Our Little Family: Rolling, Tricycles & Dogs!

We had quite a week last week.. but that's the way we like it.

Tuesday we were blessed with a playdate with Raelyn, Harlie & Annie (and a mommy date for myself & Rachel). :) Livi loves these girls so much & they're so good with playing with her. I hope they had just as much fun as Livi did. Raelyn is great with kids, she loved holding Jameson. I guess after 2 sisters, she's a pro at it tho. :) Catching up with Rae is always nice. Its amazing how talking to someone above the age of 2 is so relaxing, no matter how many children are running around us.

Later that day we had to take all 3 dogs to the vet. 3 dogs + 2 children = CRAZY!! But its just easier to take them all at once than to have to take one at a time (since the vet is a good 30 mins away). Luckily Brandon was able to go with me so he stayed outside with the babies & dogs as I took them in one at a time. $400 & 2 hours later, we were on our way home.

Tuesday night, we had a few minutes before bedtime. Brandon wasn't home so I did what I normally do to waste time, take the kiddos to my parents. Well my Mom & Dad were almost ready to leave to go to Wal-Mart, so we didn't even make it in. As I was talking to my Mom, Olivia climbs in their Pilot into her seat & says she's going to Wal-Mart. What a nut!! But being the spoiled child she is, she gets her way & she's off to Wal-Mart. An hour & half later, she returns with a Happy Meal, Bananas, Teddy Grahams, and a tricycle. She was so excited, she wanted to ride that thing all night long. I didn't think I would ever get her into bed that night. I love seeing her little face when she returns from spending time with my parents. She gets all excited & wants to tell you all about it. She just loves Mamaw & Papaw so much.

Wednesday we headed to Jameson's specialist in Kingsport. He had gained weight (10.8 on their scale), but since every scale is different, we won't know for sure exactly how much he gained until we go back to Dr. Begley. His BMI went up, which is good, but we still have a long way to go. We discussed some issues & then we were on our way. This reflux has really kicked our butt. We literally work for every ounce we gain & we smell of regurgitated milk everywhere we go, but I know in the end, it will be alright.

Wednesday after a nap, Jameson rolled over in my bed. I thought it was just a one time incident until that night when he rolled over & over & over in his crib (making his monitors go off a time or two). He really is growing up. I want him to stay my little boy for just a little longer, but I guess he has other plans.

Whew, what a face. :)

Friday we took Olivia to the track to work on riding her tricycle. She did pretty good, she's just a little lazy. haha! She has a hard time pedaling on her own. Brandon came up with his own solution so he didn't have to bend over to push her the whole time, he put a dog leash around it & pulled her. haha! He's pretty creative. In the end, Olivia wanted to pull it around. We looked pretty silly.
