3 MONTHS OLD!!!

J is 3 months old today! He is such a happy baby lately! We are transitioning him to sleep in his crib from now on, so we'll see how that goes! We are having so much fun watching him grow up!
Happy 3 months J man!! WE LOVE YOU!!

12 weeks old and getting SO BIG!!!

J is getting so big these days. He has really changed just in the last week or so. He really likes to play in his bouncer now, play on the floor in the living room, swing, watch tv with his sister and of course, sit outside. He has his schedule pretty much down pat. He is sleeping so much better, and waking only once in the night to eat(or should I say early morning). He likes for us to talk to him and play a little. He has gotten so content recently. He rarely cries anymore and just seems to be really happy!
I am so happy to tell you all that I AM NOT GOING BACK TO WORK. We had some issues with finding sitters, etc. for the time being and since J was born so early, our original plan was thrown out the window. I am very excited and happy to be able to stay home with my babies!! We are having fun and I am really excited that I am able to watch my babies grow up! My sweet husband wouldn't want anything more than for me to be able to be here with our kids, so I thank him too for making it happen!! We love daddy so much!!
J will be 3 months soon.. time is flying by!!

Girls Beach Trip... with all the kids!!!

We had the opportunity to go with all the girls to Ann Hunter's beach house in Orange Beach. James was gone to Augusta for the Masters and I loaded the kids up Tuesday afternoon and headed down. There were 7 of us, along with all our kiddos. We had so much fun and the kids played so hard they wore themselves completely out. J enjoyed being in the sunshine and Taylor just had a ball. The house was as wild as it could be, but it was worth every minute of it!!

Here is a pic of all the kids, including J in his sleeper.


Sara Dabney loved holding J.

They thought they would stretch out like J.. too cute!!

Getting some play time in beofre the kids took over the floor!!

Thursday, it started raining, so we loaded the kids up and went to this place called the Hangout. OMG... it is the best place ever to take your kids. The workers do line dancing on top of the tables inside while you eat, and let the kids come up and dance along. Outside, they have this huge play area with sand and all the kids loved it! They rang a bell and all the kids started running while they just blew bubbles out everywhere. It was more like soap suds becausde the kids were covered from head to toe and soaked. After all that, they turned on these sprinklers and the kids got soaked again!! They had so much fun, no one wanted to leave.

Taylor's new buddy.. Caden

J is 10 weeks old!!

J is growing so fast and getting so big! He has started smiling and cooing at us when we talk to him. He still loves his sister very much and grins when she plays with him. He is eating great and sleeping pretty well. He has sort of started a little routine at night, going to bed between 7-9 and sleeping until 1-2 in the morning. After that early morning bottle, he likes to eat every 3-4 hours. He is still having some tummy issues, but nothing compared to what Taylor had. He is filling out all his clothes and is wearing 3 month clothes. He still loves to be outside, and loves sitting in the sun even more!! He is holding his head up almost all by himself. We are so blessed to have him in our lives and so healthy!!

Easter 2010

We had a wonderful Easter this year. We had the Wamble family over to our house for the weekend. I did not get near as many pictures as I wanted, but the kids really didn't want to cooperate. We took Tay and J to the Easter egg hunt at the club on Saturday while the guys golfed. We all went out for dinner that night and had Nana, Papaw, and Andrew's clan join us for lunch on Easter. We hid eggs in the yard and the kids played. it was so much fun but we were exhausted when everyone left. We are so blessed and thankful for our families.

this is the ONLY pic we could get

Mimi made bunny cupcakes with Taylor and they were so cute :)

Taylor and Drew shared their eggs with each other, so sweet!!

J is getting so big.. and is precious!!!

9 weeks old!!

Time is flying by so fast! J is getting so big these days. He is so observant and loves to watch his big sister. It is hard to believe that I have to go back to work in a few short weeks. I am enjoying every minute I have at home with my precious babies!!

This is another way we walk down our street to play with the neighborhood kids. They both LOVE it!!

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!!
