Oh sleep how I love thee
It is a rare moment when the mom of a newborn is blessed with sleep! Such was that last night. Last night I gave AJ his bottle about 9:45ish... he gobbled it up, so I swaddled him all snug.. and he was sound asleep by 10:15ish. So off to bed we went. Little man didn't wake up until 5:30 this morning... I thought I was in heaven. And it wasn't until 6ish that we heard "mommy" "daddy" as our other little doe eyed boy had woke up and was ready for the day. Alas... it is 3:30 and its time for me to go home, so today's post will be nice and short!

Oh my aching bones!
So Adam has been so wonderful about exercising... he goes out running a couple times of week with a friend... so I thought to myself its time for me to get in shape. I mean what better way for us to teach our children the importance of exercise/ fitness and eating healthy than if we live it ourselves.
SO...... off I went to Jazzercise. I was able to recruit my friend Ashley (who recruited her mom), and there we stood in this room with about 15 other women looking like we were the most uncoordinated people in the world. When they kicked left, we kicked right. I think I laughed my way through the whole first song. I hadn't realized how uncoordinated I was. By the time I got a "routine" down the song was done and it was on to the next "routine"
As class ended one of the ladies told us to take 2 aleve and a glass of wine, well I took some tylenol, finished my water and got the baby to bed and myself in bed at about 11:30. AJ decided at about 3:30 that he would be houdini and escape his blanket and found that sucking on his fingers as loud as he could was fun (that was aparent by huge smile on his face as he enjoyed his fingers). I took him down for a bottle and as I stood to get out of bed, I think every bone in my body cried out in pain! Oh what was I thinking.
Of course the 3 of us are already trying to figure out when we are going to attend again, hopefully my body will soon be more forgiving as I go more often.
Mommy Brag time:
As for the boys... Avery just amazes his daddy and me every day, with what he is learning. He knows his colors (red, blue, orange, green, yellow, purple)... he knows his shapes Circle, Triangle (working on square), he knows his name, and his brothers name... and get this, he will now tell you where he lives (will tell you his street name). He gets soo excited when we play our little learning games with him... as we all cheer and there are high 5's all around when he gets a right answer.AJ, is growing up so fast... he is getting soo good at holding up his head, and he's now found his fingers and things they are the most wonderful thing to suck on. It's soo funny because he will get fustrated if he can't get them in his mouth. He likes the pacifier, but it always keeps popping out (he stops sucking), and that makes him mad. I got him this little outfit last week that says "its my way or the highway" and this little 2 1/2 month old things that is sooo true!
Alright... I'm done bragging for the moment, I need to go and get some work done!

My Boys
I love my boys... there are no doubt the most precious things in my life. I picked Avery up from school yesterday, the highlight of my day... they were out on the playground and when he saw me... he just comes running into my arms and gives me the biggest hug his 2 year old arms can give... sometimes I wish time stood still during those moments.
They are having splash day at school today, so Avery and I went to the grocery store after I got him to get some new swim diapers and other batteries for AJ's swing. Avery is my big helper in the store... he likes to take whatever we get and put it into the back of the cart, and then hand me everything to ring up.
We got home at the sametime that Adam did... and Avery was shocked to see his daddy there to get him.
My littlest angel was sitting with TT eating when we got home... whenever I see AJ I just want to gobble him up. You can kiss on his little cheeks and he'll just SMILE! So happy and so content. I was loving life later as Avery was in bed, and AJ just fell asleep on my shoulder... is life really any better than this.
AJ is having his baby dedication on August 19th. Rich Hurst will be doing the dedication... which is actually very meaningfull for us. You see Rich is who married Adam and Me, almost 4 years ago, then 2 years ago he was the one who did Avery's baby dedication... and now he will do AJ's... we are so very excited.
