The "lap" dog!

LOL He thinks he's a lap dog! Little does he know he's almost 80lbs!!!

Me!!

So you never see much about me on this blog! Partially, b/c I am disgusted with how I look and partially b/c Justin just won't pick up a camera to save his life! LOL Anyway, I haven't had my hair done since December, right before Chandler was born, so it was due. I knew it would be a while, so the last time I went I had her put in more low lights. It grew out a LOT!! LOL Don't mind the pics...Falyn and Justin are still in training! ;)

We grew butterflies!!

Well, technically, only one lived. But it was fun! Chrissy sent the girls a butterfly kit for their birthday's. We got a little "cage" and a cup with 5 caterpillars. They crawled around for about 5 days and then hung themselves upside down and changed into crystalids. THAT was weird to see them do that!! When they started to emerge, it was overnight, and I guess the cat heard them moving around in there. So, needless to say, only one pretty lady made it. She was dainty, and we enjoyed her. I let her go on Thursday in the front yard. She fluttered around for a little while and then left. It was pretty cool. Thank you Chrissy! We enjoyed it!!

and finally!

Falyn heading off to school! It's so cool that the bus stop is our driveway, so we don't have to go far to wait for it.

A father's love...

He shows it in SO many ways, too many to count, but this one takes the cake. These are each one of their newborn footprints. He was determined to get this done, and I think it turned out a lot nicer than I imagined it.

He's doing what a 9 month old does!!

AT SEVEN MONTHS OLD!!!!!!!!!! We had Chandler's "6 month" appointment today (late b/c of stupid Tri-care), and MAN is he growing! He's 22lbs 13.75oz 28"!!!! CHUNKY MAN!! They give you a list of developmental milestones to look for at ages 6-7 and 7-8 months. He's already done EVERYTHING!! Like, "start sitting without support, roll from back to tummy, attempt to crawl"...uh!! He did all that LAST month!! LOL Why is it that my baby, the one that I want to grow up the slowest, and stay little the longest, since he is in fact our last child...gorws up SUPER SONIC!!?? I am SO very proud of him, but HATE how fast he is growing up! At this rate he'll walk at 9 months. He also got 3 shots today...mommy HATES those, but he took them like a trooper.

He's cutting tooth #2, and that sux, but he's doing better with this one that with the first one. Thankfully. He's down for the night, so I am going to bed. I'll update with some picstures of his cute little Scooby Doo band-aids tomorrow. A good friend of mine (and photographer buddy) came to Gulf Shores last week, and took this ADORABLE photo of him!! Chandler

Also, sorry no pic of Falyn getting on the bus yet this year. The first day all 3 kids were up while trying to get her ready, and we almost missed the bus! LOL Today, Chandler wouldn't let me put him down! TOMORROW!! I swear!! :)

Nite!

Updated with photos!

Someone should tell him he's not supposed to be doing this already!!!

Scary quiet around here!

YAY!!!!!!!!! School started today!!!!!! Falyn got on the bus, and I found a PreK 3 for Faith right down the street from 8-1130. I wasn't sure how she would do, but she walked right in, gave her teacher a big hug, and said "bye mommy!" Chandler is crawling around in the living room playing, and I am finding it hard to do ANYTHING!! LOL So, I may not be very productive today, but I'll get better at using my time wisely....right?? LOL

Faith, waiting for her teacher. (more pics to come)
