This update is for Ty and Stevie. These two are a handful! When the baby first came, I thought Stevie would have a harder time adjusting than Ty, but he actually loved being the bigger older brother. He became sweeter and super helpful and has always been really loving towards Jack. Ty is also super helpful and loves Jack, but I think he could feel the weight of the responsibility I was giving him now that I was needing extra help from him and I think he also missed feeling like one of the babies.  There were moments of regression and now that he's getting smarter and realizing he knows what he wants, we have some power struggles to say the least! It's funny because at church, Stevie goes absolutely crazy. He just wants to run free. And Ty is very reverent and nice. But at home, Stevie is my little sweetie and Ty is always so protective of his toys and his food and this results in many screechy loud fights! Ive been trying to drill in their heads that they are brothers and best friends and that they need to share. This is all obviously expected with kids and especially competitive boys. But in the last couple of weeks they've started to play more, laugh more, wrestle more, and love more. And I LOVE it! But oh boy I didnt ever think of the day that they'd team up on me! haha!

 Ty Is not pictured in this one but he did help:

 We woke up (EARLY) to this one:

 

Stevie learned from Ty how to move the chair and climb to wherever he wants. He likes gum!

 

And cookies:

(and deodorant and vitamin C, but I dont have pics of those daily occurrences)

 

I think the messes will always be better than the fighting though! I love to see them cuddle and play together.

  

  On our way to Richfield Stevie kept calling back to Ty, it was cracking me up:

Holding hands on the way to grandma's:

 I love that they'll always have a built in best friend. Love these cuties of mine!

About a month ago I had been feeling like it was time to do a little update on my Jack man! I started to write it all down and now a month later I'm finally finishing it! Life is so busy. He's just over 3 months old right now and is the best baby ever! He is so patient, so calm, so happy, so sweet, and so much fun. He has been sleeping through the night lately (10-12 hours, lucky me!), he's a great eater, and he is my little thumb sucker. He brings me so much joy through the day.  As long as he is full, he will smile at me when I change his diaper, when I pick his nose, and when I change his clothes. It's so sweet. I'm trying to enjoy every second! He makes me want to have 3 more babies just like him, I wish he could stay this little forever. He's just perfect. Heavenly Father knew I needed him as my 3rd baby! He recently had thrush and that was sad because he's so little. It has finally cleared up and I can tell he's feeling much better! Luckily he likes medicine so far. Ty always loved it too but Stevie always hated it. I give him bottles randomly to make sure he will eat whatever I give him- in case he teethes really early like Stevie did. I don't want to go through all that biting again! He has started to squeak/laugh here & there and he kicks all excitedly when I walk in his room to get him. He's so adorable! He just barely started to get eczema on his left cheek, exactly like Stevie did. It's nice this time around to know what it is and what to do! Stevie had to struggle with the itchy part of it and it would ooze and bleed sometimes. Hopefully I can keep jacks under control. He was also born with the same hairline as Stevie so he also had his first buzz at 7 weeks old. I just can't help but even things out! He is such a good mix of the two older boys, but everyone always comments on how different he is from them. He constantly reminds me of the other two, but when I take a picture to compare, he IS different! He still reminds me the most of Ty, though. It'll be fun in a year to see how much he has changed. He loves both Stevie and Ty &  thinks they are pretty funny. Luckily they both love him just as much. Stevie is constantly giving him kisses & trying to give him his binky (which he doesn't take anymore) and Ty is really good at singing to him to make him stop crying. I can't help but think how crazy it is that they're all mine! I love it. Some days are really hard and I cry along with them and some days are filled with fun and joy, but I wouldn't change a thing.
