Happy Mardi Gras

The boys loved Mardi Gras. Ross fought his nap but finally gave in. Alex was sick with RSV and I didn't know it. The week prior, Ross had RSV. Enjoy the pictures!

A black eye

While house hunting with Granny, Alex literally flew down the stairs. He got a concussion and we went to the hospital.

In the hospital an hour after the hit.

Later that night.

The next morning...

Ross pulled himself to standing

He did it on the couch then in his bed. Oh my goodness...a few days shy of 9 months old.

and this picture is from Jan. 28

...and dey awl axed fuh you

We went on down to the Audubon Zoo...

The Happs

Currently, Alex is in his room doing a puzzle. As he picks up the pieces he's counting them....in Spanish!

Ross started clapping 2 nights ago. I'll try to get a video.

The fairly late 4th birthday post

The really late 8 month pictures

I love the blurry action shot. I had to go outside to take the pics because my indoor pictures were horrible quality.



I love this picture!

the really late Christmas post

The boys had a blast and NO ONE was sick! Trying to get pictures when you have 2 kids is really hard. Alex loved opening all the presents. Ross loved playing with the paper.

Ross's first bite of sweet potatoes....not the baby food kind.


That's all I got, sorry :(

Ross said Mama...do you think?

6 months and 7 months

Here are the long awaited monthly (bi-monthly) pictures!

Can anyone else see the red hair???

Look at those chunker thighs.

Look ma' I can sit by myself.

Christmas Card Outtakes

I know, I know. I'm slacking on the monthly pictures. Let me get these up and in a few days I'll take Ross's 7 month pictures (yes, 7 months...I can hardly believe it) and then I'll put those and 6 months up.

Working on my fitness

I know this is a blog about the boys, but this kind of relates to Ross.

I gained lots of weight with his pregnancy...only 10lbs more than with Alex, but I'm older. Anyway, the last 7 weeks I've been doing a running program called Couch to 5K and I've lost 10 lbs. I'm running up to 25 minutes without stopping. I feel great and I love it. Just had to brag a bit!

I use http://www.kissmyblackass.org/podcasts/couch-to-5k/ for my guide, motivation, and entertainment :)

The Greats!

Great Grandma and Great Grandpa!

There's poop on my boots.

"How did poo poo get on your boots?" asked mom.

"When I pee peed on the fence, stepped in poo poo," proclaims Alex.

boys

and I forgot to post about this

Ross got tubes on October 19, I believe. He was doing well then 2 days after his 2 week check up he started with crusty drainage. We've already completed a round of antibiotics and now we have ear drops. Hopefully this goes away but now we're dealing with another cold. He's up right now, at 1am, coughing. Thankfully he loves his swing.

wow, being a mom of 2 boys is hectic

I'm off for Thanksgiving week and thankfully so (no pun intended). I have sooo much to CLEAN. Ross is starting to become more mobile. He spins around on his belly like a helicopter. Daycare says he is army crawling but we've yet to see it.

I hope to post pictures soon. As it is, I'm up at 1am waiting for Ross to fall asleep. at 11:45pm he woke up and I gave him a bottle. He needed a breathing treatment and now he's in the swing.
