2 Month Update































Jack is 2 months old now. Time is flying by so fast, faster than the others it seems probably because he's my last baby, and I just want to be able to hold and snuggle him forever. He had his 2 month appointment yesterday. Hes pretty small still (average is about 11.5-12.5 lbs) and Jack is 9 lbs and 21 inches long. Thats below the 5th percentile for both height and weight, but my little man is a very healthy little guy, just small :) He is still wearing size newborn clothes and diapers and size 0 in shoes. He definately has his wake/sleep patterns down pat. He is such a happy baby and smiles and coos at me, and it just makes me melt. He is drinking 3-4 oz. every 3-4 hours but will go up to 6+ hours if he is napping well. He goes to sleep around 8, I wake him at 11 pm to give him his last bottle and change him before I go to bed, then he goes right back to sleep and has been sleeping all night! He's been waking around 7 am in the mornings and most mornings after he's changed and fed, he will lay on my chest and we will both go back to sleep. He slept in until 8 this morning. He is such a sweet baby, when he's awake he just smiles and stares at things and is so quiet. He only cries when he's hungry or needs to be changed. Sometimes he will fuss if he has the hiccups or he wants him mommy to pick him up, He is definately a mama's boy <3 He is such a blessing to our family and we couldnt have a better baby to be blessed with.

Pumpkin Patch/ Fair- 1sts for Jack































Yesterday we went to the flea market, then afterwards we decided that we would go to the pumpkin patch. We went to Nivens Apple Farm and Pumpkin Patch! We went with Granny, Heather, Grover, Bentley, Stacy, Christine, and Dalton! It was Jack's 1st trip there. The boys had a blast seeing all the neat stuff there and playing. They also got to try fresh apple cider and they loved it! Today they got to go to the fair! This was also Jack's 1st trip. They got to see lots of animals and a petting zoo. They got to sit on a carriage (that pulls horses), they got to sit on ponies and take pictures, they rode alot of rides, and also saw a clown show. Grover and Bentley was with us too and the boys all had a blast riding together :) Love family time!

Happy Fall Everyone!!!































Well its already Fall! Cant believe it. This year has flown by so quickly. Everyone is doing well, the baby is already over a month old, 7 weeks to be exact. He's so precious and sweet. Still so tiny. We were breastfeeding and he cried alot, had bad gas and tummy aches, tons of spitting up, and developed a rash, turns out he has a cows milk protein allergy and thats what was preventing him from growing properly, now he is bottle fed a special formula and is doing so much better on it. At his 1 month check up he was 8lb and 20 inches (still was very small for his age), but at least he was gaining weight. He's wearing newborn clothes and newborn diapers still! He also has smiled at me for the first time last week and I was soooo happy! He is so precious and I enjoy every moment I can spend with him holding him close while he's still so little.
Gabe is now 21 months old! He is such a funny little boy who lights up a room with his smile and makes everybody laugh and love him! Gabe is about 26lbs. now and 32 inches tall. He is 24 mos clothes (even some 3T tops) and anywhere from a 2T to a 4T in pajamas! He wears a 7 in shoes. Nick Nick is doing well also. He is now 37lbs. and 41 inches tall! He is wearing a size 4 in pants and a 5T in tops. He is in a size 10 shoe. Connor is 46lbs. and 47 inches tall! He wears anywhere from a size 6/7-8 in tops, and a size 7 slim in pants and anywhere from a 1-2 in shoes. My boys are all growing so fast!

We went to Carowinds/Scarowinds on Sunday and the boys had a blast! They got to do lots of fun things like kiddie karaoke, haybale maze, mini pumpkin patch, costume parade, and of course they rode lots of rides too! They had so much fun! The boys are looking forward to Halloween and cant wait to get all that junkfood. lol. Well thats about all for now.
