Sleeping Beauty

Sick

Sleeping Beauty

Miss Brooklyn could not seem to stay awake during lunch time! We've all been struggling with sickness this past week and it really shows. Twice, in two days, she drifted off to sleep at the table. It was the most precious thing!

The Polar Express

For several years now, we've always watched The Polar Express as our month long tradition of fun Christmas movies! This year, we decided to head over to Palestine and hop aboard a real train to experience it first hand. My parents and grandmother came with us and we all had a blast!

Watching the movie the night before

A few pictures before boarding the train

Arent these girls the sweetest?!

All aboard!!

After hot chocolate and a cookie, we listened to the story on our way to the North Pole

Once we arrived, none other than Santa himself, boarded the train and handed out the first gift of Christmas-a jingle bell

We then left the North Pole and sang Christmas carols the whole way back to the station

We had a great time on The Polar Express and I would recommend it to anyone with little kids!

Thanksgiving 2012

Happy 1st Thanksgiving, my precious boy!

Family Pictures

My sweet cousin took pictures of us the other day. She doesn't charge me a dime (I only pay for pictures and Christmas cards) and I think she does a pretty good job! Thanks Windy, we love you! Here are a few of my favorites from our session:



Easton-2 months

My sweet boy,

I can hardly believe that 2 months have already passed since your birth! You are the most handsome little man and my love for you is immense. I never knew how much fun it could be to have a little boy and I am so grateful that the Lord decided to bless our home with you!

Last week, we went to see Dr. Smith for your 2 month well check. He only confirmed what we already knew...you're perfect! :) You are a healthy baby boy and you did great during your check-up. Here are the stats and a few fun facts about you these days:

-weigh 13lbs. 11oz. (90th percentile) and are 23.5 inches long (75th percentile). You continue to be my bigger baby!
-wearing 3 month clothing now and mommy (sadly) packed up all of your newborn things.
-nursing every 2-3 hours and will also take breastmilk or formula from a bottle, if need be.
-have slept through the night a few times but typically wake up once a night. Usually go "down" about 10, wake up anywhere from 2-4am to nurse and then again about 7. You sleep well during the day, usually taking a good morning, afternoon and evening nap.
-smiling (and it's so sweet) and trying to make cooing sounds.
-trying to focus on things (overhead lights, your mobile, peoples faces)
-received your shots at your most recent check-up

And of course, a post wouldn't be complete without ample CUTE pictures!

Love you sweet boy!
