SEVEN!!!!

Can you believe it? My oldest son turned 7 years old the other day, and Kyson turned 7 months! It is crazy how fast time flies by. I feel like I was just pushing Gavin out of me screaming at the T.V. as I watched the 2002 winter Olympics. He is a little stinker at times, but I wouldn't trade him for the world. He is getting so big and MORE smart alecky (?), is that even possible? He loves going to school for the social aspect, but did tell me he likes math.
So for his birthday this year he wanted to have a friend party and go bowling. I was going to allow that, UNTIL I saw his list: 30 PEOPLE!!! I said NO WAY! He wasn't very happy, but we compromised and he got to invite 25 boys (AHHH, I know!!!) but we had to have a movie, "late night." So on Friday the 21st, we had 15 boys over to the house to watch "Star Wars:The Clone Wars" ate popcorn, treats and had soda. Then we opened presents had root beer floats and called it good. It was crazy and I will probably never do it again, but he had fun. All he wanted this year was stuff for his DS. He got 3 new games, a bunch of Legos, and more toys! We have a ton, Amanda, Phil's sister, says we are like a mini Toys-R-Us! We had a family party the next Monday, and we did his cake. No, I'm not the crafty mother who concocks a great cake, just the plain old german chocolate, just like his father. I just want Gavin to know, how much I love HIM! He is my handsomeness boo and I'm so glad that I get to be his mother!




Now for an update on Kyson. He weighed in at 19 lbs 6 oz and 28 inches long when we went to the doctor on the 13th. I was suprised with the weight, I thought for sure he was easily over 20 lbs. Anyway, I had him weighed yesterday and he was 21 lbs. He is growing like a weed, but has a minor health problem. I took him on the 3rd for an ear infection and after being on antibiotics since then, the PA said he had to give him 2 shots of Rocefin on Sat and Sun and told us to follow up with our regular Ped. and schedule with a ENT for tubes. I swear, the Ware Family has the crappiest ears! Today, at church another mother, whose children are also blessed with having had tubes said, "Why don't they just put the tubes in their ears when they circumsise them at birth?" I totally agree!!!!! Anyway, despite that Ky is a great kid and happy as can be. He is sitting up all on his own, LOVES food especially sweet potatoes and squash, but will not roll over to save his life. He can do it, I've witness it once, but that is it. He is perfectly content to sit and play and if he can't reach whatever he wants, he just finds something else to entertain him. He also LOVES to give kisses and not just a small kiss, full open mouth kisses! It's a little slobbery. But, it is all well worth it.
