Some little things about my boys!!

So, first I want to say that we are in the process of updating out kitchen. What a process. I did almost all the priming today so when Carrie comes on Thursday we don't have as much to do. I do have before pictures and I'm sure there will be after pictures as well. I'm just so excited to have it be done, especially since it's the last room in the house to do!

Now for the boys. Paolo has been saying a lot of little things latley that I have no idea where he is hearing them or what makes him say them. I'm going to list a few of them here so I can rememeber them too.

• The other night, about a month ago, even though the ground is completely covered with snow, as Stefan was tucking Paolo in he all the sudden said to Stefan, "daddy, I jump in leaves, wee haw!!" Stefan started laughing so hard. It was totally random but apparently something that he remembers from fall.




• He likes to watch spongebob in the mornings, ok all the time if he could, and a few weeks ago he was sitting on the floor in my bedroom, with his little feet crossed like he ALWAYS sits, and he started laughing at s-bob and said, "oh man, that great!"




• We went to the cities a week or so ago to see my brother and his wife. My sister and Brian and my parents all went down too. Paolo must have gotten use to going so many different places because now if we go more than one place he will always ask, "where we going next mommy?"




• Another thing that he has been saying since the cities is whenever we go somewhere that he hasn't been he will say, "what is this place?" Once he is told he usually follows it up with, "oh, yeah, I know." He says that to practically everything.




• On Saturday Stefan was at work and we were going to go to the home depot after. Since he took the van with the car seats in it, I was going to take the bus with the boys over to his office and then all of us go in the van. Paolo through a fit about going on the bus. I finally got him to the bus stop, which is across the street from our house, and he kept saying, "I need to go in my house right now for a minute." I kept saying no. Then he just wanted me to pick him up. He kept saying, "up, up, mommy up, up." I as I'm holding Aiden, I managed to pick him up. Luckily the bus was only two blocks away. Then when he could see the bus he got all excited. On the trip, which is about 30 minutes or so depending on stops, every time the bus would stop for someone he would say, "someone else coming on right now." Then as soon as the bus started going again, he would say, "silly bus." The best part was at random times through out the trip he kept saying, "I still can't believe this mom!" It was so fun.




• The other thing that he has started is wanting to know what I'm always drinking. If it's water or milk or juice he just says "oh, yeah, I know." If it's pop, he will say, "I need pop now too mom." I'll tell him he can have it when he is older, same thing with hard candies, and he says, "I want to be bigger right now mom." What a silly boy.

Aiden is getting bigger and bigger every day. He is going for his four month appointment this Friday, which means more shots. He is going to be bigger than Paolo I'm sure of it. He is also rolling over. Today he rolled onto him tummy, to his back, then tummy, then back without stopping. He always looks so proud when he gets to his tummy. He is still an easy baby. Really only cries when he gets put in his car seat or is hungry. He is starting to teeth so he's a little sad some times but that's about it. He also got his first hair cut last weekend. He was the youngest to ever get his hair cut at the great clips we took him too.

That's all for now. Back to my kitchen. We also got a new toilet, vanity, and sink for our bathroom that is presently sitting in my bedroom still in the boxes. Some day they will get put in, hopefully some day soon.

a little of what's going on

So, we are getting family pictures taken this Saturday. I was shopping today for a shirt for Aiden to wear. Do you know how hard it is to find a polo shirt for a little guy? Wouldn't you think that Walmart or Target would have them? Well, I thought they would and no....nothing. I DID get a really cute shirt for Paolo and a black (I talked Stefan into us wearing black and the boys wearing color) shirt for Stefan. I have a black one that I'm am planning on wearing. I think I saw the little guy polos at Kohls so I'm making a trip there on Thursday. Stay tuned for family pictures.

This weekend the UWS men's hockey team is doing a REALLY cool game on Friday sponsored by the Superior Jaycees, which I am a member of. We are doing PINK THE RINK. All the players are going to be wearing pink hockey jerseys and we are trying to get the fans to all wear pink shirts too. The shirt are really cool. I tried to find a link to put a picture of the shirts on here but it didn't work. You can check it out at www.superiorjaycees.com if you really want to. It's an awesome event with all the proceeds going to breast cancer research. Stefan and I will be volunteering at this event and it is so awesome to see the cancer survivors that come and have tears in their eyes (we did one game last weekend too at a women's game) when they thank you.

Brothers

This is the photo that we used this year for our Christmas cards. Paolo LOVES his little brother and is always giving him hugs and kisses. The first few days when Aiden came home from the hospital, Paolo had a hard time understanding what had just happened to the life he had always known. All of the sudden he had to share us with this new baby. He adjusted quite quickly and has been such a great big brother. He likes to show off his brother and gets very concerned when Aiden is crying. Aiden in return loves to look and watch Paolo. He is always smiling at his big brother and Paolo of course loves that too.

I can not believe that I have these two beautiful little guys!! Aiden is such a great baby too!! He usually is very happy and mellow. If he is hungry or cold then he gets a little sad but still doesn't really CRY.

I love being a mom so much and Stefan just loves being a dad too. We are looking forward to them growing up and playing together and just watching them grow up with each other. Paolo won't even remember what life was like before his brother.

First Blog

So, after much consideration, I have decided to start trying to blog for my family. I have enjoyed reading other people's blogs and decided that if I actually kept up with it, this would be a great way to keep people updated on us and our happenings.

There is not much going on now with our family. Paolo is fully potty trained and it has made life so much easier. The only thing that we need to still work on is the night time training. If any one knows a good way to do that, let me know.

We are having our first professional family pictures since Aiden was born taken this Saturday. I am so excited and I hope that Paolo will sit still long enough to get some great pictures of him, the family and the boys together.
