Gingerbread House

L. enjoyed putting the candies on the house (didn't want my help but let me put on a few)  and discovered the icing tastes good toward the end of decorating.

Christmas preparation

L. is really excited about all the Christmas decorations this year. She wants to take the ornaments off the tree and play with them. She keeps saying "look at the Christmas tree and the lights!" C. is becoming more verbal and was responding to Lela's noises the other day by making his own. He's really trying to grab anything in his reach as well.  We're taking advantage of the warmer December weather by playing at the park.

Thanksgiving

We enjoyed time with my family in AL over Thanksgiving. L. enjoyed being there and seeing everyone. She also loved riding on the golf cart and playing with hot wheel cars at my parents house.

Happy 3rd Birthday

We enjoyed the birthday weekend for Lela. We started off with a birthday doughnut. Then my mom came in town on Friday and we had Tom's parents come over for the party on Saturday. She enjoyed the present opening and cake/ice cream. We're thankful for our sweet girl.

Halloween

October Happenings

L. helped me make some sugar cookies for Halloween to give as treats to her teachers. C. is a strong little boy who can lift his head well at 3 months and doesn't always enjoy tummy time. He started rolling from tummy to back at 6 weeks. We've been enjoying this beautiful fall weather and taking daily walks in the evening.

Pumpkin Patch

We had a good time seeing so many pumpkins in N. GA at a pumpkin patch. C is now 3 mo. and L is almost 3 years.

Pumpkin and Puppy Dog

L feels the need to lay right beside C when he is on this activity mat. She's adjusting more and more each day. We tackled potty training this week and she's getting the hang of it.

Big Helper

L. loves to hold her little brother. I'm glad she likes to be a helper (for the most part).

Two month stats

C. is growing well and weighed 11 lbs 9 oz at his last appointment. Thankful all is going well with his growth and with nursing (for most part). I let L. hold him for first time. She was proud to be able to hold him. She says she loves him all the time. She is doing better with adjusting to his crying and needing my attention, though Daddy gives her lots of extra attention these days.

Two months

C. is more awake now and is starting to smile. He's putting on weight and nursing well most times. I got 6 hours sleep for the first time last nite. L. seems to be adjusting better now - although she still wants to be held when we hold him and doesn't like me rocking him or patting him (tries to get me to stop). She also likes to sneak his pacifier into her mouth. I bought these dresses in Singapore over 12 yrs ago in hopes I could use them for my little girl. Thankful for both our little ones!

One month old

C had a good one month visit - weighing in at 9 lbs 12 oz. He's also nursing much better now. I'm hoping for a full nights rest soon. He's now 6 wks old and L. is adjusting a little better.

We're adjusting to our new life with 2 little ones. C. is doing well and gaining wt and sleeping more at night.

 L. is adjusting as well. She seems to like her brother (except when he cries).
