Kate & Alex's stats

On Sept 17, we took both kids to the Dr.

Alex was 8 lbs, 6 oz (gained 10 oz in a week!!) & 20 inches.

Kate was 25 lbs (48%) & 32 1/2 inches tall (48%).

Dr Owens thought both kids looked great. We talked alot about Kate and her behavior. Dr Owens was impressed that she can count to 10,and that she knows all her letters and numbers. She seems to think Kate is just a very smart, but independent child!

Kate is two!!!

My baby turned two yesterday!! I can't believe she is two!! Crazy how fast time has gone! She was at MDO most of the day, then napped and really wasn't in the best mood last night. Friday morning we are having a party for her & her friends and then Saturday we are having a family party!

Alex's room

On Tuesday, while Kate was in school, we put Gram and PawPaw to work!! Mike and his Dad took Kate's crib apart and then moved it into Alex's room and put it back together. Gram and I worked on putting everything up in Alex's room. Now it is almost done, just need to buy letters for his name and put them above his crib. Also, we have some animal decals to put around his name. I want to recover the chair to match, too!

Meals & Great Friends!!

On Friday my Mom's group had a food drop for us! I will not be cooking for a long while!! Thank you so much to all you Mammas!!

Also, on Friday, Alex got to meet my friend Cassie's baby Reese. Alex and Reese were born only one week and a day apart! I see lots of play dates for our boys in the future!!

A Baby and Breakfast tacos!

Our friends Christy and Jake brought us over some breakfast tacos last Sunday and got to meet our little man. They are expecting a little girl any day now!!

Alex's first bath at home!!

Alex did great with his first bath at home! He didn't cry as much as Kate, which was nice!!

The Cousins visit

On Saturday, Sept 11, Mike and I both had cousins in town! Mike's cousin Mandy was driving thur so she stopped in to meet little Alex.



Then Mike, Gram, Kate and Mandy headed out to extreme fun! Kate had a great time!




Then Saturday night, my cousin, Jennifer came to meet Alex and to cook us some dinner!

Alex's First Doctor Visit

On Friday, Sept 10, Alex had his first doctor visit. I was so excited because he went from 7 lbs 9 oz to 7 lbs 13 oz!! Go Breastmilk! But he got shorter somehow? At birth he was measured to be 21 inches and at the doctor office he was measured to be 19 1/2 inches! Not really sure what to put on his birth announcement???

Also on Friday, Alex met my dear friend Stephanie and her Mom!

Alex's first day home

On Thursday, Sept. 9 we brought our little man home with us!! Mike dressed him and we were off for home in our new mini van! We were met at home by Gram and then Alex met his two hairy sisters, Sammy and Trudy. Sammy gave Alex sweet kisses and Trudy went crazy excited and we had to lock her out of the living room until she calmed down. Mike picked Kate up from MDO and Kate gave Alex a kiss and seemed worried about him if he started to cry! My friend Becca came by to meet Alex. Then Alex got to meet his Uncle Brian for the first time. It was nice to be home!
