My baby took his 1st steps!

YAY!!! On tues. night he took 1 step to me and then lastnight he took 4!!! He will be walking before I know it. He is all better today. No fever yesterday or today, so that's good. I am still fighting this nasty cold bug. It is more of a bad cough then a cold. But i will survive.

6 month check-up and sleep!!!!!

Yesterday was Christian's 6 month check-up. Hes is 19 lbs and 3 oz (50 to 75th percentile) and 27 1/2inches tall(90th percentile)!!! The Doctor said he looked great! Yay!!! He had to have his shots as well and half of a normal baby dose of the flu shot. He will get the other half after we return from Washington after Christmas. Justus and I get to go and get our flu shots today.......


And the sleeping thing...... I thought that he was sleeping good when he would sleep from about 9pm to 4:30 or 5 AM, boy was I scared on Monday morning when I got up to pee and he had not woken up yet to eat. I nursed him at 8:30pm on Sunday night and he went to bed at about 9:30, but he didn't eat again till almost 8:30 AM on Mon. morning!!! He woke up happy at 8 AM. I couldn't believe it, 12 hours!!!! That was a great night sleep. And then last night I fed him at 8PM and he went down about 9PM and he woke up to eat at about 7AM that's 10 and a half hours!!! Sleep is so nice. Justus didn't sleep through the night til after 9 months.

More teeth, more toes & 5 months!

So this past Saturday, Christian got his 2nd tooth!!! And he should be getting a 3rd in 2-3 weeks. I can see the little white dot on his gums. And now that he has found his toes and can get them in his mouth, they are one of his favorite toys! LOL I am just hoping that he doesn't bite them. Tom's Dad comes down on Wed and will be with us til Monday. The guys & JT are going to Monster Jam on Friday. JT is so excited, he can't wait! Orther than that not much else is new. Just waiting for little Miss Keeley to arrive. We sure are getting excited for Jess & Cris!

See my teeth?

I just love my toes!!

Here are his 5 months pics!!!

First Halloween, Toes and a tooth Oh My!!!!

So I know it has been almost a month since my last blog, but the boys keep me very busy. JT is doing very well the schooling I am doing with him and he loves learning!!! Christian finally put his toes in his mouth on Halloween and on Sat. he got his first tooth!!!! He is doing great on solids and is trying to crawl and really determined to sit up. I can't believe he is almost 5 months!!! Justus is loving being a big brother and Christian just loves Justus as well. He is always smiling and laughing at JT!!! Here are some recent pics. Enjoy!!!

What a busy and scary Monday!

So I know it's Wednesday and I am just writing this, but we have been busy. Monday we had Christian's 4 month check up and the doctor said he is doing great. He now weighs 17 lbs and is 26 1/2 inches long. Both his weight & length are in the 90th percentile! She also said he could start solids. We started him on rice cereal on Sunday the 28th and he loved it! And so we started him with green beans on Mondays and of course he loved those too! And it is so cute to see him try and use his 2 handled sippy cup by himself. He holds it and get it to his mouth, but just ends up chewing on it. LOL Here are his 4 month pics.





So the scary part, was that Monday night my mom went to the hospital with stomach pain to find out that she had a appendicitis. The did surgery on her later that night and remover her appendix and she was able to go home yesterday at noon. She is feeling better than she did before the surgery...LOL She will go back to work on Monday doing light duty. She can't lift anything heavy for 6 weeks. Good thing we have 11 weeks before we come to visit or she might have hurt herself lifting Christian! Please just keep her in your prayers that she will recover fast and she will take this time off to rest.

Almost there!

On Friday Christian decided that he was going to try and roll over. He was almost there and then he would straighten his legs out and give a little push and long story short, he just ended up doing a 360 by rolling half way and then straightening his legs. Then Sat morning when I went to get him out of his crib, he had moved from the middle of his crib in a positioner, to the corner of his crib! Silly boy! He will be there soon though. And I went today and had his convertable car seat installed. What a big boy he is! 17 lbs now!!! That's crazy!!!! :)


Here I go


Almost there.....



I can do it!



Sleepy Boy

Good Morning

3 months and getting BIG!!!

So I know it has been a month since I really blogged, but we have been rather busy and Tom is going to school online, so I don't get much computer time. But I just wanted to update everyone on my little/big boy...LOL Christian is now 3 months and weighs 16 lbs 4 oz and is 26 inches long!! He has already out grown his infant carseat, but unfourtanatly, the carseat we have that he would move upto, was recalled (which I only found out about by going to the fire department to have them install the recalled one), so I have to wait till tomorrow and call the carseat maker and see what is the next step. He is already trying to sit up, and is always wanting to stand, but he has not yet rolled over. He will get there soon though. So that's my update, here's his 3 month pics......

2 months already!!

I can't believe Christian is 2 months already. We went to the doctor on the 4th for his 2 month check up and he weighs 13 lbs 2 oz ( 90th percentile), and is 24 in. long ( 75 to 95 percentile). He is growing like a weed!!! JT was only 8 lbs 8 oz at 2 months, so Christian is going to be bigger than his big brother....LOL And after only 2 months of breastfeeding, I have only 9 lbs left to loose and I gained a total of 35 lbs. This weight has come off a lot faster than it did with JT. Here are some 2 month pictures of Christian. I took them is his diaper, so you could see his little fat rolls.......

2 months Aug. 5, 2008

Look at those rolls...8-5-08

These were also taken on the 5th, but these pictures are to say thanks to Auntie Amy for the Giraffes.

All about Christian!

So I decided to take a day and talk about each of the kids! Today is Christian's day...... we go in on Monday the 4th for his 2 months check up! Can you believe he is already 2 months?? I'm not sure how accurate this is, but I got on the scale and then got on with Christian and there was a difference of 13 lbs...... can that be true?? WOW!! He is so long that he is already in 3-6 month clothes and in size 2 diapers. The last 2 months seem to have gone by so fast! And I am still having a hard time believing that I have 2 boys!! And trying to give attention to both of them at the same time is so hard. Justus had been good to understand that as soon as Christain is asleep or just hanging out in his swing, that we can then play together.

Christian is such a good baby. Totally different than JT was. He is a very happy baby, and wakes up smiling and talking..... well baby talk that is. He still wakes up about 2 times a night, but eats and goes right back to sleep. Well, I will keep you all up to date on the doctor's appt. on Mon. I really am wondering if 13 lbs could be right????? How crazy is that???

Cutting his nails......and he sleeps...LOL

So sleepy!

Smiles!

Happy Guy

A kinda smile

Christain Matthew is here!!!

Ok, so it has been some time since I have blogged, but here I am. Christian matthew arrived On June 5, 2008 at 8: 26 am after 15 hours of labor and only 10 min of pushing! A lot shorter of a labor than I had with Justus! Anyway, Christian weighed 7 lbs 10 oz and was 21 inches long. He is so far a very good and mellow little by. He usually only cries when he is hungary or needs to be changed. He is very alert and will stay awake sometimes for an hour or more at a time! He is just perfect. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect baby! Justus just loves his little brother and has been so helpful, with getting the diaper, wipes and anything else I need and he loves to kiss his brother too! So, here he is Mrs. Amy Wood......... Jessica told me you were waiting for me to post pictures. Sorry, my parents were in town and my mom just left on the 12th. But anyway, here he is......


Me at 40 wks and 1 day, right before being admitted.



So tired after the long journey and getting all cleaned up.
