We had family in town from Oklahoma for my mom's 50th...of which, I got no pictures...and we also celebrated Mother's Day...which was made awesome by Chris...he got up with Adler early in the morning and then made me donuts (my favorite) and then gave me the whole day to myself...which was basically spent lying in bed watching the 4th season of Friday Night Lights. He even took the kids to Target to pick up flowers for the grandma's and then went to their houses to drop them off...
Adler had tubes put in this past Friday because he was up to 12 ear infections in the past 5.5 months...his demeanor has gotten a bit better during the day but he's not magically sleeping through the night yet like we were hoping would happen.
Aside from those three things, I can't think of what else has gone on in the past few months...it's just too crazy here...my perfect child Adler became a lot of work in the past few months (because of the ear infections and teething, etc) so there's less time to take/edit/and blog pictures...but hopefully there'll be more time now that he's showing slight improvements over his mama neediness. =)
I'm pretty sure this daddy/daughter princess ball was sometime back in January?? This was taken right before they left...
Sometime also in January...showing off those cute little teeth!
Ash with his sister's hat,
I decided to let Adler feed himself his macaroni...which ended up landing him a spot in the bathtub...
I swear he was messier than these pictures let on...I have been feeding him ever since...
Ash in his Despicable Me goggles...
Ayris wanting in on the action...notice her lovely bruise on the forehead...the same type of "egg" bruise sent me running to the ER when she was about 16 months or so...as a first time mom, I was pretty sure the huge bump on her head that was growing by the second was going to bust open and explode all over the place...luckily, it's not as scary the second time it happens =) On top of that, she seems a little less breakable at almost 5.5.
Sophie taking advantage of the diaper basket before I had a chance to put more in...
Chris wanted this picture taken of Adler with his cane because Adler is obsessed with it...I still think Adler looks like a mini stripper about to throw his leg up on the pole...
This was taken almost 6 weeks ago when Adler finally started walking around 10.5 months. He has been our earliest learner as far as walking is concerned...he started around 10 months and had pretty much stopped crawling a little after the 10.5 month mark...
On our walk to the park...looking at Daddy...
This was the view in front of us...Ayris pulling Asher in the wagon...I thought this was pretty funny...Ayris doing all of the work and Asher just chillin...
Adler's first time in the swing!
I think Ayris looks crazy grown up in this picture...I can't believe we've managed to grow a child for almost 6 years now...and that Ash is coming up on 4. The weird thing is that I see these children aging/growing before my eyes...but I don't feel as though I'm moving forward in age...mentally, I'm still the same. My body, on the other hand is starting to slack in it's fat burning obligations which is requiring more work on my part than what I'm willing to put in...I found myself in a one hour aerobics class last week that left me feeling like the baby I'm growing should really count for more than just 300 additional calories burned for me...he/she is younger afterall, and far more fit than myself at only 20 weeks of gestational age I'm sure...=)
The kids, after being cocooned by their father...
Ayris has been taking my camera in the car in hopes of catching the baby geese out and about...she hasn't gotten any steller baby pictures but these clouds were pretty good...considering the sky hasn't been that awesome until recently.
Not sure what Adler was concentrating on here but I love the little tongue hanging out...
Adler sporting his peacock style hairdo one morning...I am STILL in love with this kids hair...once it starts getting too long though, the back oomph starts to lose it's luster so I've already taken him in for two haircuts...the stylist says he has like 3 collics (sp) back there? He might not appreciate it when he's older but lots of women swoon for his hair...he got 3 compliments alone on the day of his surgery =)
Just being my cute little man in his cute little chair...
I wanted to throw this in because it's one of few that I have of him not smiling widely...he actually looks kind of annoyed for some reason...
Happy to be outside for an off nice day...
We celebrated Adler's 1 year birthday party yesterday since we'll be in Florida this weekend...this was him on that day...riding high on Daddy's shoulders...borrowing his sunglasses...
Not sure what's going on with Daddy here but I liked his expression...
Seriously one of the cutest little boys you've ever seen right?
This was just a goofy looking picture to me...with the lack of hair showing and the ears pushed out...
Trying to get a shot of the cake before Adler dug in...
A little hesitation at first...Adler is cautious with what he eats...anytime I stick something up to his mouth, he'll crane his head back to look at it first...not sure if he trusts me or what??? Like I'd give him something unfit =)
It's definitely getting better...
Cake ended shortly after this picture was taken...he started throwing it on the floor!
And all the icing made his face break out...
One of my favorite pics of the day...RJ and Adler.
I'll be back on Wednesday with the final gender update...of which, I just put a gender poll at the top of my blog page...go vote...it's just a click...Asher guesses girl...Ayris guesses boy...so it's 50/50 as of now...seriously, go click on it...even those of you who get the blog through email...just go to the website =) Otherwise, I'll make ya'll wait until we get back from Florida for the results =) Cuz I'm evil like that.
