Jack is 5 months old

Jack is 5 months old. He weighed 14.3 lbs at his doctors visit yesterday and we have moved him up to size 2 diapers. He is such a little flirt. He will smile at anyone. He is now eating every 2 1/2 hours and sleeping through the night. He has his morning nap down, but only takes one hour cat naps in the afternoon. He is rolling both ways and never stays in one place when I put him on the floor. He loves the Johnny Jump Up and exersaucer. He reaches for everything and is really into his toys. He is a great sleeper sleeping 12 hours at night with one dream feed and can put himself to sleep like a champ. He loves to put everything in his mouth and loves being held. our baby is growing up too fast!

Name Writing

Gracie wrote her name for the first time today without ANY help. We have been working on it the past few weeks. We have traced it, glitter and glued it, dot markered it, practiced in the air...but she was still very hesitant to write it without help. She is such a perfectionist that she wanted it to be perfect. Well Daddy's shaving cream on the bath tub wall did the trick! She practiced on the wall and got out of the tub and wrote it without any help!


I know the G and C are backwards...it's a developmental thing that we will work on. The brian isn't developed enough to tell a difference. I'm just so excited she has finally taken interest in it!!!

Valentines Day

We had a great Valentine's Day!!! It started with a family Pancake party.


Everyone got a few "treats" and opened their Valentines. The girls loved their dress up stuff.



Then it was off to school to pass out their Valentines to their friends.



The girls had a blast at school. Here are some pictures from Gracie's party that a mom sent me. I don't have any pictures from Caroline's class.






While the girls were celebrating, Jack's cough got really bad and he started having labored breathing. I rushed him to the dr and thank goodness a breathing treatment helped him breathe easier. His pulse ox returned to normal. Meanwhile Daddy had to pick the girls up from school and drop Gracie at Ballet.



Once he was feeling better we rushed to pick up Gracie from dance. The girls came home and dumped all of their yummy Valentines out and enjoyed the treats. Daddy brought all his girls roses and dinner from Central Market. It was a crazy day, but a fun one!!!!

Boat Show

Tyler took the girls to the boat show this afternoon. They had a blast seeing Nonnie and Paul. Look what Gracie did!

Princess Playdate

Look at all of these cute princesses! Nothing like playing dress up with your girlfriends.

If You Give A Mouse A Cookie

Bebe came in last night to visit us. We had a great time with her. This afternoon she took the girls to the Children's Theater to see If You Give A Mouse A Cookie. The girls loved it!







Thanks Bebe for coming to visit!

Happy Birthday Tyler

We celebrated Tyler's last weekend! The girls loved practicing blowing out the candles with Uncle Thomas!








Caroline loved the cupcakes.

Happy Birthday Tyler!!! We love you.

Jack is 4 months old!

Jack started laughing!! He likes to roll from his tummy to his back and can sometimes roll from back to front. I cant ever get him to stay in the place when i put him down. He moves all over his crib and floor in his room. He has settled into his 8:00 bedtime and loves interacting with the girls. He has outgrown his swing but loves his exersaucer. Unfortunately, he has found his thumb. We try to keep him from sucking it but at night he does it in his crib to put himself back to sleep. He has become a better sleeper sleeping 6-7 hours at night. The more sleep I get the more life returns to normal. He weighed 13 1/2 pounds and was almost 25 inches long at his 4 month check up.
