Just a Little Update on My Babies

Well my sweet boy had his 2 month check up today & everything went really well. He weighed in at 13 lb 11 oz and is now 25.5 in long. He's gonna be a big boy! He got 3 MEAN shots in his little thighs which didn't make him a happy camper :(So far the majority of people say he looks like my dad (Pap Pap)! If they don't see dad in him they see Neal, but so far not a single person says he looks like me! Here's a pic of the little cutie pie...what do you think - Neal or Pap Pap?He is such a sweet boy and so far a pretty darn good baby. He is now sleeping anywhere from 7 to 9 hours through the night, which has been wonderful!!! He smiles all the time and loves showing off his 2 big 'ol dimples! Tomorrow he starts going to day care with his big sister. I am a firm believer in putting my kids in day care for the interaction and the skills they learn from it but I sure am gonna miss having him at home with me!

So now on to Ella Bella.....

She is still doing really well with having a baby in the house. She sill loves him to death and he's the first thing she asks about when she wakes up. I LOVE being a mom and thank God everyday for giving me such a loving and healthy family!
Ella will be moving up into the pre-school program at day care at the end of this month. Her teachers say that since she is doing so well with her potty training, speaking and her coloring that she's totally ready for it. I am so so proud of her but it made me a little sad to see the "pre-school class supply list" I can't believe she will be 3 in October! :(

So I'll leave you with a few pics of the princess - and I have no words for these!Crazzzzy Girl!

We call him "D"

So it's little late but better late than never right? Let me introduce you to our newest addition:

Dalton Christopher

We were blessed with him on May 20th around 4:15 in the afternoon. He weighed 7 lbs 8 oz. & 20 1/4 inches and looked exactly like his big sister!
We are all so proud and greatfull for this sweet baby boy and he is being spoiled more and more by the minute. Ella loves being the big sister - she always says "Mommy, I love him sooo much!" So far we haven't seen any jealousy from her, she pretty much comes in, gives him kisses then goes on about her business. She did back track a little bit with her potty training for about 2 or 3 weeks, but were totally back to where we were...big girl panties all day with just 1 or 2 accidents a week. I couldn't be more proud of her and couldn't ask for a more beautiful, wonderful, healthy family - I am truly blessed!!!So onto the pictures! These are some I took of him at about 2 weeks old on his first trip to Nannie & Pap Pap's house in San Antonio


And here's what he looks like now at 8 weeks old


So here we are, just livin' our love song, and lovin' life! As soon as I find time again, I'll try to keep you all updated here on the old bloggy blog!

I'm Baaaack!

Let me just start out by saying it's not my fault I haven't updated this blog since October - it's Facebook's fault! Ok...so maybe I just don't have tons of time to be sitting around creating blog posts, I'm sorry! So here is a really quick update with lot's of pictures to fill you in from the last 6 months.
First and foremost, I guess I kind of left you hanging by telling you that we were expecting another baby. Well,we still are and it's a BOY! Like you all don't know that by now! He is due May 31st and he still doesn't have a name. We know his middle name will be Christopher after Neal's middle name, but were stumped on the first name. Dalton, Drew, or Connor - were taking votes so please feel free to give us your opinion.
And now for all of you who don't get to see me in real life and have been asking, here's my big belly:

It's definitely bigger than I ever got with Ella :( But oh well, Ella say's "momma's big baby belly is pretty."

Speaking of my sweet girl, I'll share a few recent pictures of her. She has grown up so fast, we can't believe it. She's almost totally potty trained, having full conversations with us, and thinks she's ready to be a big sister.

We love to go camping and Ella especially loves it! She's constantly asking us if were going camping! She loves to go shopping and getting new clothes - she's a total diva! See....

And for other news - I guess we have just been really busy blowing and going. It seems like we have something going on EVERY weekend. But somewhere during the last time we talked we have found time to build this

and this

and....Ella got a new baby cousin. Let me introduce our first and precious niece Adysen Dawn Janacek. She was born in February and has been great practice for Ella. She is actually doing really well with helping change diapers and feed bottles. We still have to give her a little time before Neal or I jump up and hold Ady, but after a bit Ella is usually fine.

I'm sure I'm leaving something out, but it sounds like that sweet girl of mine is pouring cat food all over my utility room floor....crap!

Oh yeah, I have also been busy taking lots of pictures for people lately too...go check them out HERE!

I promise I will get something posted after baby brother makes his appearance, I'm not promising how quickly, but I promise I will! Stay tuned on Facebook if you really want to know what's happening - you'll probably hear from me more often over there!
