Alex has pink-eye

So, we've been passing around the crud for weeks now. Harrison had pink-eye, then I had it three times (probably never got rid of it) and now Alex is fighting it. He's not a fan of the eyedrops, but I told him I have to put medicine in his eye because it's pink. He said, "No Mommy, I have blue eyes!"

Rub a Dub Dub...

There's POOP in the tub! Yes, you read that right. I was being uber-efficient mom last night and threw all three of them in the tub. Usually Harrison wants to take a shower but for some reason he wanted a bath last night. So, they were all playing well, splashing around. I got Ian out to dry him off first and then I noticed the suspicious floaters that were NOT toys! I wasn't sure who did it, but then Alex claimed it! He said, "I go poo-poo in the ba!" Harrison jumped out really fast! Alex wasn't in a hurry. I guess when it's your own brand...


GROSS!

Early morning musings...

by Harrison.

Ian woke up around 7 and I was up in his room feeding him. A little while later the big boys woke up and made their way out of their room. Sometimes, Alex will feel like he's being left behind by Harrison and will cry. Today, not only was he afraid of being left behind, he stepped on a toy in the playroom on his way. What a way to start a morning! So, he had two things to cry about. Harrison helped him into Ian's room so I could comfort him and he laid down on the floor and kind of fell back asleep. He's not feeling well, either.

Harrison says, "He's sort of an empty shell. That means he's very sad." Where does he get this stuff!

Cake and monkey cupcakes were served.




Opening presents! Ian got some adorable jammies, clothes and some great new toys!

The force is with him!

Happy Birthday, Ian!

Finally have the pictures downloaded! Ian's birthday was in the middle of the week, so we just had a normal day and evening with a little present opening before bed.

On Sunday we had a little birthday party for him with a monkey theme. Ian is a very inquisitive little guy. Translation: He's into EVERYTHING! His favorite activities include climbing up on the coffee table (if someone happens to leave something next to the table that will give him a leg up), climbing into baskets and boxes, raiding the pantry, and finding very small things to put in his mouth. He's quick to laugh with his brothers, and loves it when they chase him. He's not so crazy about it when they catch him, though. Anyway, with all of his antics, a monkey theme seemed to fit.





Big brothers loved helping!

The party-boy got a little sleepy half way through his party and needed a little power nap with Grammy.
