15 Weeks Old!

Just some pictures of me having fun with my boy. He looked so cute in his overalls and was in such a good mood.

He is really into talking and will hold very long conversations with you and by himself when he is in his crib. The thing I am loving these days is that his hair is getting to be just like the girls when they were babies. His hair used to be silky soft but now it is getting fuzzy and sticks up like a little chickie. :-)

I am also enjoying how much more active he is. He never seems to stop kicking his legs or punching out his arms. It looks like he is punching me while I feed him because his little arm never stops coming at me. I am thinking we have a future athlete on our hands. Maybe a boxer or baseball player.

His new way to fall asleep is to suck on a blanket. I was glad to capture the last picture of that before turning off the camera. I am lucky to have such a good sleeper... and a sweet boy!

Hmm... my arm tastes pretty good

Let me tell you a story...

He loves to suck on blankets to fall asleep

When I Growed Up

Last night Alyssa didn't want to go to bed. I brought her into bed with me and she cuddled up to me and started rubbing her nose against mine. That was a special "kiss" we made up when she was very small. It was nice to know she still remembers. She started whispering to me since she knew Kaylee and Aiden were sleeping and she was saying the funniest things.

Right before we were falling asleep she whispered, "Mommy, when I growed up I want to be a mermaid." Not really sure how that will work out for her but it sure was cute.

Thankful

It makes me thankful to see pictures of the kids looking so happy when I am away at work. But, it also breaks my heart that I am not the one there making them smile.

Thanks for the pictures, Angela. And more importantly, thanks for filling their days with things to make them smile.

First Video Post

Just testing this out. It is a short video of Aiden and it has sound.

Who is the real baby?

The girls can't seem to stay out of the baby toys. They put each other in the swing and sit in the bouncy seats to watch tv. I think they are a little confused about who the real baby is.

And yes, she is wearing her bathing suit inside. She decided that is what she felt like wearing that day. HaHa.

14 Weeks Old!

What are you up to at 14 weeks old?

You are holding your own head up really good, bringing things up to your mouth to chew on, giggling a lot more, grabbing for toys, and "talking" more. You are usually always smiling unless you are tired or hungry. You fight your sleep now because you are so nosy about what is going on around you. Your sisters love to both hold you at the same time and Kaylee thought it was really funny when you sucked on her hand. They also like to play "good dinosaur-bad dinosaur" with you like in the picture below. You love the noises they make with the toys and don't even seem to mind when they are not as gentle with you as Mommy would like. I think you have taken on the role of their favorite toy!

3 Month Check Up

Aiden had his 3 month check up yesterday. He weighed in at nearly 15 pounds which was in the 75% percentile for his age and he was off the charts for height at 25 1/2 inches long. According to the nurse that is the typical length of a 6 month old. I guess he will fit right in with the rest of us. He also had a shot which he hated. He turned bright red and then proceeded to scream for the next half an hour. I guess he wanted to make his dissatisfaction very clear. :-)

Little Monkey

A little of both worlds....

Who wants to just play with just girl toys or boy toys when you can have more fun playing with both?

Perfect example: Kaylee dressed up like a princess and wearing this mask while chasing her sister around trying to scare her. :-)

Babies Everywhere

There is only a 6 month difference between Aiden and his cousin Riley. They can't play together yet but I know they will have a lot of fun together in a few months.

Here are some pictures of them from this past Sunday. Some of them came out blurry but they are all cute!
