.... AND THERE'S MORE....

I've been neglecting my blog all month so now I'm paying for it.  I've got tons to blog about but sometimes life just gets away from you.  Actually, I'm being treated for postpartum depression so I haven't been feeling like myself.  However, the meds seem to be doing the trick and helping me to get onto the right track.  It's been a rough couple of  weeks trying to get out of my rut.  But I'm starting to feel MUCH better.  Anyways, now for the fun stuff...

You will notice BELOW that Rainbow Sparkles has a new BFF.  Her name is Pretty Panda and Mia made her at Build-A-Bear with her dear sweet Aunt Camillia.  Along with the bear came a whole new wardrobe and tons of hair bows for their bears.  


I realized that I've been SERIOUSLY slacking in the picture taking department.  So I've been trying to make up for it the past week or so.  The girls absolutely adore Landen and want to hold him any chance they can get.  Mia only lasts for about a minute but Kalea will hold him for quite awhile.  They are both great big sisters.  Landen really seems to adore them right back.  He stares at them and smiles now too!  It's fun to hear his little coo's and to see how much he's changed.  In case I haven't talked to you in awhile, Landen has become an ANGEL baby.  He changed so much and seems so content all the time now.  He rarely fusses unless he's hungry or sleepy.  It's so much easier.  What brought on the change, you wonder?  Well, after I would nurse him, he would CRY AND CRY AND CRY... sooo, we thought he was gassy.  Um... the baby just wanted MORE.  So afterwards, we give him a bottle if he wants more and mama just isn't doin the job.  Sorry for starving you the first month of your life, bud.   Anyways, here are some pictures of my kiddos.


We had a really fun weekend this past weekend.  Christian got free tickets to the Duke vs. Miami game on Saturday.  So we took Crystal (Christian's sister) and Brad along and had tons of fun with them.  Aunt Camillia and Uncle Cayler watched all of the kids for us... yes all 4.  It got really cold during the game and one of the absolute highlights for us was seeing this crazy guy walk around in spandex shorts and THAT'S IT.  We thought it would be funny to take a picture with this guy but after much deliberating decided that it was a little bit creepy.  So we passed.  But he seemed nice and waved to me at one point.  Weird.  



Here are some random pictures of my little man smiling... sort of.  It's hard to catch his quick little smiles since they come and go pretty quickly.  I LOVE LOVE LOVE this little boy.  He's such an awesome addition to our family.  A quick update on his 2 month check up he had.  He got his shots of course, which he did not like.  He was quite devastated by them.  Also, he's in the 75th percentile in his weight and in the 30th percentile in his height.  So, we've got a short fat one folks.  



This last picture is of Landen at like 1 week old.  This onsie was given to us by Brad and Brittney Nelson who I miss like crazy!  Brad plays baseball in the Minor Leagues for the Braves.  They live in Utah during the off season so I haven't seen them in a really long time, but it's so great to see them when Brad comes in town for a game or when they're just out here visiting family.  Love you guys!
