Heard at the Hamberlin's-April

Here are some of our best one liners from the month of April!
 PAXTON:
-Paxton has been into making up elaborate stories lately!  On our trip to St. George he told me, "I saw a lizard in the water and Abby deaded it with a big rock like a big as a couch!"
-Also in St. George we were trying to decide on somewhere to eat and Pax kept asking "Where are we going?"  I told him he would just have to wait and see...apparently he was not going to wait and see because from the backseat he exclaimed, "I know it we're going to the future!!"
-One night we heard him moaning and groaning in his bed which usually means that it is going to be a long night...well he ended up crawling in bed with Andy while I was feeding Kyson and all of the sudden he started yelling, "You ate all of the BBQ sauce...you really did that, I can't believe you ate all of the BBQ sauce."
-Andy had had a bloody nose in the middle of the night one night and had accidentally left one of his bloody tissues on his nightstand.  Paxton came in the next morning and was quite concerned about what had happened.  After I explained about the bloody nose he thought about it for a bit and explained, "Dad must have picked his nose in public...that's how you get a bloody nose."
-Pax had to give a talk in primary a few Sunday's ago about the responsibilities of Moms and Dads.  I was helping him give the talk and I whispered in his ear "dads have responsibilities too."  Pax looked up at me with a confused face and said, "No they don't, Dad's are awesome!!"
-At dinner one night Paxton was trying to convince me that he could eat dinner on the couch.  His argument, "I'm allergic to eating at the table but I'm not allergic to eating on the couch!"
-Everytime...and I mean everytime Paxton burps he exclaims "Burp King" and often adds "Where's my burp trophy?"  We are working really hard on excuse me and so far have gotten him to say "Burp King, excuse me."
-Okay last one...my mom came and stayed with us for a few days while our babysitter was on vacation.  On the way home from school Paxton was telling me what he had done with Grandma that morning.  He was telling me how Tegan had gotten in trouble and his reaction to that.  The story went a little bit like this..."I was just staring at Grandma and at Tegan and at the couch and then I...wait what does staring mean."  I told him it meant to look at someone for a long time and he continued, "Oh yeah that is exactly what I was doing!"

TEGAN
-Tegan has also been talking in his sleep quite a bit lately and his ramblings also seem to revolve around food...The other night he was sound asleep begging me to get him some fruit snacks!
-Everything with Tegan is "Watch this"  watch him do tricks, watch him eat, everything.  The only thing he doesn't want us to watch is him playing the iPad!

Kyson*3 Months

Kyson is 3 months old already and we are loving it!!  
He is still growing like a weed and luckily we didn't have to go to the doctor this month so we have no idea exactly how much he weighs or how tall he is...all we know is that he is a big chubby boy!!
His eating schedule has changed a little bit this month and he now prefers to eat more at a time but less often!  He is wearing mostly size 6 month clothes and size 3 diapers!  
 He has had quite a few firsts this month including:
*While we were in St. George he slept through the night (10 hours) and has been sleeping until about 6 in the morning 2-3 times a week!
*He is cooing up a storm and has figured out how to laugh!  His laugh makes my day!
*He loves his binky...not just any binky just the hospital binky.  We tried a different binky and he wouldn't have it.
*He has had some trouble with constipation so he gets to drink a little bit of prune juice everyday to help him out and he loves it!
*We took him on our first road trip and found out that he is not a huge fan of car rides.  I think it is time to get him some toys and a mirror to keep him entertained!
*He is still sleeping in a bassinet in our room because he rarely cries when he wakes up...he usually just hangs out and rustles around in his blankets until I hear him and that makes me a little bit nervous to put him in his own room.
*He is happy 90% of the time but that other 10% watch out because he has a temper and that boy already knows how to get his way!

Tegan's 3rd Birthday Interview

Our Tegan Drew turned 3!!  He is such a smart, fun, happy, energetic little boy...we just love him!
 In following tradition, we completed Tegan's first birthday interview the day before his birthday...and then again on his birthday so that we could record it!  Of course he gave us completely different answers on a few of the questions so we will go with all of them!
Name: Tegan Drew Hamberlin
Age: 10 (actually 3...he is convinced he is 10)
Favorite Color: Green or Pink
Favorite Food: Applesauce (he also loves cereal, pancakes, chicken nuggets, hotdogs, sandwiches, and any kind of fruit!  He used to be our best eater but now he is getting picky and is definitely a grazer.  I think the phrase I hear from him most often is, "Mom I need a snack!")
Favorite Song: ABCDEFG (Tegan loves music...he is always singing something!  He loves to watch music videos on the internet and not just kids songs...he knows what is popular on the radio and wants to listen to that song.  He is our child that is always yelling "Louder, louder, turn up my favorite song Mom" to the songs he loves on the radio!)
Favorite Book: Animals (He currently loves Pete the Cat)
Favorite TV Show: Sheriff Callie's Wild West, Team Umi Zoomi, and Wallykazam
Favorite Movie: The Croods (We are also frequently watching Frozen and Monsters University
Favorite Animal: Lion
Favorite Snack: Fruit Snacks (we probably go through 2 Costco size cases of fruit snacks a month...he loves them!  He also loves to snack on go-gurts, applesauce, crackers, and marshmallows.)
Favorite Drink: Juice that's red or water
Favorite Toy: Animals (I would have to say that his favorite toy is the iPad!  He could play that thing for hours and thank goodness he loves it because of the iPad and a little bit of work from his parents he can name all of his letters, most of his letter sounds, and is starting to name the first sound in a word.  He can count to 20 and recognize most of his numbers up to 12!  He is one smart cookie!!)
Favorite Sport: Soccer (He says soccer but he isn't really into sports like his brother...he is much more into technology.  He loves anything that has a screen and buttons to push!
 Tegan is such an awesome kid and we are so lucky to have him as a part of our family!!  
We love you Tegie Boo!
Update: We finally got him to the doctor for his 3 year well check and his stats are in!!  At 3 years he weighs in at 29.6 pounds (23%) and is 37.9 inches tall (63%).
