God Bless Gripe Water!

Oh last night was rough. Anderson has not been a spit up baby so far until late yesterday afternoon. He started spitting up in quite large amounts. Last night (I am speaking of the middle of the night feedings) he would only eat on one side and then I would change his diaper and he would spit up everything he just ate. He didn't sleep very well and he continued to spit up a lot this morning. On top of this he had HORRIBLE gas. So Anderson and I didn't go to church. When mom got home I had her go to the vitamin store to get Gripe Water. IT WORKED! He has not spit up since and he has been sleeping SO much better. He and I both got a nice long nap this afternoon. God bless the makers of Gripe Water!!

Anderson was dressed by his father before a party the other night... TJ picked out one of his many guitar shirts.


Watching the depressing Auburn game with daddy... so depressing Anderson decided to sleep through it.


Emily and Avery came over to play and brought us dinner...


Gammy and Karoline before church in her outfit Gammy bought her... so cute!


Anderson fast asleep... Praise the LORD!

Back to the Park-Karoline was THRILLED!

Friday was such a beautiful day and when Karoline sat down for breakfast I asked her if she wanted to go see her friends at the park. She was SO excited because we have not been to the park for two weeks or so... she was so excited that she didn't eat any breakfast and just wanted to get down and go! We had a lot of fun and all our friends in our Mommy and Me group got to meet Anderson. I also took some pictures of the beautiful trees... I just love fall!

A Two Week Old and A Teething Toddler

I am tired...

Anderson is doing great and so is Karoline... BUT she is teething and is in a lot of pain and has not been herself lately. I feel so bad for her. She says "Hurt, teeth". She got her flu shot today too but did great. She didn't even cry or come close to it.

Today was Anderson's two week check up. The doc said he looked great. He was 7 lbs. 6 oz when we left the hospital and today he was 8 lbs. 13 oz (49%) ... He is growing!!!! He is also 21 inches long (59%), and his head circumference is 14.25 inches (29%). Can you believe that Anderson has such a small head!!! Karoline's head has never been on the charts so this was a shock! Anyway, he did not have to get any shots thank goodness. He is beginning to do really well at night and he is getting better at napping in his bed. This is important for him since I need to be able to spend time alone with Karoline during the day when TJ is at work and I need them to also take a nap at the same time in the afternoons so I get some "me" time too. I hope you enjoy the pictures and the video. The small shot of Karoline in the video pretty much describes her mood. Oh, I can't wait until teething is OVER!

Karoline playing with Anderson before church...






Anderson had some bad gas issues the other day so this was the most comfortable way for him to sleep on Gammy.


He fell asleep in his swing with his pacifier resting on his face... it was so cute.

Anderson working on his tummy time... and Karoline quickly displaying her mood!

Trunk or Treat and More

I thought this was such a cute picture of Karoline and her daddy...


Karoline was SO scared at the Trunk or Treat! She didn't like the decor...



Karoline looking through her candy...


Anderson all dressed up in his Auburn gear...


Karoline and Avery... Avery was so cute and she won best dressed baby girl at the Trunk or Treat.


Mommy and the future Auburn cheerleader...


Karoline LOVES her baby brother...



Karoline has done this twice but today I actually got a picture of it. She wanted milk so she got it out of the fridge and took it to her room. Thank goodness she can't get the top off yet.


This is a cute video, especially the first part... hope you enjoy!


Many of you have asked how we are doing and how I am healing from the csection. We are doing great so far. Anderson has spent three night sleeping in his crib and not in our bed!! yeah! We are working on naps... he took two good naps in his crib today but his other naps we just held him.
I have healed wonderfully so far from my csection. No complications. I don't know if it was because I had a different doctor or because this was my second cs, but I recovered much quicker than I did with my first.
Karoline is adjusting well... better than I though, but still has her "I only want Mommy" moments. We love having two wonderful children... Thank you Jesus for such a blessing.

Earthquake and Success

Okay, so last night mom and I were putting Anderson down in his crib... I was leaning over the crib putting in the pacifier when the crib started shaking. I looked at mom and said "Are you shaking the crib?" thinking mom was losing her mind by shaking the crib. She said "Nope"... then TJ shouts out from Karoline's room, "Hey did yall feel that earthquake?" We walk into Karoline's room and her chandlier was moving back and forth. So there was a 5.6 earthquake about 55/60 miles from our house. It was the strongest earthquake in the area since the big quake in '89. Anyway, my mom and Anderson experienced their first quake.

After the quake we had great success with Anderson sleeping in his crib. He slept there ALL night until 8:30AM (except for feedings of course). TJ brought him to me in bed at 8:30 AM and we slept until almost 10! It was GREAT! I hope tonight goes just was well!

Anderson Is A Week Old!

We have had an amazing first week. It has been wonderful and we are so blessed. There are so many pictures because I just have the cutest children and can't pick out just a couple. There is a video at the end of Anderson with his eyes open! Enjoy!

Anderson sleeps GREAT at night as long as he is in our bed. Last night though he slept for 4 hours in his bed so we are on our way to success.
