Hello from us!

John Mills, Avery, and I had a backyard afternoon play sesh again Tuesday. I am loving the early spring weather! This blog is short as I am just learning to blog from my phone! Yay for me being way behind on technology! Hey, I've been busy making a baby!

Jane Ann, Pigwet, and Bashful Ace

Mom has been so helpful with this whole "having a baby" thing. She has taken Avery when I needed a break, did laundry and dishes when I was still in pain, and now she comes over just to hold and play with my muchkins so I can take a shower! She is the best Mommy I could ever ask for! They both look pretty happy, don't they?

I took both kids out to play in the yard yesterday (by myself) for only the 3rd time since John Mills was born. Baby Steps, people. Plus its been chilly, but I digress. Avery acting shy and was not into having her picture made (again), but...

John Mills was! Mr. Smiley Pants himself. He is such a flirt! Bless his heart, he had a little stuffy nose yesterday, and he couldn't stop snorting. It was the saddest and cutest thing. So, when he is 10, and people are calling him "Piglet", he can blame me here. But, let's be honest, I was actually saying "Pigwet" because I was using my annoying mommy speak where I wont pwonounce any "R's" or "L's". Most pwecious pigwet ever!!

You can check my Stats

John Mills 10 weeks old

13 lbs 13 oz

24 1/4 inches

Thats 90th percentile for height and weight.

AAAAND, Boom goes the dynamite.

February Update

John Mills went to the zoo for the first time last week. He slept through most of it, but I think overall he had a nice time!

Avery LOVES her little brother. She is such a good big sister! She wants to hold him all the time!
Riley came over last Monday for an afternoon play date. Did you know that Strawberries love Santa?
John Mills had a play date with Liam, Mary Pace, and Currey Elizabeth. Here he is with big Liam.
Look at my baby blues! He is the happiest baby! Such a talker! He might just out talk his sister!
Don't you just want to eat him up??? I do!

A Quick Update

Avery went to the Moo-seum on Friday. She loved it! Ride'm cowgirl!

And John Mills is super SMILIE!! He is such a sweetie! I already can't remember life without him! Doesn't this face just scream KISS ME???
Life with 2 is hard. But so worth it! I am getting more efficient every day, but my mind still seems a little lost most of the time! One day I will get it all together, I hope!

I almost got the smile!

He has started smiling! I haven't quite got the whole toothless grin with the camera yet, but its coming! Here is as good as I could get yesterday!

This guy is just a big sweetie!! He loves to snuggle and is getting seriously chubbily! He is such a smoosh ball. He is eating great and making cooing noises and starting to look people in the eye! John Mills even slept 6 hours straight 2 nights in a row. We only did 3 1/2 last night, but maybe tonight he will go back to 6!

He checked in at 10 lbs 14 and a half ounces on Friday at his one month appointment. That falls into the 75% category for weight and was 22 3/4 inches which is 90% for height!!! He may be a basketball star!

Sorry for the delay...

As you can imagine, it's been a bit crazy around our house! John Mills is growing so fast!! He is already a big boy! These photos are a few weeks old, so he is bigger than this, but he is oh-so-cute! I just love him!


Avery wants to hold him all day long! She is such a sweet big sis, I am so proud of her! We take John Mills back to the doctor on Friday, so I should have some statistics on just how big he is then.

In other news, I am back to work today. Hence the time to blog! No big thing since I am still part time, and headed home to feed the baby in an hour! Breastfeeding does have its perks! I am forced to go home and relax with the baby every three hours! Anywho, I should be back in the swing of things in no time!! If only it didn't take me 2 hours to get out of the house in the morning! More photos to come!
