Guess what????


We had a baby, we really did! The blog world and I have been estranged, but maybe I'll be better now. Or not. First to start off, whoever says that once you have 3 children it doesn't matter how many you have because you are already crazy, never had 4 children! With that said, I can do the normal gushing about how perfect and beautiful my baby is. He is so wonderful. I love having him here, and he is such a cutie.

He joined us on November 15th, and was 7 lbs. 2 oz. He was my smallest baby, and lost weight so at his 4 day checkup was 6 lbs. 8 oz. and only in the 14th percentile. He seemed so little. He was loved on immensely. Except for the first few days, when Sydney and Dave were sick and we let them hold him once with masks on, and then they were banned for awhile. Let's just say, they didn't appreciate our caution.


Life is still moving at a crazy pace, and I wish I could hold onto his infancy just a little bit longer. He is growing like crazy and at his 2 month check he was 13 lbs. 8 oz. and into the 81th percentile. That's more like it!


He is just starting to smile, and is such a cutie, we couldn't ask for a better life!

Congrats!! I am with you, four is a ton harder then three. That is also my explanation of why I haven't called to plan that dinner that we missed. I think that I am almost getting a handle on things (Ok not really but I am getting better at pretending) so when you get to that point give me a call and I PROMISE this time we will get together soon.

I'd like to say "It's about time you blogged!", but that would be Me: The Pot. You: The Kettle. Hi, we're both black.

Love these pics! He's so small, yet looks so much like David. I can't believe in just a few weeks we'll have TWO of those at my house. I'm bypassing the two and jumping right into three. I'm hoping to take my time with the fourth (and not jump from 3 to 5!).

I'll be looking to you for help and advice!

Love and miss you all!

It's fun to see you back blogging again! Grace loves to check and see what her cousins are up to (and she gets me to blog because she loves to see what she's been up to too) She is excited for our upcoming journey to Mona.
