Happy Spring!

Bananas are yummy :}

You Are a Banana Smoothie

You are friendly and popular without even trying to be. People just like you. You are easy to be around and never offend everyone. You're quite mild. You have a warm demeanor, and many people find you to be inviting. You are sympathetic and kind. You have a soft spot in your heart for everyone.

What Flavor Smoothie Are You?

6 months old

Can you believe Will is 6 months old already?



Don't my eyes looks SORT OF blue? or green? hazel??? Something other than brown??

Tunes

I have finally added some tunes to my blog. That is fun! I have to find some more to add... I have it on auto play but if you don't want to hear it, you can always hit the little pause button or the stop button. Enjoy!

Many thanks!

Many thanks to Stephanie for making the trek down to my house and helping me try to get my house organized! I so appreciate it and the fudge! Oh, my, is it good! I promise we will come up your way next time. The boys love all the Build a Bear stuff. Kevin and Ryan slept with some of it last night; I think Ryan slept with a Cubby Condo (Is that what it's called? Or a Bear Condo?) and Kevin slept with one of the suitcases or wardrobes (not sure what it's called). They loved having Stephanie over!! I wish I had Ed take a picture of us together! Oh, well - next time!!! Thanks a million!!!

4 Month Appointment

Will had his 4 month appointment Tuesday. He's 27 3/4 inches long making him my longest baby so far... and he weighs 15 lbs .05 ounces making him my lightest baby so far. The other boys weighed at least 2 lbs more at this point and Kevin and Ryan were over two inches shorter at this point. Eddie was a close second at 27 1/2. Anyway, I know every baby is different but they are concerned about his weight because he was close to the 90th percentile and is now in the 40th percentile. We had started solids (cereal/fruits) on 9/20 and will be stopping that so we can focus on nursing, nursing, nursing! This boy needs to gain some weight. Of course, he looks perfectly healthy and is certainly happy but they said to be careful and they want to weigh him again in 6 weeks... so we'll see how it goes.

Fall in New England

Sunday we went apple picking at George Hill Orchards in S. Lancaster, MA. We met up with our friends and had a great time! It was a beautiful day!!

A great day!

My new favorite!

Zumba! Today I tried out the Zumba class for the first time and it was so much fun! I'm looking forward to taking it again... so now my workouts consist of Body Pump, Zumba, kickboxing, the tread climber, and the eliptical trainer... There is a new class coming out called Body Attack! I think I will try that, too.

Hi everyone!

Back to School

Brothers

2 months

Back in the Game

Will turned 8 weeks on Friday the 15th so he's now officially old enough to go in the Energy Center at the gym with his big brothers. We were away last week and returned late Saturday night so yesterday was the big day! I dropped all the kids off in the Energy Center and was able to work out. I did a one hour Body Pump class followed by one hour of kickboxing. That will be my routine on Mondays and Thursdays. I will probably also take Body Pump on Saturdays and do cardio/swimming/hot tub on the other days. It's great to be back!!

Will's One Month Check Up

Today was Will's one month check up. He did really well. He weighed 11 pounds, 9.5 ounces and was 23.5 inches long. He had an ultrasound of his head last week because his fontanel is large. The the ultrasound was normal so that was good! He has another ultrasound coming up on August 4th. This one is of his hips which is standard procedure for breech babies. Will was a footling breech which means he was born foot first!! The doctor said his hips look normal... but we'll do the ultrasound anyway as a precaution. He does have a blocked tear duct in his right eye but that should go away by the time he's one (if not sooner)... (Kevin had one when he was a baby...) He also has a teeny tiny birth mark on his right eyelid... he was so alert and happy for the appointment which is always good... we go back in one month... Good job Will!!
