Big boy bed!

I can't believe my little man is in a twin bed already. I swear I just brought him home from the hospital...really. When did he get so big?!



Yesterday, they brought in his new "big boy bed" and he was SOOO excited. First thing he wanted to do was jump on it, lol.


We still need more sheets for it and I'm still working on his quilt, but he is in heaven. He slept great last night. I'm so glad we finally got him one.

And it's really nice to have the good crib in Rori's room where it belongs. Her room looks 100 times better with that crib in there.

I had been working really hard on getting his quilt finished. I spent 3 days at the sewing machine, and thought I was almost finished. I had gotten this really cute pattern online, but it was crib size. I figured it would only take a few extra squares to make it twin size. Boy was I wrong! After making 12 squares, I did the math and discovered I needed 36 more squares!! That is 3 times the size!! Holy Hannah. I don't even have the fabric for that. I am really hoping that they have the same fabrics at the bazzar this weekend or I am screwed, and Alex is getting a very small quilt. lol.


All my fabric cut


Peicing it together


Ironing like crazy


And putting it all together



Now if only I had 36 more squares! lol

At the Pool!

This summer it has been so hot that we decided to take the kiddlets to the pool! We all had so much fun we have decided to make it a weekly event. Our gym has a great indoor wading pool, just perfect for the kids. Rori and Alex both had a blast. Alex was a little nervous at first but he really warmed up after our second trip. I think he is really going to love swimming. Rori thought it was a little crazy, after we started chasing her brother around though she had a blast.

Here are some photos!

Aurora's 4 month appointment

Rori-bean went in for her 4 month appointment yesterday, and all is well.

She was 6.25 kilos (13.7lbs) Which is around 48% for weight.

I don't remember her height, but she is around 42% for height.

And her head is 25%. (Same as Alex).

The doctor recomended holding off on solid foods until 6 month because of the allergies and excima issues we have. We will see how it pans out. I'm not to concerned. Alex already had excima long before we started him on solids and everyone here has allergies so I don't think we're going to be able to avoid it with her.


She's not ready for solids now though. Everything you put in comes right back out because of the tounge reflex issue. So we're waiting for that to go away anyhow.

She had her 4 month shots, and did great, but is not feeling well today. I'm sure she'll feel better soon.

Here are a few 4 month pics!

Slideshow for Aurora.

I sat down and made Rori's slideshow tonight. Enjoy!
