Baby Elle: 3 Months Old

It's been a long-short three months  but we made it!  We desperately want her to grow up so she can sleep better, but desperately want a baby forever in our house at the same time.  Elle has been staying more awake during the day on a "loose" schedule, and she loves to have conversations and watch Jack play.  Jack has been a huge help throwing things away in the garbage, getting her binky when she cries, and giving her the first few sips of her bottle when she's hungry- it's adorable.  I know that two under two is quite an undertaking, but I'm seriously loving it; although we think Jackson thinks Elle will be a baby forever!



Age: 3 Months
Weight: 11.1 lbs per a sick visit to the pediatrician : (
Eye & Hair Color: Dark brown & dark blue
New "Thing":  Cooing & kicking!  We are getting a lot of smiles now too and squeals of delight
Likes: Her swing at naptime, Jack, the dog, having conversations, her "fish tank" & Daddy
Dislikes: Carseat, moving or not moving, just all around dislike....makes car rides super fun.  Not a huge fan of diaper changes already either, probably picked that up from someone else...
Mommy Likes:  I'm loving how little she still is and how these days won't last much longer- I almost blacked out forget these early days with Jack
Sleeps: She's been sick the last week and a half, so sleep is pretty bad these days- 11pm,1am, 4am, 6am & 7am she's up!
Changes in Mood:  Aside from being sick, she is SO happy!  She's also more independent than Jack at this age, happily lays in her playmat or bouncer alone with a full tummy
Eating: Nursing and supplementing 2-4oz every 3 hours or so
Clothes:  3-6 month pajamas b/c of her length, and 0-3 in onesies/dresses 
Looking forward to:  Sleep training in her room of course, and Valentine's Day outfits!  I might already have two of them..... Having a little girl is SOOOO much fun : )  We are planning a Valentine's Day photoshoot in the backyard with the kids, we are excited : )

January: Baby it's cold outside....

It's been reallllllly cold outside and we all have coughs, but everyone still has a great attitude thankfully during this freezing cold spell we are having!  Even though it's only in the 30's/40's lately, the weather has been gorgeous and we have found plenty to do despite not being able to play outside constantly.  This month Elle turns 3 months old and Jack 23 months which means he's almost a full blown toddler 2-year old!  


This is how we spent NYE with a newborn and a toddler in the house....cheers!!

Christmas Day 2014!

Elle's First Christmas and Jack's somewhat First-Christmas-where-he-understood-kindof-what-was-going-on was a huge success!  Jack had the best time opening presents and saying "Surprise!" and Elle looked adorable in her Christmas outfits!  We started the morning by having Nana and Bobbo over, followed by nap time and then to Aunt Missy's house for the Olson family Christmas.  The following day we went over Aunt Cake's house for dinner and Uncle Lovelin got to practice holding/feeding/burping a baby for his due in June!
