Toothy

Baby Graham got his first tooth - yes we think it is too soon too. The only reason we noticed is because he is drooling like a Saint Bernard. He soaks everything. He was a little tough on sleep for a night, but not bad. A far cry from his brother's first tooth. I haven't taken any photos of him, but here is a video of me trying to get him to laugh with fart noises (circa daddy). Click on the photo below for the video (Picasa is SO cool!)



We have a buyer for our house. Some paperwork and it is a deal. We are relieved, but still kind of sad to leave our house. On one hand I will miss our maple tree and then on the other hand, I will not. The same goes with the rest of the house, so many things I will miss and so many things I will not.


I am excited to make the west side our neighborhood, but will dearly miss my beloved S. Central and our friends and neighbors here.

Jr. is excited to get a new house and get a new room. We are going to decorate his bathroom with monkeys. He is going to be SUPER excited for his new yard.

Halloweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen!

It was a perfect 10 of a holiday. Jr. got to go trick-or-treating at my office on Friday, wear his costume to a party on Saturday and hit up some of our nearest and dearest for candy on Sunday night.



He was so excited his brain literally melted. He couldn't eat, he couldn't sleep, and when he woke up the next morning at 6:30 AM he was screaming for candy from his Plumpquin!!!!!!!!!!


Part of the excitement undoubtly came from the appearance of the "po po" in front of our house. I am here to tell you that Ed and I have not seen one speeder pulled over on our street in the 7+ years we lived here. Low and behold, the very night Jr. had his po po costume on, there he was. He was a super nice cop and pulled over to let Jr. get his photo taken with him and the car. It was so cool my heart melted a little bit.



He did change out of his costume in time to hand out candy. He changed into his "hunter mush mouth" get up.


Graham was a sweet pea. The sweetest of peas, well one of two sweetest peas.




We spent the day at home today suffering from various ailments. Jr. was actually such a sweet heart all day, he was definately not feeling well. We played outside but not for too long. His dad took him to the park, but not for too long. He just wanted to watch movies and play with his play-doh all day. Graham was, of course, rediculously sweet all day.




Check out today's picasa album for a sweet video of Graham talking.

3 months and 2.5 years - officially

Half way to 6 months and half way to 5 years old. Woah.

Some quick photos and some quick notes. No one wants to buy our house - yet. Ed and I are braced for the worst. Whatever.

The boys are great. Jr. is the perfect combination of salty and sweet, just like kettle corn. One second, total a-hole, next second all hugs and kisses. Plus he is WICKED smart, tonight he asked if I would come into his room with him and play a silly little game. Um, of COURSE I will.


If you take a look at the picasa album, you can get a sneek peek at Jr.'s Halloween Costume. . . plus there are some pretty sweet videos.

Graham is 100% pure sweet baby. He started day-care last week, he did great. He spent the weekend with me and his Auntie Liesel in Missoula, attended a Griz game and did great. He is such an easy baby. He started laughing a couple of weeks ago. He really giggles at his big brother. So cute.



AND WELCOME TO THIS WORLD, AMELIA ANN MOOG! We saw her tonight and she is B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L!!!!! She is so sweet and her beautiful sister is adjusting pretty well. We are so happy that she is here, that is the end of the babies for a while. It was a good run.

Faithypoo

Ed Jr.'s cousin Faith is one wild woman. And that is why we love her so!

17 Weeks and 3 Years

Today little Mr. Ed Jr. is 17 weeks old. That makes him 3 days shy of 4 months old. Today is the first day in his 9 month clothes. I actually got a little weepy pulling his 3-6 and 6-9 month clothes out of the dresser last night. He is growing up so fast. Although I am very excited for him to grow up so that I can play with him some more, I am realizing that having an infant was/is pretty fun too.

Yesterday was my first big day at work since he was born. I was there from 9-4. It was a long day. I had to pump at work. It was moderately successful, thank goodness I have all sorts of cute photos of him on my phone to look at while I pump.

On to better stuff. . .

