Updates

I have so much to post on but my camera battery is charging right now so I will give you updates on us and then post pictures of all the fun things we have been up to lately.
Barry- is getting so big. It really seems like he grows an inch each day and gains a pound a day! Try holding him and you will agree with me. He loves to laugh and we can get him to do it pretty easy now. He is also starting to teeth. Or so we think, he drools constantly and the instant you put your hand by him he pulls it into his mouth and starts chomping. He sleeps pretty good through the night now and is only up once or twice in the night. He still loves to scream and loves to be held. He also is getting pretty sturdy with sitting up if you have one hand by him. Let's hope he gets that down soon cause he will love it. I think he might be ready for "big" food cause he watches us everytime we eat and will follow the food and smile.

Annie- Seems to be really tired lately. I find her laying down on the floor in random places all the time. She always asks if it is time to go to sleep and she could spend all day laying on the rocking chair if we let her. I don't know if she is just growing or if she might be a little iron deprived. I am letting Dr. Dad figure it out! She is still a ball of fire and makes us laugh all the time. She asks everyday if it is her time to go to preschool. She is going to love it!

Hallie- Turned five last Friday ( I will do a post about that) and she feels so big now. She has been so excited about kindergarten until she found out that she had to get shots for it. At first she decided to not go to kindergarten and then later decided it would be ok. She was so brave for her shots. She had to get 4. They did two at the same time and she was great until she saw the next two coming. She then lost it but was still so brave about it. I am so proud of her. She has been to the Dr.'s a lot lately and has been a great sport about it. She also decided from all her Dr.'s visits that she really wants to be a Dr. when she grows up. They need nice Dr.'s and she would be a great one!

Tyler- Still plugging along and getting so good at managing lots of stuff at the same time! He does so good to be with us whenever possible and we love it. This quarter has been a tad bit easier than last but still lots to study. He is now into the classes that they learn all about the different diseases and symptons for them. He has really been enjoying it. He is also back to doing his P90X with his awesome new weights.

Me- I am just trying to stay ahead of the rest of my family with laundry, cleaning, and having fun. I ran a 5k last weekend and loved it. I actually came in 2nd in my age group. See it does pay to be 30 cause not a lot of 30 year old like to run 5k's here in Kirksville! I made Tyler run it with me even though he hasn't been running since we left Salt Lake. We did great and I remembered how much I love running with him. He keeps me going and makes it fun. We did pretty good with a time of 27 min. I was pretty impressed with him! Anyway, I got a medal for it so if anyone wants to see it, let me know. Other than that, I am just loving life and looking forward to the awesome summer coming up.

Bravo on the 5K! I'm barely up to 3 miles and your baby is 6 months younger than mine. Thanks for the fun update on you fam.

Brad and Marci said...

Yeah for the race! It's nice to hear that you are all doing great. Cole has also decided that he'll choose going to school than not getting shots but he had a hard time saying that getting shots would be alright.
I feel like Annie, I wish I could sit on our rocking chair all day if I could, too.

Steph said...

I love the posts about each person. I am way excited to see Barry- I can't believe he will be so big when it finally happens! Annie so cute, I love finding all the fun places they sleep. I am way excited to hear about Hallie's birthday! Nice job on being so brave while getting your shots Hallie. I have to say how awesome Tyler is for studying and working so hard in school. I don't know how he does it. I think it is so amazing that you ran a 5k I really want to run one as well, but I think it will take me a while before I am ready. Getting so excited for summer! Happy Easter! Sorry for the novel!
