Watch Me Grow 7wks

7 Weeks….and the theme for this week should be “nothing but love”!!

Especially sisterly love…

Yep, this picture say’s it all big sister K.bear thought you needed a few toys to play with…not so sure you felt the same!! 🙂

You did forgive her obviously, since you are sitting quite contently on her lap…this was a rare photo op I might add as most of the time she is trying to squeeze the life out of you. “Monkey See, Monkey Do” after a short while on K.bear’s lap typically Pumpkin gets the last minutes of squeeze time!! Pumpkin enjoys being the oldest as she knows it has certain perks…a.k.a ‘trust’!!

I just love the baby pudge!! You are filling out the car seat just fine…and missing very few feedings these days. You are staying awake for longer periods of time and enjoying a little ‘play time’ ..

Snug as a bug!!

You went on your first wagon ride!! You also had your first big sleep over with ‘big’ cousin Jeffrey!! More and more firsts everyday…Mommy just hopes I can keep up with it all. With 3 kids under 5 and two in 22 months life is certainly happy chaos. Wouldn’t change a thing but just try to capture it all!!

Watch Me Grow 5/6 weeks

6 Weeks already!! Good news…I also think I have finally settled on a ‘blogger name’ up until now I have been referring to the little guy as ‘peanut’ (which is sort of false advertising since I can pretty much guarantee he is pushing 12 lbs) but without further ado meet “Mr. Smiles”!! As his personality comes out more and more each day….this boy loves to smile 🙂

We have been busy taking big sister Pumpkin to swim lessons M-F for the past 2 weeks…quite the commitment I might add!! She did awesome and is now a level ‘2’!! She loves to practice in Nonna and Papa’s pool. Below Papa is teaching Pumpkin how to float…Mommy can’t even do that one 🙂 K.Bear and Mr. Smiles were very, very good through all the lessons. K.Bear ate snacks and enjoyed playing in the baby pool…while Mr. Smiles slept or just enjoyed the warm breeze off of the lake. The weather has been ridiculously hot these days 90’s with near 100% humidity, yuck!!!

‘

I’m seeing blond? Blond hair that is if you look closely you can see a few wispy hairs on my bald baby’s head 🙂 My children rarely have hair before they are two!!

Mr. Smiles attended his first wedding for a 2nd cousin of his.

He was such a good boy….nursed..slept…smiled..nursed..slept….”Thanks for not getting us kicked out of there little guy”!! We were home by 10:30PM (real party animals I know..) he was all tuckered out at the end and slept until 3:00AM

5 weeks old…Mr. Smiles enjoyed his first over night stay on the boat!! He did quite well all things considered. There isn’t quite anything like a rocking boat and some fresh air to make a baby sleep!!

This picture is for Daddy the “Miss Geico” boat makes Daddy drool with excitement!!

Those are some big blue eyes after a nice warm bath!! Mr. Smiles loves bath time …and mommy loves the smell of a nice clean baby 🙂

Some Construction….
