Happy Birthday Kingston!

Guess what Kingston learned to do on Friday night? He learned to climb out of his crib. (He also used his potty chair too! But that was an isolated event.) I have been dreading the day that Kingston would have to move to his brothers’ room. Neither of the other boys had been in a crib as long as Kingston. But I just didn’t feel he was ready. And I wasn’t ready for the lack of sleep that would result from the move.

When we discovered that he could now climb out of the crib, we decided it was time to move to the big boys’ room.

Saturday was Kingston’s birthday and his first night to share a room with Liam and Kai. And you know what? He did just fine! He only got out of bed once. He looked so sweet laying between his brothers, ready to sleep next to them. We moved Liam to the top bunk the next night. And Evangeline is now in the crib. Everyone is adjusting well to the bed switches. Evangeline went to bed at 9pm last night and just woke up at noon! I’d say she loves her crib.

Anyway, since I was at the Beatles tribute show half the day on Kingston’s birthday, we had his party on Sunday afternoon.

I probably should have done a better job about taking pictures. We had an ice cream party with lots of delicious toppings. Kingston had a great time!

It got up to the 70s that day, so thankfully the kids were able to play (and eat) on the deck.

I was hoping to get the shindig started earlier to have good lighting for pictures, but it didn’t start as early as planned.

The kids loved the gummy bears on their ice cream.

And Maggi loved the sprinkles.

Even though Kingston has been the most work so far, we have loved these 2 years with him. He is wild and energetic. He loves to give kisses, read, and growl. He has the stinkiest feet known to mankind. He loves to enthusiastically say the word “fun!” when he’s having a good time. He likes to aggravate Kai but he also loves to play with his brothers. He loves his baby sister (“gully”) and loves to kiss her.

When he’s staying out of trouble, he is a lot of fun 🙂

We love our little Kingston guy!

Blog, kids, kingston

Kingston

I thought I would take a few minutes to make a post about Kingston since my huge following of blog readers have been begging me for a blog post. I still have a post to write with Kai’s birthday interview but I wanted to make a post about Kingston first since I haven’t yet.

It just so happens that today he is sick. Therefore, this is the most still he has been since he started walking at 10 months. That’s right, even though my firstborn made me wait 17 months before taking steps by himself, Kingston only gave me 10 months. He quickly learned to run and hasn’t stopped since. Now being 37 weeks pregnant, I can barely keep up with my 17 month old child.

Kingston has a personality of his own. That kid loves to run, pick his belly button, and go insane. However, he barely talks. I guess at this point he doesn’t see a point in it. I think his favorite word is “ball.” But he only has a very small list of words that he says. This kid loves to eat, all the time, almost every food but hot dogs. And he loves books. It’s that part of his personality that reminds me of Liam. And his craziness reminds me of Kai. A good mix of both.

I guess I haven’t posted in a while because I knew I was going to write about Kingston but felt bad that I didn’t have a long list of things to say. I may not have a lot of words to post about him but I do love that kid and what he adds to our family. Oh, and pictures. I have those. Which speak more than what I can write because he is super cute and full of personality which I can’t explain in writing.

So here are those pictures—
Ending with a picture from today to show how sweet a sick sleeping baby can look
