2 Months Old

My littlest is already 2 months old today! We don't go to the doctor until Tuesday, so you will have to wait on his stats. Right now he is holding his head up pretty well. He usually sleeps from about 10 until 5 or 6 AM, which has been VERY nice. He still loves his pacifier, swing, and sister. He babbles (sometimes loudly) and makes the cutest little flirty smiles. We still swaddle him because he loves it and he will probably be in our room at night for a couple more months. We love him DEARLY and are so very, very thankful for him.

Casen's First Tea Party

I think he thoroughly enjoyed it, do you?

Buddies

Price and Kayleigh play so well together, I love to watch them interact. Here they are doodling on Kayleigh's chalkboard table, so sweet. She loves him even though he still doesn't like it when she tries to give him a hug. I am so glad that they like each other.... for now.

Three in the Bed....

Three in the bed and the little one said... YOU GUYS ARE KEEPING ME AWAKE!

"Like Mommy Have!"

Kayleigh of course needed a way to carry her "baby" around while she plays. Just like "Mommy have!"

First Smiles

Casen has been smiling for a couple of weeks now. It has been SO MUCH fun! It just melts my heart when he looks at me and grins. His sister was so serious, it is fun to have a little guy that babbles and flirts.

I Have the BEST JOB EVER!

This Little Piggy.....

A Day Well Spent

Sure, there is laundry piled up waiting to be washed.
Sure, there are dust bunnies hiding under the furniture.
Sure, Casen's room looks like a bomb went off in it.
Sure, there are dishes to wash, errands to run, meals to be cooked, letters to be learned, internet to be piddled on, and a dog that is constantly growling at his empty bowl.
Sometimes all of that does not matter, because I am SURE that she loved her castle that we spent hours building together (complete with a tunnel and secret room) and I am SURE that all of that "other stuff" can be done when she goes to bed.... or when she is 18. For now, I am SURE having fun with her.

Da Boys

Chapstick

It all started with a simple tube of pink princess chapstick that was tied to a Christmas present. Sadly, her Princess chapstick got lost at my parents house. We heard about it every 5 minutes for a week from her until THANKFULLY my mom found it! It has now become an outright obsession. The Bear must have her chapstick on her at all times. She has different names for each one, such as "PINK chapstick". She puts more on every couple of minutes and offers it to who ever is around (sanitary, huh?). She loves to stash them in her pocket and sometimes she sneaks them out of the house. Last Sunday "DADDY Chapstick" made its way to the church nursery where a "little girl broke it." I could really tell you about a hundred more adventures that we have had with chapstick the last couple of months, but I think you get the picture.

Something About Casen

This little one has completely taken my heart. After having the Bear I truly never thought I could love another little toot as much as I adore her (even though I offered her to the lady in front of me at HEB Friday who told me that she was so sweet while she was laying on the ground screaming because I wouldn't buy her more Chapstick in the checkout line). There is just something about this little guy. Maybe it's his cute personality. Maybe it's the little smirk. Maybe it's the cute little peak that his hairline makes. Maybe it's the way he locks eyes with me. Maybe it's because he snores louder than Sean. Maybe it's the man burps. Maybe it's the fact that his head smells just like Sean's (weird, I know). Maybe it's the fact that he has been letting me sleep 6 hours in a row! Whatever it is, there is something special about my sweet, sweet baby boy.

My Sweetie

My sweet little girl loves to entertain her brother. Here she is "reading" him a book and pointing out all of the animals to him. If I would have snapped the shutter about 10 seconds later you would have seen her shoving the book in his face because he was not looking at the lion.... ahh, so sweet.

Take It My Picture, Mommy!

My Little Helper

I have been inspired by some friends to start cooking more from scratch. Truthfully I hate cooking and baking and all that goes with it.... especially the clean up. BUT I am trying my best to save money and to not feed our family junk. Kayleigh has really enjoyed this change because I let her help everyday. She helps me measure and stir..... and of course lick the spatula.... and then dip the spatula back in and lick it again.

Kayleigh's Guitar

... well, actually it's a ukulele. Sean has been dying to buy Kayleigh a guitar and finally came home with one the other day. She is hilarious with it. She strums and plays her favorite songs like Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and Where is Thumbkin.

The Best Seat in the House

Go Bears!

Kayleigh has been accompanying daddy to the Baylor Basketball games. She OF COURSE has to wear her cheerleader outfit so that she can dance around and yell "go Bears." This particular even she insisted on wearing her pink boots.

My Critters

I Show You, Casen.

Kayleigh is already dying to play with Casen. She loves to show him her toys. Here she is showing him how to build a "really tall one" with her blocks. She can't wait to play dollies with him, she asks just about everyday and I have to remind her just about everyday that he is still too little. At least she likes him!

One Month Old...

Where DOES the time go?

How Much?

Bear: Mommy Hand-burga?
Me: Oh, Yummy. I would LOVE one. How much is it?
Bear: Hummm... et's (let's) see. (scans hamburger while holding chapstick) It'ssss "two" much.

I'm sure she didn't learn that from her cheap momma!

First Bottle

We gave Casen his first bottle this week.

It took him 40 minutes to take ONE ounce, so I guess we need to try a different kind of bottle.

Share Bear

Kayleigh has really started to get alot sweeter with Casen. She has started to help me out a little more and have less tantrums. Don't get me wrong, she still throws shoes and has a fits.... but it is getting better. She has even started sharing "White Doggy" (NOT to be confused with her precious "White Dog name Kayleigh on it") with him.

My Boys

Sharing a sweet moment together.

Such a Good Sport

Kayleigh really though Casen needed to play dress up with her. He didn't seem to mind one bit. She desperately wanted to put her clip on earrings on him, and I obliged. I can't believe that I didn't take a picture of it! The Bear could not stop laughing!

First Cloth Diaper

Casen's First Bath

He pretty much loved it, he only cried for a few minutes.
