Over the river and through the woods to Grammy and Grampy's we go!!

I have to tell you.. I have started this posting a bunch of times but between eating, pooping, and getting spoiled... it's been pretty tough to get to the computer.. plus Mommy is always on it trying to find deals on diapers and coffee.. when she isn't taking care of us(thanks Miss Kim for pointing out the www.bigcatcoffees.com site for Mommy).

Brother and I have been really busy these past couple of weeks.. trying to pack in as much as we can until Mommy goes back to work on March 1st. We are a little sad about Mommy having to go back to work, but we are excited for our Nanny to start..we just hope she can keep up with us.. We keep everyone very very busy.

We took our first road trip. Mom and Dad were really nervous so they packed the family mobile to the absolute brim with baby gear. We went to Connecticut
to visit the Pellonis and boy did we get a visit in. We started off the weekend bright and early.. I was ready to go in my best jammy jams.. but it took our parents a few hours to get out of the house.. once we were on the road.. I WAS ready to party.. but because they made me wait around for so long.. I fell asleep with brother the entire way!!! I think I earned a pony for that one.. by now.. I think I have earned 4 ponies!!

Our first stop in Connecticut, was Grammy's house. She was in the middle of making a bunch of sweet treats for her pub... but we got in the middle of that and I think Mom and Dad polished off a couple of those treats.. they both had chocolate on their faces when we woke up from our nap. After visiting with Grammy.. we put our party clothes on and went to our Uncle Tommy's 60th birthday party. This was my Grand Debut... oops I mean OUR Grand Debut to the Pelloni Family.. ooh time for me to throw a fit.. I will have to finish this in a bit.

pphew.. well that turned into an ordeal.. two crying babies and two diaper changes.. see why it takes me so long to post.

In CT.. we met ALL of our Pelloni Uncles and Aunties.... well except our Great Great Uncle Georgie.. but he is coming home soon we hope. Our Uncle Jimmy even came all the way from Florida to visit (that made our trip look like nothin). The highlight of our Pelloni Family visit was meeting our Great Great Aunty Stella. She stole us away from our parents.. and kept telling them to beat it.. she had us taken care of. She really didn't want us to go back.. I think she was talking about bringing us to Vegas with her. She's a little crazy.. but what women aren't in our family? We spent lots of time w/ her.. and then made the rounds with all of the other family members... we are really lucky to be part of such a big family.... a big family who likes to eat just like us!

After the party, we went to Grampy's house to spend the night. It was fun staying with Grampy.. he made Mom,Dad, and Lorrie a GREAT breakfast and he gave us lots of love. We had fun meeting Lorrie and Dad taught her all about facebook.. he loves to teach people about facebook.. perhaps he can start getting paid to do so because I am going to need LOTS of SHOES! I can't wait until I can walk so that I can run around his house and hide. Brother can't wait to go to work w/ Grampy so that he can drive his trucks.. Between Ronan and Jackson.. Grampy has quite the rock picking crew...

What a weekend we had... we also had some other firsts.. like our first walk in the neighborhood.. our first I can cry so loud no noise comes out... Mommy tried to give us our first rice cereal... but then we had to meet our first prune juice..so she stopped that experiment.. we haven't had our first sleep through the whole night.. or our first poo poo on the potty..

Oh our vitals..

I am up to 8lbs 10oz.. if you remember I started off at 4lbs 10 oz.. so Mommy's milk has been doing me some serious good!

Brother.. aka Chunka Chunka Burnin Love... or Frank the Tank he is up to 10lbs 12oz.. he too has been enjoying his boobie milk cocktails.

That's it for now.. it's gotta be time for me to start crying so Mommy knows that its time to eat..maybe I can get brother to do it at the same time.. that's always fun!!!

Lucky 7- Ronan tells you how it is

This week marks our 7th week in the PBT house. This week has been a whirlwind of events.

We kicked the weekend off with a visit from our friends, the Ronans. Michael, Shelby, Maeve and Charlotte all came over to play. Michael still thinks I was named after him, we are going to continue to tell him that in hopes that he pays for my college education.

We convinced Mom and Dad to take us to Jackson's basketball game. Little did we know, we too, would be the center of attention, along with Addie Cakes (Aka Adelaide Bower). I can't wait to be as tall as my brother so that we can play some hoops in the driveway. I know I can't take him now.. but give me a few months and I might be a force to be reckoned with on the courts. After sleeping.. oops I mean after watching the game.. we headed off to Sam's Club for Mommy to stock up on organic milk. I am not sure why she bought so much.. my milk is organic and free!! What is better than that? We rested our eyes through the Sam's adventure.

