My BIG boy

When did my little boy turn into such a big boy?

In the past month a lot has changed for this little guy...

becoming a big brother,

sharing attention,

being a big helper,

and much more.

After having Lundon, Breck wasn't quite sure about her.

But after a couple weeks of change we are finally in a routine!

I LOVE being home with these two babes.

It's so fun to hold a new baby,

and play games and craft with my big boy.

Breck is so funny.

He knows that mom has to share her time so he will find something to do while he patiently waits for his turn.  His newest thing is to put a movie on his DVD player and put on his headphones. 

He giggles out loud at the funny parts, which just kills me!! Love that laugh.

He has been enjoying his advent calendar

(enjoy it while you don't have to share it with your sis)

Every day we check the pail to find candy and a slip of paper that gives us fun activity to do.

Today is: Have an indoor snowball fight...we'll see how this goes and I'll post!

We have also been enjoying our Elf on the Shelf named Alf! or Chippy! or Water! whatever he feels like it should be for the day.

This thing REALLY works.

We were having a few behavior issues, but have seen less and less since Alf has arrived.

Alf has hid in our jars, the Christmas tree, upside down in our chandelier, and today is lounging in our door frame in a toilet paper hammock!
*who's having more fun mom and dad or Breck

We have also enjoyed our first snowfall!!

Breck and I played outside while Miss Lundon slept cozy inside the house.

NOW it's feeling more like the holidays.

I'm not sure who is more excited for the snow...

me or Breck!

He was laying down for a nap when it stared snowing big snowflakes.

What's a mom to do but wake him up to see...

it backfired a bit, as he didn't want to lay down again.

You win some and lose some!
SO WORTH IT to see that face.

So Thankful.

How did I get so lucky to have two beautiful kids.

The first few weeks...of firsts!

 Having baby # 2 is still like having your first born!

It all comes back to you quickly, but we are still shocked, amazed, and in awe of everything she does

(just as we were with Breck)

We are in complete love with this little girl.

It's true what they say,

it's like she has always been part of the family and our love just GREW.

Here is Lundon having her first bath.

She loved it.

We put her in the warm tub and she just laid there looking around.

Of course "big brother" had to help and scared her a couple times..poor thing, get used to it.

She is the MOST easy going, laid back, nicest baby ever.

(I'm pretty sure Breck was the same way. Am I that lucky to have two great babies.)

She sleeps, sleeps, sleep, for three hours at a time,

then on the dot she wakes up to eat 3 oz, 

then back to sleep.

She will sleep laying in her crib, in her sleep and play bassinet, in our arms,

on the floor, just about anywhere in any condition-meaning even with a big brother bugging her:

squeaking a dinosaur in her face,

covering her with kisses,

Christmas music blaring,

screaming, laughing, and playing!

Lately she has been more awake and we get to see her pretty dark blue eyes.

She is just so sweet.

Her birth weight was 6lb 13 oz

We brought her home at 6lb 3oz

Her 2 week check up she was 61b 11oz

Her 3 week check to make sure she was gaining weight was 7lb 2oz

She has been making silly faces at us since we met her.

If we talk to her she will flash us a smile.

(Yes, I know, they say its gas...i disagree)

I call her my "pretty girl" and she will smile so big!

She may grow up to think that's her name :)

Enjoying (sleeping through) our first Thanksgiving!

My mom and I got this outfit before she was born.

It was suppose to be a shirt and had some cute pants with it,

but when I went to put it on her pants went up to her chin.

So I made it into a dress with some cute tights.

My little peanut.

Grandpa Tom took a picture with his oldest grandchild Miss Ellery 12 years old

and his youngest Miss Lundon 2 weeks old.

What joy she has brought to our family.

One of my most favorite things are her squeaks and purrrrs

ALL day and night long.
