackson! Here, Wyatt is trying to wake up Jackson from a nap. He's like, "There's my brother. He should be playing with me right now!" He is quite the mover. His hybrid army crawl/real crawl is so funny. He does not let anything stop him if he sees something or someone that looks interesting!

And lastly, there's Erik. Ah Erik, he brings a different side to life that I never would have been exposed to otherwise (shooting rock chucks in the backyard perhaps?) He's been gone since early Monday moring, and is finally coming back tonight. Yeah, for sleeping in tomorrow! I've missed him a lot, and we all are so excited to see him.

One Weekend, Three Living Arraignments

So I don't have too much time to blog, but thought I would do a quick update of our moving weekend.  First of all I wanted to post this pic of Wyatt trying to drink the rain that came last week.  It was the first time it's really rained here since we came to Arizona, and it was so weird.  Hot, muggy, rain.  All packed up and ready to go.  Friday was our last night in the apt (hallelujah!) One last goodbye To avoid having to pay into the new month, Saturday and Sunday night we stayed in a hotel (it was a lot cheaper surprisingly).  Wyatt was having lots of fun jumping on the bed. So Monday morning, as I was showering, I felt like the conditioner was making my hair feel really weird.  Well, that's because I dumped a bottle of lotion on my hair . . . FYI, that doesn't work well. Monday we finally moved in!  I took these pictures after a full day of unpacking and cleaning if you can believe it.  They look really bad, but they give you a tas...

OK, so I guess the consensus of the man giving me the flowers is creepy to everyone.  I think it's one of those times you had to have been there, because he really didn't seem creepy.  In any event the flowers still look pretty in the kitchen :) Wyatt just cracks me up these days.  I think this is just the funnest age when their personality really shows its true colors.  While we were playing in the backyard I tried to get a video of him using his "worker man voice"  It is the most hilarious thing.  He loves to do things to get me (and especially Erik) to laugh. While I was taking pictures of the boys, I decided I might as well get a shot of the baby tucked away (well not so tucked apparently) at 21 weeks.  I really am feeling so good these days, as long as I get some sleep.  Now that we are back on a normal schedule that's a lot easier to do! Jackson has reached to a new stage as well of keeping himself entertained (without the TV)...

Anna loves being by the fire.  It's actually the only time she doesn't fuss if she's set down.  This girl likes to be held! Our little Sumo wrestler A little dream smile :) We finally found some good bunk beds on Craig's List.  Jackson LOVES sleeping on the top.  I'm still keeping Wyatt in his crib, because he does so well in it.  I see no point in rocking the boat when I have a newborn to give me sleep troubles already.  We'll put Wyatt in bunk bed sometime this summer. Sweet girl.  This is one of my favorite outfits that I ordered for her, because it has my favorite color: yellow :) Jackson always wants to hold her.  Last night we had this sweet conversation: Jackson: "Mom, when are you going to wake up tomorrow morning?" (I've been able to sleep in while my parents have been here) Me: "I don't know Jackson it depends on how much Anna gets up during the night." Jackson: "Oh, I hope she doesn't need to nurse tonight...
