We're BACK!!!!

It has been a busy month or shall I say a busy year so far. It has been a challenge with having a 3 year old, 2 year old, and a 3 month old. Getting out of the house is also a feat that can only be managed if we start getting ready 2 hours prior to us having to leave!!! Drew has finally started sleeping through the night, although he sleeps all night, he still gets up too early for me!!! I am okay with getting up after 6am, but I don't like 5:30am but I don't want to complain, as it has been great to have a solid 6 or 7 hours of sleep! Avery has been going to preschool and learning lots & lots. We got her mid-year progress report and she is right where she should be for her age. Afton and Avery both go to their church class on Wednesday evenings. They absolutely love that. They sing, listen to bible stories, play with friends, make crafts, and have loads of fun!
Drew has been growing like a weed. He is probably 15 1/2 lbs now but it feels like 25 pounds when I have to carry him around all day! I think I finally got his pooping issue figured out but the spitting up problem is not going away. He spits up chunky stuff when he is on regular formula and just watery spit up when he is on the more expensive gentle formula. I don't like spending 25 dollars a can, but I also don't like getting puked on all day!
I took a few pictures and yes, that is a cute little flower tattoo on Drews big belly :-) The girls loved it. The picture above is Afton posing with her tattoo...and I tried over and over to get my blogging above the photos, but for whatever reason it wasn't working for me.

The little kitty next door

Today the girls went out with dad to help shovel the driveway. Unfortunately, I had to stay inside with Drew so we did not get any photos of all the fun. However, we did get a chance to get a picture of Avery with the little black kitty that lives in the "neighborhood". I say neighborhood because this little black kitty likes to get in our garage, our neighbors garage, and the neighbors across the streets garage...well basically anyone's garage/house/porch etc... I have no idea why our one neighbor even got this cat since he is NEVER home. Poor thing lives in the garage and hardly gets any contact with humans, I feel bad since he is super friendly & is desperate to be inside. I am sure we will be seeing a lot of him throughout the spring and summer along with dead birds & such.
Avery came inside to inform me that she found a black fuzzy kitty...I am waiting for her to ask if she can keep him.

gettin big

I weighed Drew the other day. He was 13.5 lbs. Although, he is probably full of poo since he hasn't went in a few days!!!! He has been having some trouble in that department. I don't understand why, since he certainly did not get that from the Thomas side of the family!!! :-)
The girls are doting on him as usual. Afton loves playing with "baby Dew". He is getting so big & strong. Before we know it, he will be rolling over & crawling. But first we need to master sleeping for more than 4 hours in a row :-)
