Very tired mommy!!

I can't remember being this tired. I've had 8 hrs of sleep since Sunday night and its Wednesday evening. I got up at 6 am on Monday with Gunner, no nap and worked that night. Got 4 hrs of sleep Tuesday morning then had a computer class at work from 6p-10p came home and couldn't fall asleep until 3 am then got up at 7 am with the kids. I am so delirious right now I can't really focus my eyes. Oh the struggles of a night shift Mama. On the brighter side, here is a pic of Bella feeding Gunner a bottle for the 1st time:

Crazy people

My family loves to play around. Gabby putting on my work socks and Craig on the plant playing hide and go seek. Then the girls saying goodbye to their bassinet. All 3 of my babies slept in it for the first few months of their lives. No more babies so no need for a bassinet:( It's kind of sad to get rid of since it helped me to have my newborn babies close by so I could check to make sure they are breathing or feed them every 2 hours. So many memories with one single object. It's really going to be hard for me to watch my babies grow into independent adults. Goodbye bassinet!!!

Gunner Update

Gunner is getting so big!!! He loves getting his diaper changed and grabbing his toes. He is rolling over to his belly every time I put him on the floor. At night he sometimes takes awhile to go back to sleep when he wakes up because he can't get comfortable. Gunner lately has been sleeping on his belly, which scares me a little bit but he moves himself around pretty good. He is constantly moving his legs, he will probably be an early walker. Buddy's personality has really come out in the last few weeks. He is always smiling, unless he is getting tired or hungry. Don't mess around when he wants to eat, he can get pretty loud. He gets mad if I'm not shoveling the cereal fast enough. Yesterday he tried his 1st veggie, green beans. He really liked it. It is bittersweet that he is growing up so fast. He is my last baby and in some ways I want him to stay small forever, but I won't miss the getting up at night and the 20 minute naps. Dr. Black said at Gunner's 4 month appt (25 inch, 14 lb 8oz) that his speech is advanced, he'll fit right in with his sisters.

Outside

Windy day yesterday, but warm enough to hang outside. The girls got to fly a kite with their Dad and walk Sadie.

Gunner just hanging out with me.

Reflect

Gunner loves his bathes, he tries to give me a bath at the same time

There is nothing more important in this world than these 3 amazing little people. I am lucky to have been blessed with them. There may be times when I have to yell or discipline them but nothing will ever change how much I love them. I love watching them grow and change and watch their individual personalities develop.

Alone

Woke up today, worked last night, to an empty house. Not quiet sure what to do with myself so I am working on a few projects that I can't seem to finish with my 3 munchkins around. 2012 book and home videos from 2012 on DVD done.

Valentine's Day

 The girls woke up to find their Valentine's Day presents!

Gabby getting her Valentine from Bella.

Gunner with his present.

 The girls decorated their Valentine's boxes, Gabby thought the marker was makeup.

Went to Bella's class party, I really need to step it up on the crafts, some of the kids boxes were very creative (trucks, MP3 players).

Happy 9th birthday to our dog, Sadie!!! Bella made me make her a special dinner and she decorated. We all sang her "Happy Birthday" and she got a lot of treats.

Busy Saturday Afternoon!!!

Busy Saturday afternoon!!! Worked last night, woke up and got everyone ready for Lyla's 1st birthday party. Went to the party, Lyla was adorable, usual chaos with my kids when we go out in public. Kids all fell asleep on ride home. Came home and started Valentine's Day boxes with the girls. Then Bella and Craig went to Eastwood High School for Bingo night. Gabby, Gunner and I stayed home and had a picnic dinner and watched a Barbie movie. Bella won a curling iron and a yogurt gift card at Bingo, too funny, bet I know what I am doing tomorrow. Time for bed!!!!

 



Eye love my kids!!

 Bella yesterday at the Dr's because I poked her in the eye with her folder and scratched her eye. My clumsiness is now hazardous to my children.
Gabby and I usually play games when Gunner is napping, she loves this Angry Bird game.
Gunner loves this ball, it moves by itself. Thanks Aunt Kelly.
As everyone can probably tell, I am becoming obsessed with blogging about my kids!

My sweet, photogenic children

 My sweet, photogenic children after Gunner chased them around the house with Daddy's help. He thinks this is hilarious. Gunner also thinks its fun to stay up all night because he keeps rolling onto his belly in his crib. Mommy has been very tired today! A highlight of today: Bella came home from school and counted to 100 by tens, didn't know she could do that.

Pics from 2013 so far

 Gunner rolling over from back to
 belly, way too early for that.
