Aden says MAMA!!!!!!!!!

Yes believe it. We were carving our pumpkins tonight and Aden was being a little fussy so I was kinda tuning him out. I then heard Mama and without thinking I said yes honey and then it hit me. YOU SAID MAMA!! I got so excited and by this point Aden was giving me the biggest grin and started laughing. What a sweet moment!!

Lots and Lots of pumpkins

Lindsay was trying to get a picture of her with the boys but you can tell by the look on Walker's face that he wasn't doing it.

Baby's First Halloween!!

Pumpkins pumpkins everywhere.

Poppy, Walker, Aunt Burp Burp, Aden and Nana

This was our third year going to Burt's farm and we love it.(or at least I do) It was me, Josh, the boys, Lindsay, Poppy, Nana, Grandmom, and my aunt Pam. First we stopped for lunch at the famous Dawsonville Cafe for burgers and then off to the farm. Walker had a blast looking at all the pumpkins and riding on the hayride and Aden had fun just watching his brother. After the farm we had dinner and then took baths at Poppy's and Nana's then put the kids in the car and home we went. It was a full day of driving and the boys did sooooo good.

Mommy and Me

We are going on our third month of mommy and me classes at the zoo. I got an e-mail from the zoo one day telling me about the classes and I thought that it would give Walker and me some one on one time. I am so lucky because my mom can watch Aden while we go to the zoo. It was so cute the first time I told him about the classes. It went something like this:

Me ~ Walker do you want to go to the Zoo tomorrow with mommy?

Walker ~ Zoo with mommy?

Me ~ Yes, we came see lots of animals, play with other kids and ride the train.

Walker ~ Ride train?

Me ~ And it will just be me and you Walker, no Aden.

Walker ~ NOOOOOOO Aden?

Me ~ No Aden just mommy and Walker.

Walker ~ Just mommy, no Aden?

Me ~ Just mommy and Walker.

Walker ~ YAY! YAY!YAY! No Aden!*Aden, Walker does love you very much but still likes his time with his mommy*

Now you know why I do this class. The first month Walker was shy and didn't get to involved with the singing. The second month he started getting a little involved and now this month he is the loudest singer of the bunch. :) This class is pretty good because they teach the kids about different animals and where they live, what they eat, and a bunch of different little things.

Aubrey Pricilla Roach

My brother and sister-in-law welcomed home their second little girl on August 26Th. (I know that this is late but oh well) She weighed 8 pounds 14 ounces and was 20 inches long. She also told me that I was her favorite!:) Mom, dad, and big sister seem to be doing pretty good with their new family of four!

Walker News

Ever wonder what happens when a 2 1/2 year old watches Diego twice with a flying squirrel flying in it? He wakes up from his nap and climbs his crib and decides to jump off of it like the squirrel did in the show. Only the boy doesn't fly but lands directly on his bottom. I heard a loud bang and ran in his room to see him sitting on the floor with a confused look on his face.

I guess it is big boy bed time. ;0

Updates for Aden

I know that it has been forever since I updated on Aden so here is a little bit about him. He went for his six month check up on August 11th and did very well . He weighed 17 pounds 11 ounces (42%) and it 2 feet 2.25 inches tall (30%) The doctor said that he is a little on the small side so I needed to bump up his food intake. He said that the food was more important than the bottle which I hated to hear. Bottles are so easy to make and feed and food takes soooooo much time to feed. So now I feel that I am feeding someone all day long from Walker to Aden and then to me. He is getting better at eating so it is not that bad. This is what he eats:

Breakfast -3 tablespoons for baby oatmeal mixed with a jar of fruit and a 8 oz bottle

Lunch - 1 jar of fruit and 1 jar of veggies and a 8 oz bottle

Dinner - 4 tablespoons of rice cereal mixed with i jar of veggies and a 6 oz bottle

Bedtime - 8 oz bottle

See what I mean about someone eating all the time?!

Aden still is not the best at sleeping but all I can compare him to is Walker and Walker is the best sleeper there is. I know that some of that is my fault because I know that he needs to cry it out when he wakes up in the middle of the night but I can't take the crying. I will work on that soon I hope.

Aden is a very BIG mama's boy, he's head strong,the cutest baby, sweet , lovable, loves hugs and kisses, very smart, (knows patty-cake)and thinks his brother is the BEST thing in the world. (He is also crazy about his daddy too)

I always thought that I would have a girl and was kinda shocked when they said another boy but was still happy about another healthily baby boy. Still when you go shopping and see all the cute girl clothes, you wonder what it would be like. But it hit me like a ton of bricks a couple months ago how much I LOOOVVVVEEE being a mom to two of the sweetest and cutest boys on the earth. I would not trade my boys for anything!!!!! Walker and Aden you make mommy smile and laugh all the time. I love watching you both love on each other and I just hope when you grow up that you still love each other just as much.

On another note about Aden being the younger sibling. It was just the other day I was talking to Beth(my M-I-L) about how I can understand the looks that Aden gives Walker. I told her that I think every one should experience being the younger sibling. I know that when I was younger I adored my brother soooooo much. He was everything to me. I would always go to his room to sleep when I was scared, he was like a hero to me. I see the look that Aden gives Walker and it makes my heart swell. Now that said don't get me wrong because I am prepared for the days to come when they destroy the house rough housing and having arguments but at least I can close my eyes and remember how they are at this very moment in time. ;)

Movie Star

Yes Walker is my little movie star. The neighbors next door are shooting for a show that is called "Its me or the dog" and they wanted Walker in it. The show is about trying to solve any issues with dogs that you have and theirs have a problem with eating each others poop(gross) and fighting with each other(only 2 fight with each other). They have 5 pugs and Walker just loves them to death and that why they had him to go over there but he got a little camera shy. Usually he runs all over the place with them but Josh said that he just looked at the cameras the whole time. Josh said that he finally started playing a little with the dogs then he hugged and kissed on one of the pugs named Jack. They also interviewed Josh with Walker and ask how we felt about the eating of the poop. As Josh was holding Walker and answering the questions, I looked over at them and Walker was eating a stick the whole time. I guess boys will be boys. I will try to get a date when that will be on TV but I do know it will be on the Animal Planet channel.

Pizza Boy

Right now pepa aka pizza is Walker's favorite food. Every morning I ask him what he wants for breakfast and he says pizza. He has never had it for breakfast but he still ask every morning. I guess one morning I will try to make a breakfast pizza for him and see if he likes it.

Knuckle sandwich anyone?

Aden always has a fist or a foot in his mouth at all times. He is so much more flexible then Walker. I don't think Walker even tried to suck on his toes.

Aden's First Cookie

What is this Mommy?
Mmm So good.
Where did it go?

I gave Aden a cookie the other day so Walker and I could have lunch in some peace but I didn't expect Aden to munch down this whole cookie before we were half way through with our lunch. He is starting to become a little piggy. He loves his cookies, bananas, applesauce, carrots, sweet potatoes, peaches, and most of all his bottle.
