Sweet Moments

Last night Mia came into our room to lay with us because she was scared. While she was laying with us I vaguely remember a couple of conversations. At one point she woke me up to ask if she got lost and couldn't remember her phone number if Jesus would help her to remember it. I wasn't sure how to answer it, so I just told her (half asleep) that Jesus would probably help her to remember it but he also probably wants us to try to memorize our phone number. Later after I sent her back to her bed, she left then came back and asked if I would say a prayer for her because she was scared. I always have the kids say a prayer when they come to me when they have had a bad dream or are scared. We ask that Heavenly Father and Jesus will comfort them. It made me happy that she remembers and is starting to have faith in prayer. Even though I was half asleep last night, extremely tired and had her in my bed bed practically laying on top of me, it was a sweet moment.

Eddie {9 MONTHS}

Eddie had his 9 month check-up last week.
Here are the stats:
Weight-19 lbs (53 percentile)
Height- 28 inches (33 percentile)
The Doctor said he looks great. The only concern we had was about him wanting to eat again in the middle of the night, which the doctor said at this age a lot of babies get separation anxiety. So basically we just have to let him cry it out because he should be able to sleep through the night without eating. He has been doing well since the doctor appointment and has only woke up once in the middle of the night.
Eddie can now stand up holding onto furniture, climb up the stairs (ugh), clap, wave hi, say mama and dada and pick up food with his pincher fingers. He loves to be sung to and loves attention from his brother and sister. He is absolutely terrified of swings and doesn't like bread (I have no idea why). He still cries every I put him in the car seat and when I wipe his face after each meal. We love Eddie so much and can't believe how old he is already. I can't wait to watch him grow more and start seeing more and more what his personality is like!

Press Here

I'm always on the lookout for fun books the kids might like. My friend told me about a book she checked out at the library called "Press Here". We ventured to the library and found the book. We loved it!! It was so cute and fun. I love books where the kids can interact. You should definitely check to see if your library has this book. Hey, I might even buy it.

Diaper Rash

For those of you who have babies in diapers I just thought I'd share a baby item that I love.

It says it's a rash protector to use daily to protect from diaper rash but I just use it whenever Eddie starts to get a little diaper rash. I love it because it is spray and you don't have to put diaper rash cream on your fingers. It's a little more expensive, but I think it is worth it to not have to get your fingers dirty. I bought it at Target, but I am sure they sell it wherever they sell baby items. 

Blue Stripe

Today after I finished getting myself and three kids ready for church (by myself! Chris had to go to work unexpectedly) I noticed that I had accidentally dressed them all in blue and white stripes. I thought it was pretty funny and totally unintentional.

The kids just love Eddie to death. They smother ALL DAY LONG. Eddie has been getting four of his top teeth in for about a month now and they still have not broken through. I hope they break through soon to give the little guy some relief. Ezekiel will just be relieved when he stops drooling so much. It grosses him out. 

FOUR months

Yesterday was Eddie's 4 month check-up. He got three shots and wasn't too happy about it. He weighed 12 lbs 7oz and was 24 1/2 inches tall. The doctor said his weight is kind of staying the same, so we need to feed him a couple more ounces a day. She also prescribed some Zantac for him because he has had a nasty cough for the last month and it gets worse at night. She said it might be due to acid reflux. The Zantac will also hopefully help with spitting up so he can keep those extra ounces down. Other than that he is totally healthy and perfect baby.

Eddie is starting to grab toys and is getting pretty good at it. He loves music and loves to be sung to. He will even start coo along, it's the cutest thing. He is getting better at tummy time and is starting to lift his head pretty high. He now gets his last feeding at 10 pm and sleeps until 7:30am. YIPEE!! Eddie is such a sweet little guy.We are so happy he is in our lives and that we have another little person to give our love to.
