1 Month Already

Time is going by way too fast.  Ashlyn is already a month old and I still haven't quite gotten into a groove with these two kidos. Ashlyn tries to hold her head up and is getting pretty good at it, she doesn't like to sleep in the bassinet at night and ends up sleeping on my chest after she eats. She eats about 2-3 ounces, sleeps a lot, she does not like having a dirty diaper and cries to let you know she needs it changed, and she loves to sleep all balled up.  It doesn't look comfy but she loves it.

Her belly button cord finally fell off and she loves having a normal bath.

20 Months and a Big Brother

Gage is 20 months and finally became a big brother. He says boat, car, cookie, and mamote for remote. He will go into our bedroom and get up on the bed and say mamote because he wants to watch Bubble Guppies his favorite show. He thinks his sister needs to have her binky all the time, says no a lot! He can open the door from the house to the garage and follows his dad everywhere. He will help me blow on his food if it is too hot, feeds the dogs way too much, blow kisses, LOVES holding his sister and helps hold her bottle when we are feeding her.  Went to the dentist for the 1st time and did good.  We were told we needed to take the binky away.  I'm not sure he is quite ready for this. 

Gage at his daycare.  It was Talonie's (who is the adult in the picture) last day working at daycare.  She was a great person and the kids are going to miss her like crazy.

Gage at Daycare the day Ashlyn was born. He was having a great time and I never worried about him.  Even though it was my first time being away from him I knew he was in great hands.  I missed him like crazy!

I sure do love this kid and all his energy.  He Loves his binky and it sure is going to be hard to take it away from him.

1st Bath at home

It amazes me how much you forget after having a baby.  I felt like I was a first time mom again when it came to giving Ashlyn her bath. Plus with her being a girl it was a whole new experience, but we made it through.  She wasn't excited about it at first but the warm water calmed her down.

We all survived the bath and can't wait for her belly button to fall off so we can have normal baths =)

Gage LOVES his sister

Gage is so in love with his sister. He climbs up the bassinet and looks at her and wants to touch her. He doesn't seem too jealous yet =)

Ashlyn makes the funniest faces! She sleeps a lot and loves to snuggle.

I was trying to get a picture of the kids with Grandma Bleazard before she left but Gage was not cooperating at all.  Ashlyn just slept through the whole ordeal. Grandma Bleazard stayed with us for a week and spoiled us. She came with me and the kids to Ashlyn's 3 day appointment because Kyle wasn't able to go.  She played with Gage while I focused on Ashlyn and that was so nice.

The binky was slightly too big for Ashlyn and for the most part she preferred her fingers. We did switch out her binky with a different one because we are trying to wean Gage off his.  So far we aren't having much luck.
