Happy Birthday Mack!

We took Mack's one year pictures and did some cake smash pictures as well. He is such a cute boy! I had to share at least a few... or maybe all of them. 

But first- here is a newborn picture!

And here he is now-

He has 2 teeth with 3 more partially in

He loves to walk!

He hates being fed with a spoon, he insists on feeding himself

He loves any plush blanket or stuffed animal

He's a big fan of the pacifier still

He is always sticking his tongue out

He sleeps through the night from 8:30-9pm to 7:30-8am

He LOVES to go outside

He likes sippy cups with handles

He knows how to throw a major temper tantrum

He loves when Daddy comes home

He likes to steal Oliver's toys

He and Oliver share a room now!

He thinks it's really funny to put his fingers up Terry's nose.

He likes to stand on the couch and look out the window

He knows how to climb up and down stairs- without falling!

He naps twice a day

He likes to sneak into the bathroom and play in Oliver's little potty.... gross I know.

He has the sweetest little smile!

He is very observant of his surroundings

We love that he is a part of our family!

Happy Birthday Mack! We love you!

Mack Turns One!

Mack turned one TODAY! I can hardly believe it. He is walking and making sure he is figuring out how to do everything Oliver can do. We celebrated his birthday on Sunday with our families. We sure do love him!! What cute little boy he is!

He got this book for his birthday. It makes tractor noises.
Both boys love it! They get it taken away....

Monster Trucks

Last weekend we were given tickets from my dad to go see the Monster Trucks. We thought for sure Oliver would have a blast! It was all he could talk about before and after, but boy, he hated actually being there! We made it an hour. He loved the trucks, but he hated how loud it was, and yes we had earplugs and even the earmuff ones on him. But, he is still talking about them and how he wants to go back!

35 Weeks 6 Days

We made it! 35 weeks and 6 days. Here is my one and only "bump" picture from this pregnancy to compare to the previous two boys. All of these pictures were taken at the same week and day!

Baby #3

(bad picture, I know!)

Update on this baby:

I have been having contractions for about 6 weeks now, so I have been put on "limited activity" which basically just means, don't do anything stupid, and lay down a lot. Which is fine by me! I was, however, moved up to weekly appointments early, which is kind of a pain. At 33 weeks, I was starting to efface, which is way sooner than with either of the other boys. At my last appointment, I was measuring almost 2 weeks small, (I have always measure 1-2 weeks big) so now we are a little concerned that the baby isn't growing. My doctor wasn't worried, so we are trying not to either! She didn't say what would happen if he had stopped growing, so I guess we will find out at the next appointment! My c-section is scheduled for March 12th at 7:30am, unless I do actually have him early, but I think the odds of that are pretty slim. We also have FINALLY decided on a name... mostly. Well, maybe. We have an idea, but we want to wait until we see him before we really decide on it. 

Nothing to do with my baby, but on Friday, we will be getting a new niece! The first little girl for my side of the family. We can't wait to meet her! Even though it will make me really, REALLY want to have our baby STAT!

Remodel.

This winter Terry's house project was to remodel the bathroom and build me tables and benches. The table and benches are done, and the bathroom is mostly done (just touch up stuff at this point). I told Terry next year he could have a break from anything major, and just work on finishing little projects he has promised me. He is looking forward to that, I think we all are. Living in construction is not ideal! We actually had to sleep in the living room for 3 weeks. When people came over, they knew I didn't make my bed! Embarrassing. Oh well. Here are some before and after pictures of the bathroom, as well as some pictures of my new table, benches, and island/trash that Terry built. He sure is handy!

Be My Valentine

This year for Valentine's Day, Terry and I took the boys to the Boise Aquarium. It's not very big, but it is better than what I was expecting. Best of all, the boys loved it!
