Haven ONE Month

Haven Mae- 1 Month
I can not believe this girl has been a part of our family for a month, seems like its gone so fast.  She is the best baby.  I keep asking my sisters if she is okay...she SLEEPS...ALOT!  
  
We are enjoying life so much and it now includes many accessories:  dressses, bows, shoes, socks to match!  This once "boy" mom is learning alot and we are ALL having so much fun with it.  


At One Month you:

Eat about every 3 hours during the day and have one long stretch in the night between 5-7 hours

You weigh about 13.5 lbs and are wearing a few 3 months, but mostly 3- 6 months and 6 month

You are still napping after every feeding during the day but starting to have alot more awake time

You LOVE bath time


Who is THIS guy?
Our first trip back to church since she was born...we were all excited!  

Life with three is fun, challenging and just plain BUSY.  We can't wait to continue to watch these three grow, their love for eachother already amazes us.  So thankful for the blessings God has given us.


Another iPhone update

Last week was a crazy week so I just have a few  pictures I snapped!  We are still adjusting to life with these 3 blessings and having so much fun!  

Long weekend of playing with cousins and baseball makes for GREAT Sunday naps.
Except NOT this girl, she wanted her picture taken instead. 
I picked the dress, Judson picked the bow!  LOL
Need to work on my knots...anyone a Boy Scout?
Eli loves babies 

Tic Tac up the nose...Mom Nurse to the rescue

Blessed by the rain and a game on dominoes

2 Weeks...



I can't believe this sweet girl has been home with us for two weeks already.  Haven is the sweetest thing and we are ALL in love with her.  Judson is very hands on and loves to dress her and pick out bows, blankets etc.  Cole has a lot of questions and I think once she starts interacting more he will be all over her.  Levi and I are still in shock with all this pink in our house and how much fun it all is. 

Haven had her two week check up Thursday...
She weighed 10lbs 7.5 ounces.  She is the weight of a two month old. 
She was 21 3/4 inches.  She is the length of a 7 week old.
Her head was 14.5 inches. The size of a 4 week old. 

Our pediatrician said she is a chunky monkey.  She couldn't believe she had gained a pound.  She said usually big babies tend to lose more weight. 

Haven Mae
* eats every 2-3 hours during the day
* takes great naps 
* sleeps from 4-6 hours at night
* rarely cries 
* loves bath time 

As always, I love watching her grow and change everyday. And LOVE watching her brothers interact with her.

Not too shabby for three

Haven's first Easter and daddy bought her dress.  We think he did a great job,

Pre Easter Fun

Cole had his first ever school Easter egg hunt.  Haven and I went and took some pictures and watched all the excitement.





Saturday morning we dyed Easter Eggs.  To be honest, I am not one for messes and usually hate this kind of activities.  However, the boys dyed, dried and re-dyed eggs for hours that day.  I must say it was so much fun and a life saver on a cold and windy Saturday.  



iPhone Pic Fun


We loved having the Puga girls over to play and for lunch.
Nap time, yes please!
First Pedi thanks to cousin Olivia
Too sweet for words 
Judson's teacher gave him a new big brother gift.
Cole's favorite spot
The girls got Grayson with some birthday cake...Can't believe the twins are 14.

Playing with some James cousins
I hold the baby mom?  I hear this about 100 times a day, such a good babysitter.
No matching bow?  Judson found her a necklace to wear, he has girls and accessories figured out.
Can't believe this boy took kindergarten graduation pics today!   

This is how we watch TV at our house.










One week

I can not believe our sweet girl is a week old.  She has been such a joy to have at home and her brothers love her in the sweetest way.  She eats and sleeps, she is already sleeping a good 5-6 hour stretch in the night, usually followed by a 3-4.  This has been amazing to me, the boys didn't sleep like that until they were probably 6 months or more.  She rarely cries and seems to just be very relaxed when she is awake.  I can't wait to continue to watch her change and grow.




First Bath

She was so chill and loved her bath.
Oh Judson
Crazy mom...I have a picture like this with all the kids and all the same towel.
