Look at that stare Jackson is giving John Carmine LOL!! I love it.. these 2 are going to be the best of friends just like their sisters' Presley and the Jeej!! Great times ahead for all of our 4 kiddos!!! LOVE THEM!!!

Gigi loves these cupcakes!!

A very sweet co-worker of mine is starting up her own baking business on the side and she asked me for my birthday what I would like her to make...everything she bakes is primo!!! You know me of course, I said I love Devil Dogs... so what did she do?  She made me the best Devil Dog cupcakes and Gigi went to town on them as well!!

21 weeks Squidpop!

Yes, I know I have crazy names for my little love... haha.. little one is getting so chunky and I love it, those legs!!! He is rolling over like crazy and making all kinds of taking sounds.. the mmmm, heh heh heh.. the giggling never stops which I just adore.. it is the best..always smiling at his mommy... my little gootsy... John is always up on his knees like he is getting ready to crawl. The strength this baby has and he is eating like there is no tomorrow God Bless him... we really think he is teething.. I started the homeopathic teething pills like I did with Gia... poor thing gets cranky from all of this teething stuff.. I see the 2 white teeth in the bottom gum line but they have not popped threw yet it could be awhile.. Gia popped her first tooth at around 7 months.. we will see.. Baby John seems to be doing things a lot faster... he is just so sweet..onto week 22!! Love you Squidpop!

Our sweet baby John!

Grandpa and his boy...

Gia always puts stuffed animals next to baby John... haha

Happy 9th Birthday to our Little Igby!

Igby you have been with me 9 years my little sweet face and then you met your dad and your brother Sonny 7 years ago... and the family has just grown and grown with Bella, Bosco, Gia, and baby John.. we love you so much... I know I sometimes call you my little "crotchety" old man, but you are and will forever be momma's little boy.. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY SWEET BOY!!

Little squidoo is 20 weeks!

I swear I heard him say Ma Ma yesterday.. which could totally be true because those sounds are really forming at this time.. teething tablets have started too as John is chewing on everything.. been giving him a cold wash cloth to bite on... oatmeal is 4x a day with formula 6-7 oz.. all is good. John will be crawling very soon, he is really scooting now.. That face of his.. little flirt... his little smiles and giggles are just the best... It is a hard stage now because we can tell he wants to move around but can't quite crawl yet.. it is one of those in between stages... ):  right now it is all about keeping our little italian stallion comfortable... We love you so so much our little squidpop!
