Oh, Macky. I'm writing this one to you. I'm a little behind here. Enough behind i'm not exactly sure what was going on when you were 10 months. I got some cute pics of you though even though it was impossible to keep you still. You're a happy boy and so fun to be with. You are a great mix of both curious/ willing to explore while still being snuggly and all baby-like. Everywhere I go people comment on your reddish hair and how good you are--"angel baby" is a term bouncing around the church nursery :) I have to agree!<br />
<br />
I do know that right around this time you started really saying some words. It was an explosion really. All of sudden you were saying Momma, Daddy, more, all done, brother (or some form of it), night night, bath, and more. Also around this time you really took a liking to bouncing. Which is what you're doing in the pictures below. You think it's absolutely hilarious to bounce in your chair or on our tummies and we think it's hilarious watching you laugh about it.<br />
<br />
So Macky, your family, all 4 of us, we adore you. And i'm sorry i didn't keep such detailed records of all of your little habits and accomplishments. Guess it just takes a little more time taking care of four littles and as i'm trying to just soak it all in not as much is getting written down. Love You Baby and love all the sweet moments you've brought to my life.<br />

The USO sponsors monthly father/kid night out's at local Quad Cities establishments. In November, they got to go skating. This was the first time at a skating rink for this Burns Trio. I think they were pretty excited about it! and I think Mike was pretty brave to take on teaching 3 kiddos to skate at one time! </div>

The kids also had an "engineering project" at school this month. They had to build a backscratcher (to go along with a story about a bear who had an itch). They were giving a bunch of supplies to choose from. In the picture to the left you can see H and N's finished project. Such a great example of how different they both are. Holden's is simple, effective and to the point. I assume he was tasked to use at least 2 objects, otherwise i can hear him now pointed out that the fork would be fine to use on its own. Nora on the other hand used everything available to her. Sturdy and effective, it was not, but you can tell she really tackled the project with creativity and abandon. The picture on the right is a zoomed in shot of how she taped the wadded up rubber band to the popsicle stick. </div>

We had a bout with a stomach bug in the middle of the most beautiful fall week. Nora was at school and healthy but my other boys were home. We decided to break all the rules and venture outside to get some fresh air. Sometimes that's the best medicine you could take. </div>

The twins birthday is right around Thanksgiving and that always makes it little bit of a whirlwind...just trying to fit it in/ find a time when everyone is in town and free so we can celebrate. This year, instead of having one big party, we had a couple small celebrations.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We celebrated with some family friends of ours, as well as Pop Pop and Grandma since they were still in town. Then on their actual birthday we had a playdate/ice cream sundae party after school with some school friends. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ5bxUFv5bVf409qc1HTD4kc4oVZ3FdSjBD0fueOhEcvigCiRMheWpKCyHKqtXzjxaN-GwI_7zhvq4wwf0WoHkSQ_-ybv2eIlClpIT6Pf5vevZlrq67VNQ3I6GiAjDcpiyKbAhM5lHmoU/s1600/DSC_0011+3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="420" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ5bxUFv5bVf409qc1HTD4kc4oVZ3FdSjBD0fueOhEcvigCiRMheWpKCyHKqtXzjxaN-GwI_7zhvq4wwf0WoHkSQ_-ybv2eIlClpIT6Pf5vevZlrq67VNQ3I6GiAjDcpiyKbAhM5lHmoU/s640/DSC_0011+3.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>

Love this shot of my boys playing legos. We don't let D play with Holden's legos often--so many little pieces that can get forever lost, but he gets so excited when he gets to do it. He can barely get his chin above the table... but wants to be BIG like brother SO BAD. </div>

Trick or Treating was a lot of fun this year. The town we live in is super cute, family oriented and everyone knows each other. It had been a rainy day, but there was a break in the weather just in time for the scheduled trick or treating and EVERYONE was out. Whole families walked together, neighbors were talking on all of the corners. All the houses were decorated and homeowners were waiting on the porch ready to hand out candy. There were kids everywhere just like you see on TV and even better all the kids knew each other from school. We saw many of N & H's classmates. I figured we go out and do a block or two then go back to the house, but it was so much fun we trick or treated until dark. What's even better? Everyone abided by the rules and there were no late night doorbell rings as we were trying to get the kids in bed. So nice!</div>

We found a fun pumpkin patch in Illinois to check out. It was a pretty day and there were lots of fun things to do. The kids chose to ride the ponies and play on the playground. The best part was that they had tons of huge pumpkins and they were all on sale for $25. So needless to say we brought home a monster pumpkin to sit on our porch :) </div>

at 9 months, Macky was back to his normal sweet, happy self. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He started crawling! and he's so funny. He knows he's doing something big and gets so tickled with himself as he moves around. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He cut his 4 top teeth, so that meant a lot of drooling and some fussiness...but nothing some motrin couldn't handle. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Macky is also really enjoying his toys these days. He loves playing things that make sounds and bopping around to the music. I love that he is entertaining himself for periods of time. His favorite toy right now is the Sock Monkey Jack in the Box. He thinks it's hilarious and of course his giggles are contagious so before long we all start laughing. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We have no new stats on weight and height, but he's healthy and growing and wearing 12-18 month clothes. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So having reptiles/amphibians as pets comes with some turnover....i mean they don't live forever. Ya know, the frogs we catch outside, whatever lizard looks cool in the petshop but doesn't cost too much. For us, it's just something fun to watch. We are however quite attached to the turtles, and Linus has been a great turtle for us. We've had <strike>him</strike> i mean her, for over 2 years. She's great. Then we got Willis this summer. This turtle, also <strike>caught</strike> saved from the wild was meant for Davis' cage. He'd been wanting one in his room for a while. It was obvious from the beginning that Willis was a bit more aggressive than Linus. He ate his food vigorously, would snap at you if your hand got too close, and he just looked a little rough, ya know? like maybe he'd been in one too many riverbank fights? well, we still loved him. And by we, i mean Davis. Davis talked to Willis every day and all was well for a while. Then we noticed one lizard was gone. A few weeks later we noticed another lizard had a gaping wound and missing tail, and then the last straw was the gruesome murder of our beloved frog, Kitty. I will spare you the details but it wasn't pretty, and i swear the stench of a violent death permeated the room. We then removed all other lifeforms from Willis' cage and had a heart to heart with our young Davis. We gave Davis a choice, keeping Willis, but not having any other pets in his cage, or letting him go and getting a new baby turtle. There were some emotions involved, but in the end, Davis decided putting Willis in the Mississippi was the right thing to do. </div>

We did make sure first that our eastern box turtle could survive the winter conditions around here--we found out there were turtles of the same species as far west as Michigan...well, it's cold there. And now we know there are Eastern Box Turtles a little bit farther west ;) and listen, if any turtle could make it...Willis can. He's a fighter at heart. </div>

But for real. i know i've done the single mom thing, but this 10 day stint rocked my world. I don't know if it was 4 kids, living somewhere where we didn't have a huge support system, still just getting used to our new busy fall schedules, or just the stage of life we are currently in. but geez. this one was rough. </div>

You can't tell by this picture, but this day was especially rough. I failed as a mom at least once an hour and i think Macky fussed/cried the majority of the day. After finally getting the baby to bed, there was no other acceptable way to end the day than to crawl into the bed with my littles and snuggle a while. A good reminder that a lot of love and a little forgiveness can go a long way. </div>

The QC Balloon fest is nothing in comparison to the Carolina one--it was smaller, the balloons didn't actually fly, they just tethered, and there were only about 11 balloons instead of 50+ i'd guess were at the Carolina Fest, but there were definitely some positives of this one too. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. Instead of a 3 hour drive it was just a 15 min drive across the river (not a lot of time invested in an event that could be called off because of weather conditions at a minutes notice) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. It was free (we paid quite a bit for our family of 5 plus grandparents to go to the Carolina Balloon Fest last year to not even get to see the balloons go up)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. Easy In and Easy Out. (Don't get me started about the parking at the Carolina one) </div>

We arrived at the grounds right before dark settled in so we could watch the Balloon Glow. It's sweet seeing Davis at this one--so amazed at everything. The first balloon fest we ever went to was when he was 4 weeks old. Check that out <a href="http://www.mikeandjessib.blogspot.com/2012/10/hot-air-balloon-festival.html">here</a>. </div>

It was bad timing, but Mike had a work trip that fell right around Davis' birthday. It was definitely a bummer for all of us but we still tried to make the best of the day and make it super fun for our sweet Davis. </div>

