I am proud to say.....

....that Cyrus is growing well. He had his 4 month check up yesterday and he is very healthy. He is 13 lbs (15%-ile) and 25.5 inches (71%-ile). And he's rolling over (both ways now!) and laughing like crazy!

"Blow ye winds, like the trumpet blows, but without that noise"

Except it does make that noise.....almost. It blows past our door and howls.....it's quite scary sometimes, and this is what is does to speed limit signs.

Happy Anniversary!

Last Wednesday was our 3rd Anniversary! We didn't think we'd be able to go out because of Victor's safety class he had to go to after work, but Victor ended up being able to get work off early so we could do something before his class.

The night before I made a cake for the occasion. It's called "Better Than Sex Cake" (or to my innocent friends, "Better Than Kisses" :) First you bake a chocolate cake. Then right when it comes out of the oven you poke a bunch of holes in it and pour a whole jar of Carmel ice cream topping all over it. Then you let it cool. Then top it with a tub of Cool Whip (I actually prefer to whip up a 1/2 pint of whipping cream and add a little bit of powdered sugar and vanilla) and 2 Heath or Score Bars broken into pieces.

It was almost gone before I remembered to take a picture for you guys......


When Victor got off work we went out to eat (we had a limited selection because we wanted to stay as close to the school as we could, so Victor wouldn't be late for class). We went to a favorite of ours, Jim's Family Restaurant. I got a Avocado Burger, yummy!

Oh, and Victor passed his test! Yeah! So, if anyone needs Safety and Emissions testing done go to STEVE'S!

My dad and Christine went to Florida last week and got these super cute shirts for my boys at Universal Studios! What do you think??

I got a picture of my crazy boy trying to roll over in his swing....

Another Update...

I know I've been neglecting my blog lately....I've been reading alot of them, but without leaving comments because I usually have Cyrus in hand.

So, we're still alive and well. Victor finished his emissions classes and tests and passed and now has moved on to the Safety part. He goes to class all this week from 6-10pm, which is hard for me because he gets off work at 5:30......so I only see him in passing. And it's our Anniversary this week (tomorrow actually) so we won't get to celebrate until this weekend probably.

I've been doing alot of blog reading actually. My two new favorites are these "Mom Blogs" Freebies 4 Moms and Baby Cheapskate. You should check them out, they are both awesome. Freebies 4 Moms is pretty much for all moms and the other is geared towards moms with young children, like every week she posts the best diaper and formula deals of the week, so it's pretty helpful.

Orion is just learning new words everyday. He could talk your ear off. His new things is after he eats, say he's eating dinosaur chicken nuggets....

He'll say, "Mom, where my dinosaur chicken go?"

and I'll say, "I don't know. Where did it go?"

and he'll get this sinister look on his face and lift up his shirt and say....

"IN MY BELLY! Swimming with water! (or juice, depending on what he's drinking)"

Cyrus is getting bigger everyday. He's still not as big as Orion was at this age, but he's filling out. He's starting to remind me more of Orion with the different faces he pulls. Another thing he accomplished this week, (which I hate...) is rolling over. I didn't think 3 month old babies could roll over, Orion was 6 months old when he started, maybe it was because he was held alot more...So, when Cyrus gets put down and he doesn't want to be put down, he'll roll over. And he cries and cries because he can't hold his head up for very long on his belly....it frustrates me sometimes, because he tries to roll over in his swing. I'll have to take a picture of that next time he tries.

Oh, and it snowed yesterday.....have I mentioned that I despise the snow? Especially in the Spring.
