Thursday

It's been a busy and great morning! Syd ate (woofed) her am bottle at 9:30am and then only drank 4 oz at 12:30am. She has been napping now in the pack n play for an hour this afternoon and napped there for an hour and half this morning. Lilly was entertaining her in her bouncy seat this morning blowing bubbles for her little sister!

Everyone ate good for lunch. Lilly had a grilled cheese with yogurt and juice. The babies had grilled cheese with sweet potatoes and yogurt and the big boys had pb and marsh with yogurt and fruit.

The big boys were pumped that I let them play wii for a little after lunch today (they got the black Lightning McQueen... like I know what that means???)

Zach napped from 9:30-11 this am and went back down at 2. I have no idea if the big kids are going to nap, they all seem wound up!

Lilly has been a pooping machine today (4 diaper changes, not runny just has to poop a lot I guess?)

Wednesday

Oh yucky day! We obviously were inside all morning. The boys played very well and the morning flew by. We read some new books today and did our color and number flash cards. Kobe and Zach took excellent morning naps. Mr. Oliver wasn't a happy camper and was super fussy and grabbing his mouth by 11 so I gave him some motrin with lunch. He seems better an hour later. While the little ones slept we played in the basement. They were so content I think because we weren't down there at all on Monday since we were outside all morning.

The Baldwin boys ate well. I gave Elliott a snack size (little kit kat) he called it a kitty cat (very cute!) He also had a pb sandwich with grapes and yogurt.

Oliver ate ate ate! He was so hungry today and ate everything you packed plus some grapes!

Monday

Well the beautiful weather made up for it being a monday! The kids were so good and content today! We played a little inside in the morning until I got Kobe down for a nap. Then we did color, number, and shape flash cards (Elliott knows his colors!) and read an Easter Biscuit story and talked about Easter a little.

Then we were outside until it was time to pick up Bryce from school. We played in the sand box (Oliver LOVED it but also of course had to take a few nibbles) YUCK-O! We swang, and ran around.

Picked up Bryce and had lunch. The kids watched Callio (they love him and I don't know how to spell it correctly!) while I cleaned up. Then we were back outside from 12:30-2! The boys played tag, hide and seek, scooters, trucks, ice cream shop in the play house, swings, sand box. It was a fun time!

Came inside washed hands and got cleaned up for naps. I though for sure everyone would pass out right away and they did (well excpet my oldest 2!) but now I hear Oliver screaming (he's been doing this for me lately and I forgot to mention it, I guess I thought it was from his ears last week. Anyway he wakes up like a half hour after falling asleep screaming but when I go to comfort him he gets even angrier! Both times last week he fell back to sleep, so I'm hoping he does today because he is exhausted!

friday

What a gloomy day! We had fun though and wow does Oliver love his big bro! I'm glad you decided to bring Elliott today. There was 1 point when E went down stairs to play with Bryce and Landon and Oliver was not liking that at all!

Oliver was a much happier guy today he did seem to get a bit fussy and wouldn't eat much for lunch so I gave him some motrin and fed him an hour later and he gobbled it down! I added grapes for his lunch.

We took Bryce to school today and then got some gas and made a super quick trip to the township building (where I pick up library books and dvd's) The boys were so good and Elliott and Landon got a dum dum from the lady at the library (they were thrilled!)

We played trains and did flash cards today. Elliott kept telling me, "but Miss Ashley we didn't learn today!" haha! So cute! We sang songs and counted, oh this was so much fun! I did 100 sit ups and push ups and counted out loud, it was so funny to watch the boys try to do sit ups and push ups! The babies thought it was a blast to climb all over me (this was actually the highlight of the morning!) We also read many many books. Oliver is such a smarty pants! I love that he listens and understands what I'm saying!

Very good morning, all kids down for naps by 2, hoping they sleep until at least 4, although my older 2 didn't nap (but early bed time tonight for sure!)

haha, check out my pics today! Lilly looks drunk and Bryce wasa caught picking his nose! haha

Ok so I warned Mrs. B about the whole Bella situation but forgot to ask her if he said anything, I'll try to facebook her about it! He was all about being Bryce's show n tell today! It was his star moment. mrs. K let Tristan and Landon practice being in her class for about 20 minutes today. She said they were very over whelmed and quiet but well behaved! They asked Bryce, "where did he come from?" Where do you keep him? and Why do you like his shoes?

So baby girl has been good today. Ate her full entire bottle at 9:30 and 12:45 and is sleeping nicely in the pack n play as I type. 2 poops too!

The puppy went home today at lunch and I had a house full of crying kids! They got over it fast but wow even lilly had a melt down!

Lilly and Landon were BFF's today!! Love seeing him play with someone other than Bryce! He did this yesterday with Elliott too! It's good to see him as the leader instead of the follower. They played t-ball outside while B and T stayed in and colored and played with Mudge. Then both of them got blankies inside and made tents and played ring around the rosie. Those 2 have so many similar qualities, I can see them being buddies more as they get older, and it's nice to see Lilly have a friend to play with more. I hope they keep this relationship up!

Wed

Awesome and beautiful morning! The weather is so nice out! The kids were out for almost 2 hours. Can you tell Oliver almost fell asleep in the swing?? The kids played in the sandbox, chased the dog, blew bubbles, swung, played trucks and scooters. We colored choo choo's inside and talked about colors and trains. We then played in the basement a little (Landon and Elliott were BFF;s today)

Poor Oliver I think was a little under the weather. Very clingy and fussy and at lunch his temp was just 99.5 so I gave him some motrin that will last 6 hours (hoping he gets a good nap in)

Everyone ate well today too!

Tuesday

Fun morning! Tristan is a-ok, said his ear doesn't hurt so I haven't given him any meds. It's 50 out so the kids ate lunch quickly and played outside for over an hour with the dog (they are all pooped now!) Lilly didn't want to come in she was so busy in the sand box (her pants are filthy so she has Landon's on now) The boys were so good outside and played fetch with the dog. They even cleaned up all the toys before coming in (looks better than when I clean up!)

Faith and Lilly had a play date this AM and painted and played very well.

Lilly ate a good lunch (carrot mac n cheese, cheese raviolies, yogurt and juice) Lots of carbs and cheese! haha. She barely ate any of her breakfast bar (Landon didn't touch his either) it was a new kind I wanted to try that has a ton of fiber but it was a no go!

Tristan ate well for both meals (his usual!)

Baby Syd is having a pleasant morning (slept up in the pack n play for her AM nap (an hour and a half!) don't worry I put new sheets on it!. She had 6 oz at 9:30 and again at 12:45!! Little pigger. I'm getting scared because she hasn't pooped yet today *just wet diapers! Have a feeling a blow out is in the works!

Lilly is sleeping in my bed, Tristan is down in the basement and I have Bryce playing with Kobe until his afternoon nap time and Landon is in his room. The dog is passed out!

Mr. Kobe is doing great with no nursing today! Hurray!
