Why Turkeybirds? Why Bitsy, Bopsy & Boo? I have a million nicknames for my kids including, but not limited to: This one, that one, love, lovey, lovey lamb, lovey dove, J, K, L, Luker Duker, K-bird, JJ, JJ the jet plane, Jack Jack Attack, K-man, Lukie Dukie, and on and on.
I love nicknames. They mean intimacy and love and family. They mean affection and endearment. Terms of endearment... someone should write a movie about that and cast some crackpot like Shirley McClain. Anywho, I love nicknames! Maybe it's because I've had so many and gave Nate his first one which stuck and now everybody calls him that so I need to think up a new one.
Turkeybird is how you describe a feisty 2 year old. Bitsy, Bopsy and Boo are my boys and those names are interchangeable and can also be combined, as in "Bitsy Boo what's wrong."
We are also an alphabetical family: Jack, Kaden, Luke, Marjie, Nate. It's all sort of accidentally on purpose. I don't plan on having a family of 26 to get all the letters in there but I never say never! I've learned that as a mom.

Boo
Our latest edition is 7 months old. After having Luke and K so close together we decided to take a bit of a break before we grew our family. Jack came on the scene and we were all instantly in love. It was fun to see the older boys with their new brother.
Jack is currently rolling and schooching all over. Not quite crawling yet but he has the army crawl down and is working on getting up on all fours. He has two teeth with several more in the works and ate his first "puff" tonight. He was able to get the puff between his thumb and finger and get it into his mouth. First he made a "This is horrible" face but that slowly changed into "hey this isn't so bad" face.
J loves to talk about "dada" and he will break his neck trying to locate his brothers if he hears them. He's a super easy baby who loves to give hugs. His reaction is different for each of us though. For Luke and K, he will raise his arms up and down and bang on things like he wants to play. When he sees Nate he will get his legs going and for me he stretches out like he wants to be held.
He also like to flirt. This consists of smiling at the ladies and then burying his head in my shoulder, peeking out and starting that whole process again. It's quite fetching!
Jack was probably our most planned kid. We knew we were ready for another baby and poof.. there he was! I found out I was pregnant 4 days before our 10th anniversary. This was the earliest I had ever found out... I was only 4 weeks and with Luke and K I was more like 9-10 weeks. Anyhow, I decided to wait and tell Nate on our anniversary. I had it all planned out. We went to a fancy hotel and had a fabulous dinner out. I gave him his gift and a card and then said I had one more gift. He asked me to wait a second, grabbed something from his bag and came right back. I told him and then he was sweet and excited and handed me a card. I opened it up and it said "So you are expecting a baby..." HE ALREADY KNEW! I didn't think it was possible but the guy said he just knew. And we lived happily ever after...
