The latest. A brain dump.

Gavin: Cutest Kindergartener around! This kid loves school. I take mental pictures of him turning and waving to me over and over as he walks up the sidewalk to his classroom. There's something awesome about the age where he still will love me in public and yell "I love you, mom!" at me from the playground.  The other day we were driving and Gavin looked at the window and saw the sunset.  "Isn't that beautiful, mom?"  So sweet.  He's learning to read and is pretty sure he's the best student in his class.  He loves a good knock knock joke and is learning to deliver them pretty dang well.  One night over dinner we did jokes for at least 20 minutes straight and he was laughing like I've never seen him.  He's my best helper!

McKay: Still marching to the beat of his own drum, as I'm sure he always will.  He's at a fun age and is turning into a big boy.  He officially stopped napping this month.  Hurray!  Bedtime has been 100% better.  By 8:00pm he's so stinkin' tired that he just lays down and sleeps.  For Mr. Energizer Bunny, this is a great thing.  We have fun one-on-one time while Gavin is at school and Jonah naps.  We cook, we color, we clean, we jump.  He loves mommy school and is starting to identify some letters.  He loves me to jump on the tramp with him.  He always tells me which ninja color I will be and tells me how to do the moves right.  He loves watching Power Rangers and Super Hero Squad. McKay is also a pantry thief whenever we go anywhere.  

Jonah: Happy as ever!  He is loud and so squealy!  A week away from 7 months, he rolls and isn't safe to leave on a bed anymore.  We are making the switch to a bottle.  He was getting lazy eating and I don't know if it wasn't enough or what.  Who am I kidding - I'm getting a little lazy too.  I have moments of guilt but then I look at his 20 pound chubby, rolly deliciousness and think, "I made him that big!  What do I have to feel guilty about?"  I think we did a good job.  He loves his baby food - everything but peas.  He's doing two two-hour naps a day now.  Jonah loves his brothers who can always get a laugh out of him by sticking their fingers under his chin.  He loves to watch them play and I'm sure it will be no time before he gets in on the action.
