Congrats Kisses!

Congrats to Lindsey or Kisses as Steele calls her. I can't believe she graduated high school this year. I remember when she was an itty bitty toddler, an annoying middle schooler, and a very trustworthy, smart, and sensible teenager as she is now. She is soooo good with Steele and Kase and all children in general! She is not always easy to find because as all almost 18 year olds do she doesn't like to stay at home, but she can always be counted on if she tells me she will do something for me! I love her so much and wish her a great, fun summer and a wonderful college experience at ICC next year. We love you Kisses!!

Chunky Monkey

I thought ya'll might need to see this cute, sweet little chunky 2 1/2 month old since the last two posts have been all about the big one. He is laughing, talking, and cooing ALL the time now. He doesn't like to nap during the day, but still loves him some bottle, he is up to 7 ounces at a time. I think he is going to love him some rice cereal here shortly. He weighed in at 15 lbs. 8 ozs. Friday when I took him in because he was running fever. He had gained one ounce for every day since we had last been there.

Steele Slips and Slides

"Swip and Swidin"

He loves his new "swip and swide" and has been found outside stripped down to bare booty playing on his slip and slide! He was so cold this day but would not stop.

Steele is 3!!!

I can't believe my baby boy turned 3 on Tuesday. We had his birthday party Sunday at our house, he had a Scooby Doo party. He had so much fun playing with his friends and with his new presents. He got a new playhouse and a sand/water table. He wants to be outside all the time now! He also got some books and some monster trucks, of course. He was so funny opening presents and he had to blow out the candles twice!

On his birthday we had to take Kase to the doctor in Tupelo. When we got done, Gram and I took him to Ballard Park to feed the ducks and play. He loved feeding the ducks, he had so much fun. Then that night John Paul and I took him to Chuck E. Cheese in Tupelo. Jason and Carly came with us and we had a good time. His favorite game was Skee Ball. He had a great birthday!

His 1st Birthday

2nd Birthday

3rd Birthday

At 3 Steele is outgoing and silly. He is very energetic and pretty easily entertained. He loves cars, monster trucks, and animals. He loves to watch movies and cartoons. He loves his Baby Kase but won't leave him alone for one minute. He knows all of his letters and numbers to 15. He is going to 3 year old Kindergarten in August at our church, he is so excited. He is a very loving boy but also WILD!!

Kase's 2 month stats

We went for Kase's 2 month check up on Tuesday. He is a BIG boy. He weighed in at 14 lbs. 14 oz. and was 25 1/4 inches long. He is in the top percentile for his age. I looked back in Steele's baby book to compare and he is the size Steele was at 4 months old. Actually 3 ozs. more than Steele was at 4 months. WOW!

He is starting to try to roll over from his back to his tummy. He still loves lights and ceiling fans. He also loves to swing in his swing outside while Steele plays. He is such a good baby!

Happiness is...

Boys will be boys...

Well, we have had our first real trip to the Emergency Room with Steele. He was playing at the shop with Pop when he pulled a 60 lb. vice onto himself. It knicked his head and scratched his arm. He had to have one stitch in his head full of hair. When Pop brought him up to the house, all I could see was the blood all in his hair, all over Pop's shirt, and couldn't really find the cut because of all his hair. He was really pretty good until we had to wrap him up in the sheet. He started crying huge alligator tears. He was screaming "Momma, let go of my legs. I love you." and "Get all your hands off of me!". He also had to have a cat scan, but he did great for that. I feel that as much as he gets into, this will probably not be the last time we are there. You can't even tell it now and it hasn't slowed him down a bit!
