A Very Special Delivery

This past weekend Noah received an extra special birthday gift! It was quite the surprise! Inside he found a very soft tiger friend who also becomes a pillow. I've used it as an incentive to keep him in bed at night and so far he's stayed in his bed all night for 4 nights in a row! Thank you, Mrs. Gutwein!

hmm, wonder what's inside?

This was the first afternoon we had him. Noah has slept on him every nap and nighttime since!

kids

i've finally been getting more smiles from her lately. i think her tummy is starting to get better.

i love her face... i pretty much felt the same way about dolls

here ya go Shilo, a pic of her playing with her new toy. she seems to like it, and just stares at the toys trying to figure out why they're hanging above her. :)

oh to be this flexible...

we spent the day at grandpa and grandma king's and this time noah loved the tractor and wanted to ride!

big brother, little sister

This is Ruby. This is Ruby covered with Noah's blanky. The cherished blankies and bear are the only thing he refuses to share with her at all. It's a big NO NO to give his blankets to her. But here she is, covered with his blankets. And this is why...




It started because he saw her little doll I found in her room and placed in her bed with her. He loved the doll, and therefore wanted to trade (for a few minutes only)...

So he started with blankie number one...



then added blankie number two...

and kept adding ...

until she had disappeared...




"mommy, help me!!" i LOVE this pic btw!

"ha ha, you got in trouble!" oh the day when the tongue sticking out starts for real...

Checkups

This post is for me, so that if someday i ever get back to scrapbooking, i can find all their info on this blog..whew...

The kids had their 2 year and 2 month checkups today!

Noah: 30 lbs, 36 1/2 inches tall, 19 1/4 head. He is in the 95th percentile like he's always been for height, 75th percentile for weight and head. He is doing great except for his speech. Because of his lack of speech development and a family history of speech impediments, we need to take him to see a speech pathologist. He received one shot in the arm with little crying!


We've been having a lot of sleep issues lately. This is Noah after he got up at 4 am. (He didn't go to bed til almost midnight!!!) yep... the baby sleeps longer than he does. apparently i've been told by the dr. and several parents that this tends to happen at his age. yay...



Ruby: 11 lbs 11 oz, 23 1/2 inches long, 14 3/4 head. She is 95th percentile for height, 50th percentile for weight and head. He said she is going to be a tall girl! She is doing well also. She is a little behind in her eye movements and focusing, but he said that was okay. Her reflux has improved some and she will still take that super yummy medicine a little while longer. She received two shots in one leg, one shot in the other leg, and one drinky shot. She did NOT like them at all. She gave the words 'drama queen' the true meaning today. Noah always cried a second then was fine; she screamed and was still crying and catching her breath a few minutes later. I'm starting to rethink the ear piercing...

"Hey cuz...give me a high five!" Wow, Ruby isn't that much heavier!

Ready to Ride!

Going home...

This was the afternoon after Bailey was born...we were all a little tired from being at the hospital all night!

Colin gave Noah a drink in a medicine cup. He was being careful not to spill it!

Bailey Nicholas has arrived!

Here he is! My new nephew, Bailey Nicholas, born July 24, 2008, 7lbs 10 oz, 21 inches at 6:04 am. It was a long, tough 17 hours, but Lindsay did great and both are doing wonderfully!


mommy and baby

first grin :)


aww...


this was at midnight...yep, that's my ruby in the rocking chair and my noah watching a movie still awake. lindsay asked for them to be there and it really encouraged her when noah walked in. and no, he didn't go to sleep til almost 130, but that was okay because....
...at about 10 he fell 3 feet head first onto the pavement, getting 3 goose egg lumps on his head and one large lump on his arm. conveniently we were already at the hospital so we got an ice pack and kept him awake. the pic is blurry because he won't let anyone near it (duh), but it's above his ear, by his temple, and at the top of his forehead. well, something had to make the night lively! :)
