2 Months

Graham turned 2 months on the 26th. It has been a fast 2 months!!!
His stats:
Height: 1'11'' 57%
Weight: 12lb 2oz 63%
Head: 15.4in 29%
He has grown 5 pounds since his 2 week appt! He is still our tiniest by 2 months, just by a bit, but he started out smaller so technically he has gained probably more than the others in such a short time!
Graham is getting so fun! He just lights up anytime anyone talks to him. He gets a little nervous in big groups, but he is the smiliest baby at home. He coos and coos and they are the sweetest little sounds. He loves to be held. He has a strong neck because he loves to be held facing out. He sleeps fairly well waking up usually around 4-5am and that is about it MOST nights. He has had the worst baby rash, but it seems to be on its way out. He is still being nursed sometimes and mostly drinking from pumped bottles. The doctor ruled out tongue tie, but man it sure feels like it! We have found our routine and sometimes it is nice, with 4 other kids, to be able to just bring a bottle to our outings, and still be able to nurse at night. He is such a sweet tender little guy. There is nothing like having a newborn in your house and I am trying to soak up those quiet moments at night while all the other kids are in bed, just to enjoy it while it lasts because it is going SO quickly. He loves his binky and sleeps almost every time we are driving or he is in his carrier. He has handled soccer games and running around like a champ. We are so blessed to have this little man in our home! We have his blessing on Sunday. Love our according to Nate "bubee bam."

Nate loving on his baby brother!
 Ready for summer!
 I LOVE this tree. I get sad that it only stays like this for a few weeks, but so fun every year!

 Levi had his 3rd grade school informance where they honored first responders. It was super cute and they sang some cute songs!





 We started the longest week ever over Spring Break, ripping up our floors!!!! So glad that week is behind us!

 Bumpa came up and fixed a doorframe that had water damage



 Kids got creative. We went to parks everyday and luckily the weather was good so they played outside and downstairs all week!!!





 Once the first line got in and we got to the open areas, the boys were great runners!

 We took a needed break on Thursday that week and headed to the Dino Park and dinner with the Johnson's. The kids had lots of fun! We love that park enough that we upgraded to an annual pass!







 Putting the house back together! My favorite part!
 We have been very much in soccer season and at 2-3 games a week a long with 2 practices every week. It has been so much fun to watch this season! They both have been rocking it!
 Zack got brave one day after accidentally bonking his tooth and asked me to flick his tooth out. He was shaking nervous but he did it! Only took one flick and we almost lost his tooth!

 Started refinishing our table.

 We ran down to Cash's birthday party one night and before hand met the Johnson's at the Dino Museum.






 My boys crated themselves for FHE one night. Actually worked out nicely! A lot less bouncing on the couches!
 Came home from Walgreens with one of their red noses. She was too cute!

Quick story. I may just be a little tiny bit tired/crazy these days trying to keep up with all the kids and Dan being gone quite a bit at school, work, and church. So....one day I was hustling around trying to get all the littles ready to head out the door for something. I had taken Makayla to the bathroom, changed Graham, and I grabbed a diaper to change Nate. Well, I walked right up behind Levi, who was filling his water bottle up at the kitchen sink, and pantsed him! He screamed and turned around to find me squatting there with diaper in hand. When we both realized what I was doing we were rolling laughing on the ground. Levi grabbed my phone shortly after and texted his dad. I found his response funny! I may be losing it, but if that is the worst thing I do I think I'm ok! HA!
The boys taking pictures of themselves. I actually thought they turned out pretty good!
