25

1. Timothy is adorable. I love having a baby in our home. He is so sweet and makes life better.
 
2. Timothy's eyelashes suddenly appeared and I'm in love with them.
 3. Timothy deals with a lot of girly things in his life. Even tummy time includes umbrellas and (real live) princesses! He wasn't a fan of this and was screaming in the picture, but at least everyone looks happy, ha ha.
 4. After the bedtime routine (books, song, prayer) Audrey usually has a hard time falling asleep. We tell her to look at a book to fall asleep. She counters "5 books!" and as you can see sometimes a few more. Now you know why she falls out of her bed some nights.
 5. Timothy is really handsome when he sleeps.
6. Kirk went to Sweden for a week. He got snowed on, a lot (and liked it!). He was able to sneak away to the temple one night. Everyone spoke Swedish so he wasn't sure how to get English headphones and sat through the session in Swedish. He said it was a really neat experience.
 7. Kirsten picking out her out fit for the day.
8. One afternoon Kirsten played with Timothy on the floor. Both of them were having so much fun and everyone was laughing until Timothy realized he was dressed like a girl, complete with a glove and a sock on his hands. Two months old and already his sisters are dressing him up!

 9. Seriously I cant get over how sweet he is when he sleeps.
 10. Cute kids ready to go to church.
 11. The girls built a blanket/pillow wall in our hallway while Kirk and I were napping one Sunday afternoon. It was taller than Audrey. I totally remember doing this when I was younger, so it's fun to see my girls making the same type of memories.
 12. Timothy is never lonely. Lucky boy has sisters make sure he has plenty of friends.
13. We have been teaching the girls to hang up their own clothes. It made me laugh when I saw Audrey's clothes hung up like this.
 14. Audrey decided to learn to write her name all by herself, adorable right? Also how cute is the family picture she drew?
 15. Audrey got this present for Timothy to open when he was born, but we just got around to opening it last week. Believe me when I say Timothy has not been more than 30 seconds without this bear since. He has no choice in the matter the girls make sure it is in his hands or next to him at all times.
16. Audrey wrote my name for me, she was so proud. Nothing is better than being a mom.
 17. I cannot get over how sweet he is when he sleeps!
 18. Kirsten was devastated when she realized she was no longer "a little girl" and was taller than their play tent.
 19. I love my smiley boy!
 20. We made a hearts with glitter on them for Kirsten's class valentines. Audrey got in on it and made some for friends and Kirsten. She even wrote Kirsten's name which is the cutest thing I've ever seen and I'm kicking myself I didn't take a picture. On Valentines day I made heart shaped cookies with everyone's name on it. Kirk was gone all day on Valentines. He left the house at 4:30 am and didn't get home until after bedtime, which was bummer but sometimes that is just how life goes. I got the girls cute unicorns which they (Audrey mostly) were ecstatic for. I told Timothy he had to be my valentine, he was a little skeptical about the idea, ha ha.
 21. Whenever we drive by the strip the girls get so excited about the Excalibur castle. We finally had a reason to go the other day and they were disappointed about what it was like inside. The girls were convinced we were at Disneyland and kept begging to go on the roller coaster at NYNY. We promised them someday we would actually take them to Disneyland and they would not be disappointed.
 22. Kirsten and I went on a date to a baptism of a friend. Afterwards we thought it would be fun to go out to lunch. The only problem is we ended up at the most ghetto Wendy's in town. The kicker was when a bald person came out of the ladies room we were about to go in, I had to double check that we were headed into the right bathroom. Kirsten didn't mind she was happy to have apples and chocolate milk. Afterwards we went shopping for Easter dresses and she cracked me up when she had me hold up two dresses then stood back trying to decide which she like better.
 23. These two "helping" me fold laundry.

 24. Poor Timothy doesn't know what personal space is.




25. Kirsten being silly in dads car.

2 months!

 
My baby boy is two months old! Here's what we know about him so far.
  • He likes to sleep! His personal best in 10 1/2 hours of blissful uninterrupted sleep. He also takes 2-3 3 hour naps a day. I think this is why he is so big, his body gets bored during all the sleeping and just grows.
  • He likes to eat every four hours and he's quick about it, taking maybe 15 minutes total.
  • He does not like to be alone in a room. He will make it known if he is left a lone in a room if even for a moment. 
  • He loves his crib, it's already a struggle to get him to sleep anywhere else.
  • He loves to be entertained by his sisters, especially watching them dance.
  • He does not give out smiles easily, but they are soo worth the effort. Mostly he likes to smile at the ceiling or wall.
  • He has a cowlick on the left side of his hairline. I find it pretty stinking cute. 
  • He has discovered his arms and legs but doesn't know what to do with them other them kick and punch madly.
  • His hands always seem to be stinky and full of lint?
  • He is "cute and pretty and sooo tiny" according to Audrey
  • He is a big boy and I would guess about 15 pounds (I need to go buy some 9 month jammies...didn't think we would need that size until late summer, silly me)
Love that bulgy belly
two months, doesn't he look huge?!
aren't they sweet

Tuesday

The carpet turned into water  so the girls lined up random items from their beds across to the house to our bed.
Had to stay home from school (que Audrey's nap highest priority) so we practiced writing Howcroft, reading books, pronouncing words, counting, and drawing pictures for each other. It was way better than school if you ask me :)
concentrating hard to draw me a picture
Handsome as ever
Not going to lie, this was the best part of my day. I love this child
(I love this child, I love this child, I love this child)

Scenes from today

Wiggled his arm out of his swaddle, tricky boy!
Wearing her towel on her head to dry her hair. She thought she was the bees knees
Happy about clean hair!
Happy boy!
Smellin good after a bath
Took a long nap on our bed.
Being "Mrs Gina"
 
Made a billion homemade chicken nuggets, not sure why I bothered since the girls had to be bribed into eating one for dinner. Good thing I have a freezer!

Dress up from our closet (yes Audrey is wearing my bra, ha ha)
Playing piano. Kirsten is playing "on the grumpy side"
