Sick days all around

 
Sick days all around over here!! Started with me, then Nolan, then Brayden!!! We are all on the mend and ready to get back into action!!! Nolan just had a fever really no other signs of anything except being a little grouchy, which has grown to be normal since he won't crawl!! Brayden had croup, and an ear infection with a fever!! Poor kiddos are doing better and that is what counts!! Luckily we still got to enjoy the warm weather a little!!!
Brayden had a soccer game and he was such a little go getter!! He scored 2 goals right in the beginning of the game, the look on his face was awesome!! He was so proud of himself!!! He also had 5 days in a row of green, no reds for a whole week!! Ofcourse we celebrated that accomplishment!!! We also switched after school programs for him and he is a much happier kid when he gets to see his daycare friends!! His words were "I sure do have the life," after the first day!! We also just found out that his best friend William is going to start going there and now Kindergarten just got that much better!!!! Happy kiddo over here!!!!
Nolan is trying to hard to move, he goes backwards goes from sitting to laying easily, but just can't get his arms and butt off the floor at the same time!!! We let him try as much as we can but he gets so mad!!! I hate hearing him upset and I just can't watch it happen!! It is hard at daycare because I do not let him cry at home so he doesn't want it there either!! He is getting on a lesser nap schedule finally down to two good naps a day and maybe a little cat nap in the evening, then he sleeps about 9 hours through the night!!! I won't complain!! He found his new favorite toy car that he can ride in the last week and he loves it!! He will go on a walk for as long as you continue to walk!!  Well here are a few pictures from the past week, hope you enjoy!!

I take too many pictures

I take a ton of pictures of the kids and since I don't print them out, and this is my pretend baby book here are a bunch!! Brayden likes to do everything that Nolan does if you can't tell even if it take a bath in the sink!!!
 



These are some of the most precious little ones I know!!! I can't get enough of them all!! We always have so much when we all get together!! We are very lucky to have lots of friends with little ones around the same age!!!

 Brayden had his first playdate at a friends house this week after school!!! He didn't miss us a bit and had tons of fun with his best friend William!!!












 Corn fest!!! Its always fun and even more fun with you meet up with some friends!!! I can't believe how much fun Brayden can have at a carnival!!!

Brayden earned ice cream at dinner after his first week at school!! He couldn't believe daddy said yes!!! He was one happy boy!! 

Nolan 9 month STATS

Nolan just went to his 9 month check up, and his stats are in!!! He is advancing into the higher percentiles quickly and getting so big!!! His latest STATS are:
21 pounds 7 ounces= 75th percentile
29 inches long= 75th percentile
He is doing great with everything, but is getting very  frustrated that he can not crawl!! He wants to move so bad and just hasn't gotten it yet!! He becomes quite a bear about it too!!! He will move when he is ready is all I can think!!!
At 9 months he loves to eat, anything, just give him real food!!
Toys that have lights and noise
sippy cups
bath time and water
his carseat
being held
sleeping
being outside
taking walks
his Brother
He is not talking much, has no teeth, and not crawling, we are in for it when he puts everything together and they all come at once!!!
Here are some pictures of my little guy doing all of his favorite things:












I have a Kindergartner!!!

I still don't believe I have a kindergartner, although he reminds daily!!! He is getting so big!!! The first day of kindergartner Donny and I both dropped him off, stood in line with him, and waved goodbye as he walked like a big boy into the big school with his class!! It was a rough morning for me. I went home and just waited all day to pick him up!! He was one of the first kids out of the building and I couldn't wait to cuddle him!! He had the biggest smile on his face and lots to say!!! We talked about his first day and how much he liked it!!! He has had 8 days now and loves his teacher and his class, but doesn't like his after school program!! He is the youngest one in it and it has been bad since the first day!! Yesterday Donny took him to see one at another grade school where 5 of his friends are and he was to transition to that one, so luckily it is ran by his old daycare and they will get him in ASAP!!! Hoping for a little less anxiety for me and a happy KINDERGARTNER TOO!!!! He has learned so much already in school. Donny and I are amazed every day with that he comes home knowing!! He has learned multiple songs. He loves to count, add, and sing the ABC's, he knows the months of the year, and working on the days of the week!!! All in 8 days!! He practices writing his last name every day too!! He tells us often that Kindergarten is harder than preschool but he seems to enjoy it!!! I just can't believe I am posting these pictures 5 years later!!!!
