The 'lets make up for not blogging all month' post

 The above picture was edited by a friend, and I was so impressed, I had to post it.  Thanks Ashley!

The next bazzillion pictures are of Heath.  I LOVE taking pictures of the newborn phase, and sorry if they all look the same.  I don't really care.  I love when newborns are all 'balled up' and look like little froggies all the time.  So cute!  I can't wait for his skin to stop peeling and being funky though.

 Froggie!

 This is what happens when Brooke is helping...

 This is from the beginning of the month before his eyes could really focus on anything

 I LOVE this fat little baby. 

One month stats:  23 inches long (95%).  Head circumference: 95% Weight: 11lbs 5oz. (85%)

Next up: Brooke

 This girl cracks me up and just melts Bryan's heart.  She gets anything she wants from him.  She is at such a fun age.  She is talking more and more.

 A couple weeks ago we heard crying upstairs and we walked in on this...

 and this...
She was stuck on the changing table and EVERYTHING was well, EVERYWHERE.  Silly girl.

 Train time.  I have never seen 2 kids so into trains and Thomas before. This is a daily event at our house.

 She still LOVES hats. And has now added skirts to the list.  She picks one out every day for me to put her in, and it doesn't matter how cold it is.  She still wants to wear it.

 She got her first real haircut yesterday.  I was so proud of how well she sat through the appointment.

Helping hands...

 Love

And finally...

Peter!

I am sad to say he is not in as many pictures lately because he just makes horrible faces at me and then is more interested in seeing the pictures I am taking on the reveiw screen than actually being in them.  He has trouble falling asleep for naps, and then NEVER wants to wake up.  So Brooke attempts to help.  As you see, it didn't work.  He slept for another 35 min with her 'reading' to him.

 I couldn't resist a bum picture.

 Seriously, obsessed.

 This is what happens when Peter catches a cold.  I gave him the box of Kleenix for naps... and when I woke him up this is what I found. 

One rolled over and they all fell out...

Or something like that. 
The time has come.  The time is now.  Marvin K Mooney Heath William Hays will you please go now!
I finally kicked my sweet chubby little grunting/cooing and many other assorted noise making baby out of our room.  I got a GREAT night of sleep last night.  It was a good choice. 
Or so I thought. 
The down side to this arrangement is that Peter and Brooke are roomies now.  Peter was extremely excited to have his sister move in with him.  And Brooke seems to think its pretty cool too.  We moved her crib into his room and the bassinet into the nursery.  I decided it would be in my best interest (meaning I would probably get the most amount of sleep) if I didn't put Brooke in a bed yet.  I am planning on switching her over in about 3 months or so.
Or so I thought.  Nap time has not gone smoothly today. Its only the first day.  The two of them giggled and giggled and then Peter was out of his bed giving toys to Brooke in the crib.  I threatened him with sleeping on the floor in my room if he didn't knock it off.  Of course, he didn't listen.  So I moved him into my room.  (he was NOT happy about it).  And Brooke was less happy than him, to say the least.  I went back downstairs and proceeded to clean up the spilled milk and cracker mess that had mysteriously invaded my kitchen table and a larger portion of the floor during lunch today.  Not even 3 minutes later I heard a  "THUNK" followed by a REALLY unhappy cry.  I ran back upstairs to find Brooke screaming her head off on the floor.  Apparently she decided she wanted to sleep with Peter no matter where he was so she made her first attempt at jail-breaking out of the crib.  She was 100% successful too.  Except for the part where she landed on her head.  I didn't know if I should have laughed, or been mad, or felt sad that she hit her head, so I settled for a combo of all three.  I hugged her, put her back in her crib and am now sitting down here blogging with my fingers crossed that she will not try that again for at least a week or so. 
So much for my planning.  I bet she ends up in a big-girl bed very soon.  And that means I am gonna be even more sleep deprived.  *Sigh*

Life

Wow.  Its been a crazy month.  Adjusting to three kids hasn't been that hard for me.  Recovering from a C-Section has.  I did not anticipate how slow and painful recovery would be.  I am happy to say that I am finally feeling back to my old self.  Mostly.  I am still moving a little slow.  But I am hanging in there.  I am SO grateful for my mom and mother-in-law coming out here to help out.  Boy did I need it.  I was pretty miserable for a couple weeks.  Thanks for putting up with me.  
Brooke is LOVING her new little brother.  Peter could really care less.  He acknowledges him and says hi, but really isn't interested.  They are adjusting well to having a new sibling.  Heath is an awesome baby.  He eats, sleeps and poops....just like newborns are supposed to do.  He is the NOISIEST little guy though.  While he eats he is grunting.  When he sleeps he is grunting or cooing or sighing.  When he poops he is grunting!  I have GOT to move him out of my room.  Tonight I think he is going to move in with Peter.  I can't sleep with all the noise!  I hope Heath stays as 'chill' as he is now, because he is so easy. 

Things of note this month:
1.  The kids have locked the doors upstairs either to the bathroom or my bedroom multiple times.  And they aren't easy to unlock.  I (or Bryan) has to take the entire handle off to get the door open.

2. Brooke is obsessed with juice. 

3. Peter is obsessed with the television.  Its driving me nuts.

4. Bryan is obsessed with his new PS3 games. (which is also driving me nuts!)

5. I am obsessed with sleeping.  (which is probably driving Bryan nuts!)

6.  Soup is my new found favorite food.  I can't get enough.

7. It has been such a mild winter.  I might get through it without going crazy.

8. I am so behind with everything I feel like I may never catch up.  But I am finally motivated to start trying!
