A WONDERFUL DAY!!!

What a wonderful day!!! Si & I spent the morning at one of my sister's visiting and playing with her twins, Finn & Grace. We had so much fun. Si was thoroughly entertained and I loved spending time with my niece and nephew...
I then spent the rest of the afternoon playing with Silas and neglecting everything I had planned to do. I tried to introduce some new toys to him but all he wanted to do is play with me. I think I am his favorite toy right now! Both Drew & Eason went through a stage just like this. I then sat on the couch and held him while he napped, truly the best thing in the world!!!!

After picking up Drew, Eason, and a friend from school, I initiated a water balloon fight in our backyard. It was so fun until 2 of the 3 children involved began to cry because Drew was not wet. I made sure that did not last for ling because the hose made its appearance in the water fight. Needless to say, no one left this water fight dry...

Here is Eason, not so happy that his big brother pelted him with several water balloons while his mother, that would be me, was laughing hysterically while video taping the whole incident.

We ended the night by cooking breakfast for dinner and hanging out together. Si just loves his brothers and when they get in arms reach he makes sure to grab on and not let go!

I AM SOOOOOO BLESSED!!!!

Baby Silas a.k.a. Stinker Pinkerton

First, here is a picture of the the boys together!
How blessed am I?


So as I promised, here are some pics of my beautiful baby Silas, better referred to as Stinker Pinkerton. If you know me at all, you know that all who are dear to me earn a nick-name. And if you knew my dad, that would all make sense. The apple does not fall far from the tree...


I just love this picture. It is Silas in his Easter outfit, which of course, coordinated with his brothers. I am sure in a year or so I will not be able to get away with the matching outfits.


Isn't a sleeping baby one of the most precious things in the world?!?! Notice the "GONK" in his mouth. That is what his pacifier is called in our house. It has had a different name with each child, but this time the credit goes to Eason. For some reason Eason pronounced some "m" words with a "g" sound. Most specifically Gonkey for Monkey and Gook for Milk. Don't ask because I have no explanation. The funniest is when Eason would say "Siwas eat booby gook" in reference to nursing. Quite humorous!!! Anyway, the "GONK" is a must in our world.


This is Silas's Mr. Magoo face. It occurred this time because for some reason he is not partial to jarred, mushed up green beans. It also might have something to do with the fact that he was sick at the time. My bad for trying veggies first. No worries people, he loves sweet potatoes and carrots, but his great love is yogurt...



Baby bathing in a bumbo! I am not sure if the bumbo was intended to be used in the bathtub, but it sure was fun. He loved splashing around in the big tub. There are definitely some creative modifications that have to be made for a baby who wants to sit up but can't yet do it on his own. Silas is growing too fast. He was officially to big for his infant carrier before he turned 6 months. Why can't they stay little longer?!?!
