Playing Favorites

Several of you have oh so kindly brought it to my attention that I am playing favorites. I assure you it has not been intentional. Just to clear things up. we are expecting baby #4 next January. I am 11.5 weeks along. I look much farther along than I am (guess that is what happens by the fourth kiddo.) Yes I have been sick. No I was not sick with the boys (at least not this sick.) Yes I have been to the doctor (twice now) and no it is not twins (man do I get that question a lot, I did with Ethan as well) No I do not want to find out the gender, but Tony said too bad this kid has used up its surprise and that he will be finding out the gender. (party pooper) The heartbeat is really fast (much faster than any of the boys). This supposedly means it is a girl. It really dosen't matter to us as long as it is healthy (cliche', huh) Ethan is hoping for a sister, Blake had said he wanted another brother but today he informed me that he dosen't care what it is, he will love it anyway. (I guess this is his way of coping with the fact that it might be a sister, not sure) Chase is blissfully unaware that his days as the baby are numbered. He did however move himself out of the crib last week (thanks...that worked out well.) We un-bunked the bunk beds and he and Ethan are now roommates. Blake has his own room now and is anxious to get it decorated. The baby will have his/her own room as well. I must say that I am pleasantly surprised at how well the little boys are doing at the room sharing. Ethan loves sharing a room with Chase and Chase thinks he is a real big boy. So far we haven't had any problems getting them to sleep. The only problem we have is that if Ethan does wake up in the middle of the night (which he does about every other night) and leaves the door open, Chase will get out of bed and come downstairs in the wee hours of the morning. I have had to take him back to bed at 5;00 and 6:30 on two separate occasions this week. The good thing is that he goes right back to sleep until 7;30 or 8:00. Sorry, no pics to accompany this post. I will try to get some on this week.

Ethan's turn

Happy Father's Day pics. What a happy crew! (The neck tie has Ethan's picture on it and Blake made the crown for him.)
Look Mom, I got dressed all by myself. (those are Diego pajama shorts he has on)
Yum, I love pancakes!! Our neighbor (and the boys favorite babysitter) came over this morning and made them pancakes. Ethan was the only one awake early enough to help make them.

Blake is ready to go

I took Blake to get a helmet today. He was so excited. We got him the smallest one made and it is a little big, but not much. He wore it tonight while riding his bike so he can get used to the feel of it. He loved it, said it felt great!! I am sure the neighbors think it is overkill!! He got some strange looks from a few evening walkers, not that he paid them any attention.

He is also very excited to have helmet head...just like his Papa does.

The Many Faces of Chase

Can Zoe come swimming with us?

Giddyup!
What are those two in the back so excited about...naptime?

Yesterday morning, Chase and Ethan were eating breakfast and Ethan was making Chase laugh. Chase tried to make Ethan laugh, but it wasn't really working out....so, he put his cereal bowl half full of milk and little rice krispies upside down on his head. Ethan died laughing and so did Chase. I still have not found the humor in the situation, maybe once I stop finding little rice krispies all over the place it will be funny.

Chase LOVES apples and he is so funny when he eats them.
