Cuties

Emma is a funny girl.  She says and does so many things that crack me up.  I wish I would remember to write them all down!!  She is so smart and witty.  "Mommy.  Riley is making me get sick.  He just bless-you-ed (sneezed) on my face twice!!"  HAHA  Today she insisted on eating her breakfast in the highchair.  Which, she stopped having her meals in around two years old.  I told her I thought she was a little bit too big, but she wanted to anyway.  What do you think??

Riley is growing too dang fast.  He has the cutest little personality.  He loves to put everything in his mouth.  His hands, feet, his shirt... He has been loving baby food.  His favs are apple sauce and sweet potatoes.  He is so happy and sweet.  He will even sit in the swing, totally awake, while I take care of a few things around the house.  Check him out!

My Spencer dude is crazy!  He loves to get into trouble.  The day after he got his stitches out he decided it would be fun to take all of the clothes out of the changing table/dresser.  And then jump head first into them from the top of the changing table!!  What is the result of this???!!!  Ripping open a part of his cut!!  It was healing PERFECTLY!!  Now it is a bit red and does not look nearly as nice as it did before.  We are hoping for the best.  He is really into puzzles lately.  He does them A LOT.  He is talking more and more.  He repeats everything that you say to him.  He has the best giggle EVER!! 

Ninny Muggins

Riley is such an easy baby.  It's amazing!  When it's nap time or bedtime he goes to sleep.  No fuss, no crying.  Most of the time he is awake when I lay him down, and I never hear a peep!  He is always happy and smiling.  He just sits there and takes it when Emma is in his face or when Spencer pokes him.  The first time I gave him baby food, he ate it no problem.  I think Heavenly Father knew that I had a boy with the Terrible Twos and a four year old with attitude.  So, I got easy-going Baby Riley.  I really hope he stays this way!  :)  I love him so very much and am so glad to have him in our family!  (Shaun calls him Cotton-Headed Ninny Muggins : ) From Elf.   Don't know why, but it's pretty funny!)

Bye-Bye Baby Mullet!!

Yes, we did it!  We cut Riley's baby mullet.  With Emma we waited nine months to cut her mullet and Spencer had his first haircut when he was a little over one year old.  We debated and decided to cut Riley's hair sooner, rather than later.  He is four and a half months old and had his first haircut.  He looks so different!  He looks so old!!  But, I'm glad we cut it.  He did look a little silly with his hair the way it was.  But, I do kind of miss his silly hair.  : )  I took him to Cool Cuts For Kids, by Arrowhead.  The lady was very nice.  They had this sweet, double head cape.  There was a hole for my head and a hole for Riley's head.  He was so good!  Like he always is!!  He just sat there and drooled all over the cape.  The lady did such a good job.  He looks like a little man!

Stitches

Spencer got his very first stitches this week. 
He was being a rascal, running around the house.  I was in the kitchen talking to Shaun on the phone. (he was on his way home from work)  I hear Spencer screaming and crying.  I run into the living room to see what happened.  He looks up at me and there is a hole in his forehead and blood gushing out of it.  I was so scared!  I told Shaun, "Spencer needs stitches, he is bleeding, I gotta go!!"  I pick him up and hold a towel to his head.  Get dressed as fast as we can and race to the hospital.  I was really worried, because he was acting strange.  Very lethargic, eyes rolling around in his head.  Shortly after we got to the ER he started acting more like himself.  He ended up with 8 stitches.  One which is under the skin.  It was DEEP!!  I hope he doesn't scar too badly! 
This is what he hit his head on:
