Time... where is all our time

Ok..  just checked the last post and I can't believe that I haven't written anything in over a MONTH...  where does my time go.  Lots going on with Ian and Luke as always!  I am enjoying watching the boys grow and play together more and more.  It's the really nice part of two boys!  Luke is going to be tough as nails after seeing what Ian puts him through--I think one day he is going to turn on him and I am just going to look the other way and let them go!!  Ian loves to roll his brother around and I keep catching Ian picking Luke up.  Luke has the funniest face when it happens.. like REALLY MOMMY--are you LETTING this happen?

In some moment of complete insanity I scheduled both boys a well visit at the same time.  Seriously--what was I thinking.  Had to call in the big guy, aka Daddy, to help out with this one.  Luke 9 months and Ian 4 yo (yep shots included...)  and here's the news.

LUKE is growing like crazy and has crazy long legs!  19 lb and 3 oz, 30 inches long (which puts him at 25% for weight and almost 90% for height) and thankfully healthy as can be!  He now has 6 -- yes 6 teeth!  2 on the bottom and 4 on top.  He is crawling like a little bullet and cruises on everything.  A couple of times he has attemped to stand without help and lasts for a couple of seconds.  He is a whirlwind that I am not sure the world is ready to accept!!  Very verbal little guy and says DADADADA all the time!  He will squeak out a MAMA and BRABRA too.  Loves to dance to music toys and has an adorable little shimmy when he likes something.  Eating everything.. loves texture and bits of real food.  He's almost abandoned the canned baby food.  He also did the sign for more yesterday. 

IAN is becoming such a big boy too.  Amazing how much he has changed in the last year.  40 lb and 42 inches tall...  with huge feet--jumped a whole size in 2 months--YIKES.  He did great with the dr visit until time for the shots.  Didn't like those at all but who can blame him--it's not my favorite either.  He proclaimed at the top of his voice that he now "Hated the Dr and was NEVER coming back".  Pretty sure the entire office heard it so much that Dr H poked his head back in and told Ian that Drs were good it's just the nurses you have to watch out for... then Ian backed down to just hating shots.  I'll let him have that one.  Then walking out he would not bend his knees and just shuffled slowly.  I think it took us 10 minutes to get down the hall with Marco and I trying so hard not to just lose it laughing. He is obsessed with being four and had a great family birthday.  His kid bday party is in March--ok--mommy is only about a month behind.  He's decided he doesn't like to clean--at all and green things to eat are not his favorite.  Well we had a good eater for 4 years!  He is writing his name and using both hands equal--not sure if he is a lefty or righty but does better with left.  Maybe a great baseball player one day!!  He is starting soccer in a couple of weeks and I think that I am more excited than he is.... Never thought I would be so excited to be a Soccer Mom!!!  Ian takes after his Opa Jan--there is no doubt.  I was making dinner and wasn't thinking about hearing the electric screwdriver from the playroom.  Ian loves to "fix" things--well this time he really fixed something.  He had taken apart all the boards from his little IKEA chair and laid all the pieces out.  It was precious and I hope I never forget the look on his face when he told me what he just did.  Watch out train table! 

Now for Marco and I--big changes coming we hope... more later (and no we are NOT pregnant...)  Marco is working all the time but doing so well.  We are so proud of all he is doing for us!  I am having some issues resulting from the gestational diabetes.  Investigating now and we'll see what happens in the next month.  Hopefully we'll be able to find the cause of the extreme exhaustion over the last couple of months as well.  It's becoming ridiculous!!  We are having fun redecorating the downstairs and Marco swears that I am worse than the mouse with a cookie--
IF you give your wife new couches then she'll want new tables--if she gets new tables then she'll want new carpet and curtians..  Yes this could go on forever!!  But it's so much fun.