The biggest news of the day is that it is Ed Sr. and my 3rd wedding anniversary. It seems like we have been together a lifetime. I will never forget our wedding, it was a hot but beautiful day at the Blacktail Ranch outside of Wolf Creek, MT. I got as sick as a dog and spent our entire wedding night barfing my guts out. No, it wasn't the wine, it was what we lovingly refer to as the "Andervirus" brought to us by Ed's best man Josh, all of the way from Coleville, WA. After me, it hit our entire raft trip party, sans "Don't Mess With The" Jess and Heffe. I can't complain too much about getting sick at the wedding - at least I had indoor plumbing.
What did I get Ed Sr. to celebrate our anniversary - nothing. Oops. We are going to dinner without Jr. Thanks to Granny Sheree for babysitting. It can't be much worse than our second anniversary where I was flying to Cincinnati just a few days after finding out I was pregnant. Although I don't know if it will quite stack up to our first anniversary we spent it recovering from a hangover/getting re-drunk in our front while playing croquet after Ryan and Jolyn's wedding the night before. All of our friends were there, it was pretty hilarious.

Happpy Anniversary Ed - I love you more than ever. Thank you for everything, you are an awesome husband and an amazing father.

The happiest days of my life have been spent with you. You keep me laughing constantly and make me feel safe. I love every ounce of you (farts don't weigh anything). Thank you for marrying me.

Baby + Wig = Big Laughs

Big Day - Lots of Camera

Last night at his unofficial weigh in, Ed Jr. tipped the scales at 20 pounds. I would say that is pretty darn big for a (not quite yet) 4 month old.

We had a big weekend visiting family. We went to Great Falls to hang out with Nanna, Poppa. While we were there, we cruised over to say "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" to aunt Lisa and uncle Jack. Saturday, Ed Sr. participated in a carp fly fishing tournament. He caught a 7 pound carp, it was ugly. Maybe someday Grandpa Dan will send us a copy of the photo. . .

Sunday we beat feet home to see Ed Jr.'s great grandparents. They were very happy to see him. They say that Ed Jr. is one good looking boy, but doesn't look anything like his momma. Faith on the other hand, according to my grandma, looks exactally like me. I love it.

Enjoy some photos!

16 Weeks

16 Bliss filled weeks.

Friday Night

Thanks to Adrienne for lending us the jumparoo. It is totally awesome.

My new favorite photos.

Ed Jr. eyes Smelma. She is NEVER up to any good.
Ed Jr. laughs at his mom's joke. Bad joke.
Is that a camera?
Ima eat that camera.

Happy Birthday Grandpa!

Grandpa John - we wish you the happiest birthday! We can't wait for you to come see us!

XOXO

Ed Jr.

It IS a Small World

Our world is pretty small, but it feels HUGE. We don't do nearly as much as Ed Sr. and I used to do in an average week, but the few things we do - do are a big freaking deal.

We went to Alive at 5 last week. Ed Jr. was pretty good, minus a melt down when he got tired. We go to the Farmers Market in the stroller and last night we even went to a bar - yes we took the baby to a bar. Don't worry, he didn't have anything to drink. With the smoking ban in Helena, I guess that is more okay than when I was a kid?

Ed Jr. is also very excited about the johnny jump up on loan from the BEAUTIFUL Adrienne Mabel.

Party Dude

Boy howdy did we have a busy weekend, Friday night we went to meet Carter. He has a ton of dark hair and a very sweet face. Saturday we went to yoga and took a long walk with Adrienne, we borrowed her stroller. Uncle Ian came over after golf to see us and then we took off to Missoula to party at our Uncle Brian's new Clinton House.

We got to see all of our awesome Missoula uncles, Uncle Walt, Uncle Mikey, Uncle Brian, Uncle Heffe, Uncle Bad Brad and our mostest favorite, Auntie Liesel.We all stayed up way too late on Saturday night and had to relax at the Moogs on Sunday. It was an awesome Hawaiian Shirt kind of weekend.

Finally

The last of our baby friends was born on Tuesday evening. Helmet - er - I mean Carter is here! Finally Ed Jr. has another little boy to share all of his beautiful girlfriends with.

We made Carter's parents some yummy breakfast bars so we can go drop them off and hopefully sneak a peek at the newest Mr. Handsome.

That is it, none of the rest of our friends are pregnant - or at least as far as we know.

You be the judge

I am mildly obsessed with a few things - stop laughing Ed!

Sleep, actual time vs. perceived time and who Jr. looks like.

His momma.

Or his daddy?

I vote his daddy.
