Serenity Now!

Ok, some days I have a complete handle on you 3 monkies and other days - NOT SO MUCH!!! Last week was insane. Liam had something called Roseola - which I had never even heard of (so much for keeping up with reading baby books to inform me of all these lovely illnesses). Started off with a high fever for 2 days and was topped off by a HORRIBLE mood and a rash all over the stomach. Not fun for my poor little baby and not for poor me either. These are the days where I need another arm to keep up with you guys as Liam wanted to be held 24/7 which is difficult running after the others.

Yesterday we were off for a hair cutting adventure - all three in the triple jogger stroller to Super Cuts. Let's just say Super Cuts was thrilled to see us leave. Not that you guys aren't adorable but especially Jared, you hate getting your hair cut. Oh well, it was an hour of hell but it's over and done with and you all look so adorable (Nolan, from the front your cut is perfect and handsome just don't look too close in the back. You made a quick move and half of the back of your head has hair, the other side - not as much).

Once we were back home I decided it was nap time. Liam took off on me mid change since he's the fastest crawler in the land and bolted behind the chair where he took a big poop on the floor. Before I could blink and eye, Marley then peed all over the mess. Nasty. Just nasty! All cleaned up - you were up in your beds. I turn around and see Nolan jumping in his crib with no diaper on looking so happy to be naked. Little majician, I have no idea how you got if off so quick!!

Jared, you called Uncle Jay today and sang "Happy Birthday"...you were so excited to leave him a birthday message and I can't believe how big you are that you now know all the words (or most of them). It's so cute -- you sing "happy bert-day".

You make my craziness so much fun...love you boys...!

House full of Monkeys!

Our house sounds like a zoo at all times...three little monkeys live here. Nolan is chatting up a storm, he's like a little parrot. He's too funny. I underestimate him cause Jared didn't talk for a while but Nolan is always copying what we say - a word here or there but he is really saying words. Crazy to me!!! He and Liam are also using their sign language now to say "more" and "all done". Liam isn't forming words yet but he can SCREAM loader than anyone. Screams when he's excited, sad, angry or just when he needs to be heard. He is the middle child after all - maybe he already feels the need to be heard:) Its the loadest pitch scream too -- I try not to laugh and encourage it but it is funny cause I can't believe such a big sound could come out of such a little tiny boy. As for my Mr. Jared - he speach has come leaps and bounds. Love love love it. He's really understanding things these days and I just couldn't be proader. If we tell him we have a birthday party to got to - he'll chat about it all day (AND NIGHT...he has complete conversations at 2AM, goes on and on and on - talking about his day). As Jared calls them "bert-day party". He is still so expresive with his hands when he's filling us in on his days...waves hands around with such conviction like a true Italian:)

They are busy boys, loud as you can imagine and I love them beyond words!
