I am a mother of four, I have 3 boys and 1 girl. Our 2 younger boys struggle with a speech delay that we are working on. With that being said, things can get a bit chaotic around here and frustration levels rise. Living and learning with these boys and the speech delays has taught me patience and a whole new understanding that people see things in so many different ways. I am a stronger person because of this and feel blessed to have these little angels. I am married to a fabulous man and am living a happy life!

Abby is 10 Months old...

10 Months old...seems like I just barely posted that she was 9 months old.
Abby had her well baby check up and she weight 20 lbs 1.5 oz and measured at 27.9 inches tall.  That puts her in the 60th percentile.  She is definitely smaller than all the boys were.  They were all in the 90th percentil or above.
We love her new pediatrician, Dr. Bosworth.  He said that Abby was "medically boring" .  That is ALWAYS good news, I was very happy to hear that!  I then informed him that we had 2 other little ones that weren't quite so boring.

Abby is a mouth full of teeth coming in.  She has had her front 2 bottom teeth for a while but now her front 2 top teeth broke thru the gums on the 13th and then I just noticed the other day that she has a couple more on the top getting ready to break thru.  She is ready to walk, she can take about 4-5 steps on her own without holding on to anything and then falls down.  She loves to go outside, as soon as the boys open the sliding glass door to the backyard, she is quick to crawl as fast as she can to get out the door before we can get it closed.  She just loves to hang out on the back deck.  She likes to chase Sebastian around, which cracks him up!
She is such a good good baby!  She is so quiet and calm, very content.  She laughs and plays.  When she finds something on the floor that she shouldn't have (small wrapper, tiny toy, etc.) she looks at us and then hands us whatever it is that she found.  She loves to dance, whenever any kind of music comes on she just starts dancing....SO CUTE!

Fun times at Lagoon!



We purchased season passes to Lagoon Amusement Park and we have definitely gotten our money's worth!  I love Lagoon, I grew up going to Lagoon.  It was very normal to me to be able to go to an amusement park only 20 min away from home.  In Alaska we would have the fair every year and of course they are very good about setting up little carnivals throughout the year (yes, even in the freezing winter) but it just isn't the same as an amusement park!  The kids are having a blast and LOVE the rides!  Sebastian was a little unsure at first but now they love it!  The 6 of us go, Abby just hangs out in her stroller and is the best little baby, Gabe & Sebastian go crazy in the kiddie land running from ride to ride, then they will take a little break and relax in their stroller while Vinnie, Austin, and I take turns on the big rides.  This last weekend Grandma was able to join us which just added to the party and fun!




GRANDMA!!!









They love the Puff roller coaster.  First I took Sebastian by himself, then I took Gabe and then Gabe and Sebastian rode together and I sat behind them.



I remember riding Bulgy the Whale when I was little.  Sebastian wouldn't go on this the first few trips to Lagoon but he went this time, several times and loved it every time!




We have had so much fun and plan on going as much as we can before the season ends, which is next month....
