Sunday, lazy Sunday!

After our busy, busy week, we have had a nice and relaxing Sunday. DadOf3's birthday was last weekend and I bought him Super Mario Kart. The kids LOVE it, especially the Prince. We have had a great time playing it this week and today was no exception.


My little Prince will turn 5 years old tomorrow! How time flies! I remember being so worried about Princess and wondering how she would react to a new sibling. I was one week overdue with the Prince, and I was SO ready to have him. He just didn't want to come out though, so we had to induce. One very special thing about him being so early was that my mother was able to be with us in the delivery room. He was a big baby weighing in at 9 pounds and 13 ounces. When I had him, the doctor looked up and said, "Well, you just lost 10 pounds!" And she was right! After his birth, they went over to weigh and measure him, and he peed all over the nurse, my mom, and his daddy! It was like he had been holding it for 9 months. Ha!


He was the sweetest baby and smiled right away - at just a little over a month old. Grandma and Papa were here to witness it. Princess loved her little brother right away and wanted to help him in any way she could. She especially liked to pick out diapers and pull out wipes for me. When he started to smile, he saved the biggest and best smiles for his big sister.


My little Prince was not in a hurry to crawl. he waited until he was 10 months old, but once he started there was no stopping him. Before he crawled, he could still get around though. He rolled! And rolled and rolled and rolled. He was so strong that he could pull himself up and cruise along the couch before he could crawl. He waited to walk until he was 14 months old, but he picked a great place for his first steps: my parents' house! It was so awesome that they were able to witness something so special.


Happy Almost Birthday, my little Prince. I love you more than words can say.
