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!!

Welcome to our Family!!!

Well….no big surprise I am way behind these days on posts

but what can I say other than I am one busy Mommy… 3 kids under 5….yep “3” we welcomed our sweet baby boy into our family June 12, 2010 at 8:14 AM!!!

“Peanut”
weighed 8lbs and was 20.5in long

Big Sister Pumpkin was thrilled to pieces to welcome her new brother and could hardly wait to hold him. As Pumpkin says “I will not share him with anyone just my family”.


Big Sister “Boo” took a bit longer to warm up to the idea…she did not like seeing Mommy at the hospital and was not sure what to make of this baby everyone was making a fuss over. However, I’m happy to say that by the time we got home….she took to the “big sister” roll like a champ!!!


Peanut has been my best sleeper yet!!! Whoohoo for 3-4 hour stretches!! He nurses like a champ and has a wonderful disposition. I love his big baby blue eyes…his button nose…skinny little legs…and super soft chubby cheeks!! O’how… I love him and love being a mom to “3” wonderful children!!!

Welcome to the world…and welcome to our crazy family!!

We’re Back!!

Whew!! It feels good to say that!! I’m not sure what happened; my life seemed to take a turn in 100 different directions all at once, and I truly lost focus!! It went from Summer spinning into Fall …preschool enrollment …fast forwarding to now pregnant with #3 and looking forward to what the future brings!!

I had to take a break from homeschool planning/doing for a bit to get things back in order. My intent is to start back full swing with homeschooling after the first of the year. However, Pumpkin LOVES doing school with mommy so what is mommy to do other than a little ….impromptu school!!

Pumpkin is learning to write and gets so excited when you let her practice!! Im just going to enjoy these moments from what I understand it doesn’t last long 🙂

And Im so excited to introduce our new classmate…K.Bear!! Yep, my baby girl is ready to learn with big sissy!! Making her “foot turkey” for Thanksgiving!! She is so proud..not bad for 16 months!! I can’t wait to see what January brings..thanks so much to all of you who have stuck with us on our much needed “down time!”
