facebook share to pinterest thursday february 20 2014 embarrassing moments someday i am sure i will be in trouble for this post but its just so cute that i had to and maybe someday we can use it a blackmail you never know when these kind of things can come in handy ha j k i would never do that to my children actually i am just amused at sweet xander and proud of the progress he is making we are starting potty training this is the very beginning of it i honestly do not think xander is ready for potty training so the point is more of an introduction so that when the time comes it will not be a big deal xander still can not tell us when he needs to go potty but in general we can tell when he starts pushing that needs to go when we notice we put him on the potty at first we tried just putting him on the real potty but he was terrified so we got him a little potty which is apparently not so scary after a few tries he no longer cries he will sit there and do his business and seems pretty proud when we take it to the big potty to flush hopefully this effort will pay off in the end when we really do start potty training for now though he is dang cute sitting on the potty reading or watching tv yes my kid is spoiled and so am i posted by stefani at 11 33 am no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest wednesday february 12 2014 fun with zeus our dog is a sweetheart he is a very good sport he has been as patient as you could expect for someone whose home and life has been overrun by two wild intruders he has come to love our crazy boys and he puts up with so much they absolutely adore him and love to bug him constantly i am so grateful for his sweet temperment and his continuous patience with our children he is an important member of our family and im so glad that our boys have the chance to grow up with such a great dog posted by stefani at 4 01 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest friday february 7 2014 zane s 15 month stats zane s 15 month stats height 33 inches 99 weight 24 7 lbs 75 zane is our wild child he is a little tasmanian devil roaming around the house bringing destruction he is such a ball of energy and such a delight he is always smiling and such a tease now that he can walk and run we have to be on constant alert he will escape through the dog door or an open door quicker than we can think to stop him he constantly opens every cabinet and cupboard he can reach which is why they are now all locked even though he is a handful we absolutely adore our little man he is such a fun happy and joyful little boy he loves to tease and to be tickled he loves peek a boo and anything he can do with his daddy and or big brother he is very social and really hasnt even started the stranger danger stage yet he is becoming more attached to his daddy but will still be affectionate to mommy if i am quick enough his smile and devious eyes light up his whole face and shows the mischief going through his little brain he is very much his mama s boy constantly on the go and not content to act his age zane follows xander around everywhere and tries to do everything xander does including any fits zane is becoming such a good eater despite not having many teeth his appetite is a bit ridiculous he can almost eat as much as me and he eats almost everything the only things he wont eat are cheerios and juice even veggies he seems to chow down on we absolutely love this little boy we are so grateful to have him in our family he keeps us on our toes and brings so much laughter and happiness to our home posted by stefani at 3 31 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest thursday february 6 2014 xander gets it right once again grandpa s garage selling pays off xander loves any toy that makes music and noises this one is a crazy toy that has a whole lot of buttons to push that make different noises xander was having a blast just pushing the buttons but i was cracking up that he was answering the questions right my smart boy its just too cute so i couldnt resist sharing posted by stefani at 10 38 am no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest monday february 3 2014 first day of school i thought that i would have a lot more time before i had to watch my boys go to their first day of school unfortunately this moment came far too fast eldon has gotten full time work meaning that he will no longer play the role of mr mom this means that the boys need to go to day care this is such a tough thing for me we reviewed several different options and finally decided on a daycare close to my work so i could check on them regularly for this aspect i am grateful but this is still a difficult day as a quick aside for the pictures we tested out the daycare with the boys for several days before actually leaving them there full time the boys are in separate classes which is something they have not experienced much before separation while on the playground xander found his little brother s class and banged on the window until zane came they tried to touch through the glass it was the most precious thing definitely one of those happy mommy moments so here we are drop off for first day of school i will not cry i will not cry i will not cry the boys were very curious about the place and probably could feel our anxious feelings as well so i couldnt get a good first day of school pic but here you go they cried for a bit when dropping them off and no mommy did not actually cry although i came close within a few minutes when i peaked back in they were both playing and had stopped crying for the moment i checked on them several times during the day and there were some sad moments but they also did very good and were happy playing at times too my sweet friend kim knew that it was going to be a tough day for me and so she sent me with a care package to work something to open every 30 minutes of the day to make me smile and take my mind off worrying about my boys i