Baby Sis is Having a Baby!

Ahhh! That was my excited scream! I am so so excited to announce that my baby sis is going to have a baby of her own! She is a pretty awesome aunt, so I can only imagine how amazing her mommy skills will be! Baby Higgins is also a BOY! Im obviously so excited bc Ive always been nervous that I would be the only one in our family to have crazy boys! 

Baby Jackson Randall (unless it changes) 

Due February 16, 2015

The Curls

Every day that we're out and about, I get a compliment on Crew's curly hair. It's such a little baby fro, and always going every which way, that apparently it attracts attention! Ive also heard so many stories of how their baby once had the cutest curls, but eventually they got a haircut and the curls didn't grow back. This is my worst fear, im telling ya. I will seriously cry if those curls don't hang around. I get nervous with every little trim, that we are cutting off the cuteness! But every night, Eric combs Crew's hair out straight and as soon as it dries, it curls right back up!

I feel that I should document some of the cuteness and craziness of Crew's hair!

Things Gavin Says

Gavin has such a large vocabulary, and in my mom's words "he has a word limit he must reach each day." She says that I used to be the same way, so it's payback! Hehe. We start every morning with him needing a full run-down of what we are doing that day. And if I say, "we're gonna go to the library, then the grocery store, then eat lunch, then just have a good night!" He immediately comes back at me and says "No Mom! We're gonna eat breakfast, get dressed, go to the library, grocery store, come home, eat lunch, take naps, have a snack, play, take baths, THEN have a good night!" We can't leave anything out! 

Lately some of the things he has been saying have either had me speechless or cracking up so I wanted to jot a few down to remember! 

G: If anyone tries to get you or Crew, me and Daddy are gonna put our costumes on and GET EM!

Me: Who is Daddy gonna be? 

G: Superman, and Im Ironman

I was taking G to bed, and he was thirsty. But we were already all the way in bed, so I told him I wasn't going back down to get water. 

G: Mom can you make me a water and leave it on the kitchen table?

Me: yea, but when are you gonna come get it? 

G: about 11:30

Making G toast in the morning while he watches Transformers: 

G: Mom! You can't stand in front of me when Optimus Prime is TRANSFORMING!!

The other day I had a conversation with Gavin about how he's growing up too fast. How I want him to stay my little Gavvy, and always want to snuggle with Mommy. I asked him how old he is about to be: 

G: Im about to be 4, then 5, then 20! 

Me: No you can't get any bigger!!

G: Ok I wont eat anymore food, I'll just drink drinks so I dont get any bigger! 

That last one seriously struck a chord with me. I love our daily conversations and absolutely LOVE the age he is now bc he's still my baby but is so grown-up too. And he's right that one day he'll be 5, then the next...20. If only he knew how true that statement is for both Eric and I. We talk about Gavin all the time and what a big helper he has become and how much of a gentleman he is to his Mommy lately. Im sure I'll think of a million more "things Gavin says" and have a whole other post to keep you updated! 

Another Addition to the Fischer Boys!

Welcome Baby Welles Aiden Fischer to the fam! On August 22nd, Welles was born in the morning at a tiny little weight of 4.5 lbs! Good thing he is already a fighter because he had a rough start and spent some time in the NICU. But now the hospital stay is behind him and he is happy and healthy and growing cuter every day! 

Eric and I still have a few more weeks before we get to see him, but we can't wait to snuggle the next little boy in our family! Here's a few pics of Welles. :) 

Congrats and love you all!
