Ha, Ha, Ha!
Maya had her first giggles today. It was so cute. I was holding her above my head pretending she was an airplane. She kept smiling big then shared a laugh. My heart melted! She's growing so fast. I just cleaned her summer clothes out of her closet. I can't believe my baby girl is growing out of some of her clothes.
The boys and I took advantage of the last nice fall day. It was warm and in the 70's. We made a huge leaf pile. We ended up raking our neighbors yard to get enough to jump in. Adam especially enjoyed throwing leaves and Jack liked running through them. It was a great day!

She's a keeper!
I got Maya this cool new seat. It's just her size and I love the versatility of it.
The boys were so cute sharing their new toys with their sister. I think they finally have realized that she is here to stay!
Of course, Jack liked that fact that he could share if he wanted and he could take the toys back when he wanted also. Maya doesn't put up a fight....yet.
And she loves being able to interact with her brothers too!

November is here
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.

Halloween!!
The boys had a fun Halloween. Even though tomorrow is actually halloween, our neighborhood had "trick-or-treating" today. Yesterday we carved all the pumpkins and make chocolate cupcakes with halloween sprinkles. Adam was very interested in the carving pumpkins activity, Jack on the other hand really didn't care.
Both the boys liked wearing their costumes. Adam loved his skunk costume so much that Chad had to practially tear it off him to put his p.j.'s on. They are now asleep after having a major sugar high. I kept catching Adam with a different candy in his mouth, so I'm not sure how much he actually ate. And Chad caught Jack hiding behing the couch eating a peanut butter cup.
Maya was super cute in her cow outfit. We have an older couple that lives across the street, so they held Maya while Chad and I took the boys to get some candy. I attempted to get a picture of all the kids, but you know how well that always goes.

Almost there...
I'm still trying for a good picture of all the kids together. In these pictures, I was trying to pose the kids while Lorraine was bribing them with M&M's. I'm hoping with all of these "practice" pictures our Christmas picture turns out okay. I think I'm going to need professional help!

Still trying...
I can't seem to get a good picture of the boys with Maya. I'll try again when Lorraine gets here next week. Chad's going to London next week, so Nana is coming to save the day (and my sanity!)

She rolled!
Twice. She rolled twice! I love the little things in life! Of course, it's not so little to Miss Maya. She's a big girl now!!

Doctor's Visit
Maya had her 2 month check up today. She is a whopping 9 lbs 10 oz! She's also 21.75 inches, which makes her 25 percentile for height and weight. She's so petite! The funny thing is that she also has a small head, which is 15 percentile. Maya was a champ taking her shots. She took 5 total in her legs. Though she cried hard, she more complained and "baby bitched" afterwards. The nurse was convinced she was cursing her!
The worst part of the doctor's visit was that Adam started yelling "no" as soon as we pulled up to the building. He wasn't convinced he wasn't the one getting shots until we left the office and he was buckled in the car. Jack really didn't care we were there as long as I kept bribing him with suckers. I have a feeling when we go back for their flu shots it's going to be traumatic.

Save the ta-ta's!!!
Jessi and I ran a 5K this morning to help bring awareness about breast cancer. Remember, it all starts with early detection. Any woman over the age of 40 should be getting a yearly mammogram. For more infomation go to www.cancer.org.

10 naughty things the boys did today...
1. Put the dog food in the dog water
2. Threw the cat food on the floor
3. Put stickers on the t.v.
4. Rolled the pumpkins off the front step
5. Hit each other several times
6. Took Maya's binky out of her mouth
7. Gave their hotdogs to Lola
8. Dumped my cup of water on the floor
9. Put rocks in their mouths
10. Knocked on the neighbors door then ran
You'd think I wasn't watching them, but I was. I swear I feel like all I say is "NO" all day long! 1 hour and 40 minutes until my "sweet babies" go to bed! TGIF!
