My little Bean is now 11 weeks and growing like a weed. Like his brother Jbird, he hates tummy time with a passion. I guess we'll have to make it a team sport and make his brothers entertain him. He is such a happy go lucky baby with a calm demeanor, we truly got lucky with him. Look who is smiling on demand now.
We've installed all 3 carseats in the minivan and I've spent the past two weeks going places with all 3 kids, what what. I love that we got a big enough car that makes getting them in and out of the car an easy task.
Tman took a picture of me after I took their picture. Look at Jbird watching his movie with the most serious face, he is so funny that kid
We went to the mall for some shopping and while we were there I let the boys get some play time, they were in heaven. After sitting in the stroller for a while it was a nice change for them to do something they wanted to do
Multi tasking at its finest, I was overseeing Tman and Jbird while feeding Bean :)
We had a play date at our house with a friend who has 2 daughters. Our kids are just a few months apart and they all had a blast playing together and watching cartoons
The boys hanging out before bed time. It was nice enough the past few weeks that I put them in pajama shorts
Bean and grandad hanging out, such a serious face my little Bean
I had lunch with my girlfriends and we got to catch up on life. I love these girls
We also went to Ikea to buy some furniture to use as storage for the boys' toys. Tman was loving all the open space
I let both boys run up and down the aisle for a bit and they were in heaven. My boys just love to run around everywhere
While I was chasing them all over Ikea, Bean was taking a quick nap with grandma. Such a good baby my Bean
One of the biggest thing I wanted to do while I was on maternity leave was decorate our house a bit. I discovered homegoods last year and I couldn't wait to have the time to go shopping and pick some stuff to spice up our space a bit. I bought some new pillows and lamps for the family and the living room and it completely changed those room (note my house is never this clean, ever)
We bought the furniture from Ikea to use in the playroom to put away toys. I really love the way they look and the fact that we now have somewhere to put all the toys in the playroom. I might get a few more of those for the other wall
We also got our landscaping done and I am loving the curb appeal
On mother's day Sunday, my cousin came over with her son who is Tman's age. The boys had a ball playing together all day. Check out Tman throwing and catching his goldfish, funny kid my son.

When we were attempting to take a family pic, my nephew decided to join us. I was so psyched when I found this perfect outfit for the 3 boys. I am loving that we can start the matching way sooner this time around. Our family pic on mother's day, I guess this is what our family would look like if we have 4 boys :)
Maternity leave was awesome. The past few weeks were even better, the weather was super nice and the boys really cooperated and made my life easy. We did a lot of fun things and got everything crossed off my list that I wanted to do before I returned to work. Full time work I am now ready for you (I think).
I love love love this post. Love seeing all your smiling faces. The boys are getting so big! Look at you multi-tasking! You're doing a great job and even are able to smile while at it. Love it!
