Isaac-5 months

Isaac turned five months old while we were on our summer vacation.  He is getting to be a pretty hefty little fella!  The week we got back we actually went to the doctor (because he took a fall off the changing table-he's fine!) and while we were there they weighed him.  He is 14 pounds, 7 ounces.
  • Over the past month, he began eating solids.  Started first with banana, avacado and oatmeal.  We were excited to see that he started off eating better than Karis (it took us several months to get her to like eating food!)  He gets excited when you put the bib on him while he's in his highchair because he knows he's about to eat some food!
  • He is rolling over (still hasn't mastered the back to belly roll)
  • He likes laying on his tummy for extended periods of time
  • He giggles and smiles A LOT!
  • He went on his first long road trip (our family vacation to TN)
  • He discovered his toes
  • He is getting better at sleeping through the night and we're close to being completely done with the middle of the night feeding.
  • He is learning to handle his paci and attempt at putting it in his mouth, sometimes successfully.
Most everything else seems to be a blur...as with all infants they grow and change so quickly.  It's hard to keep up with it all, especially chasing after big sister too!

Adding to the Family!

Sitting down to write this blog post has been a long time coming (well at least 20 weeks or so!) But we are excited to announce that we are expecting our fourth child! Below, you will see some pictures highlighting parts of this pregnancy so far and also I talk about the name we have chosen for our little guy. Enjoy! I'm starting with this picture, because this little guy (left) pictured here with our son Isaac, I like to say is the reason we are having another baby, haha! Isaac has been smitten with this little one since he first held him as a baby two years ago and he began praying we would have another baby, specifically a boy! It's such a neat part of this story to me and I'm so thankful for our son's heart ( and friends who have cute kiddos!) This was taken right after we told the kids I was pregnant. We bought them a book titled "New Baby" and it took a while for them to clue in, because we have several friends that are currently pregnant...

Dear Grandma...

Today is my grandmother's birthday. This is a big deal. Today she celebrates 93 full and amazing years here on earth. My grandma is a special lady (more on that in a minute) and the only grandparent I ever knew (long story for another time). I often think it's amazing that my kids get to know all four of their grandparents, and we cherish the moments when we are all together. The past couple of years have been a bit up and down for my grandma in regard to her health and honestly I hate being across the world during this time and also a bit envious when my brothers and cousins get to visit her when they are able (so all y'all give her a hug when you see her next for me!) It's never easy being apart from family, but especially when one is ill. So I write, because it's what I can do...no she's not going to be on Facebook reading the link to our blog, but I know my mom will gladly call her and read this to her. So grandma, here is my birthday present to you! Dea...

Surprise Arrival!

Image
This is a long post. But many of you have asked about the story of Milo's arrival. So I wanted to take time to write it out, details and all. But  for those who don't want to read the entire story with all the details, feel free to scroll through and just look at the pictures! A lot of you were shocked to hear of his arrival...so were we! (After all, we were still 25 days out from his due date when he made his appearance). I had just gone to my 36 week checkup two days prior, all was healthy and well with baby and with me and there were no signs of early labor. At that appointment, the doctor said that I was 1 cm dilated, but honesty I knew I could be at that for several weeks before seeing any progress to labor. I had a long list of nesting projects I had been slowly working on and was hoping to finish before Milo’s arrival.  Thursday morning rolled around, I realized I was beginning to show signs of possible labor nearing, but still wasn’t too alarmed just yet, after all...
