Defender of My Honor

Well, you wouldn't know it just by looking- but my son is a force to be reckoned with. A thunderbolt of toughness- if you will. The other night while Joey and I were having our playful banter/verbal sparring (which we so thoroughly enjoy), Reilly happened to hear Joey say something to the effect of "Mommy is so silly!" Upon hearing this, a change came over the sweet face of the boy I adore. He assumed what I can only imagine is his "kung fu ready position". He turned to his Daddy, and with all seriousness, gritted his teeth and stated "Don't call my Mommy silly- I will ROUGH-HOUSE you!" After the shock wore off, knowing that fisticuffs may ensue- I tried to explain that Daddy & I were just teasing each other. But Reilly would allow none of this. It was so sweet, and terrifying, all at the same time. If I could only capture a picture of that moment... my HERO! :)

Bumbo

Why didn't anyone tell me that these Bumbo things were so awesome? Not only for babies, but for 4 1/2 year olds as well! ;)

Avery's Nursery

A little embarassed to admit it, but we just recently finished Avery's Nursery. Yes- she is 3 1/2 months old. Oh well. Here it is... and we love it!! :)

14 Pounds of Precious and 50 Pounds of Fun

Well... the scales have spoken, and I am in absolute shock that my sweet little boy (who incidentally weighed 6 pounds when he was born) now weighs 50 POUNDS!!!! Wow. I never gave him permission to grow this fast. I'm so not happy with this example he is setting for his little sister, who is already 14 pounds!!! STOP GROWING!!! Okay... at least slow down please!

Avery is 3 Months Old!!

Weighing in at 14 pounds 3 ounces, and 24 inches long, our sweet baby girl is 3 months old today! In some ways, it seems like she was born just a minute ago- but it also feels like much longer. Odd how that happens.
