Cousin love

August 6, 2015

What a treat we had on Tuesday! My cousin, Amy, stopped through Birmingham on the way to the beach with her husband, Birc, and two cute kiddos, Savannah and Walker. Amy is the daughter of Daddo’s brother, John. She lives in Little Rock and it was so great to have her in my town!

The kids got along great – Savannah will be 4 in December and Walker will be 2 in September so they fit right in with the boys. They played upstairs, ran around outside, ate some dinner and hung on the couch…

I think Savannah was a big fan of Maxwell! 🙂

Maxwell didn’t mind one single bit!!

I’m so glad all these sweet kids got to meet each other. I only wish we could get everyone together more often!

What a difference 2 years makes. He’s not a baby anymore but he is a pretty neat kid. I love him.

summer fun

August 4, 2015

First, happy birthday to Lulu today! We loved seeing you this weekend and love you!! Have a GREAT day!

Second, not surprisingly, Susan has been creating a FANTASTIC summer for the kids. Every day is an adventure with Mrs. Susan! There have been visits to feed the ducks…

Trips to Bass Pro (where Spencer’s favorite thing was the fish mailbox! ha!)…

An outing to Alabama Theater to see Cinderella (the old animated version!)…

Visits to the park of course…

And as a VERY special treat, Maxwell got to go see the stage version of Mary Poppins at Red Mountain Theater. He loved it. Actually he said it was “absolutely great!”

I think his favorite part was Bert tap dancing to Chim Chimney, Chim Chimney, Chim Chim Che-ree! And he did ask me why he never gets to have a spoonful of sugar with his medicine! ha!

We love summer!

6 month doctor report

August 3, 2015

Last week I took Samantha for her 6 month check-up. She got an A+ all around!  Happy and waiting to see Dr. Walley…

Her stats: height 26.5 inches (75th to 95th%), weight 16 lbs, 12 oz (75th to 95th %) and head circumference 16 3/4 (50 to 75th %). That means she grew a full inch and gained a whole pound in only 1 month!

Compared to her brothers at 6 months: Maxwell was 26 and something inches long and 15 lbs, 13 oz. I’m a little surprised that Samantha is a full pound heavier than Maxwell was at this age. Spencer was 27.5 inches long and 18 lbs, 3 oz. (!) All healthy babies!

Samantha wasn’t too happy when I had to hand her over to Nurse Shelly to get weighed, but then she finally came back around and was pretty pleasant for Dr. Walley.

We’re always thankful for good doctor reports! I sure do love all 16 lbs, 12 oz of this chunky little baby!

In other news, that night we gave Samantha baby food for the first time. She had some bananas and liked them…sort of.

She’s growing up a little more every day!

6 months old!

July 31, 2015

My sweet baby girl is 6 months old! Half a year…we made it. She’s squeezable, lovable, and basically a dream come true every single day.

Maxwell at 6 months…

and Spencer at 6 months…

She’s still about the same size as Maxwell was at 6 months. I think she still looks more like Maxwell but she’s got some Spencey in her too! She’s a happy, happy baby and smiles with her entire mouth. I mean…she opens her entire mouth as wide as she can when she’s smiling. It’s precious!

6 months samantha

She’s a great sleeper during the day. She naps at 9:00 and around 1:00 and sometimes still gets a 3rd nap in the afternoon. She loves to sleep on her belly and has several lovies and pacis all around her! All pink of course!  🙂  Night time sleep is…getting there. She’s still getting up once a night. Although, last night she did sleep all night – 7:00pm to 6:30am! But, I think that might have more to do with the 6 months shots she got and the Tylenol I gave her before bed! I know I likely just need to let her cry when she wakes up at night but it’s easier to just go in and feed her and get her quickly back to sleep. We’ll get there eventually. Right, Samantha?

samantha 6 months

Ha, right.

She’s still nursing 5 times a day and then again in the middle of the night. We actually gave her a little bit of baby food for the first time yesterday. Bananas! She liked them but was more interested in the playing with the spoon than eating the food.

She’s now a master at sitting up. Pretty much any toy she can get her hands on goes straight in her mouth and she still loves playing with her feet for sure!

samantha 6 months

She’s got the most kissable, chubby cheeks and a sweet little mouth and I can’t keep from squeezing and kissing on her every time I pick her up!

I am so grateful for this baby girl and still cannot believe she’s mine. What a fun half a year it’s been!

We love you Baby Mantha!!