missed taking a picture of the tissues but the rest i got so thoughtful between opening these gifts explaining them to people as they entered my office talking about the boys first day and how i was coping with people at work and checking on my boys the day actually went by pretty quickly although in all honesty not much work actually got done that day i am grateful for all the thoughtfulness that helped get me through that first tough day the boys teachers said they actually did pretty good for their first having never really been out of sight of their parents for more than a few hours once we got home however their behavior was pretty amusing zane through a royal fit and would not let eldon put him down he definitely chewed him out for leaving him xander on the other hand who had had a rougher day at school than zane was just glad to be home with his toys he didnt throw any fits and just happily played with his things over the next couple of days i visited often the boys continued to improve but zane was having a hard time at the end of the mornings his class only takes one nap a day and while zane usually fights his morning nap he often times succumbs to the need of two naps the teachers took this sweet pic for me while cracking up apparently zane walked over to this table and swept all the objects off and to the side and climbed right up and promptly fell asleep so glad they were thoughtful enough to take this sweet pic it gave me something to chuckle at after taking the pic of course they moved him to the soft pillow but he was out posted by stefani at 4 04 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest sunday february 2 2014 xander s 2 year stats xander s 2 year stats height 35 5 inches 76 weight 25lbs 30 it is so hard to believe that 2 years have gone by it has been an amazingly crazy two years this little boy has brought so much joy and healing to our family he is our miracle and such a sweet blessing he is a chill little boy with a very tender heart he is very affectionate and loves to cuddle he is still a daddy s boy but is beginning to come back to mama s side with all his snuggles he still is not speaking much but he communicates in big ways he has gotten very good at getting whatever object he wants sippy cup snacks toy etc and bringing it to a parent adult and handing it to them for help he minds pretty well but falls apart when he is told no very tender hearted as i say xander is a very picky kiddo and has some major texture sensitivities because of this he doesnt eat very much hence the drop in weight percentage his favorites are spaghettios peanut butter and honey sandwiches ramen noodles and chicken favor rice to make sure he gets enough nutrients he drinks alot of smoothies and he seems to really enjoy the different fruit tastes he also loves white grape juice and anything chocolate amazingly he is not picky when it comes to desserts xander absolutely loves music this is one aspect that has never changed he especially loves instrumental music and more of a folksy type tune thanks to his birth mothers fun taste in music i am sure he loves thomas the train shows and playing with balls cars and his music making toys he is most happy when he is playing outside he loves just running around and swinging he is beginning to really enjoy riding well sitting or scooting his tricycle he is a very sweet big brother he is getting better at sharing with his little brother it is still a work in progress but he gives in much easier than zane he takes care of zane and makes sure he is okay when zane cries he likes helping with zane s bath and tucking him in bed they regularly play hide and seek peek a boo in the curtains with each other cracking up and like throwing the ball together and playing on the bikes xander is always quick to push zane on the bike or scoot toy we just love this little boy so very much he is such a sweetheart and we are so very grateful for him in our lives we are excited to see what the future holds for him and are just trying to enjoy every moment we can posted by stefani at 2 58 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest 2 rocks its so hard to believe that our sweet snuggly precious little baby is two it has been a whirl wind two years this little boy has held our hearts since the day he was born and we are so very proud of him he is such a cute little man and has such a tender heart he absolutely loves music and being outside so we decided to do a rock and roll party at a park to combine his two favs the cousins loved the slide and the slide loved the static hair the slide was pretty big so daddy helped and xander loved it he was trying to climb up again the spring race toy was pretty good too it is so funny to me xander is the pickiest eater if he doesnt recognize it he wont even try it the exception to this rule is sweets some how he can tell if it is sweet without trying it and will gobble it right up without any question so of course the cake and ice cream was a big hit zane was having a hard time dang teeth so he hung out with grandpa for most of the party just chillin since the theme of the party was 2 rocks we of course had to have pop rocks to enjoy this was xander s first try and he seemed to like them as a side note though i think he swallowed them before the popping part could really start which is unfortunate because that is the fun part xander got some really fun new toys books and cute clothes thank you to everyone that came and spent the day with out big boy he had a lot of fun and really enjoyed it much better than his first birthday to go along with our music theme we got xander a toy piano he absolutely loved it and zane loves to help pound out the notes as well here s to our future musical genius my niece olivia loved the slide she kept grabbing my hand saying cmon slide cmon how could i resist so glad my sweet friends and their families could come and help make this day special too much love to
