Seth-2 months

My sweet baby boy is two months old today! I can't believe it, he's getting big too fast! We had his two month appointment today (with his shots:( and he is doing great and growing fast.

* He is now smiling every day!
* He weighs 12.6 pounds
* He is 23.25 inches long

* He is starting to coo at us some and make a few cute little noises
* He nurses every 3 hours during the day
* He usually only wakes up once a night to eat. He will go 4-5 hours between feedings and has gone 6-7 hours a few times.

* He has some reflux and spits up a lot and fusses some but we just changed his medicine today so hopefully it will help soon!
* He is usually pretty happy and sweet unless his tummy is upset.

* He still wears size 0-3 months clothes but he is growing out of them quickly!
* He still wears size 1 diapers

* He is staying on a pretty good Babywise schedule- feed, wake, sleep!
* He naps several times a day
* He sleeps in his bassinet in our room at night and naps anywhere but we are napping him more in his bed.

* He loves his bouncey seat, swing, and bath time!
* The girls are doing great with him and are very helpful! We all love him so much!

Snow Storm 2011

It started snowing Sunday afternoon and didn't stop for several hours! At least 6 inches later and two days out of school for us! It was so pretty to watch. The girls were so excited and couldn't wait to play out in it. They didn't last very long at all though and it takes a while to get them all bundled up! We have very girly girls who don't like to be wet and cold. They did sled a little with their daddy and some friends but came in very cold and crying. We had a fun two lazy days at home and Tadd was even off from work on Monday with us.

Daddy posing in the snow with his girls!

I took a quick picture and headed back in to Seth.

Sophie needed to come in and warm up by the fire with some Hot Chocolate.

Ella came in after sledding with wet feet despite wearing her layers and rain boots. She was in tears and said that ants were biting her feet, she thought this because her feet were stinging from the cold. It was actually kind of funny that she thought that afterwards.


Everything was covered! I think we had over 6 inches of snow and it snowed more into the night after we took these pictures!

The kids after Church just waiting on the snow to start falling! They were so excited!

Sweet Seth

With 3 kids my posts and pictures are getting pretty long! So here are a lot of pictures of our sweet boy in some of his cute little hats!! He has a cute football hat that he wore to Church and a cute little Bomber hat that Gabby and Ginger gave him for Christmas. He wore the bomber hat on the snow day with some cute little fur rain/snow boots that matched. I forgot to take a picture of those. He's such a sweet baby who probably gets tired of his picture being taken so much ha! Enjoy

Lately

These are just a few of the things that we have been up to lately...
Seth is six weeks old and now smiling and starting to make cute little faces.

He now weighs a big 11.10 lbs., so he is growing and eating well!

We had to start him on some reflux meds this week for his little tummy.

We have been playing lots of Wii.

Wearing cute hats and hanging out by the fire

Silly sisters have been playing together a lot

Sophie, Seth and I went to the Library this week with some friends for story time where she made this cute little polar bear craft. She wanted to pose with it, several times. The Library time was fun and we will have to go back. My Mom is smiling down on us, as the teacher in her has probably wanted me to take the kids to the library for a while now!! (She loved reading and used to take my sisters girls to story time when she could.)

Sophie and I having lots of sweet time together with Seth, now that the Holidays are over and Daddy is back at work and Ella is back to school.

Ella and I trying out some of her new Christmas presents, her Easy Bake Cake Maker. Lets just say I didn't find it so easy with all the fondant icing, etc.

We had fun together trying to make the tiny little bite size cakes look pretty though! She is getting to be such a big, smart girl!!

We did lots of things around the house while Tadd was off! Seth's shelves are finished and decorated in his room.

We watched LOTS of late night movies waiting on Seth's last late night feeding! We also cleaned and organized lots of things after Christmas. (We had like 7 trash bags full of old toys and things from upstairs and everywhere else, have to make room for the new Christmas things to be put up.)

We also painted a wall in our bedroom blue. I spend so much time in there feeding Seth I wanted to brighten it up a little and add some color.

So here is a recap of our past few weeks, mostly for me, so I can remember how we spent this busy time and the end of our Holiday break.
