She Said / He Said

Brooke: I would like a blueberry pancake. And strawberries with syrup. And can I please have a bowl of cereal. First I would like Oh's when you buy an Oh's cereal box. And can I please have Cookie cereal?

In response to a simple "What would you like for breakfast?"

It's Time To Pick The Blueberries!

It's blueberry time again!

When we arrived the kids remembered the hay from the last time were went blueberry picking and actually REQUESTED to take a photo!  Cant say no to that :)

The kids (as usual) decided they knew where the best berries were, and demanded to lead the way.  This time they were right.  The best berries were pretty low ... kid height!

Brooke thought the blueberries made pretty great eyes

 

Ryan made sure to test them.  All of them.

Luke went too.  I'm pretty sure he wont remember it though :)

 

When we got back to Chicago I made blueberry muffins.  Brooke ate one, Ryan thought they were gross.  Personally, I thought they were pretty good.  So ... I ate them all.

First ... Loose Tooth

Brooke went to the dentist for a checkup and was told she has a loose tooth. Not only is it loose, but it's "very loose". We're on Tooth Fairy watch ;)

On another note, we learned Ryan doesn't like birthday cake, grape, or plain flavored toothpaste at the dentist. So while Brooke had a great visit, Ryan's experience was far less enjoyable. Additionally, his sisters good news seemed to make him a wee bit jealous ;)

Luke is 3 months!

Anyone with kids knows the amazing transition that takes place around 3 months. A baby's personality seems to just snap - colic fades and the smiles appear. Its not every baby, but it definitely happened for Luke! The little guy is a smiling machine, whereas just a few weeks ago he spent his days screaming bloody murder. He's cooing and babbling. He's batting at toys. He's a happy little guy. And when Luke is happy, EVERYONE is happy.

He doesn't go into the doctor until his 4 month checkup, so I'm not sure how long he is. However, a weight check today put him at 17.6 lbs!