Macky at Eight Months...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
well, he's still cute, so that's good ;) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But if i'm being honest it was a bit of a rough month. He's teething, he had a cold, he still can't figure out how to crawl and that just makes him super irritated and he's obsessive about food which makes him fuss/cry through the majority of his meals. The biggest problem though is our daily schedule and what's sad is there isn't much i can do about it. In order to pick the twins up on time i have to wake Macky up from nap every day. Then he is exhausted right at dinner time when i can't put him to bed and thus it makes dinner time stressful for us all. He's either crying on the floor, crying in his chair or crying upstairs in his bed while we try to have a quiet(er) dinner, but then my heart just hurts the whole time cause i know he's upstairs upset. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Don't get me wrong, we definitely have our sweet moments too, they were just few and far between this month. So far between that it took me weeks to find a moment to take his pictures for this month... every time i wanted to, he would be in a bad mood! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What Macky did like the most this month was 1) being outside --and i don't blame him, it's been the most beautiful fall. Who wouldn't want to be out in it? We've made it a routine to play at the park everyday after school. and 2) running errands. I think it's just new things to look at and a distraction from sitting on the floor and getting frustrated. So we did a lot of errands. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In other news, the baby says "Daddy". I wanted to ignore it, or blame it on just making "D sounds". Except that he took a break from saying it for 10 days. Like the 10 days that Mike was gone to Hawaii. So when Mike came back and Macky said...DaDaDadddyy...well i had to accept it. He also mimics the work "Hey". I try to get him to say Momma. Of course he just laughs at me and starts babbling DaDaDadddyyy more. Stinker. </div>

The Howells. They're from the same county we're from, but we didn't meet until Hawaii. We endured the 15 month deployment together. We had lots of fun dinners, game nights and adventures. We have continued to keep in touch and see each other when we can...although the visiting has been few and far between the past few years. Now they live in Grand Rapids...about 5.5 hours from us. That's doable. 5.5 hrs to see friends who might as well be family is no big deal at all for a 4 day weekend. So the first one we got, we headed to Michigan. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglApWRoiJh4FVF4nEGDBVJmxKBj5GIDlQ3A-uO0lnNxNWvjFT1MzB4If2nZJ8XcyWw5qvx2Dhc41juN-_LQmGiyWIvZ9TYK4mdPA65OR-_opFgJ1PdO6ZKpmLLvnVbWUAav7pvxzOTuHM/s1600/IMG_5298.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglApWRoiJh4FVF4nEGDBVJmxKBj5GIDlQ3A-uO0lnNxNWvjFT1MzB4If2nZJ8XcyWw5qvx2Dhc41juN-_LQmGiyWIvZ9TYK4mdPA65OR-_opFgJ1PdO6ZKpmLLvnVbWUAav7pvxzOTuHM/s400/IMG_5298.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>

Although it feels like i've seen them more--social media and frequent phone calls can do that--i actually haven't seen this little one since she was about 18 months and the twins were 2.5 yrs old. Now both 5 years old the girls can easily play together with no age gap issues. </div>

The twins weren't the only ones to start new things this fall. Davis is attending a half day preschool 2 days a week--similar to what the twins have done the past 3 years. Davis has been going to drop offs and pick ups for all of those 3 years and was more than ready for it to be his turn. </div>

He's in a 2 year old class--he misses the cut off for the 3 year old room by 5 days. He'll be the oldest in his room, and no doubt he'll run the show. Those poor newly turned 2 year olds aren't going to know what hit them! </div>

The Arsenal had a 5K early one morning...like EARLY. Macky and I opted to sleep thru it. Mike got the other 3 up though (at like 5am) and they all ran the race...no strollers! Mike did carry Davis a bit, but he did a lot on his own too. Mike may or may not have bribed them with a treat afterwards...</div>

the twins had swim camp at the Y--their first real swim lessons. They did a great job, Nora passed the first level and will be ready to move up next time. Holden needs more work in beginners level, but for a kid who was absolutely TERRIFIED of water a year ago, he came out of lessons voluntarily putting his face under the water. While the twins had lessons Davis got to play in the water with Daddy one day. He was SO EXCITED.</div>

Our first dentist visit in the QC were a little different than we're used to. The kids are going to a pediatric dentist and the amount of things to do in that office was insane! They didn't want to leave! </div>

For all the headaches caused by the Army (just keeping it real ya'll) there are definitely some perks. Like the Strong Bonds conferences (marriage retreats) for families almost always held at some fun resort where parents and kids can always have fun. We attended one in Hawaii when the twins were around 18 months and last month we were given the opportunity to go again. This time the conference was at Great Wolf Lodge in Wisconsin Dells. We were actually on a waiting list for this event and got a call two days before telling us we got in. Of course we dropped all of our plans and got ready, no need to pass up a free family fun vacay. </div>

