Current Happenings

What's going on with our family right now?  Let's explore the little men's lives.  

Mace is getting into everything.  He's 10 months old now and can army crawl at a frantic pace.  He's pulling up on whatever he can grab and loves climbing onto the stairs to follow his brothers.  Peek-a-boo and patty cake are among his absolute favorites currently.  He lights up now when Daddy comes home just like the older boys.  It's so fun to see.  In the last month he's had a few sicknesses and has stopped sleeping through the night.  He's getting up 2-4 times during the evening which I'm hoping ends soon.  He's now sleeping worse than he ever did as a new little baby.  

Cade is entering the terrible twos.  The last few weeks have been a little rocky with Cade.  He has started throwing some fits and is getting familiar with time out.  He loves his brothers and is always copying everything Drew does.  Drew has been taking advantage of this lately trying to get Cade to do naughty things to get him in trouble.  When Mace is upset, Cade is right there bringing him a blanket trying to comfort him.  He's so sweet.  We are entering the third month of speech therapy for Cade.  He still does not have many words but he's started making improvement.  

Drew continues to amaze us with his wit, strength, energy and smarts.  Today I had him helping me on a project outside doing some plantings.  He was not listening to what I wanted him to do to help with the project and was doing what he thought should be done.  Then he informed me that four year olds should just be able to do whatever they want.  (Sigh)  Drew currently is working on reading, spelling, adding and subtracting.  He is a very bright little boy but you really have to work on catching that small window when he wants to focus on learning.  He loves being outside playing in the water or digging in the yard.  If Mitch is outside working on a project you will find Drew nearby.  He loves being involved in everything.
