Wow, November is here! Why is it that time goes by so fast? I can't believe Maya is 3 months old and the boys are well on their way to being 3! I've been enjoying all of the kids and I'm extremely happy that things are settled and it feels like we've been a family of 5 for a long time. Oh, family of 7, can't forget Bax and Lola.
Speaking of Baxter, he's officially an indoor/outdoor cat. I found that when I got the boys out the door and turned around to grab Maya's car seat, he would sneak out. Of course, instead of leaving all three children unattended, I'd just let him stay outside until he came back. Now, I let him out if he's by the door and he usually stays within a few houses of ours. His consequence for being an outdoor cat was getting 3 shots (rabies, and 2 others) and regular flee prevention. Remember my post a while ago when Baxter went missing and I posted flyer's all over my neighborhood? What a waste of time...
Adam and Jack are doing great. They are talking more and have discovered the excitement of M&M's. They are the best bribe. Like when I'm calling them and they run the opposite way, I just say "who wants Chocey"! And they come running. Yes, chocolate is chocey. Everything they say has a "y" at the end of it. Like when Adam cries "Boxey" he simply wants a "juice box". Their doctor says they are right on track for talking, but we are watching them carefully;) Or when we are in a public place and they yell "sucky!", they are just wanting a sucker (so embarrassing.)
Maya is such a cutie! She smiles and talks all of the time! I thought she might have acid reflux because she was spitting so much, but the doctor informed me that she is a "happy spitter". So between many, many wet bids and several outfit changes during the day, she's a very low maintenance baby.
Can't believe the election is almost over! Finally! Jessi, Maya and I waited in line for 3 1/2 hours today to vote. Besides hoping the candidate I voted for wins, the best part of voting is the sticker they give you. Free Starbucks on Nov.4th for those who voted! Just show them your sticker. No, seriously, I hope everyone gets out there and does their part by voting.
