October happenings...

The Fuller kids lately: Chandler was the flower girl in my cousin Bryan and Crystal's wedding. She is pretty much a perfect flower girl because she does what she is suppose to do every time and looks pretty darn cute doing it.


Although Chandler keeps telling me that "we either need to pray to God for a girl baby or twins," she loves her little brothers. I keep telling her that twins would not be necessary, I will take them one at a time!

Cohen (8 months) this guy is always happy. He is the most easy going, lovable, chunk. He just started sitting up at about 8 1/2 months, probably due to his size. (26 lbs) He has 4 teeth, two on the top and two on the bottom. He sleeps from 6:00PM-7:00AM and takes two, two hour naps a day.......how could you not already LOVE him just for that. He just started saying Mama, and most of the time he does this when he wants me to feed him and put him to bed. He gets to just about anywhere by rolling, or by the help of Chandler who thinks she is big enough to pick him up and move him. He pretty much will steal your heart in nothing flat, so if you think you are done having kids....don't be around this guy because he can be pretty persuasive to have just one more with his big dimple grins.

Chandler girl is our little angel. Presently she is really into drawing and learning to read. She has mastered writing her name, counting to 100, reading short words,knows where she lives, and most important mommy's cell phone number. Now trust me, this is not because I want her to have a good "resume"....she wants to and loves to"play school", ALL the time. We held her out of preschool this year because we  do not want to push the kids to grow up too fast. We feel like they start school at such an early age, and we do not need to do PRE-school. We want her to enjoy her last year at home before she starts kindergarder and all the "official" leaning is going to have to wait. For now, most of our learning takes place in the car. I am super old school and do not have a car with a TV, for that matter a radio either (it broke over 3 years ago, and hasn't been fixed...not in the budget), so we spell and sing and work on letter books as we drive. Other than that...we just PLAY A LOT!!!
Little Creedster, the speedster. This has been a tough month for this guy. At the beginning of the month he had a hernia and hydrocele repaired. Following the recovery he got pink eye (thanks Claire!), a sinus infection, and an upper respiratory infection. He has been pretty under the weather. He has really taken up a lot of mommy's lap lately, which I totally love because if you have boys you know they are pretty busy and do not sit still for long. He loves to play tractors...especially if he can use his excavator that pappy gave to him when he had surgery. Creed is my "GO" child, he always want to go, go, go. Recently all the kids started BSF and Creed is loving it. He is usually walking around the house with his tractors in his undies singing' "Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God almighty." This is just music to my ears.

No...they are not twins, they are just 9oz different in weight. I am constantly being asked this question and I guess you can see why.


Tinkerbell. When Chandler was trying to decide what she wanted to be for Halloween, she had such a hard time. I finally decided to help her out by telling her that if she was tink, then I would get her some fairy (glitter) dust so that she could fly. She was so excited by this that it made the decision easy, she was going to be tink. Well Mimi went and got the "pixie dust" and Chandler just couldn't wait to get her hands on it. When she saw my mom she handed her the baby doll that she was holding and said, "Mimi I need you to hold my baby, I am not sure how this is going to work when I start flying." She thought that Mimi had REAL pixie dust and that she was going to fly from house to house...
Opening weekend of deer season...ready to go hunting with Daddy.
