Jameson

Jameson is changing already! He is filling out and looking less like a newborn. He will be 3 weeks old tomorrow! I finally got a 5 hour stretch of sleep last night! Hallelujah! Here are a few recent pictures of him!

I Like Big Butts!

Ella's cousin Kate gave her a swimsuit a year ago or so and it was a little mermaid swim suit. Ella has been so excited to wear it for such as long time, but the bottoms always fall off. So, the swimsuit is a size 4 and I told her she could wear it the other day since she is 4 now. I told her that it should fit her now. In the past I told her that it was too big and would fall off her bottom. Anyway, Ella got all exciteds and said, "Yeah mommy is my butt getting bigger?.....this is so exciting!" She then went on to chant, "yeah, I have a big butt" repeatedly. We tried on the suit and unfortunately the bottoms still fall to the floor, so we have to cinch it in the back and put rubber bands around it! Regardless, Ella is very excited to wear the suit and is very excited at the thought that her butt might be growing. Don't we wish that was our problem as an adult? I would love to excitedly look in the mirror every day to see if my butt had grown.

Welcome to the world Jameson!

My goal this weekend is to get all of our pictures updated from the past few weeks. As you all know, Jameson arrived on July 8th weighin in at 8 pounds 3 ounces / 21.5 inches long. So far, he has been a sweet little baby. He has some similar features of Ella and Bradley, but has a different nose and we can't figure out whose nose he has. He likes to be held a lot, which might be slightly difficult for me with 3 kids now. Ella and Bradley love having a baby brother and have adjusted well to his arrival. They are very good with him and love on him all the time. However, neither one of them have adjusted to the reduced amount of mommy time. The other day Ella was very argumentative. When I asked her what was srong she said, "If you had more time to spend with me, then I would be happy." Now doesn't that just break your heart as a mother. Ughh!! Bradley started throwing some major tantrums, which have pretty much stopped already, but he now is not sleeping good at night. Bradley has hardly woke up in the middle of the night ever and now he is waking every other night. It is so frustrating to be awake in the middle of the night with a 2 year old when your staring across the room at baby Jameson sleeping soundly in the bassinet. Ella is a good sleeper unless her brother cries, so you can bet that on any night that Bradley wakes up...Ella is up too. In case you were wondering, it is possible to fit 2 adults, 2 toddlers and 2 75-pound dogs in one bed. Anyway, the addition of Jameson has been wonderful and we look forward to seeing his personality unfold. Being a mother of 3 healthy, sweet children truly is the best blessig God has given me. I've attached few pre Jameson pictures that were taken just a few days before his arrival! Take care!
