Kate kissing Alex

Alex & Kate both love to play with this thing. I told Kate, give Alex a kiss and she did!

Alex's first time in a swing! Jan 2011

Attempting to feed Alex cereal, Jan 2011

Since Alex was eating every 2 hours during the day and then also every 4 hours at night, I started him on cereal. I hated to start before 6 months, but I think he was just a growing boy and hungry! And it's been 3 days now and it worked!! He is still eating about every 2 hours during the day, but goes down around 6 and will sleep for 8 hours. YES!! I feel so much better! Getting up two times at night was really taking a toll on me!!

Alex jumping! Jan 2011

Play date

We had our friends over for a play date on MLK day and I was able to get some cute pictures of the kiddos.

Alex & Reese, Jan 2011

Here are some photos of Alex and baby Reese. They are one week and one day apart.

Alex lauging at 4 months

Alex is 4 months!!!

My baby boy turned 4 months old on Friday! I'm so sad. It seems to be going by too fast! And man is he growing! He can wear 6 month clothes! He is still fussy, very unhappy in a dirty diaper and still wants to eat EVERY 2 hours during the day!! He really wears me out--especially when he only takes 2 30 minute naps ALL DAY LONG!! Oh man! And all last week he went back to waking up during the night, not sure what that was about? But last night he finally slept from like 8ish until 5 this morning!! I feel so much better! He is really cute when he smiles and laughs! But man, when he is unhappy, watch out!! He really seems to love his feet!! He does enjoy sitting in the exersaucer, bumbo and laying under his play matt, which is the only way I can get anything done!!

I sometimes wish time would just pause and my babies would stay this little. Taylor Swift has this new song "Never Grow Up," and it fits how I feel so perfectly!

Cute Kiddos!

Mike reading to the kids:

It was super cold this morning so this is Kate's cold weather gear. Aunt Kristin gave her the hat and the pink boots!

Super cute Ladybug outfit! Gram gave her the outfit and Aunt Kristin gave her the ladybug shoes! And she also had a ladybug bow in her hair, she is so hard to take pictures of these days!

My boys:

Becca's baby Sophia

On Thursday, Alex and I visited my friend Becca who just had a baby. Here is baby Sophia! She was so tiny!

New hair do and an exersaucer

I finally got a much needed hair cut and a NEW Do!! Also, one of my friends let me borrow an exersaucer for Alex. He seems to like it! Thank goodness!

Happy Holidays!

A little late . . .

Kate's teacher made this card of Kate for us to give to her Grandparents right before Thanksgiving. I had good intentions of scanning it that day and posting it, but well that didn't happen. I threw it up on the fridge and well now I am finally posting it. Her MDO teacher also showed me a picture of Kate and her her classmates sitting around a table eating their Thanksgiving fest--I still don't know how they get seven 2 year olds to sit all at the same time and eat!! It amazing me!
