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. 

Two Months

Eddie had his two month check-up yesterday. It's hard to believe it's been two months! He is doing very well, in fact, the doctor said he is absolutely perfect. He weighs a whopping 11 lbs 7 oz and is 22 1/4 inches tall. He has really started to fill out and get some of that baby fat on him. He got 3 shots and didn't like them at all, but who does? He is starting to smile all the time! I love it when babies first start to smile.  I think I still almost cry every time he does!

Show me those Dimples

I love my little Ezekiel. He is so full of life and fun. I have been getting nervous for him to start school this August, but I am also pretty excited! I am going to miss him so much especially since he has all day kindergarten and he will be gone from 9-4 everyday. (Tear) 

It has been super warm here the last couple of days. It has been so nice to get out of the house and let the kids play outside. Today the kids were riding their bikes (thanks Uncle Ian!) on the driveway and I decided to pull out the camera and take some pictures. I was trying to get a shot of Ezekiel and I told him, "let's see those dimples"; he has really cute dimple on both cheeks. So this is what he did when I told him that:

He thought I meant nipples not dimples

I just can't get enough of this kid. He put's a smile on face everyday!

Weekend in Utah

This past weekend we went to Utah for my nephew's baptism. We also decided to bless Eddie the same weekend in Utah because all my family was already there. It was so nice to see family and friends while we were there, even though it seemed the time went way to fast. 

I don't know what we were thinking, but we didn't get any pics of Eddie in his blessing outfit. Eddie did pretty good for the blessing and didn't cry too hard during it. Chris was nervous, but he did a great job. We are so blessed to have little Eddie in our lives.

Here's a couple of pictures from the weekend:

 This weekend was the first time my family got to meet Eddie.
