Differences
Everyone said it would be fun to see the differences in your children. I could go on and on about the differences between Calvin and Oliver but this sums it up just about perfectly. I heard them playing downstairs the other day. They were playing w/ Calvin's growing collection of superhero figures. Arguing
"No Ollie they are not dancing. They are doing karate." Calvin
"No, they dancing. Its Beat It" Ollie
Ollie now calls Darth Vader "Beat It" Why you may ask? He is wearing black beat it boots, duh!! Princess Leia is Billie Jean too!
Eliza gets to join in the superhero fun too.
Shoes
What girl doesn't love shoes. Eliza couldn't fit any of the 0-3 month shoes we have. Gma Bubbles is visiting and found some that actually fit. She is almost four months and is wearing a newborn size shoe. Her first pair of shoes!! Lucky for her she will have no troubles convincing Dad she needs more shoes!

Daddy Shrine II
Last night going to bed Calvin asked if we could make our whole room pictures of Daddy so then we won't miss him. I wish it would work, I would cover the whole house...

A few of Oliver's favorite things.
IPod. Check. Beat it boots. Check. Ollie is happy all day long. (Thanks Tracey!)
Oliver has officially changed his name to Beat it. He will correct you if you refer to him as Ollie or Oliver. Unless of course it is on a day when he has decided that he is "Thriller" And my name has become Billie Jean. I can't remember the last time he called me mommy. "Billie Jean I have mocos. Billie Jean I need to go potty. Billie Jean I hungry." All day long. It is really sweet. I love being a part of Ollie's world.

Good bye little baby clothes
I had to pack up all Eliza's 3 month clothes this week. And it made me sad, partly bc she wore most of them only once (thanks to aunt rachael) and mostly bc it means she is just getting bigger. I want to freeze her for Scott, but I can't and she has to grow bc it means that time is passing and he will come home to us.
She is such a sweet little baby. Happy all the time. (except in the car) She has enough food storage in her thighs to keep her fed for a week and I love it. She eats and then I lay her in her crib and she takes her naps. She likes three naps daily. She doesn't like when Clavin gets in her face too close for too long, but she will laugh if the boys keep their distance. She likes peace and quiet when she eats. She needs a break between sides. She does not like her schedule to be disturbed. She likes to stay home, and thanks to Grandma I can still take the boys to do things and Eliza gets to nap at home with Gma. If we stay at home all day she hardly makes a peep. She does not like her car seat, but I think we may be making progress on that this last week. She likes music and loves to hear her brothers sing, but she is not as fond of the Phantom of the Opera as Oliver would like her to be. But honestly I hate it now thanks to him so I can't blame her. She likes to talk to Grandpa and watch sports with him. And she is loving all the delicious food that mommy is devouring at Grandma's house. She loves to pose for the camera. The flash actually makes her smile so I keep it on continuous mode and get a million cheesy shots to send to daddy. She has even shot Scott a few smiles over the web cam.
If she ever has a fussy moment I swaddle her and put her in her swing and she goes to sleep. I keep my babies and children on a schedule bc I am not patient. Many times I hand them off to Scott and he happily walks the floors with them at all hours of the night. God gave me happy Eliza bc I could not handle a baby alone. She really is a dream baby. She even laughed for me three times in a row on Sunday. That sound alone makes everything I hate all worth it.
Scott spoils me. If I am tired at night al I have to do is tap him and he will wake up to help me. Change a diaper, put them back to sleep, anything. When I had a c-section he would wake up just to hand me Calvin bc it was hard to sit up. He has always broken them into a bottle, which is why I don't know how to do it with Eliza. I gave her one last night and it just felt weird. She is even getting into 6 and 7 hours stretches at night, eating and then back for another four.
I am just rambling, writing down some memories so I don't forget. The best part of having Eliza while Scott is away is that she lets me hold her as long as I want until my heart feels happier and I can remember how much love brought her into this world.
