Allie's bedroom makeover

We just got finished painting Allie's room, and I must say, I am very pleased. I think it turned out adorable. The stripes were a challenge, but Susan and I managed to pull it off.

Gabe 10 weeks old

Baby Gabey - Stephen hates when I call him this.

Gabe at 10 weeks. He rolled from his stomach to back the other day...I couldn't believe it!

As you can see by the quality of these pictures....my mother-in-law is back visiting. She has only taken a few pics so far, but we are going tomorrow morning for our photo shoot with the kids. I'm sure we'll have much more to post soon. Keep checking back...

Blue Flowers

My husband got these beautiful (being completely facetious) BLUE flowers on sale at the Home Depot this weekend....and you wonder why they are on sale! I've been giving him a really hard time about them.

He did a little better picking out these pink azaleas for the side of the house. Allie helped dig the holes to plant them in....then sat in the holes.

Her white shorts that she was wearing are still soaking in the washing machine. I think they will forever be mud stained. Does the no white after Labor Day rule apply to kids too? I've been wondering that....

Gabe 9 weeks

Gabe had his 2 month well visit today. He weighs 11 lb. 8 oz (50th percentile) and is 22 1/2 inches long (50th percentile). His hair is starting to come in; it's looking like he will be blonde for now. Gabe is our smiler! He loves to be talked to and will reward you with many smiles. He is cooing and we have heard a couple of laughs too. We're still waiting on him to sleep through the night. He goes down around 10:00 and will wake at 3:00 am to eat. Then he starts stirring around 5:00 for the morning. I either feed him or give him his pacifier and hope he drifts back to sleep. He will wake for the day around 6:30-7:00. Gabe had 4 vaccinations today and has been extra fussy this evening. I hope the tylenol lets him sleep okay tonight. Wish us luck.....

My little helper....already cooks better than her momma...that doesn't take much!

Thank goodness Allie started MMO yesterday. This was the mood she woke up in; crying all morning and being extra fussy. I was more than eager to drop her off. Crying or not, I wanted to capture her first morning going to school.
