One Tired Boy

And this is what I saw as I walked back into the kitchen this morning after changing Burkley and putting her down for her morning nap. As I was changing her, I noticed that he was no longer "talking" so I knew something was up! Poor baby boy had a full belly and couldn't wait any longer...he was fast asleep in less than 2 minutes!!!

Nice Weather = Walking Field Trip

Yep, that's right. Mom and I decided to take the kiddos on a walking field trip yesterday afternoon. We walked down the street to see the chickens and the horses and we even got to see Great Pop. Here's hoping for cooler days so that we can enjoy a nice stroll down the street again!

Grammy and her favorite three...number four will join the Born family in Feb. 2010

(and no...I'm not the one expecting)!
Checking out the chickens!

Look how Brooks has his leg on Kyla! Burkley feeling the wind blow her hair!

And there's the horses...they didn't want anything to do with us.

Next time, we are going to bring some carrots and I bet they will pay attention to us!!

Honk Honk!!

Why on earth is everyone honking so much today? Oh, because they are reading Burkley's shirt and they agree!!! Honk, honk, honk! I think she's pretty stinkin' cute myself!!!

5 Years of Wedded Bliss

Yesterday, Cory and I celebrated 5 years of "wedded bliss!" We had a normal day (Cory worked and I stayed at home with the twinkies and was able to get several loads of laundry done) and then we had a nice dinner at Carrabba's with my parents and Kyla. I'm sure people were thinking "oh great" when they were seated next to our table with three babies, but honestly, they were perfect!! Overall, I think this was the best anniversary yet and it's because we were able to celebrate it with our precious little miracles. Cory and I have gone through A LOT together in the past 5 years and I'm looking forward to many, many more fun filled years together! Thanks to everyone who called, sent cards, sent emails/texts to wish us a Happy Anniversary! And what's a post without pictures to document our special evening???

6 Month Dr. Visit

Although they are 7 months old today, their 6 month well child visit was last Thursday (7-16-09). Our pedi was out of town and for some unexplained reason I did not know that they now allow you to pre-book well child appointments 2 months in advance when I called to make the appointment. In the past, you could only schedule a week in advance. So, from now on, I will be scheduling well in advance! We had a great visit with Dr. Judice and we even got to meet the new nurse practitioner. And here's a few pictures to document their stats!

Brooks singing to Grammy in the waiting room!

The boy LOVES to hear his sweet little voice...and so do we!

Burkley just taking it all in...

Brooks weighed in at 17 pounds 3 ounces.
We all lost the bet...we just knew he was 20 pounds if not more!

And he's now 27 inches long!

Now...Little Stinky weighed in at a whopping 11 pounds 8 ounces. We have come to the conclusion that Sister is going to be petite like I was when I was little (I only weighed 18 pounds when I was 2 years old). Dr. Judice was a little concerned with her weight, but not too concerned. I told her what she's eating, how much, and how often and she suggested me offering her more milk...yeah right! The girl has a mind of her own and she's been like that from day one...when she's done, she's done!!! She LOVES her Yo Baby Yogurt, so I've been giving her that at least once a day because it has about 110 calories.

And she's 24 inches long!

Dr. Judice also said that is would be a great idea to introduce them to finger foods to help with hand eye coordination, so here's Brooks trying out some cheese. He wasn't sure about it at first, but he ate it and seemed to like it. I did have to help him pick it up, but it was so sweet watching those fat little fingers trying to pick up the cheese. I have also been giving them "puffs" and they LOVE them (I break them into tiny pieces). The first few times Brooks had them he would make the funniest face...I'm guessing it was the texture.

Trying yogurt for the first time...she LOVES it!!

Playing after their appointment and lunch...waiting for our weekend company to arrive!

We go back Thursday for the rest (2) of their immunizations so say a prayer for ALL of us...it makes me a nervous wreck!

29 Weeks Old

I know I say it all the time, but they are getting so big. Here's a few pictures of B&B from this weekend. Our 6 month well child visit is Thursday, so be sure to check back for stats! Yes, I know they are nearing 7 months old, but the 16th was the first available appointment I could get when I called 3 weeks ago...they let you pre-book appointments 2 months in advance now instead of 1 week in advance).

Waking up after a morning nap!

Having some fun in the basket!

Monkey see, monkey do!

She saw her big brother doing this and decided to give it a try!

Sweet little feet!

Who Needs Teeth?

That is the question my little ones are probably wondering. I'm pretty sure Operation "Teething" is in full force at the Scott household right now. Both are chewing on any and everything and drooling like crazy. We also took our first unexpected trip to the doctor Thursday afternoon because Burkley woke up from her afternoon nap with 100.6 fever. By the time we got there, her temperature had dropped, but I could tell that she wasn't herself. They checked her over good and couldn't find anything wrong with her, so we are pretty sure that it's her teeth. She ran a low grade fever on and off all day yesterday, but so far, she hasn't had any today...THANK YOU GOD. My poor baby girl...I did not like her feeling bad.

She may be sick, but she's still smiling!

Look at the sweet little face. Poor baby girl!

Brooks' new teething ring!

The boy LOVES his little piggies (and so do I)!

Almost Wordless Wednesday

Sweet Little Piggies!!

I Kept My Promise

And here's my attempt of getting a few pictures of Brooks and Burkley in their coordinating outfits yesterday. As you can tell, it wasn't a huge success, but we had a lot of fun and I laughed a lot...they are just so curious about everything! Oh, and did you know that I LOVE them?!?!?

Whew...that wore me out!!

Peace Out Baby

Our grass and plants are happy today because it's RAINING...and I'm happy about lounging around the house today!! Here's a few pictures of Brooks and Burkley sporting their "Peace" outfits that Grammy bought for them...I'll attempt to get pictures of them together in their coordinating outfits, but it's kind of hard when one is napping and the other one is up! Until then...PEACE OUT!!!

Look at that sweet smile

28 weeks old

BIG blue eyes playing with her piggies

Sweet Little Firecrackers

We had a super nice 4th of July! Since the beach house is under construction from Hurricane Ike, Cory and I hosted this years festivities at our house. Everyone came over, did a little swimming, and enjoyed hamburgers, hot dogs, and sweets! Brooks and Burkley sure enjoyed their first 4th of July celebration...they were so good! Here's a few pictures of my sweet little ones! Hope everyone had a safe and relaxing 4th. God Bless America and the many men and women who have served or are currently serving for our country!
