Ending to a fun filled Day

I think Wrigley just discovered his voice yesterday. He has been so loud and just makes the same similar babbling noise a ton and it is hilarious. He did it for both grandmas and Papa Shane on the phone yesterday. He is upstairs doing it right now after I thought he was ready for bed. He is such a happy, content boy almost all of the time. I feel so blessed!!!

We had a fun day. However, Audrey got sick in the car on our way home, but seems fine now. We drove through McDonalds on our way home and before leaving the parking lot she was crying & said her stomach hurt. I looked back and said are u going to throw up cuz she had "that look". Anyhow thank goodness I gave her an empty bag just in time. Emersyn complained about smelling it a couple of times on the rest of the way home. Audrey wanted her food when we got home and has been fine since. Maybe it was the rides......

Wrigley woke up at the end of our trip for one final picture

More Zoo Fun

They loved the bumper cars, except Audrey got a sore on her neck from the seatbelt rubbing. She says it is daddy's fault for bumping into her so hard.
They also loved the swings. Emersyn was cracking up and loved it the whole time, while Audrey looked a little more scared. Emersyn never seems to be afraid of anything.

Como Zoo and Park

Today we went to The Como Zoo in St. Paul. It was pretty chilly in the 50's, but was sunny. It was fun to get out. This was Wrigley's first time to a zoo and he slept through most of it. I love this zoo because it is really small, but nice. The Minnesota Zoo can be overwhelming with little ones.

We got to see them working a little with "Sparky" the seal.

Unfair

I just realized I have a lot more pics of Emerysn with Wrigley lately and very few with Audrey. I guess Emersyn is the one that is home when I take most of the pictures.
I better work on this soon, so no one's feelings get hurt. They are very into being fair these days!!!!

Tummy Time

We haven't been very faithful with"Tummy Time" for Wrigley. He doesn't mind it for a little bit.
On Mother's Day, grandma's and mom's sang with their children at church. We had a good day. We went out to eat at The Outback and then relaxed at home the rest of the day. Sorry about the poor quality of this picture. We seems to always have dark pictures from inside...guess we aren't very good photographers. This was even after I brightened it on the computer.

15 weeks

Wrigley is now 15 weeks old.

Here are a few snapshots from the past couple of weeks.

Not much new...just keeping busy with work and all. I've been a little more stressed the past couple of weeks just due to trying to keep up with laundry, housework, etc on top of work and still getting up at least 1 to 2 times a night.

Troy and Emerysn found Wrigley this great new saucer at a neighbors garage sale for $15. It looks brand new. The one we had from Audrey was missing many parts and we sold it for $6 at our sale. Gotta love those bargains!!!! He isn't big enough to be in it long yet and we have to tuck blankets around him.

I am really trying to cherish my time with Wrigley as much as possible since I know they grow up so fast and since we know he is our last one.

13 weeks old

Just some of the newest pics of Wrigley. He continues to smile and talk more each day...seems very hard to catch these smiles on camera however!!

Jumper

The girls have been begging to put Wrigley in his jump up. I kept telling them he is still too little, but finally we tried him in it. Even on the lowest setting, only his tip toes touched the floor. He was ok being in it, but still doesn't fully control his head on his own.

All my Kiddos

I hadn't taken a picture of all 3 kids in awhile, so here is a recent one.

The girls still adore their brother. It amazes me how well they adjusted to him and that we never have had problems with jealousy or anything. I hope I don't jinx it by saying that out loud!!! I love being a mom of 3 now!!! It is fun having a boy this time around.

Big boy in stroller

This is a favorite picture from a nice day a couple weeks ago. He looks so big to me in the stroller!!!

Long Time, No Blog!!

I can't believe how time flies. The past couple of weeks have been extra busy with going back to work. I only worked 2 days instead of my normal 3, but has still been hectic. I can't believe how long it's been since I blogged!!!
Work has been good. The first day went well. The day before was actually worse as I was anticipating and sad. The morning of was so busy that I didn't have much time to think about it.
Wrigley has done very well at daycare and our provider has even commented that she only wants to take third children now because she has another little boy who is the youngest of 3 and is also good for her. She has had other babies who want to be held all of the time and he isn't that way. He definately gets ignoted more when crying than the girls did. But, he is a very happy boy most of the time.
Last week I made the 5 hour trip to Illinois for the first time alone with all kids. They all did very well considering. I thought only stopping once the trip down was great. This was a fast, unplanned trip as my Uncle David passed away and I wanted to be there for the services and for my aunt & cousins. I am glad we went, but on Thursday morning I had a terrible time getting out of bed as it all caught up with me!! We left Tuesday a.m. and got back home Wednesday evening.
