2 Months Old and Catching Up....

I cannot believe J will be 2 months old tomorrow. Time has really flown by!! J is doing great. We went to the doctor at 6 weeks for checkup and shots. His stats were: 10 lbs 6 oz, 23 inches long. He is getting so big. It is hard to believe he was 4 weeks early and has already caught up to normal weight. We have had a few problems here and there with reflux, and tummy problems, but nothing compared to what we experienced with Taylor. He is finally sleeping better, and napping better. He really has pretty much the same schedule daily. He stays awake most of the morning, and naps really long after his lunchtime bottle. If we go somewhere in the car, he will sleep in his car seat for hours at a time. Taylor loves her baby brother so much. She is a really big help, and wants him to be able to play really bad. When we put him on the floor for tummy time, she goes nuts playing with him.. and he loves it!! He really knows the sound of her voice as much as his mommy and daddy's voice. He hasn't started smiling at us yet, only in his sleep. He has a lot of head control and would like to be able to hold it up all on his own. He is growing out of all his clothes, and we are constantly buying more. He still has a ton of hair and the prettiest blue eyes!! Her loves to be outside in the sunshine. He is so strong the nurse could barely hold his little legs still to give him the shots. He has his own little personality and we are loving every minute with him!!

We went to the beach for a week during Spring Break. It was a lot of fun to get the babies together. This was the first time J and Eli (a day apart) have met. It was weird to see how different they are in size. Toward the middle of the trip, the babies ended up on the same schedule and it was funny because one would cry, and then the other one would start, much like having twins I'm sure :) Taylor and Drew had a ball together, of course. They play so well together, and their Cici gives them whatever they want, so they are happy!!

My Mom and Tim, along with Drew, Holli, Madyson, and Lexi came to visit the weekend before we left for the beach. This was the first time they all met J, so it was fun!! The girls played all day and had so much fun. Needless to say, we have had a very eventful couple of weeks. I normally never take this long to update, but things change when you have 2 kiddos!! I promise to do better!! Enjoy the pics!!

I took the kids with me to a wedding shower here in Hattiesburg for Sadie. Taylor thought it was her birthday party, and helped her open ALL the gifts. She truly loved it!

Bright-eyed and bushy tailed!!

Beautiful Days

The weather was absolutely beautiful this past weekend. We spent Friday, Saturday, and Sunday outside most of the day. J loves sitting in the sun and Tay loves to play, of course. The weather was so warm we had to venture out and buy new flip flops for Tay. We went to the zoo on Sunday with Kayla, her mother in law, and the girls. They all had so much fun seeing the animals, and J slept the entire time. It was a great weekend to be outside and we hope to see more sun from now on!!


We love our new double stroller... Thanks MOM!!!
Tay is also sporting her new sunglasses her daddy bought her!

We have already gone through 2 boxes of side walk chalk. This girl loves to draw :)

5 and 6 week Pics!!

J is 6 weeks old today. He is getting so big. He is eating so much these days, it is hard for us to keep up. He is eating 5 oz bottles and sometimes a 6 oz, which is a lot for his age. When he gets really good and full, he will sleep for 6 hours at a time. He loves his car seat, and always falls asleep there. He is sleeping great at night, just while his mommy is holding him. We end up sleeping on the couch each night because I know he and I will both sleep. Since he is now 6 wks old, we will be trying the crib from now on. I hope and pray that he adjusts to his new sleeping spot. J is staying awake so much more these days. He looks around the room a lot to check things out. He has so much head control it is almost unbelievable. He can lift his head while on his tummy and look from side to side without dropping his head. He is so strong.... and strong willed!! We are having so much fun with this little guy!! We go to the beach on Monday for a week. I can't wait to see how well he like the sand and the car ride there :0 This will be our first road trip!!
