9 Month and 3 Yr Check ups

Wednesday we conquered our dr. check ups for all 3 boys.  It was a busy day for them we started with swimming lessons.  It is down the street from the dr. office so I must have thought we were so close we should just go after they are over. Not exactly sure of my train of thought at the time but that's my guess.  Swimming lessons mind you are at noon so then I made appointments for 2.  Yes you are thinking to yourself when will they take a nap?  Good question apparently I thought missing naps would be no big deal. 

Well I wasn't far off, they actually did wonderful.  We were home in the morning to make sure Parker could take his morning nap ( which he sometimes misses when we are on the go). We went to swimming, got extra play time in the water to kill some time.  We then got boys dressed and headed to the dr. office.  Got in and stripped down baby boy and our wonderful nurse Jill started weighing and checking out the boys.  They all did wonderful and considering everyone listened pretty well. Parker was the only one that got a shot and finger prick.  I had promised boys if they were really good listeners that I would take them out for ice cream.  That is exactly what they got.  They both go to make their very own bowl and thought it was so cool.  Parker got his own little yogurt melts as his reward and was happy as well.  

They are growing up so fast so hard to believe.

Monkey Business Party

We went with Monkey Business for the boys birthday party this year.  I couldn't come up with a better option then running and jumping for these 2 little monkeys to celebrate their day.  Let me tell you we made a good choice because they had a ball.  I was loving the fact that I didn't have to clean the house, get plates, cut the cake or pick up afterward. I was in heaven having the nice Monkey business employee do it all for me.  I was short one hand anyways having Parker asleep on my hip.   Cohen loves climbing anything he possibly can and Cooper wasn't to far behind him.  I could watch kids run around play and laugh all day long. It makes my heart melt just to watch them love life without a care in the world.  We couldn't have asked for a better day and thank you to all that came to celebrate with us.  The boys had so much fun and were showered with love.
