Trey the 'big boy'

Now that I have finally caught up a little bit here, I realized that I forgot Trey's first day of preschool for this year..which was on August 30th.

I was a little worried because he has only ever been to school with Tucker, so going on his own could be scary. During summer he went back and forth between being super excited to go on his own to asking to skip his last year of preschool and just go to kindergarten with Tucker. But on the first day, he walked into the classroom, realized it is the exact same as is was before and didn't have any hesitation. He told me I should leave. I was happy there were no tears! He is becoming such a big boy!

He is still loving school, on days he doesn't have school, he asks to go and when I tell him he has school for the day he says "yes, I love school" I am so thankful for his preschool and the teachers there. We LOVE the school.

The first picture is of Trey's mean face (the face batman makes at the bad guys) and he insisted on wearing his backpack like that. Then he did make a nice face for the second picture. Oh and if you notice his shoes..his laces aren't tied...Trey had a special way of tucking in the laces...it was 'his' way of tying!

10 Months Old!

Why oh why is Ty so old already!!! He is growing so fast and it makes me sad..before I know it he will be a year old! Ty's personality is really starting to show through. He knows what he wants and what he doesn't want. And boy oh boy does he get MAD if he doesn't get his way or if, for example, I give him his sippy cup and he doesn't want it, he throws it or hits it away! He is cracking me up because he will crawl away from me (usually chasing after the cat) and I tell him to come back and he looks back at me and he babbles back at me. I LOVE it...it's so cute. He is still into everything and his favorite place to explore it the kitchen.


He is getting so close to walking..I wish he would just do it already!! He is standing up from the ground without any help and then he usually tries to take a step or two. The most I have ever seen him take is 5, but Vinny saw him take 7. I love the little Frankenstein walk! He is so proud of himself for walking...he thinks he is big!




Ty hasn't been napping very good lately, so I was shocked when he fell asleep in the high chair. It was in there less than 5 minutes before he was passed out cold..he still had food in his hand and in his mouth (which I fished out as soon as I snapped the pictures and picked him up out of the chair). He also has been very restless at night..so that is definitely a bummer..hopefully he will go back to his normal sleeping self soon!

Ty's little teeth finally broke through! They are so cute..the bottom right came in first and then about a week later the bottom left came in. I sure do love them little 'teef' but I miss his gummy smile!


Ty is still a good eater, but he is getting picky sometimes. There are times when he only wants finger foods (which is getting hard to find a variety of healthy options for him all the time) and then sometimes he is content with regular baby food. He had yogurt for the first time the other day and he is so funny eating it because it's cold so he kind of smacks his mouth and 'chews' slowly. He LOVES peas, cooked whole peas...not the pureed kind. We have given him a taste of ice cream and he is CRAZY about it anytime anyone has any kind of ice cream or popsicle he screams until he gets a bite and will keep screaming until he gets more.

New Washer!!

One day I noticed some water on the floor in our laundry room and realized it was from our washer...so I'm sad to report that the washing machine we have had since we were still dating (that Vinny got for free for signing a year lease on an apartment) finally bit the dust.) I'm a pretty sentimental girl, so it made me sad, but at least I got something pretty awesome to replace it! Now I need the matching the drier, but one thing at a time!

The boys thought it was pretty cool too!

Friday Night = PJ Movie Night

Since Tucker is now a big kindergartner and it seems like he is ALWAYS at school, we are trying to make even more out of our family time...so we have designated Friday nights as PJ movie night. We all get in our pjs and make a "blanket" bed on the floor in the living room and watch a family movie together! We all love it..we try to watch a new movie (or new to the boys at least). Last Friday we watched Prince of Persia..which was a big hit! We are going to try to do this every Friday!

This is a picture from one of the movie nights..and is probably one of my favorite pictures I have of all 3 boys together!

How can this be??

How the heck is September almost over and I haven't posted anything...not a SINGLE ONE!!! At least this time it is NOT because I am being a slacker (which, let's face it, is usually the case ;P) We have just been SO busy! School is in full swing for both boys and they recently started baseball...which has turned into much, MUCH more of a *thing* than I thought it would be. Vinny's dad has been going through treatment for his leukemia and while not in the hospital, he has been staying with us. I was barely making it by with only our regular things going on...and adding these extras....well...let's just say there isn't a whole lot of free time around here. (Last night I was asleep by 9:30...so I'm up past my usually bed time just to post this one...I figured I needed to at least post a little bit on here, so you don't think that we fell off the face of the earth or something!)

As always (when I haven't posted in awhile...I'll leave you with a promise) I promise to *try* and post some new things on here soon..but no guarantees :D Oh ya and HAPPY FALL!!!
