ow just wow!  Have 3 babies they said...

Well I am here now and feeling extremely bummed I haven’t written in 9.5 months.  We are still just catching our breath.  Life is totally chaotic but totally wonderful.  We simply cannot believe how blessed we are.

Today was Williams 9 month check up:
Length: 29”
Weight: 19 lb 9 oz

He is growing like a weed, big beautiful brown eyes and just a wonderful little baby boy.  Everyone ... I mean everyone cannot get enough of Baby WillMAN!  I am barely holding on breastfeeding in the early AM, pumping now 2x at work and starting to burn through my stock of what was at one point well over 800oz!  My supply has diminished and I am okay with that.  I will try to hold on for another 2 months but really make no promises.  This boy is an army crawler cruising around at an amazing speed getting into anything and everything he can.  He can sit himself up and loves to babble.  He is patient and great at entertaining himself as long as he is free to roam and play but the second you put him in a jumper or car seat he scream bloody murder!  He loves feeding himself and drinks well from a bottle or soppy cup!

Next up...my mini me Leela.  She has grown up so much being ‘big sister’.  She has this distinct raspy voice and she is not afraid to get a little rough and tumble with her brother.  She sleeps from 7-6:30 and will not get out of bed.  She has been potty trained since she was just over 2.  She loves going shopping, having her nails painted and wearing dresses BUT she also loves going out in the woods with Dad to cut fire wood.  She wants to go fishing with him this spring.  She starts 3K this fall!  What!?

...last but not least... Richie.  This boy is just so intelligent and knows how to strike deals!  He loves dinosaurs and playing outside.  He also loves going to the library and playing games and picking out books.  We took a trip to the Dells a couple weeks ago and I was impressed at his bravery going down slides.  We had a blast.  He knows how to steal my heart by offering a kiss ‘on the lips” which he very rarely will give out.  He is doing amazing in 3K and picks up so much when we read books. He is forever my 1st baby!

We have been staying busy focusing on paying down our equity loan from our remodel and navigate being parents.  I cannot day it enough, God has blessed us richly.  We are so thankful!  I celebrate my 34th birthday this week with a “day date”!  I cannot wait!

Well that’s all for now... I’m hoping to write more soon but make no promises:)
