19 weeks: Ruby starts Kindergarten

Ruby started school this week! She was pretty nervous going into it and had trouble sleeping for a few nights. But once she started, she loved it. She's really good at making friends, and has done great so far.

Reid has been off the hook lately, he is so hilarious. And also so naughty. We're currently working on not saying things in a whiny voice at meals.

Miles got his first tooth! And his next one is coming in soon too. That has made for some very bad nights of sleep and lots of fussiness. I'm hoping once these ones are in, we'll get at least a little break before the next ones. Poor guy.

Some funny quotes from this week: 

While Ruby was at her first day of school, I said, "I love my little boys." And Reid said, "And you love your little girl that's at school! Your little Ruby."

Reid: Mom, I have something to whisper in your ear.

I lean over..

Reid: Poop. Hahahahahahahahaha.

At breakfast one morning, Ruby had her vitamins and said (in a British accent), "Be careful, babies, not to get eaten. There are sharks around."

 Baby nap time. <3

 Miles had his 4 month checkup on Tuesday, and I had to take all three kids with me... They all did great though. Ruby read to Reid in the waiting room.

 Big baby! He weighed in at 17lbs 1oz, and 27 inches long! He also got 3 shots. :(

 They were playing tractor with the stirrups on the bed. Bahahahaha!!!!!

Chubby guy. He's doing great. 

 Ruby started school on Wednesday! She was so excited.

 We all drove her over there for her first day. Since then she's been riding the bus. Reid and Ruby were sad to be apart.

 Making new friends. This is Annabel.

And Mr. Fussy Pants. I've had to carry him in the Ergo a lot lately. He even napped like this a few times this week.

 

 And then POP! His first tooth came through. You can barely see it in this picture, but it's like a little razor in there.

 Picking up Ruby from the bus stop. It's at the end of our street, and he likes to bring a toy to play with while we wait.

 Always reading.

 Boys!!!

 Reid and I did Preschool on Thursday. He loved it! We learned A, B, and number 1.

 He's great at counting.

 Cutie pie. He is so chatty.

 He's starting to sit up a little, with help.

 He had so much fun playing with his toy.

 Picking up Ruby from the bus. Some days she comes home super hot and exhausted. Kindergarten takes some getting used to I think.

 He loves grabbing her face.

 On Saturday we went to the library to get some books and things. Reid played puppets.

 Ruby told a story with birds and flowers.

 They all played Magna Tiles and all three equally had a good time.

On the way out our street, we saw a "For rent" sign with 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths. So I called right away, and then we went and looked at it that afternoon. We decided to get it! It's a lot roomier than our current place and with one more bedroom. And only $80/month more, which is definitely doable. It will be so nice to have that extra bedroom and toilet. :) We move at the end of the month.

 She was trying to figure out something to spell with her bath letters, and this is what she came up with. Hahaha

 Brothers.

 Such a smiley guy.

 Reid on the left, Miles on the right both at 4 months.

 Everything is a fun toy to a little boy.

 Andy turned 33 on Sunday! He had fun doing crossword puzzles and logic problems with the kids. We made a yummy dinner, and Patty and Becca came over for that and apple pie.

 Trying out his high chair! He does good for a little while, but doesn't love it yet for longer times.

 Morning snuggle time.

 We took Reid across the river to watch them build a new beach.

 He's holding himself up really well now.

Puzzle time!

 Post-library reading. 

 Such a cute guy.

 Attempting to fix our washing machine. The gears are grinding. :/ Thankfully they have a set we can use at our new house, so we don't need these ones.

Diaper baby. His umbilical hernia has definitely gotten some better.
