O's six month pictures

Our little stinker

I'll spare you the picture (although I really did take one the first time), but Landry pooped on the potty today for the second time! We were having potty time this evening and Camden and Landry were both begging for a bath. We kept telling them no. (We really do bathe them, I promise. They had a shower with me earlier in the day, and we felt like that should have been enough for one day.) They kept on and on, so I spouted off "if you make poopy on the potty I'll put you in the bath", knowing that it would never happen. Sure enough, my stubborn baby girl had to show me up by pinching one off! Fortunately for me, Camden couldn't manage a poop, so I didn't have to bathe them. I suck, right?

Our sweet O is 5 months old!

Owen turned five months old on Wednesday. I know I've said it before, but he is SUCH a sweet baby. He doesn't complain about anything except being hungry or sleepy. He chills out in his papasan chair or on his activity mat and soaks in all the craziness of his brother and sister. He LOVES when Camden and/or Landry stop and talk to him or give him hugs and kisses. He's got the sweetest little smile, but laughs like an 85 year old with emphysema! He's rolling over occasionally, but really doesn't seem too interested in reaching his developmental milestones early. I must say that while it's always exciting to watch your kids do something new, I won't be too upset if he does things slower than the other two. He'll be chasing behind them soon enough, and I'm not about to rush it this go 'round!

Landry's 21 months old, and I'm blogtarded

So it's apparent that I have had a very difficult time keeping this blog up properly over the past few months. I'm not sure if having a third kid is to blame for that or if it's the time sucker known as facebook that keeps me preoccupied. It's probably a little bit of both.

The kids are all doing great. Camden and Landry are still using the potty periodically, though neither one has any interest in keeping a dry diaper. We just keep telling ourselves that it'll come . . . one of these days. Owen's still a super happy and super easy baby. He's rolled back to front several times. We haven't actually witnessed these rolls, we just find him in his new position after the fact.

But the reason for this post is because Landry Lu turned 21 months old on Saturday. She's still quite the firecracker. She keeps up with Camden with no problem whatsoever. They seem to be getting along a little better lately. The pushing/shoving has lessened . . . for now. She'll be kicking his rear in no time! The saving grace is that they still like to hug and kiss (which we think is the sweetest thing ever) . . . for now. Only three more months until we celebrate her second birthday!

Landry peed on the potty!

Camden's been using the potty a few times a day for about 3 weeks now. We plopped him down on the big potty and put Landry on the training potty before their baths tonight and she did it!

Our little caboose is 4 months old!

Owen turned 4 months old yesterday. Where has the time gone? He's babbling up a storm, giggling like an old man, trying to pull his knees up under him, doing a front-to-back roll on occasion and making our lives fuller every single day! It's hard to believe that less than a year ago we were trying to figure out what in the world we would ever do with three kids, and now we can't imagine what we'd ever do without all of them! He's still very laid back, but has developed a few preferences about how he likes/doesn't like to be held, etc. He's still a great night-time sleeper. He stays awake in hour and a half intervals during the day. We try to take advantage of all the snuggle time, because (and I know I've said this before, but) this is the end of the line!

He had his 4 month check up today, and here are his stats:

*

Height: 23.5 inches (10th percentile - still!)

Weight: 13 pounds, 11.5 ounces (25th percentile)

Head: 16.5 inches (50th percentile)

*

Everything looked great, but they're ordering another ultrasound of his kidneys just to make sure things are still looking good.
