3 Months and the Zoo!

This sweet little guy turned 3 months old on the 1st! I cannot believe how fast time is going by! He is still such a good baby and just goes with the flow. He is a little attached to momma and I usually end up having to carry him around (thank goodness for the baby bjorn)! He goes to bed around 10 and then he gets up once in the early morning for a bottle but goes right back down until 8. He rolled over from his belly to back tonight! Not sure how long he could do this because we don't do a lot of tummy time but I had him in his bed and he just did it. We just love him so much and I can't imagine life without him :)

This is where he usually ends up while I'm cooking dinner.

He has stared to drool all the time!



He's starting to try to grab toys and put things in his mouth.

First time to wear shoes!

On Labor Day we took the kiddos to the Gentry Zoo. I had never been before so I thought it was the perfect day to go! Ellie loved seeing all the animals and walking through the petting zoo. She is not afraid of anything!

This pig was sooo gross! Notice the buck teeth.

They had pony and camel rides. Ellie chose to ride the pony. She loved it and cried when we had to leave.

The Past Week...

Ellie is a little stinker and always keeps us on our toes! She never skips a beat! She is always into something and pulling things out of the drawers and cabinets....She is quite the cleaner! She loves using the swiffer sweeper, and I must say she is pretty good at it :) and I don't mind the help! ha!

Making sure to get under the cabinets! And she loves these ladybug boots...she even has to sleep in them sometimes :)

Workin it! We have a bit of a Diva on our hands! Daddy was not amused by her modeling performance.

Never a dull moment when Ellie is around!

Her new thing is to "train" Harper. She pretends to take her to the vet and she usually forgets about her...i found Harper locked in my closet one day this week...not sure how long she had been there! Oh and she is always getting out this winter gear. I swear I pick this stuff up every night!

Poor Harps...she is quite the trooper!

Mayes had his 2 Month Check-up this week and the doc thought he looked great! He weighed in at 11 lbs. 7.4 oz. and was 23 in. long. 50% for both stats...He had to get 3 shots and one oral vaccine. Poor baby cried and cried! It was so sad :(

Still mad even after we got home. He got a fever that night and was feeling pretty yucky.

Here is Ellie after her 2 month shots. They never really phased her much and she never got sick afterwards...I think this just proves that girls are a little tougher :)

We've been trying out the Bumbo lately. He is quite ready for it yet but it occupies him for a few minutes or so.

Silly girl eating her bfast bar and watching her toons...Calliou is a favorite right now.

Love his big, dark brown eyes :)

A rare moment...Ellie decided she wanted baby brother to sit with her and watch cartoons.

Couldn't take her eyes off the tube.

She even gave him a kiss! So sweet!

Lately...

Summer seems to be flying by! It seems like we haven't gotten to do much since it's sooo hot outside! I'm ready for some cooler weather so we can get out and about a little more! Here's what we have been up to lately...

Mayes' first trip to Russellville (about 6 weeks old)

He has one strip of hair down the middle that is longer than the rest of his hair and it always looks like he has a mohawk! Love it!

We had the Harrison's over for dinner while we were in town. This is the only pic I got off all 3 kiddos.


His little cheeks were really broken out for a week or so and then I started using the California Baby products and it cleared right up!

Ellie has been a bit jealous of baby brother so we thought she could use some one on one time with us...so, we took her on a date night and went to dinner and then to see her first movie. Winnie the Pooh!

Getting ready with mommy and putting on her makeup :)

Posing outside of Abuelo's. We let her pick where to eat dinner and she said she wanted to "go to a Mexico restaurant and eat chips!"

We thought we could bypass the snack bar since we had just eaten but in the middle of the movie she yells out, "Daddy, go get me some popcorn!"

When we were leaving she was holding both of our hands and then looked up at me and said, "Mommy, I had great time!" Worth.Every.Minute.

When it's not to hot in the evening, we've been hanging out on the patio and watching Daddy's new t.v.

(Before)

Baby Brother is really happy outside too!

(And After)

This pic was too funny not to post! She still hates having her picture taken.

Aunt Miki gave Mayes this bear lovie and he loves it! I think we might have another Bunny in the making.

Still loves his baths!

Sweet Boy

He gave us his first smile at around 6 weeks and he is really easy to get a smile out of...you just have to talk to him. He is a little spoiled though...he likes to be held most of the time when he is not sleeping. I really don't mind though because this sweet time goes by way too fast!

Nothing cuter than a naked baby in their diaper!

2 Months Old!

"Seriously, mom, are you done yet?!"

These two kiddos keep me busy all the time, but I am so thankful for them and the joy they have given us! I feel like one very lucky momma :)
