Growing and changing!

Oh, it has been a while again. Sorry everyone.

The boys are growing like weeds. Just two days ago Gunner started walking a few steps between me and daddy. Now he is letting go of the couch and taking off! This little boy hides things he can do until he can do them well. And he is quite the handful! Gunner has an attitude and is defiant and devious. Just last night Baylin for some reason decided he wanted to sit in Gunner's space, which caused Gunner to scream and push his brother away with his feet. Then it happened.... Gunner BIT Baylin! oh man.

Baylin is loving his brother, taking care of him, and pestering him. When Baylin gets string cheese, he makes sure that his brother has some. When Gunner cries Baylin will push you out of the way to see what is wrong with him. He is also learning something new and we have no idea where it is coming from.
He is learning how to read. No kidding. The other day Baylin was watching Spongebob Squarepants and the title of the episode came on "Mrs Puff...(something something)" There were no character pictures no queues whatsoever and Bayiln says "Mrs Puff!" Then yesterday I was changing the channel and the little menu at the top of the screen before the show came on said "Fairly Odd Parents" and Baylin says "Parents!" This is before the show came on or any sound came on. Tonight we quizzed him about letters. Out of 5 letters we asked him, he knew 3 of them! We have our hands full with this one too!

Overtime at work has been canceled which means two things: Less money (ouch) and more time with my three boys (or and more sleep, so I guess that is three things). Now that I have more time at home I am seeing all the things that I would like to do with house, like buy huge rubbermaid containers to organize the boys' room, buy a dresser for our room, buy some picture frames to hang. The problem is the operative word in that list BUY. Now that there is no OT, there is no excess money to do such things. Man, I really need OT again! LOL!

I hope all of you are doing well.

Yeah Gunner...those first steps are so exciting :). I am so glad your boys are getting along. Korban was asking just the other day when he was going to get to see Baylin. Too bad about the overtime, I know what it is like to look around a house and see all of the things that need to be done but not have the $ for it...LOL, enjoy the extra time you have with your boys :) We miss you...

I am sorry you lost your OT but I guess in this day and age you have to be glad you have a job.

Thanks for the report on the boys. You sure have cute ones.

Love you.
