Well, it's official.... We have a walker! Max is taking 10+ steps at a time and walking more and more on his own.
This month we had more beach time. My mom, brother and Johnny and Lucas came out to visit us. We rented a beach house in Mission Bay and made lots and lots of memories swimming, biking, flying kites, and having endless water gun fights. The house had a pool, a hot tub, it was steps to the beach and it included beach cruiser bikes, stand up paddle boards, and kayaks! Johnny loved being able to bike along the boardwalk and the little boys loved sitting on the end of the paddle boards while we paddled. The 3 older boys slept in one room with bunk beds - although we didn't trust any of them to sleep on the top so we put one of the mattresses on the floor! Getting them all to sleep at night was quite the fiasco but it certainly will make so many memories. Lucas would beg to go into the pool about as soon as he was up. The kids spent all day jumping in and out of the pool and hot tub. We even brought a small pool for Maxipoo! We also wandered to the oceanside (we were on the bayside) of the beach one day so they could see and play in the big waves.
We were also able to celebrate my mom's birthday all together which was just wonderful. We started her big day off by getting family photos. Believe it or not the boys all cooperated and I think we got some really great photos. I can't wait to see how they turned out. We haven't seen the proofs yet but I'll be sure to post them when we do. Johnny had been dying to go to Legoland so we also made a trip there. It was the first time Kam and I had been as well but all of the boys really enjoyed it. Unfortunately, it was pretty hot that day and the lines were long but the boys didn't seem to mind. Johnny said he wanted to ride his first roller coaster but then he changed his mind in line :-) Lucas and Kam were a little small to ride a lot of the rides but with a little white lie they were able to ride this horse ride. they were supposed to be 36 inches AND 4 years old both were definitely tall enough and they passed the test when asked how old they were hehehe. Here's the video.
Speaking of tall - Kam is growing like a leaf - he grew another inch in just a few months. We've been measuring him on the door frame in the garage and he just keeps growing and growing. While he's getting taller and skinnier, Max is just getting rounder :-) That kid LOVES to eat. He really does eat anything and everything. Max's been outside so much this Summer he even has tan lines in his wrist rolls. He's now intrigued by feeding other people as well. He loves to share his food by shoving it in your mom if you are holding him. Hey, at least he likes to share! Max is working on his first molar, or his 9th tooth. He gets fussy from time to time but not too bad considering how much pain he must be in. Max will also give lots of wet kisses with tongue. He loves to wave and babble occasionally saying dada, mama, hi, and duck.
Kam's imagination is exploding. He's still obsessed with all things super heroes and now makes us play along with him. I often find myself playing 'evil hydra' or being 'all trapped up' by spider man (Kam's webs). At night after I put him in bed and say his prayers he says 'now batman' and I have to sing the batman song. Then he will say "and spiderman?" and I have to sing that. Sometime's he will throw me for a loop and I say "and joker?" or some superhero that doesn't have a song and I will tell him "Mommy doesn't know that one, how does it go?" and he usually just makes up a tune and says "Joker joker joker" or something along those lines. Cracks me up.
Kam's language is also really exploding. He will say things like "I need to ask you a question" (his favorite bedtime stall tactic' or 'Almost forgot my blanket' but it really sounds like 'most forgot' He will also 'taddle' on himself. Every night when I get home from work I always ask him how his days was. Lately he tells me what he did wrong. For example he said "I climbed the stairs, I wanted to watch TV in your room, I got a time out" hehehe or he says "I pushed Mila" I wonder how much longer that will last until he figures out he's telling on himself. He's also on a donut kick and been asking Al to take him to get donuts in the mornings so maybe he's smarter than I think. Other funny things Kam says: "want some dude?" he calls Max "maxi poo poo" and will say "i need to climb the walls" when he pretends to be spiderman. He asks for privacy now while using the restroom. If I go in there with him he will say "a little privacy?" and then point to the door like I should walk out! haha
I can't believe I'm busy planning a 1st AND 3rd birthday party for the boys next month. How is it possible I will have a 3 and 1 year old. I'll give you one guess what the theme is.
