Jace Matthew Baptism

Summer School

Ellie is off to summer school. The bus picked her up today, she was so excited to get on the bus and go to school. She will be going to summer school 5 days a week through the end of July. The class she is attending is "Ready for Kindergarten", it will give her an idea of what to expect this fall. In the 1 picture she is seated in the 3rd window seat. She looks a little unsure of the situation. Can't believe where the time has gone.

Jace is 2 months old!

Jace is already 2 months old. He is doing great, he is a good sleeper and eater. Last week while Matt was on vacation from work he allowed us to sleep in until 8 am on most days. He goes down well and only wakes to eat 2 times and goes right back to sleep, allowing Mom to feel rested during the busy days. He loves to eat and takes to the bottle nicely (giving Mom a break). He weighs in at 15 lb 9 oz (99%) Length is 23 1/2 inches (70%) and head circumference of 58%, which nicely fits his body. He is already growing out of some of his 3/6 month clothing. He is doing well with head control and likes to sit in his exersaucer and see what is going on around him. He smiles lots and coos a lot. He is overall a very happy baby and we are so blessed to have him. The girls can't kiss and hug him enough, Ellie wants him to chase her but we tell her she will have to wait a bit. Our house sometimes resembles a zoo but we wouldn't have it any other way!

Sydney getting her ears pierced.

Last week the girls had their ears pierced, they both did wonderful, no tears, Ellie actually laughed and you can watch Sydney's reaction. Ellie picked out pink rhinestone flowers and Sydney picked out diamond studs just like Mama wears.

Sydney doing gymnastics.

Sydney loves swinging on her swingset and now does flips on her monkey arm bars.

Jace playing with his gym.

Jace loves batting at his gym and the girls love watching him interact.

The girls new pool!

The girls convinced Daddy to get a little bigger pool despite the killing of the grass! It has only been up for 1 day and already have had a blast swimming. Hopefully our weather will continue to cooperate so they can enjoy the water.

Breakfast on the Farm

We had lots of fun at Breakfast on the Farm. We ate a lot of good food, had our faces painted, and was able to see and pet the cows. The girls had fun but didn't like the smell of the barns! :)

Fun at Chuck E. Cheese's

Ellie, Sydney and Jace had lots of fun with their friends at Chuck E Cheese's.

Jace is 1 month old!

Jace is 1 month old and it seems like he has been part of the family forever! He is doing very well, growing so fast, we can hardly believe it. He has outgrown most of his 0-3 month clothing, although the 3-6 month clothes are big on him it allows him room to stretch. We also had to reposition his car seat shoulder straps to give him more room. He is eating so well and last week we gave him his first bottle with no problems he took to it like a pro. Mama was even able to feed him it with no objection. His sleep patterns are starting to take schedule as long as mom doesn't eat something that doesn't agree with his tummy!

Ellie and Sydney are doing well also, they love having a brother but it has been hard to keep the noise level down. Both girls finished up their swim classes and Ellie will be taking another session of swim while Sydney takes a gymnastics class. Sydney is very excited to do some tumbling. Ellie is also excited to start her summer school. Seems like our days are just flying by!
