Joseph - 5 months

Even though he is in his own room, in his own crib, still enjoying to be swaddled, this boy does not seem to want to sleep through the night.  He attempts to sit up on his own, but topples over.  Rolls onto his belly every time he is on his back, then yells that he on his belly.  He has "forgotten" that he can roll back over to his back if he wanted to.  He laughs at Isaac and loves to be entertained by Isaac making all sorts of funny faces at him.  He loves his hugs and kisses on the forehead from Levi. He does not like to be left alone, and I usually find myself rotating him from one location to the next to keep him from being bored.  Momma LOVES snuggling and kissing him!

Children's Museum

We went to the Children's museum for the first time while Daddy was on vacation.  It was crazy how much stuff you can do there.  Isaac loved the fire truck the best.  Levi seemed to love all of it.  He liked each section of the museum, but liked the balls being sucked into the tubes and rolls back down the ramps.  The boys had a blast, and I was lucky they found my drivers license I lost there. Not so fun to have to drive back the next day to pick it up!

Christmas 2013

So, motherhood of 3 little boys and the holidays has caught up with me, and I'm a month behind on posts, so here they go!

I truly loved watching the boys come downstairs and see that Santa came.  I loved their surprised faces and the realization what it meant that Santa had come to our house. Most of all, I loved hearing Isaac saying, "Happy Birthday, Jesus!"

We had made a paper prayer chain with individual family members and friends as our countdown to Jesus's birthday. We truly enjoyed praying over these special people and Isaac looked forward to taking to next link off the tree to see who we would be praying for.

 Joe had strep throat for the couple weeks prior to Christmas, and I ended up getting sick on Christmas day, which turned into a sinus infection. All the boys stayed healthy through that until the end of January.

Levi loves horses at this age.

And the teething begins???


Best Daddy in the world making gingerbread houses with boys.

Joseph - 4 Months

Weight: 13 lbs 14 oz (17.5 percentile)
Height: 24.5" (21.31 percentile)

Recent milestones
Rolls front to back and back to front
Giggles and laughs
Love to stand on legs
Loves to grasp and hold things (especially his blanket already)

Took a step backwards and is up every 1-3 hours again during the night.  However, the pediatrician stated that it's common and I should expect him to go back to sleep 5-6 hours again after a couple weeks.  Yikes…seems like forever away!

Has been going to Music class with the boys and seems to enjoy the music like his brothers.

His height has gone from the 0.3% percentile to a "normal" 21.31% percentile.  I am so relieved that she is back on the chart for height!

The boys - November/December 2013

November/December 2013

First snow day in November (Levi didn't last past the picture)

Isaac loves school time (working on Math lesson)

Soooo cold…record lows this year in Colorado! Glad Daddy will take them outside!

Joseph enjoys sitting with big brother to watch cartoons.

(Thankfully, Isaac did not break his arm in soccer like his friend Eli.  If a 3 year old can fall, break arm, and get 3 pins surgically placed from playing soccer, I'm in for a long 18+ years ahead of me!)
