Scotty is darling and getting huge! He has just started waving "bye-bye" and loves to scream and laugh. We started him on solids at around six months, but he absolutely refused any regular baby food. Rice cereal, smashed bananas, whatever! If it was pureed, he would gag on it. So we started him on small chunks of food instead and he has been loving that!
Nathan is 3 now and he knows it. :) He is a very busy guy and keeps us busy too! I was super proud of him when he potty trained a few weeks before his birthday. It only took a couple of days, and he was staying dry at night too! Completely different experience from the nightmare that was training Alex, thank heavens! Nate makes us laugh by making up words like "snuggets" (which is apparently where our food goes after we swallow).
Alex graduated kindergarten in May and has been loving summer. He just lost his first tooth yesterday...and about time! The thing had been hanging wonky and loose for the last six months and was starting to get shoved back up into his gums by the new one coming in! He will turn 6 next week, and maybe if I keep this bloggin' feeling I will post the party pictures.
We got a kitten about a week ago and have been loving her sweet little personality. We named her Mei-Mei and we have a blast watching her attack the grass and anything else that moves!
Josh and I celebrated our 8th anniversary in April. And we still like each other and everything! :) Josh also turned 30 that month, and I gifted him 30 things. That took some creativity, I tell ya!
And now, the photographic evidence of our family's awesomeness!
Eight years!
Cutest. Baby. Ever.

Josh and the boys with his massive Costco birthday cake. Word to the wise: do not purchase this cake unless you have about 20 people to help you eat it....that thing is ridonculous. :)
