Today, Jacob was calling me to come talk to him. He was on the potty and I was in my office. I said I'd be right there, and he kept saying, "I want to talk to you." So I finished up what I was doing and went down, thinking he needed help in the potty. When I asked him what he needed, he said he wanted to talk to me. He said, "How about I will clap, Mommy."

"Clap? what for?"

"I will clap, and whenever I clap, you come and get me what I want."

After my hysterical laughter, I explained to him that I will come when he needs my help, but it is inappropriate for me to come when he claps. "Why not?" After some discussion, he agreed that he will call for me when he needs help. Next, he'll probably be asking for a bell to ring!

Congratulations Alicia! My sister graduated from California State University, Fullerton yesterday with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Liberal Studies. My old Alma Mater. We are all so proud of you Shaw!

My Sweet, Silly, Little Faces

Here are the faces I am blessed to see EVERY day. I'm the luckiest Mommy in the world!

Houston, We Have A Problem!




I don't know where the boys got this idea, but they are LITERALLY climbing the walls! You can guess it. Their game was to see how high they could go. As they grow, I don't even WANT to know what other things they will discover they can do to destroy my house! :)

It's been a while since I've updated, and I really need to go back and add some pics and some really funny video (Jacob getting stuck in a chair). But I just wanted to quickly add their stats from their recent annual check up (only five months late, hehe).

Jacob
42 1/2 " 42#8oz

Joshua
41" 37#

Malena
38 1/2" 38#

As you can see, they're all growing very well, and the doctor was very happy with their development. We got our shots, and now Malena has a fever and Jacob threw up. :( I thought they'd be over that, but I guess they're pretty sensitive to these things. Poor babies. I will update more later. I promise!
