Anderson is 4 Months Old!

I cannot believe my little man is 4 months old! Today we took him to the doctor because we thought he had an eye infection but he does not thank goodness! But they did weigh him and he was 13 lbs. 8.4oz. His 4 month well check is not until March 13th which will be closer to 5 months so I won't have any STATS until then.

GIGI is here!! We are having a great time.


Karoline walking in GiGi's slippers.

Anderson got some new kicks... They are little baby New Balance shoes. His doctor said to get him some athletic shoes (so he can take up running I guess). Are they not the cutest!!


Of course while Barna is here she had to make a cake! She makes the best cakes... so we celebrated Karoline and her birthday coming up in March. Karoline loved singing happy birthday to herself.


This is the position Anderson is in almost every night from about 7PM until bath or bedtime. TJ has to stand up with him or he get fussy. He loves his daddy's magic hold.

An Early Birthday GIft and No Cast!

After Anderson's doctors appt. I picked up Karoline's birthday present from Gammy and Gandaddy today and she loves it!! Huggums has a high chair! THANKS GAMMY!




Anderson's Doctor's Appt.
The doctor thought Anderson's foot looked really good and thought he didn't need another cast! I was so excited. I have to go back in two weeks to make sure it is not moving back but he said that should not happen. Anderson was quite the happy little boy. He did say to always buy Stride Rite shoes for a few years... GREAT another child with expensive feet!!!! But it is worth it I know!

A Day of Freedom!

I got up at 8AM (I HATE getting up before 8:30!), got ready before the kids got up at 8:30/ 8:45ish, and we were hurrying to get out of the house for Anderson's doctors appt. this morning when the phone range and his appt. was canceled. But we took his cast off on Monday night so he got to have a day of freedom!! I think he enjoyed it. His foot looks great and we can really tell that it is getting better!!

Okay... There are a LOT of pictures that will hopefully keep my mom happy for the next few days. TJ's mom is coming tomorrow for 6 days and we are so excited. But I am sure we will be busy so I won't have as much time to post. I am going to try and take advantage of her being here and run some errands during nap time... I have a lot of birthday party planning to get done! Karoline's party is on March 2nd! Anyway... Here are the pictures.

Baby Gap model in the making...

This was so funny when TJ found him in the swing with his cast hanging over to the side.... just chillin!

Yeah, he is a thumb sucker!!! Despite all my efforts to make sure this didn't happen, it did!


This is how we soaked off his cast this time around. Because it was 2 weeks old it didn't take as long to soak off. It took about 30 minutes...He never complained one second. He is such a content little man (very different from his sister!)

Karoline's hair was standing straight up when she got up...

Giving Huggums a hug...

Anderson enjoying his day of freedom from the cast. Isn't he just so cute!!!!

A Labor Of Love!

TJ working after lunch time...

Climbing the climbing wall like Uncle Brent (Happy Birthday by the way!)...

First official trip down the slide!!! It was so slick she slid off and landed in the grass... and we all know how she feels about grass! She screamed for me to get her up because she was not about to touch it!

It was a little cold so we had to go put some more clothes on before we continued the fun...




Sunset... TJ took a picture from the "window" of the swing set!

Almost done...

It's FINISHED!!!!! At 9:40 PM!!!!

Sweet TJ! That man spent so much time on this swing set but at 9:40PM tonight he FINISHED!!! Karoline LOVES it although she only got to play on the slide today. She is going to be so excited when we take her outside tomorrow...
Sorry no pictures of Anderson... I have a whole other post for him but it is almost midnight and I have to go to bed so check back tomorrow or Wednesday! He gets a new cast put on tomorrow!

Cutest Kids In the World!

I don't have much to say today but I am tired! I did a lot of housework/ organizing today while TJ worked on the swing set a little. Then the kids and I had a birthday party to attend which was fun. Anderson went to bed at 7:30 and Karoline at 8 and now it is time to relax! Tomorrow is a busy day and then we are going to be getting ready for GiGi's arrival on Wednesday!! Yeah! We can't wait!

Oh, I do have to document that Karoline has learned the song Jesus Loves Me and it is precious! She says "Jesus loves me. Jesus loves me. Jesus loves me, Bible me so" I put "me so" in bold because she screams it! It is precious!!!
Anderson playing on the Lazy Anderson!

Silly little girl... she found a pacifier of Anderson's (he does not use them anymore) and put it in her mouth. She also never used one so I am not sure why she wanted it so badly. She cried when I took it away.

Cute little boy...

Anderson loves grabbing toys now and actually playing with them...


I never get sleeping pictures of Karoline anymore but I had to wake her up for a birthday party and she was so out of it I thought it would be a good time.


Some of TJ's progress today. He actually did more after I took the picture. He thinks he should be done by Monday night.

Happy Valentines Day!

Happy Valentines Day!
Well, I actually got up and made pancakes! I tried to make heart shaped pancakes but I didn't do so well... Anyway, they were good. I kept trying to get Karoline to say Happy Valentines Day but she kept saying Happy Birthday! So funny...

I am in major pain today! I took a step class yesterday and my legs and my abs are killing me. My abs hurt so much that it hurts to laugh! I guess after 2 c-sections I need to go a little slower! I am enjoying the workouts though but I'm taking today off. Anyway, here are some pictures and a video...
Karoline working on her valentine to TJ...

My sweeties (Anderson was still asleep)...

Karoline opening her card from us...

Feel the LOVE...


Karoline is opening her Valentines Day package from Gammy. We all got Dora valentines and Karoline got a fun Tshirt with hearts on it...


Video
These are from yesterday... Yeah, daddy forgot to take off Karoline's socks before putting her in the bath! I just had to take a picture!!

This boy LOVES this bunny!!

OH and here is what TJ get to start working on putting together... It's quite large but I got an amazing deal on it!! We were looking for a swing set but didn't know we would get one so big! I am a sucker for a good deal!! We wish Uncle Jared was here to help out!

Karoline on TV

Okay, I made it through my first class at the YMCA and the kids enjoyed the childcare. I am so glad we are joining and I can get in shape!! Anyway, TJ thought of the great idea of video taping the clip of Karoline on TV. I also took a picture for her scrapbook. I love the look on Regis's face! I know she was not on there long but I had my proud mommy moment. I do have a friend in Georgia who said she saw her so that is fun!

Video of Karoline on Regis and Kelly It's a little hard to see but oh well...

I have to add a picture of Anderson so here he is sitting with Miss Misi in our backyard. It was such a beautiful day today!!

Karoline Was On Regis and Kelly!

This was so strange. I never watch Live with Regis and Kelly anymore because Karoline always wants to watch Dora. Well I was nursing Anderson and his foot hit the remote control and the TV went to Regis and Kelly. Normally it is always on ESPN because that is the last thing TJ watches at night. They were about to show baby pictures because it is baby week and I sent in a picture of Karoline so I thought I would watch for a second. A minute later there was the picture of Karoline right behind Regis!!!!! It was only on there for a few seconds but it was so cute!!! I was able to hit record on the DVR so TJ can see it and I'll save it for the grandmothers too. If you have it recorded on your TIVO/ DVR it is about 17 minutes into the show... Just wanted to share... This was the picture I sent them (minus the red eyes- I corrected them before I sent it to Regis and Kelly but I can't find the corrected picture)...
