3 months..

Can't believe how fast time is flying by and now my newborn is 3 months old! I weighed him and measured him and was some what in shock at how similar he is to Damien at this age.
Lance weighed in at a whopping 11lbs. and is 23 inches long. Damien at three months was 11lbs. and 24 inches. So....looks like they are going to maybe be the same size....lol!! (I had to throw in a comparison picture...they so don't look alike any more!!!)

Lance has started to interact more with everyone. He is cooing and following with his eyes--such expressive eyes already! He is loving using his legs and every chance he gets he tries to stand on them. I haven't witnessed him rolling over but there have been times I come back to where I left him and he will be on his back. I am thinking he rolled over but then I see Damien next to him and wonder to myself if Damien helped him...lol!! Lance has been laughing and smiling so much...that you would think he never cried. But I know the truth...


Lance and his big sister Skylar...love this picture!!Here is to another month down and many more to come...

Skylar is here!!!

We picked her up this afternoon and the whole time before she arrived...that was all Damien could talk about. He couldn't wait to see his "sissy!" I was a little worried that he might be shy around her and not want to have anything to do with her or let me love on her. But boy was I WRONG!! He has been up her arse since she has been here. Anywhere she goes...he wants to go to. Example...When she got here. Her friends wanted to play with her and I let her go. Well, I didn't let Damien go and he was like...I want my sissy and stood and watched her run down the road!! It was the cutest and saddest sight I have seen in a long time!! He lets her hold his hand to cross the street and lets her help him do things that I am not allowed too...lol!! And as I type this...he is sleeping in her bed with her bc he couldn't be without her. I am really dreading when she leaves in 8 days bc he will be so heart broken!!

Lance....on the other hand....has become a pissy little thing!! Ever since I picked up Skylar, he has been a crying machine. Wonder if he senses that my oldest baby is in town...lol!! He literally didn't stop crying until I put him to bed!!

And I couldn't resist...here is some pictures of my babies sleeping together!! I thought they would take forever going to sleep...but they sure fooled me!! Knocked out within 10 minutes...give or take a minute!! He had to be just like her and use the same kind of pillow she did...good thing we had 2 of those!!

Must be comfortable

This is what you get when you leave the baby tub in the bath while drying the baby!! Damien thought it was super comfy and better than just sitting in the tub...lol!! Can't blame him...why not bathe in style and luxury...

Random pics of the kiddos...

Lance passed out in Jenny's arm while I was cleaning the house one night...thought it was too cute to not to take a picture!! This is how Damien hangs out with his brother...I swear sometimes he is going to break our FREE swing...lol!! This was taken on chance and it turned out so cute!! I love my little man... Damien loves to be my big helper. Anytime Lance gets in his carseat...He says it is his turn to buckle him in and he does a great job doing it too!!

Lance Playing

He discovered that he can grab things!! I am so proud!!

Yummy, Yummy Cake Balls

The other day I had some friends over and decided to try and make the delicious cake balls my sister made for Kaya's Birthday. Lets just say the end product doesn't show how badly I did at making them. I burnt the chocolate, almost scorched the almond bark and almost burnt the cake... But at least when it was over with and everything harden....they were quite tasty!! I can't wait to make more...lol!!

The Month of the Military Child

Is this month...April. And today we went to the festival with our neighbor and friend...Maddy and Jenny!! We (Jenny and I) were both glad that we didn't go all day...heck...just the 1 1/2 hours we were there...I look like a lobster...lol!! On the upside...Lance slept the entire time. Well, except when we went over the rock paths and he became the victim of "shaking baby syndrome!"

When we first got there...we ran into the 9-1-1 Fox and Damien and Maddy took a picture with him...He even said their names. Damien was in awe of him and Maddy didn't like it too much that he knew her name...lol!! Damien and Maddy did a great job waiting in line for the Firetruck and Monster truck. While they were doing that I stood in the line for the horse/pony ride. Damien had a shit eating grin on his face from start to finish!! I on the other hand was scared for my life...lol!! (don't mind the hair..it was windy!!)After that...we went and pet the animals in the tiniest cages. Damien loved it and enjoyed seeing the animals that he knows the sounds to...cow, pig, goat and sheep!! Be on the look out for pictures...they will be arriving soon....The pictures have arrived...lol!!


Hugs
the Sledds...

Marie, Damien and Lance
