belly laughs

Preparing for Adam's 1st birthday is a lot more work than I thought...not just the planning, but the realization that I can't say i have a baby anymore as I have an "almost" toddler. I will say...one thing Adam has had since he was of a very young age is a belly laugh. He is constantly entertaining and laughing. We are blessed with a happy and stubborn boy. He wants to do it all his own way so walking hasn't been an issue. If he falls...he hops right up and starts going again.



I have been watching a 15 month old named Max 2 days a week while his daycare gal is on maternityleave...what a treat!!! He and Adam get a long great and he's been great to see what Adam will be doing in the months ahead. I am sad that he will be done in 2 weeks:(









A couple weekends ago we went on our first boating trip with Adam outside the womb:) Last time we were on a boat was exactly a year ago and Nate was sure he was going to make me go into labor. Adam did great! He loved the water and went with hardly any nap.






Adam taking a little nap....so fun to watch!



It's amazing how these little minds and bodies go from hardly getting it to full out moving in 2 days! Since i posted the last video Adam is walking like a champ and listening better. He does not want to eat much...and we think he may be lactose intolerant which is no good when he loves yogurt! He loves to throw things...anything. So I'm constantly trying to figure out if he is going to huck something or if he is saying "hello" into a "phone".






My sister Stacie and I ran the 2.5 mile flood run last weekend and had a blast! My nephew, Jackson graduated preschool and is headed to Kindergarten this next year:( Where has the last 5 years gone? Makes me nervous that Adam will be in Kindergarten before I know it!




Work is keeping both Scott and I busy...sometimes i wonder how people do it with more than 1. We just celebrated our 3 year anniversary and had a great time talking about how happy we are. I am blessed to work from home to balance our busy life, but wouldn't change it for the world...

Adam having fun with mommy...

The morning after Adam's bday party he was raring to go...He was finding everything funny so we had to get a video of this. I've not heard many babies who have a belly laugh like Adam...when he thinks something is funny, you know it...a lot like his dad, easily entertained.

Adam Walkin

As Scott and I try to prepare ourselves for Adam actually walking...you can't. It's so much fun! I love watching him figure things out on his own and be so brave to take those steps...although sometimes he's a little too brave. He loves doing pat-a-cake and even has his own version of the rolling and patting. Still not sure I'm ready for this 1st birthday...mentally i'm fine but every day, every month is flying by and we can't quite catch up:) Everyone tells you that the first year flies by but you don't really know what they are talking about until it happens to you. Scott and i just celebrated our 3 year wedding anniversay and our conversation was a lot on how fast time has gone by and how lucky we are to have our family and our son. He is truly the apple of our eye...and sometimes the pain in our rear:) I think he gets that from his daddy!

The life of a stay at home mom and 3 toddlers...

Tonight is a good night to post my feelings on staying at home/working at home with 3 toddlers.  It is pure chaos...and a love/hate relationship:)  this weather has just been hard on all of us...they need to run off energy and i need some sunshine and space to myself.  Staying at home has been the hardest thing i have ever done...it's constant mess, screaming, laughing, touching, diaper changing, chore doing, lecturing, hugging...and there are days when i am not at my best at it...those are the days when i wish there was someone i could bring in for 1 hour just to get my bearings.  the constant guilt that i'm not giving everyone what they need, including myself.  I honestly would not change it for anything and i have to remind myself of that. Adam will be 4 in July and is becoming a much better helper around the house.  The twins will be 2 1/2 in August.  Alli likes to do whatever Adam does (except pick up:)) so she is working on potty training an...
