Neighborhood Sip N See

We have 4 new babies on our street- and our sweet friends Lis and Mary Margaret threw all of us a Sip N See together- it was such a blessing and a joy to see everyone and these precious little ones.

I can't get it to flip the right way :)

Chance is Brayden's good friend, Caden's, little brother...look how much they look alike?

Thank you sweet friends!

And before we left...we tried to get a few pics of Mommy with her kiddos...

Trystan- 2 Months Old





2 Month Stats:
Height: 24 1/2 inches (98%)
Weight: 13 lbs 3 oz (95%)
Head: 16.5 inches (98%)

Dear Trystan,
What a month this has been!  You are changing so much each day- your facial expressions, you've started to smile at Mommy and Daddy more, you are cooing and talking more, you are responding to things around you, you've found the fan and lights and love staring at them, you are still sleeping well and go to sleep so easily!  We love you so very much!

- Sleeping- You are sleeping very well in your cradle in Mommy and Daddy's room.  You go to bed about 9 p.m. and sleep until 3 or 4 a.m., and then up again every 3 hours.  You very easily get up to eat (no tears, you just start making noises), eat quietly, and go back to sleep after Mommy swaddles you back with your pacifier and drift off to sleep on your own.  Oh the life of a 2nd child, you very rarely get a good morning nap, and every other day we are home and you get to take a good afternoon nap- and when you do, you are swaddled and asleep for 2-3 hours. 

- Eating: You are eating every 2 1/2 to 3 hours.  You are still breastfeeding and taking the bottle each feed during the day.  At night and the early morning, you are content just breastfeeding. 
- Clothes and Diapers: Wearing size 3 month clothes and size 2 diapers

- Favorites: Your miracle blanket to be swaddled in at night and naptimes, your paci, snuggling with anyone who will hold you 

- Firsts:
12/30 1st trip to the zoo
12/31 1st New Years Eve and Party
1/1 1st smiles to Mommy
1/4 1st smiles to Daddy
1/13 1st time to wear a jean skirt
1/23 1st time in the Bumbo chair
1/20 1st time at the park


 Big Brother wanted to get in the pictures as well

Kelbie...in the cozy coupe

At Trystan's 2 month birthday party our niece Kelbie needed some pajamas so she borrowed some of Braydens...unfortunetly, they were a bit too big and she had the toughest time playing in the Cozy Coupe wearing them...it was funny!



Trystan's 2 month Birthday Party

We had all intentions of throwing Brayden a 1 month birthday party, and then Hurricane Ike hit when he was 3 1/2 weeks old and we evacuated for a week or so... So we decided to throw him a 2 month birthday party.  Trying as hard as we can to do the same for both kids, we celebrated Trystan's 2 month birthday with a family party as well.

 Sweet Kelbie...she is SO good with Trystan..

Smiles for Aunt T-T-

Sound Asleep....

It won't be long before Trystan isn't sleeping in a swaddle...so I thought I'd snap a few pictures to remember...



P.S. Please ignore the spit up stain on the sheet...reflux is a mess!

Smiles for my Aunts
Falling asleep peacefully...
Just hanging out looking stylish...This was a lazy Saturday morning and when I brought her out dressed, Danny said "Where are we going?"  I said..."No where...can't a girl just look cute for no reason!" He chuckled :)
1st time at the Park
Silly faces for Daddy...
She loves her miracle blankets- they look like a straight jacket, but she sleeps perfectly in them!
