Update(Because I haven't blogged about them in a while)




Olivia



  • Starts school this Wednesday.

  • Is scared of just about everything.

  • Likes PB&J more than anything else in the world(she had never had one until this summer).

  • Moved up to the Kindergarten class yesterday at church.

  • Is now wearing a size SIX!! Well, sometimes. I don't know what we'll do about pants this fall, because 5's are too small and 6's are about 8 inches too long.

  • Bosses her sisters like a mad woman.

  • LOVES to hold Addison's hand and make her walk around the house.

  • Is interested in horse back riding.

  • Has started holding her breath under water and thinks it's the coolest thing in the world.

  • Has to have her hair braided every night before bed because it's so long that it gets tangled around her arms if we don't.


Emma Claire




  • Still had that knot on her head, but we're not worried about it. It's getting slightly smaller, but still pretty big. It's normal. She's fine. She does call herself a "weal knot head" though, which makes me laugh pretty much every time she says it. Her pop calls her that all the time, but she thinks it's funny that she really does have one now.

  • Is getting the most beautiful hair on any child. Seriously, the child has some beautiful locks.

  • Occasionally keeps her panties dry through the night. She's been fine off and on, right now is an off time. She's been trained forever, she just still pees a TON at night.

  • Is really really smart. I think she'll probably be reading by the end of the year. Sister has a good brain in that big head!

  • Is really hoping we have a baby boy. She told me we have "too many gers."

  • Is about to catch her big sister in shoe sizes. That girl has some feet, I tell ya.

  • Thinks it's hysterical to lay on top of people or things. She particularly loves to lay on Addison. Yes, Addison screams at her and usually claws her to death, but for some reason, EmC still thinks it's funny. Go figure.

  • Is really daft about some things. I mentioned earlier that she's really smart. Maybe she'll be one of those genius people with no common sense.

  • Doesn't eat very much, but is completely obsessed with food and food times. She talks about food ALL DAY LONG.

  • Is a tough cookie, but a real girly girl. Not many people see this, but she loves to look pretty and smell pretty, and BE pretty.=)


Addison




  • Is walking and trying to run EVERYWHERE.

  • Will shake her head yes to answer just about any question.

  • Signs lots of words.

  • Has 6 teeth and 6 on the way out. Seriously, she's about to double her tooth amount.

  • Just started shaking her head no, but she shakes her whole body and usually knocks herself down doing it!

  • Will hold her ears and scream. LOUD.

  • Calls her lovey "dis." I think it's because we say, "Do you want this?"

  • Eats like a growing teenage boy.

  • Loves to sing and play the piano.

  • Isn't the nicest child in our family. She seems a little violent with her sisters. I'm not sure if it's because they've asked for it or if she's just not going to be very nice.=)


The Parentials

  • Are doing well.

  • I'm finally feeling a bit better. Smells still bother me a lot and I'm still not able to eat some things, but overall I'm loving the second trimester!

  • Find out in a few short weeks if the baby is a boy or a girl!!! There will be a poll later.

  • Scotty is loving his job these days. I like it too. I love the fact that HE loves it though.

  • About to start a new book in book club. I'd love to have you join in if you live in my area! Let me know if you're interested.

  • Are BUSY getting things ready for school this week!!


OK. Enough bullet points! Hope this fills you in on our family for now. Taa-taa.

  1. had no idea O's hair was that long!
    i think jack and EmC are likely quite similar. he's also very smart (counts to 60, knows and recognizes his alphabet, etc), yet does not pick up on some simple, common sense things sometimes. i've told josh that he might be one of those geniuses who seem very airheaded - ha! they'd probably HATE each other!! hehe
    can't to see what you're having!!

  2. Oh LOVE a bullet point update sister!

    Ahhh, love a bullet point update almost as much as a checked off list. Yes!!

    And I'm laughing hysterically about Addison "not being very nice to her sister's, and being a little violent" I believe you called it. Becke' and I were JUST having this conversation about our third little bundle of joy's.

    Our little Jibs has taken to flailing around on the floor when we take something away and does not care if he hits the wall in the process. I just pop a bag of popcorn and stand back to watch the show.

    Anyhoo-great update!
