Fun with Kingston

Kingston came to our house one afternoon last week. He was not feeling good but he was pretty sweet anyway. As long as we didn't get too far out of his reach! ;)

Like Zaden, he also enjoys playing with Xander's toys. He and Xander are only 9 months apart so they will have lots of fun growing up together.

Zaden has taken great interest in drawing lately.

After a few mishaps with the couch, kitchen floor and computer desk, we are working hard at enforcing the "stay at the table when you draw" rule.

Baby brother is still trying to kick the respiratory virus he's had for a week. Not that it's slowing his appetite down any-

- he weighed 10.11 lbs at the Dr on thursday! That's 11 ounces more than he was a week ago thursday!!

Zaden was in awe when he first watched his "potty movie". I got it off ebay in hopes he'd discover another use for his potty chair besides a step stool. So far, no such luck. Just lots of requests to watch the potty movie.

My little chubby cheeks.

My little heart melter. (even though at the moment, he's in his bed crying mommmmy, mommmmy......trying to get out of naptime. Mommy's heart's not melting.)

Just living our little lives.....

Well not much new is happening here. Still enjoying being at home with my babies. Last week we had our friends Brent & Julie over for pizza.














Austin & Zaden had a blast as usual, and Braden & Xander got acquainted in between screams.

Zaden is getting more used to being at home every day and I think he's starting to like it. I had a Dr's appointment today and before I left, asked if he wanted to go to Becky's today. He quickly replied "No! Mommy's!" Makes ya feel good when your kid likes being with you despite the fact you feel like all you do is correct him and overuse the word no!
Tonight Josh reminded me we'll love ourselves later for doing it now.
He still loves his baby brother, "Ander".

He's also enjoying baby brother's cool new furniture.

As for Xander, he's still hanging in there. He just goes with the flow...unless it's meal time, then he definately makes himself known! Thanks to his Spinar genes for his healthy appetite! He was 10lbs when I weighed him at home yesterday! He's already outgrown outfits that Zaden was still wearing at 3 months. He's still very confused about when he should go to sleep. He wakes up around 11pm and wants to socialize. So I socialize. There's your explanation for why I never get my blogs posted in the mornings>>

The shortest December of my life

Well I can't believe it is already the 2nd week of January! Life is moving twice as fast now that we have twice the children. ;) But it's also twice as wonderful.
