Yummy!

This was the day after X-mas. He loves food, and he's such a ham. A cute little ham though.

well, we've been growing!

First, I have no new pictures right now, Sorry!
Second, I probably should be taking this time of having two free hands to clean, not type, but I'm tired.

Anyway, an update on baby Aid:
He is now 13 weeks old, and I'm still amazed.
He Sits up with very little help, makes little grunty scoots on the floor, and lifts himself up on his elbows and forearms when he's on his belly.
He is absolutly in love with ceiling fans, which is nice, cause we have them in every room but the kitchen.
Thats okay, because he has also become enthralled with booking around the kitchen in his walker.
He's wearing size 6-9 mo, and is well into size 3 diapers, the little chubbo.
He loves to walk while you hold his hands, but isn't quite sure if backwards on forwards is easier.
He is eating food, and loves it. We eat rice cereal in the morning, rice cereal and banana baby food for Lunch, and we're getting ready to add squash to the menu tommorrow, for dinner.
He also has an ounce or so of Pear juice throughout the day, mainly because he gets a kick out of holding the bottle, and he gets really confused when he gets milk from the bottle when I'm around.
He talks all darn day, gagas and googoos and gurgles and yaaaahhhhs! when he's happy.
He chuckles when we play.
He loves peek a boo.
He has a favorite book, "Where's Babys Belly Button?"
He is teething, and one of his bottom front teeth keeps popping in and out, but we have some homeopathic teething gel that works wonders for when it hurts.
He also has his own little game of "See how loud Mommy can squeek when I bite!"
He sits on a persons lap and just wont sit back like a baby anymore, so pulls himself more upright.
He takes three two-hour naps a day, one after breakfast, one after lunch, and one before dinner.
He goes to sleep between nine and ten pm and likes to sleep until 7 or so.
He is getting ready to move into his crib in bubbas room at the end on the month, so that may change.
He almost jumps out of your lap when he hears his bubba get home from school, he loves his bubba!
He spends the rest of his time eating his hands, and blowing spit bubbles.

And A Lucas Update:
He got a big boy hair cut, and now combs and gels his hair for school in the morning.
He got rid of his costumes and shoes, but he still sleeps with a purple scarf on his head some nights.
He's taken to sleeping in a box, on his bed. I don't know why. But His pillows go in the box, he lays on them, and, with feet sticking out, covers up.
He has to listen to music to sleep, but can't work his cd player yet.
He is the best reader in his class, and he reads to the other kids.
He is also great at math, and has this adding and subtracting thing down cold. But to him, its Plus and Take-Away.
He has a hearing screening at school soon.
He got new cowboy boots for x-mas, and wears them everywhere, except to school on gym days.
He is Mommy's Super-Helper, and cleans his room, makes his bed, sets the table, and helps clear it, as well as watches his baby brother for Mommy when she is just too busy right that second.
He has a dolly, named Suzie, (i.e. Love & Grow Suzie,) that is as demanding as a real baby, who calls him Mommy. But He still tells Aidan that he loves him still, and he's still his big brother.
He is 100% handsome, and everytime I look at this big giant boy, I almost cry, thinking he used to be my little baby.
He's grown up so much more over this past year it is unbelievable, and I just can't wait to see what comes next.

A little me update? There's not much to tell.
Occasionally I get depressed about never getting anything done in one shot, because Mommy is always in demand.
I am also gettin nervous about a friend of mine's birthday, because I'm supposed to leave the babys with my mom for a few hours, and I just don't know if I can yet, but I've been promising her for the last 2 years that I would go out with her for a drink when she turned 21.
I'm exausted constantly, I got drained when everyone in the house Kept getting sick, and haven't really rested since.
I'm getting scary good at Sudoku.
I have developed a love of baking, and have spent any free time I find trying new recipes, and making big, fun cakes. ( I've got a 4-layer devils food and caramel cake with caramel glaze coming up soon, can't ya feel your ass grow?)
I love Lucas going "Mommy, what's the pretty cake for?" and his eyes lighting up when I say, "Just Because, Bubba."
I've started Dieting to combat the baked goodies. I've even switched to diet sodas.
I'm going to bed now.
MUAH, everybody!
