aarons 2 month appointment

Aaron had his two month appointment yesterday and he was especially good, the doctor was wondering if he really is a colicky baby-! He is weighing in at 11 lbs and 13oz now and is 22 in long both in the 50 %, this is so different from Erica always being in the 10th or 25th %. So he is growing well. We discussed the sleeping issues and until he is rid of the colic we really can't start sleep training, nor until he consistently is giving us a good 6 hours a night sleep. So the swing it is for a few more weeks but when mommy goes back to work he needs to be in his own bed- He did well with his shots yesterday though he was not sleepy he was up and cranky most of the night. He is sleepy today though- Have a good christmas everyone

Aaron swinging

Like I have said in the past Aaron loves his swing, he is getting so much better though about being on his playmat, he is blowing bubbles and giving us some smiles as well. Here are two pics of him just chillin in the swing.

using silverware

Erica has been playing with silverware for a bit but she is now using the fork to eat her food. She does not use it all the time but it was awesome to watch her mind work on how to get the food to the fork and then to her mouth without it falling off. She was so cute.

first snow

The first time it snowed this year I was ready- I had bought Erica winter boots and a snow suit so that we can go ouot and play...well it was interesting to say the least, she was ok with it at first but she could not walk in her boots, they were too heavy on her feet I guess! She looked so cute though nice and snuggly warm though three times bigger than normal.

Here she is all dressed up...

Here is a smile...

Outside in the snow....

No more fun, here she is tasting the snow....

Here is pics from the most recent snow she screamed when we were trying to get her ready, she did not want her boots on her! Finally after what seemed to be 1 hour of screaming we got outside but she would not stand so we brought out the sled which we were going to give her for xmas but she was making it very difficut to have fun. She cried and was not that happy we only got a few smiles during her sledding with daddy

random pics

We have tried a few times to get the kids together for a picture- here is one and I have no idea what they are looking at but shockingly it is in the same direction!!

Here is a picture of Erica and her curiosity - looking in a box to see what she can find... and Aaron laying is daddys arms by the tree

Here are a few more pics of Erica and Aaron- Aaron again with daddy- he is getting so big today he is 8 weeks we have his month appointment next week- I can't wait to see how much he weighs because he is quickly growing out of his 0-3 month clothes! He is also rolling over he has been rolling from tummy to back for about a week or so it seems so early-but it is amazing how different the kids are especailly in size! Will get some rolling over pics and post soon!

Here is mommy and Erica she is getting big and she is talking more and more it is awesome to see her bloom!

She was done with talking pics- can you tell!

Aarons bathtime

Aaron loves bathtime- he did since the first time- he likes his hair being washed it relaxes him you an see it in his face. Here are some pics of bathtime- Erica likes to help!

Thanksgiving 2008

We had a very blessed thanksgiving with two healthy children this year - up one from last! We spent the holiday at my family's and my sister was the chef! All the food was great of course and we ate too much. Here are a few pics

Me and Erica she is looking like such a big girl!

Aaron, aunt Kathryn and Tony


Erica is trying to put the scarecrow in the rocking chair to rock him.

Aaron

Aaron is doing well- he is still colicky which is difficult to say the least but here are periods now where he is not screaming. He will only sleep in his swing though which is a growing problem- I have come to learn how to sleep on the couch somewhat comfortably. He is getting big he is growing out of the swaddle me and the 0-3months clothes are fitting him very well- not sure for how much longer??? He is holding his head up really well during tummy time or even while being held. Here is a pic of a smile!! and aaron doing tummy time!

xmas lights

We were putting the lights up outside this past weekend and Erica wanted to help. She was trying to hand daddy the lights to put on the bushes. She is such a good helper. She got tired though and needed a rest. She also played chase with Ellie, I think Ellie is coming to realize that they can play together!!
