Easter

We had a great time celebrating Easter this year.  We've been really busy getting ready for our big move, and getting this house ready to sell, so it was so nice to have a day focused on something different.  Mady had not one, not two, not three, but four Easter egg hunts this year.  She definitely racked up on the eggs, and the candy!  Looks like Easter has become the Halloween in Spring, candy speaking of course.

Happy girls after getting their eggs

He had no idea he was at his first Easter egg hunt

Seriously, how cute is this?!

This girl was on a mission

Mady with her besties!

On Easter we kicked it off in the morning with an awesome service at our church.  Seriously, if you are looking for a church home, check out 121 Community Church.  I am going to miss this place so much.  We then stopped for a milkshake, and headed to the Airport park to kill time before heading to see one of Mady's favorite people lately, Uncle John.  We had such a nice time having lunch and visiting with the family, and Mady had a blast hunting for more eggs!

Some happy kids

We have been quite busy, but this past Sunday was a sweet time with family, and remembering how fortunate we are for what was sacrificed for us, and the good news that came after.  What an amazing gift we are given, if we choose to take it.  God's plan for us has been so evident lately, and I'm excited to see how it unfolds.

Now, I did fail as a mother because the only good shot I got of my two little ones on Easter was this one.  Not exactly photo frame worthy.  Maybe next year!

Annual Bluebonnet Pictures

Yes, we are those people that go out every year when the bluebonnets are blooming to take pictures.  We found a field of them close by that we have gone to the past few years.  There was nobody else out there so, unfortunately, we couldn't get a family picture.  We need to get a tripod.  Anyways, I think we still got some pretty cute ones!

This should belong on the "Pooping on Bluebonnets" Tumblr  I saw, haha

2 Months Old

We have hit the two month mark now with our little guy.  He had his two month appointment on Thursday and he is doing great.  He got his shots, which he was not a fan of, but he was a champ and did not have any negative reactions to them.  He got extra cuddling time too!  Here are his stats:

Head size: 15.75 inches (75th percentile)

Weight: 13lbs 10 oz (90th percentile)

Height: 23.5 inches (50% percentile)

He's our little chunk!  He's in 3 month and 3-6 month clothing right now, although they are starting to fit a little snug. Owen is smiling quite a bit and we haven't gotten a laugh yet, but I feel its close because he will give us this little laugh/grunt sometimes.  He is not a fan at all of tummy time, but he is doing great at holding his head up and he is starting to lift up more on his arms when he is on his tummy.  He is a fan of movement and when you're holding him he wants you up and walking.  The minute we sit down with him, he starts crying.  High maintenance!  This does mean that he is starting to like the swing more and more.

As far as sleeping goes, we can't complain.  I put him to sleep after Mady goes to bed, so he is asleep by 8:30.  He usually wakes up between 2-3, eats, and then goes back to sleep until around 6.  We are still working on naps and getting a regular routine set up there, but he does get a good nap in the afternoon for about 2-3 hours.  It's nice because Mady is napping too, which gives me some time to get things done.

Mady is the best big sister.  She is still super sweet with him and loves him so much.  She loves talking to him when he is awake and "playing" with him on his playmat.  It's so cute listening to her talk to him when they are on the playmat.  A few of the things she will say to him:

"I love you Owen"

"I always be here for you Owen"

"It's ok, Mommy will pick you up" followed by "Mommy, come get Owen"

"You hungry Owen?"

One day she told me "Mommy, you are the best toy ever!".  I'm not sure whether to take that as a compliment or an insult because she thinks of me as her toy, haha.  Now that the weather is getting nicer, we have been spending a lot of time outside.  She has finally mastered her tricycle (now that her feet can finally reach the pedals) and loves it!  

This is the sad lip I get when he is about to start crying :(

She loves playing in these trees in our neighborhood

I can't get over how much they look alike