We then went to Aunt Stacey's house to refuel. We were there for a while.. we were held and held.. and kissed.. and held some more. I personally, tried to impress them w/ with my grunts, cackles, and toots.. the toots always get me something.

After the refuel and spoiling... we headed to the MALL?? Mom and Dad were really brave with this one.. Ava and I were on the boarder of being great babies.. or being really tough babies.. we chose to be great babies.. afterall.. they do wake up w/ us every night.. they do give us tons of love.. they do laugh at us all of the time. The Mall is a crazy place for babies.. lots of people, lots of lights.. lots of things they wouldn't buy me even though I was good and said please.

Mom and Dad needed to refuel..so Ava and I decided to take a little nap, they wheeled us into Ruby Tuesday's and had themselves a dinner date. Can you believe it.. we were SIX weeks old.. and they took us on a date... and we behaved. I think Daddy is going to buy me a rocket launcher for that.. and Ava definitely is going to get her pony.

That was just Saturday.. on Sunday, Daddy decided to bust out the Baby Bjorn.. we modeled it together. Usually my sister gets to the do the modeling, but I got to take advantage of it this time.. I think she was snoozin during the shoot. Adelaide came over to play with us as well as Kelly and Kristy. It was nice to have our families together... we took Addie aside and planned some sneak attacks on our brother, Jackson.. shhhhh don't tell him.

So that was the weekend.. we all had to go back to work on Monday.. sleepin, eating, poopin, it's all very hard work. Sister stopped her sleeping through the night streak which was tough on our parents. I stayed consistent.. wake up.. eat.. poop... toot.. and back to bed.

Grammy Tullis came to spoil us for a couple of days while Daddy went on some sales calls to Maine. Our Nanny came to visit us for a couple of hours, and we were visited by our friends Jen and Emma Melker. Everyone comes over here to get their baby fix.

Ooooh.. Ava wanted me to mention the fact that she wore her first pair of very designer jeans... no these weren't Sevens or Luckies.. they were jeans WITH designs on them... and they were pretty.. Not for me.. but she did look pretty in them. I am sure Mom will post some pictures..they took a bunch.


We are off to Connecticut this weekend to celebrate our Great Uncle Tommy's 60th Birthday. I am really excited to meet all of my Great Uncles, to eat some real pizza, to go to the Italian bakery, to sleep at Grampy's and to have Sunday dinner at Grammy's. I certainly am going to pack on a few pounds this weekend... I might just get up to 11lbs with the way Mommy has been feeding us.

We hope ya'll have a great week.

Thank You Thank You- Mommy's turn

To all of our friends and family who have been so incredible for the past year or so.

I can't believe how lucky I am to have such incredible people in my life.

My husband is the most amazing, caring, thoughtful, loving, tender, courageous, strong and funniest person I have ever met in my life. I thank God for him everyday!! He does everything.. he cooks, cleans, feeds babies around the clock, goes sledding with Jackson, tells me I am beautiful (when I am at my worst), changes diapers, makes me laugh, plays dress up and photoshoot, tells me to take naps, and the list goes on. I always knew he would be a great Father, but couldn't dream of how great a Father and husband he would be. I am living a dream with him by my side.. and these babies are so lucky to have him.. what an incredible role model for both of them.

My family.. you are always here for the babies.. holding them, feeding them, burping them, you are that other set of hands that we need so that we can keep this engine going. We are so lucky... your help makes us look like we know what we are doing.

My friends... oh my friends... from the advice.. to the hand me downs.. to the dinners.... to the check in phone calls... thank you.. It really helps to know that someone has been in the same boat as us.. and your advice is always appreciated. We love and cherish the hand me downs.. we love and cherish your support.. we love and cherish your company. It hasn't been easy being couped up in the house and love when you stop by.. even if it is for a few minutes.

My Kids- There are 3 of you now.. and I thank you guys for being incredible children. Jackson, my big boy, the person who taught me how to be a Mom. You are so incredibly special to me. I love our snuggles, I love our two squeezes, I love our good morning Mommies.. I love how you make me laugh when you don't try. You are such a love to all of us.. I know this isn't easy for you.. but you are a great big brother... I promise you that it all gets better and I promise that Mommy is doing everything she can for you. Ava and Ronan.. you are such great babies. You make us laugh all of the time. We love your bright eyes.... we love your random smiles.. and even in the middle of the night... we love to give you kisses. Thank you for being such great babies.. We look forward to every new day with you. I am going to miss you like crazy when I can't spend all day watching you develop and grow.


Thank you God for allowing me to have this life. You have blessed our lives in so many ways... and continue to everyday. Thank You!
