J-mo is 3!

Well despite Jameson saying he didn't want to get bigger, my boy turned three! Initially he was excited knowing after Kaden's party was his but then suddenly and very seriously he declared he wanted to stay little! He said he needed to find a way and was going to "talk to his teacher, Mr Cornjacks (at pirate school)and see if he knew a magic way to stay little. As his birthday got closer he seemed less concerned about growing older and more focused on cake, his party and presents!
He had a lovely pirate party at camp with all his best buds over the weekend and on his actual birthday, Thursday got to go to Dunkin donuts to get a coolata and donuts for breakfast, then to dance class where his friends sang to him.  He came home and ate lunch and icecream cake and opened a couple of presents from us.  He was delighted with gummy bears and a jake the pirate book and notebook!  Then off to the older kids' track meet. The town of Casco even had fireworks for him on his birthday! He continues to celebrate by having us put candles in left over cake and sign each time he eats some. (And by eat some, I mean lick the frosting off!)
The kid is a delight! He has the best manners. He thanks us for everything and always rushes to the door when I get home from work to ask how my day was.  It's adorable. He says he is going to be a football player when he grows up. he loves eggs, blueberries and Mac and cheese. He likes to jump on the "bounce-O-leen" and swing, read (the same books over and over again) and play with the big boys. Jake the pirate is his favorite show (only one really).  He continues to be an amazing big brother- not a day goes by where he doesn't say, "oh they're so cute!" I had said I would cut his hair by his 3rd birthday, but I take it back.  It's so curly and lovely in the summer heat- maybe in the fall...

Bad blog

I just noticed all these old posts that never published and told them to "retry" but now the post dates all show as today and I won't ever know when Ainsley really cut her tooth or when the post titled "last week" really took place.  I'm so annoyed.  Grrrrr

Step up Day

This girl is "stepping up" to the middle school today!  What?!?!?

Teeth

It's harder than you'd think to get pictures of the teeth!  Ainsley's got 2 now and Brinley has one that just broke the surface!

Last week

Lots of exciting things happened here last week!

Brinley slept through the night for the first time Sunday night (and second time Later in the week)

Brinley's first tooth broke the surface Monday.

Colton had a weight check on Wednesday and is up to 13-7.

Kaden got an improvement award for addition and subtraction at the school assembly.

Spring finally appeared!

Friday night was the first time 2 babies slept thru the night at the same time.  So I only got up once!

It was picture day at dance.  (I'll post some photos that M allowed me to take!)

Triplet update

I guess with kids 4,5 and 6 it was bound to happen... I haven't documents their well baby visits on here like I should, I rarely put updates on what they are doing and only post pictures once every now and then.  Things are busy here to say the least but I need to find the time to share because I do love looking back at what I've written about the older kids.

Today was exciting for a few reasons.  Brinley passed Ainsley in the race for the most teeth.  She must have cut #3 and 4 overnight.  Ainsley's only got 3, Colton still just one.

Today Ainsley signed more for the first time!  She's the first to do that!  She really likes eating so it makes sense...

Yesterday Colton started saying" uh oh!" He did it a few times.  So cute!

Less exciting and more annoying... Ainsley has figured out how to escape from her high chair and crawl across the table :( she is trouble.

The girls have been letting go when they are standing now too.  I haven't seen Colton try that yet though.
