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!

Tay loves Sadie, Kyle.. she only likes him sometimes.. LOL!!

J sacked out on the way to the beach. He slept almost the entire way

We took Taylor to Build-A-Bear at the Destin Commons, and she LOVED it!! She made a bunny named Molly!!

He is liking his bath more and more these days!!

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!!

J .....3 and 4 week Pics

Time is flying by here at the Wamble house. J is already 4 weeks old!! Taylor has made a complete turnaround and has made a complete adjustment to being a big sister. She has finally settled into our new routine and absolutely adores her baby brother. She is in mommy mode half the time and 2-year old mode the other half of the time. She loves staying at home with mommy and baby brother.
J is growing so fast. He still looks little to the outside world, but we KNOW he has grown. He is eating more and more and starting to gain a little personality. He is staying awake much longer these days. He still naps a lot, but when he is awake, he is bright-eyed and bushy tailed. He is so funny to watch because he fixes his eyes on a certain object and makes the cutest faces trying to figure out what it is. He adores Taylor as much as she loves him. Throughout the day she hugs/kisses all over him and he just lets her!! We are so proud to have 2 wonderful and precious children in our lives, and we owe it all to God!!
These pics were uploaded from my phone. I am having trouble uploading pics from my camera, so this is all I have for now. I have tons of pics on my camera whenever I can get that to work:)

We were headed to have pics made of Tay and J. I needed and extra hand before we went out the door, and guess who decides to help... and she did a great job feeding him. This was her first time by the way!!


Taylor always wants to hold J.. so sweet!!

Happy Valentine's Day!!

James' parents were here over the weekend, so we were able to get out of the house, just the two of us, on Saturday night. We haven't had a night without kids in a while. We didn't know what to do with ourselves. We had plans to go to dinner, but got invited to a friends house for a drink before we ate. We had so much fun with them we ended up staying way past our welcome.. and later than we needed to. Needless to say, it was too late to have dinner anywhere.. so we stopped at IHOP and headed back home to our kiddos. Both were fast asleep when we got home, and Cici and Pop were ready for some sleep themselves :) We are so thankful to have each other and our TWO children on this Valentine's Day!!

This is Tay digging through her Valentine bag this morning. She got an apron, stamps, notebook, mini pens, lipstick, and a book.


Can you tell J is so excited about opening his Valentine gift? He was fast asleep!! But we still LOVE him!!

He loves to put his hand over his face while mommy tries to take a picture!!

Miss Priss being silly.. she's telling me to "freeze" as she is playing the dance and freeze game!!

Snow Day!!

We got enough snow Thursday/Friday to actually build a snowman. It was so pretty to wake up to everything covered in snow. I was up feeding J in the wee hours of the morning and just sat on the couch watching the snow fall like crazy. It didn't stop snowing until after lunch on Friday. James took Taylor out as soon as she woke up. She was so excited and had so much fun she didn't want to come in. Daddy was over the whole snow thing and finally got her inside. He took her back out that afternoon on the golf cart to ride across the street to the club. It was so cold, they weren't able to get back out and play in the snow on the golf course. Daddy was really tired of being cooped up in the house... and was ready to get out. Thank goodness his parents came to visit.
I must say that Taylor (and now probably J) has seen more snow in her 2 years of life than James and I have seen in our entire 29 years of life... and in SOUTH MS!! She has seen true snowfall and has been able to play in it twice this year!! Maybe J will be able to play in the snow next year!!
