Happy Birthday, Jen

Happy Birthday to my best buddy, Jen. Even though our lives have led down very different paths, you will always be a very dear friend to me.

Aiden's Haircut #2

Okay, so I decided to let my hubby take Aiden to get his haircut. I think that will be the norm from now on. Dad will be in charge of his boy's hair. Needless to say, Aiden came back home and his curls were gone! I thought my instructions were detailed enough, but he came back with his hair a little shorter than planned. I am not really upset...I think it is just that he looks even older now! He is, however, still the most handsome little boy ever. (and yes, I say the same about Seth too)

New Ride

Babies got a new ride. I LOVE this stroller. It feels like I am pushing nothing. No more bending over, sore back, carrying one and pushing two. It is so easy to get them in and out. Hopefully, this will help me get out more.

Drive thru pharmacy

Thank god for drive thru pharmacies. I got all the kiddos in the car and went to go get Aiden's next try at antibiotics. He has been throwing his up everytime. So he is either just a bit dramatic or allergic to the meds. They are all getting so big.

Brothers

Aiden's new spot

I guess since Seth can now get under the changing table, Aiden has found a new favorite hanging spot. The toybox.....

The secret's out

Aiden's hiding spot is no longer just his. Seth discovered this amazing hiding spot today. He had a little trouble getting out of it, but loved it none the less.

Future All Star

He has his dribbling skills mastered and is now working on his dunk moves.

Future Mechanic???

After complete inspection of both cars, for nearly 15 minutes, Aiden found them to be in tip top running order. He will send me the bill later. Will he be a mechanic when he grows up? Great mechanics do run in the Barycki family!

Not camera shy!

I have a hard time getting pictures of anyone because someone keeps stepping in front of the camera to steal the spotlight. Hint...he does not share his dog dog, either.

Dancing comes first

When it comes to dancing, Mia loves to rock. Back and forth and back and forth...even some technical difficulties with our hair accessories won't interfere with jamming to Billy Joel. Yeah, I will corrupt these guys with my music till they can pick their own songs for their ipods.

Wagon Ride

A a tribute to Tuesday Whitt! Our prayers and thoughts go out to her family. Today we are celebrating, life, love and family with a "Waggie Ride"
in Tuesday's honor.

15 Month Shots

Let me begin by saying that I will no longer do their shots with all three together. I think I will schedule them on separate days and just take one each. The babies did good during this visit, but for some reason I got just a tad too stressed. I think they knew what was coming so it made it hard to comfort them and get them undressed. Thank god my mom-in-law was there to help! They got a total of three shots each. Two in the leg and one in the arm. Their measurements were as such:

Mia - 20lbs finally, 32.5" long and 47.4cm for her noggin



Aiden - almost 23lbs, 32" long and his head is 48.8cm.


Seth - almost 25lbs, 31.75" long and 49.5cm (huge, I know)for his head



All three babies have huge heads. They were around 90th percentile for their heads. Mia was 95th percentile for length. Of course, with the length and super skinny girl, she ends up looking like a very malnourished girl. Of course, she eats more than her two brothers combined. I joke and tell her she must have worms.

Seth is being referred to a specialist for being behind in motor skills and such. He should be saying more than one word and really doesn't seem to respond when you say his name. He also seems very sensitive to loud noises. He also does not point, clap or grab things well for his age. So hopefully, with some therapy, I can help him along.

I know I shouldn't stress but when I got home I ate a whole box of mac n cheese with tuna and some good ol' Slap Your Mamma Seasoning! Yes, I am a stress eater. Now...is it too early for a margarita?

Poop Shiver

Seth is slowly coming out of his shell but is still shy. He really does not like loud noises to the point that it upsets him. His weirdest behavior is how he shivers when he wakes up or just after he poops. I was looking shivers up on the internet and found this....

1. poop shiver
n. That pleasant little twitch of relief your whole body feels during a good dump. Immediately follows the poop chills. Means you just made a good one. Sometimes associated with a tingly sensation in the knees.
The better the poop the bigger the shiver!

It seems his dad also has this ability and has passed it on to his protege! I will try to get this one on video but it is a hard one to catch.

Time with Uncle Emil

Today my little ones turned 15 months old. They gave me the best gift ever! All three slept through the night. No teething issues, no bottles to feed, no gas, no leaking diaper and no "cry it out" attempts on my part. Yay!

In the mornings, Emil comes by for a quick visit after he drops his babies off at our neighbor's house. She is Max and Isa's daycare. Aiden and Emil like to check out video's on You Tube. Today we watched some Billy Ocean, Men at Work, Gorillaz and Queen video's. I know that's a weird mix. Somehow the talk of midgets in the Safety Dance video led us to a discussion of the movie Time Bandits. That movie creeped me out when I was little, but remembering it made me think of just how awesome Billy Ocean is.
