He's a year old....really?

My baby is now a one year old big boy.  He's walking, and even got his first big boy haircut...where has the time gone?  Where did my baby go?  He's developing a wonderful sense of humor.  Like his 2 oldest brothers, he's showing signs of being very outgoing.  He keeps me busy getting into EVERYTHING.  I don't know how I ever thought my life was complete without having him!

Video Games

For you other moms out there with boys in the 8-12 range, how do they seem to react to video games?

My boys seem to want to play them constantly! Not that I let them...but they play as often and for as long as I permit. Usually I end up taking the Wii away earlier than I had planned though because they end up fighting over it. Is that typical?

I've also had to take some of their games away, due to the attitude that always seemed to follow.

I know how much they love the Wii. At times, it really bothers me that they try so hard to make me feel like a bad mother for taking the game away. But I have to take it when I feel that it is becoming a detriment to them. Speaking of which....I'm off to take it from them now!

Didn't get lost...

I really didn't get lost...I promise! I did get sidetracked and away from my blog for a while. My man lost his job! So...he was here with me all day, every day. And hogging the computer! Can you believe that? I told him that all of my friends live in my computer (yes, I realize that is pathetic...) He didn't seem to care. He's back to work, but the baby is crawling. And MAN, can he crawl fast! I mean, super fast! So I am spending quite a lot of time baby-chasing. I really need to invest in a baby gate. We've been doing a lot of baby proofing. Cabinet locks and such. But we need a gate, so that I can at least confine the speed demon to just one room!!!

Carrot Face!!

Tuesday, day 43 of 365

So full of expression! I just love all the different faces he makes each day. I shot about 40 pics of him on this Tuesday, and he had a different face going in nearly all of them. This ended up being one of my favorites though...not exactly sure why!

Wearing Daddy's hat

Oh, how he loves to wear hats. But only if they are too big for him, so that they flop around on his head. He's going to be such the little goof ball. And already you can see the drama king coming out in him (just like his big brother Ethan...)
