Truckers Parade & Santa

Last night we went to the Trucker's Parade. I never realized as a kid what a silly thing it is. Let's all go stand out in the cold (and usually wet) weather and watch a bunch of trucks drive by with lights all over them while they honk Jingle Bells. lol Great fun!!







Today we tracked down Santa so the kids could get their picture taken with him. M just had to ask if Rudolph was real, and Santa assured her he was. :)

3 mo. survey

We did this on my born in September message board, but I thought it'd be fun to post it here too...


How much is baby eating now?
Nursing every 2-4 hours during the day

How long is baby sleeping at night now?
He did 10 and 11 hours last weekend, but now he's back to 6-7 and then another 3-4 after that.

Where does baby like to nap? In his bouncy seat in the bathroom with the fan on (blocks out the noise from the other kids)

Does baby have a lovey?
Not yet, but he's getting a little blankie in his stocking. He's been clutching the burp rags a lot more lately, so I hope he takes well to his blankie!

Is baby holding up his/her head well now?
Yep

What seems to be baby's favorite toy right now?
He's still mostly into looking around at things, still likes the baby gym and his sassy mobile. He is starting to figure out he has hands, and he likes those. He's taken to sucking on two of his fingers some. He also loves to "stand" on our laps now.

What is baby getting for Christmas?
An exersaucer, stacking rings, and a few stocking stuffers... teether, sippy cup, spoons, a couple little toys, bibs, socks...

Anything else you'd like to share?
He's not super smiley, the four of us are the only ones who can really get him to smile easily, and I have the hardest time getting him to smile for the camera!!


New pictures below. :)

New Pictures

Sorry, my computer is giving me major problems right now and all I'm seeing is code in this post, so I'm not even going to try to put captions with each photo. I may try to come back and edit this later, but it's not working right tonight. Enjoy the photos!!

A few pictures

Well, let's see...
Life has been crazy, that's for sure! Last week I picked up the 7th round of antibiotics to go through our house in the last month, this time it was #2 for me. Thankfully they worked quickly and I was only really sick for one day! I'm so ready for us to be healthy for a while!! I keep thinking that I don't think this 3 kids thing would be that hard if we'd all just stay healthy. lol

The kids are doing well. M and R seem a lot better now, they go back next week for a recheck though. N is doing well. Growing and turning more into a baby instead of a newborn everyday. He smiles more now, and loves to be talked to and tries to talk back. He's just so cute!!

Here are a few pictures from that last 2 days. The first one was taken last night, I thought it was pretty good that they are all looking at the camera, and the older two are smiling!
The rest were taken this afternoon. Mr. N is getting pretty good at holding his head up now, no more bobblehead baby. :)

Smiles!

N was extra smiley this afternoon, so I decided to try to get some on camera. Enjoy. :)



Love those cheeks!!

Some Pictures & Update

My week was even more crazy than I thought it was going to be. Besides all the stuff I had listed the kids and I got our h1n1 shots (which meant 2 extra appointments), I got an infection and spent the better half of Thursday morning on the phone with a lactation consultant and a really awful doctor's nurse, and to cap off the week M ended up in the ER this morning with pneumonia. She's okay, not contagious (thankfully!), and on her second round of antibiodics which should hopefully clear it up. I'm pretty sure we all had the h1n1 when we were sick last month, and I think that's where it came from. It was never confirmed that we had it though, so we still go the shot. I'm seriously so tired of dealing with all the doctors appointment and medical stuff. I want to be DONE!!
Hopefully next week won't be AS crazy, although it seems to be filling up more than I wanted it to already.

Anyway, here are some pictures...

Halloween cuties

ready to fight some bad guys

look at all that candy! They're buckets were full to the top!

N having some tummy time (or as he likes to think of it, suck on his fist time)

cute boy

M took these last 2 so I could have some pictures with me in them. :)


Okay, N is up, gotta go. Hope everyone has a nice weekend!
