Christmas Baby

Merry Christmas from our house to yours!

Sam - 6 months old!

Well that was a fast 6 months!! I'm going to be planning his first birthday before I know it! I took him for his check up today....he is 17 lbs 11 ozs, and almost 27 inches long! He is a growing happy boy! He loves Luke and now laughs at him and it's so cute! He rolls back and forth like a little fish all the time! Still nursing him! He eats every 3 to 4 hours and if I'm good I give him food! He is starting to be ok with the food. I just forget to give it to him! We are hitting the cry it out stage at night. I need sleep! We are staying busy and ready for Christmas! Sam is the sweetest baby! I just want to eat him up all the time! We love this baby! :)

Luke is 2!!!!

Sooo behind on my blog and have TONS of pictures to post! Anyway, my baby boy turned 2 on the 19th!!!!!! That was the fastest 2 years and I know he is going to be 30 before I know it :) We had a dump truck party (pictures to come) for him a week before his birthday and this is what he wore :) On his actual birthday we headed to the zoo! It was a lot of fun and Luke is real into it now b/c he is obsessed with animals! After the zoo we went to lunch and then headed home for naps! We had a fun day as a family!
I took Luke for his 2 year appt and he is a big growing boy! He was 70% percentile in weight (30lbs) and he was 90% percentile in height (almost 37 inches). The doctor told me he would be north of 6 ft tall! Nobody is really surprised at that! He might be taller than me as a teenager, but believe me my voice is bigger and stronger :)
Luke makes us laugh everyday! He talks all the time and cracks us up! He is obsessed with trains, Thomas, dump trucks, tractors, animals, etc! He eats everything under the sun which is great for us! We all sit at the table together every night and eat dinner. He is so cute when we say lets pray and he folds his hands up and squints his eyes! Love it! Took him to the allergist a couple of weeks ago and he is allergic to Peanut Butter! Thankfully it's not a throat swells up thing, and I hope he grows out of it! So if anybody is around him, don't bring a peanut butter snack around, because he eats everything :)
Luke loves going to Mother's Day Out and so do I! He loves his teachers and walks right on in! I do love going to pick him back up though! He is a very good big brother and loves Sambo a little too much as he smothers him :)
We love this kid so much and I can't imagine my life without him! He keeps me busy that's for sure!
Happy Birthday Luke! :)

May the Force be with you.....

Halloween was a lot of fun this year! It was Luke's first time to actually go up to the houses and say trick or treat! After we went to the first house and they put candy in his bag, he was like thank you and thought he was done. I told him lets keep going and get more candy, so when I said that he would say "more" after we left every house! It was so funny. Before we went trick or treating we headed over to the Robinsons house to eat chili. The kids had a fun time playing with each other. It was actually fun dressing up with the kids! I wouldn't mind doing that everywhere! We shall see what Luke wants to be next year! Happy Halloween!

Samuel....5 months!

My little Sambobo is 5 months old today! Brian took this picture a couple of days ago, so I figured it was close enough to today :) He really is such a sweet baby and is a big talker! Like I said earlier he is rolling over all over the place and it's so cute. We are having a bit of a hard time with him getting comfortable sleeping. He doesn't really like being swaddled anymore, but can't sleep and wakes himself up with his arms and it's so frustrating! We have now figured out he wants to sleep on his side! I am hoping we can get this down b.c I am TIRED! I have gotten up several times the past 2 nights trying to figure him out! He is still eating every 3, sometimes 4 hours. He will sleep a little better at night, but not quite yet, but it's just b/c of his sleep sack! He is a little chunky monkey! He wears a size 3 diaper and has been for a little while. This outfit he has on is a 18 month! ha! He doesn't wear stuff that big, but he is pretty much wearing 6 to 12 month clothes. I am going to start giving him baby food here soon consistently hoping he might sleep a little better. He loves Luke and is now getting to the point of smiling and talking to him. He watches Luke and it's so cute! I can't wait until this time next year! They are going to be best friends and that is when having them so close together is going to be way worth it! I am ready to sleep through the night again, but im not ready for either one to grow up. I love this age, and I think it's so sweet! Happy 5 months my little Samuel Barrett! (Yep, still want to call him Barrett :))

Roly Poly....

Sweet sweet Samuel....this baby is the sweetest thing ever! He is so laid back and just goes with the flow now. Yes, he was not like that at first, but he is catching on that we are an on the go family! Anyway, he rolled over from his back to tummy awhile ago. It was funny b.c my mom and I were just sitting there and he all of a sudden rolled! Of course he didn't do it again right off, but now he does! It is hilarious b/c I put him on his back on the floor and he just rolls right on over! It took Luke forever to do this! I have to still swaddle him and put him in his bed at naptime b/c he rolls over and takes him too long to go to sleep. We are hanging in there though. I can't believe he is going to be 5 months old next Monday! He did sleep almost 9 hours last night which was great. I am still just exhausted, so im ready to sleep! :)

be back later with cute halloween pictures!