On top of that, it's one more state we can knock off our list. And may i just say, Wisconsin was beautiful. I don't know that i had any preconceived idea of what it would look like, but i did not expect it to be so beautiful. Driving through there, on all of the country roads, passing all the amazing farm houses and land, i kept telling Mike that this was the place we should live... get a dairy farm, live in the country. Seriously It.Was.Gorgeous. Mike kept having to remind me we weren't farmers. And that the winter would most definitely change my mind. Still, we gotta go back. I may have fell in love. </div>

The Dells is only about 3 hours from us...so no big deal at all. Davis was absolutely ready for this road trip! </div>

Macky also did wonderful. He played in the water a teeny bit, but mostly slept. I still can't believe we have a baby that will sleep while we are out and about. I thought that was a myth! Anyway that gave us a lot of time to hang out with our other 3 littles and really play. </div>

We even had a date night! While I think most everyone else opted to leave the hotel and check out the town, Mike and I opted to take our 3 hours kid free and go back to the water park and ride all the rides we wanted together, NO KIDS. and kids, it was awesome! Once we had our fill, we quickly showered, went down to the lounge and had some dinner together before picking up the kids and having ice cream. It was a pretty stellar night...</div>

and so it begins, our journey through 18 years of formal education, starting with Kindergarten...and boy were they ready! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We've been talking with and preparing the twins for Kindergarten for a while now, especially after their graduation from preschool. They've both been very excited about it all summer. We attended their "unpack your backpack" night a week before school started in order to meet their teachers and get a chance to tour the school. It was on this night that it sunk in with Nora that she and Holden wouldn't be together in class. Where this news didn't seem to phase Holden at all, Nora seemed overwhelmed by everything and shed a few tears at the end of the night. I was a little shocked, but honestly should have expected it. New things always throw her for a loop and this would be the first time she went somewhere completely on her own. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The first day of school for grades 1-5 was actually just orientation day for Kindergartners and their parents. Nora was emotional on this morning as well but i assured we'd be with her all day and that she would be having fun. Of course while Mike and I sat in meetings the kids all went off to do fun things like scavenger hunts and art projects. That's all it took really. Nora had a good time that day and by the next morning, their first day of "real, drop-off school" she was fine. No tears. Just these smiles you see below. </div>

And yes, Holden's aspirations at this point are to be a garbage collector. We can always count on Holden to pick something unique. When trying to clarify, Holden informed me he wanted to be the person who rides on the back and actually puts the trash in the truck. Davis of course was listening and told me he wanted to be the driver. So there you have it guys. The start of our new family business. Mike and I are so proud. </div>

and an even cuter surprise was that they were wearing their lunch box notes i left for them! I couldn't get to my fun papers easily the night before because all of that stuff hasn't been unpacked yet... but i ran across this foam stuff that has adhesive on the back. I figured it was as good to write on as anything else...but i didn't really expect they'd figure out it was a sticker! Still it made this momma smile to see that they may be in elementary school now, but they aren't too big to think that momma's notes are uncool yet! </div>

(still a month behind) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Seven Months of Macky</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Have I said yet how much we all love this little guy. He's just so incredibly sweet with a smile that melts your heart every. single. time. and the older he gets the sweeter his personality becomes. There's always someone around the house willing to hang out and play with this baby. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We started off his seventh month by heading to the doctor for a checkup. Macky weighed 19 lbs 2 oz and 28 in long and he's wearing mainly 9 and 12 month clothes. He also has more hair than his siblings ever had, and yes it looks a bit reddish in the light. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As we settled back into life in Iowa and stopped moving around so much Macky started to sleep better again. He also started forming an actual schedule with his naps and eating. Predictability in babies is always a good thing. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Eating is still going well. He sticks to baby food and momma's milk for the moment. We tried him on real bananas a few times. He hates them, not sure whether the problem is the taste of the banana or the texture of real food, but for now we stick with jarred mush :) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He's still on a rolling strike, it drives me crazy. I'm always having to save him from becoming a beached whale. We officially took him out of the woombie this month. He still prefers to sleep swaddled, but he's gotta figure out the rolling again, so the extra time trying to move around in the crib will hopefully help. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Our biggest 7 month news is his two bottom teeth that FINALLY pushed their way through. The whole house has been thankful for this--a lot more sleep and a lot less fussiness. Oh teeth. Why must they be such a pain? </div>
