New Pics

Sorry I haven't updated in FOREVER!!! So is the life of a mama of a newborn and toddler:) Not to mention an ice storm last week that left us stuck inside for 4 days straight AND my laptop crashed LOL Yep it was a FUN one! So you get to enjoy some loverly crazy pics of us from when we were stuck inside....

LOVE that they actually "play" together now:)

Stuck inside with him for a week and she learns to not beat him anymore LOL

Sweet chubs

He has the most beautiful big blue eyes

See how long he is getting?!?!

He was watching cartoons with Bella

Yep-this was towards the end of the week when we were getting real looney

HA thats the face she makes when she KNOWS she did something wrong but thinks its hilarious-someone needs to tell her its NOT suppose to be fun to get in trouble (you'd think she was my kid or something LOL)

Self-portrait:)

Got a visit from Aunt June (gotta love Bella's "pearls" and pom pom)

The huge limb that bounced off the gutter and rolled down the flag pole

One Month!!!

Time has FLOWN!!! I cannot believe Hunter is already a month old (and we've survived a whole month with two kiddos LOL). I fall more in love with him every day. We are adjusting-Bella goes back and forth between loving on him and being all sweet to hitting him on top of the head and bursting into tears out of the blue. So we're gonna work on giving her more of her own time with each of us away from Hunter. She has been an AWESOME help!!!!

Ok so I wrote this almost 2 weeks ago now when Hunter had just turned a month old LOL We're learning how quickly germs can spread amongst 4 people:( We weighed Mr. Man last week at my Papa's (weighed me alone and then me holding Hunter-has turned out to be pretty accurate in the past) and he weighed in at 11 lbs. That is the same that Bella weighed at 3 months!! I know she was TINY but WOW!!!! Typical feeding for him is breastfeeding on both sides and then 2-5 oz of formula. The boy LOVES to eat!!!

Sweet lil man- his umbilical cord FINALLY fell off on Sunday!! We went to change his diaper and it was gone-stuck up in the top of his shirt LOL

Sissy being nice and playing with HER brudder


Daddy and his sweet babies

Bella in her poodle skirt from Aunt Annette-she had so much fun prancing around in that!!!

Priss and her goofy smile

I love this goofy face!!!

Looking good

Sweet boy

STOP with that flashy thing!!!

Yep still not liking it

Don't make me throw gang signs Mama!!!

big beautiful blues

Update from the Infirmary

GREAT news first- Hunter tested negative for RSV!!! Kind of scary when that is the very first thing the pediatrician does when she hears his cough-shove the RSV swab up his nose. He does have bronchiolitis with a wheezy cough that will likely last another 3 wks and be worse before it gets better (HA and we just thought we had gotten his nights and days straightened up and would be getting sleep). We have to watch him real closely for pneumonia.

I have bronchitis and am starting my 2nd round of antibiotics. Bella sounded better this morning. Ben was congested all night but hopefully the OTC stuff kicked in.

I'm ready for winter and its yukky germs to hit the road!!!!

YAAAAY!!!!

He took a bottle!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOO Everybody that was around when Bella was a newborn knows how exciting this is:) Bella would NEVER take a bottle no matter how hungry she was (AND it was pumped breastmilk!!!) so this is HUGE!!! I'm officially going to become a pumping maniac. I love my baby boy more than I could ever imagine but it is such a relief to know I will not have to be overwhelmed with not being able to leave his side in case he gets hungry. YAY for my boys-Daddy did an awesome job with the first bottle!!!

Merry Christmas!!!

Hope everyone had a beautiful holiday!! We were obviously very blessed this year to spend it with both of our babies, as well as lots of family. Hunter slept through most of it but Bella had a BLAST!!!

Playing with her glowstick at the Christmas Eve Service:) She had SOOOO much fun dancing and singing!!!

The boy has had enough!!!!
