Cheese!!

Emory has a new trick.... saying cheese for a picture. Just a little exaggerated. We love this little girl so much!

One Month Old!!!

Our little man is one month old! Gabe has changed so much since we brought him home from the hospital. He now really looks us in the eyes, which makes my heart melt. He has also noticed the TV and light fixtures. Gabe now weighs 9 lbs 1 oz and is starting to grow out of some of his newborn clothes (so sad). Sleep is still erratic, he eats around ever 3 hours but will wake up in between and needs to be settled. We have started his "awake time" and tummy time, but Gabe is not a fan of either.

Of course big sister Emory joined in the fun.... had to hold his hand

Gabe working hard at his play gym.

Poor Emory has been stuck in the house so much since Gabe was born, and she has gotten silly. Here she is running around the house in daddy's sweatshirt.

We had to get some pictures of the kids on Valentine's day. Emory's valentine this year was Gabe. Sadly whenever we ask Emory to say "love you mommy" or "love you daddy" she says "love you Gabe." I guess we should be happy.

Low Key Super Bowl

Three Weeks Old!!!

Let it Snow!

Let it Snow!!!

Thursday morning, Grant woke me up (a dangerous thing to do if not for the right reasons) to have me see the snow. He said, "you need to see this because I don't know if it will still be here later." We were wrong! It snowed all day Thursday, and not wimpy snow that we normally get, big fluffy snow that is fun! It ended up being the most snow that Dallas has ever had from one storm. Grant got off work early and took Emory out to play. He stopped at Target on the way home to get her some gloves (no real need for gloves in Dallas) and there weren't any left but a blue pair that were too big. But at least she had gloves! They built a snowman and made snow angels.

Gabe even got in on the fun!! Too cute!

Building the snowman...

Yummy snow!

The finished product!

Gabe and I stayed nice and warm inside...

We had to drag Emory inside kicking and screaming. She loved being out in the snow, which makes Grant and I so proud (being from Nebraska). Grant and Emory went back out the next day and did more snow angels and went sledding. Because we don't get much snow, we had to use the lid to a plastic storage bin for the sled. Emory had a blast!

Emory loves wearing her gloves. If we go out, she needs her gloves and even if we are at home, the gloves are an accessory to be worn!

Three Weeks Old!!!

Gabe is changing everyday and we are slowly figuring out our new routine. Maybe soon he will start letting me sleep more during the night! He still is eating about every 3 hours, and sleeps most of the time in between. He prefers being bounced to being rocked and still likes to be swaddled for sleeping. We took our first family outing today to keep Mommy and Emory from going stir crazy in the house, and everything went well!

Taking pictures was not going as well this time and Emory wanted to help Gabe calm down. Such a sweet big sister! She tries to take such good care of him with the help of Daddy and Mommy.

We got a new camera recently, and I have been trying to take some pictures of our handsome little man when I get a free moment.

Such a sweet heart!!

Low Key Super Bowl...

Our Super Bowl party was just us sitting around watching the game. The best thing for Emmy was the snacks!

Emmy enjoying the pile of sugar she was able to eat freely... notice she is not even facing the tv.

Oopsy... Emmy got a little too into the game, or the treats!

Two Weeks Old!!!

Already? Really? Two weeks went by so quickly. Emory LOVES having Gabe around and is very concerned if he is not in the same room as her. When we took Emory to mother's day out she had to sit down by Gabe and tell him good-bye, with a hug and a kiss of course!

Gabe had his two week check up today, and he is still doing great! He weighed 8 lbs 0.5 oz (35%) and his length was 20 1/4 in ( 25%). He has gone 4 hours between feeds during the day, but not at night. Hopefully soon enough! Here is Emory at her two week check up.... I can see a slight resemblance.

Big sister wanted in on the fun!

She wanted to hold Gabe's hand.... too sweet!
