Stuck In The House

We're stuck in the house again for the next few days because of this crazy winter weather.

Hannah's school was canceled for tomorrow because of the frigid temps.

We have been doing our best to keep busy. We're reading, playing on our leap pads, doing crafts, playing soccer in the hallway. Mama made puffins (pancake muffins) and m&m cookies.

Daddy will be home late tonight so I told him to pick up dinner on the way home. :oP Maybe we'll start a fire tonight too.

Maybe I'll pick up an unfinished afghan and crochet later today. I haven't done that in quite some time. I really have to finish Hannah's flower afghan so I can start on Hailey's. :o)

We're just trying to make the best out of being stuck in the house.

Stay warm, friends!

Happenings Lately

This last week was a long one! We all had our turn with a nasty head cold. Colson was first, then Nick, then Hailey and Hannah, and then I ended the week of the sickies. Hannah missed school for a couple days. We spent a lot of time in our pjs and we watched lots of cartoons.

I would say that today we are all about 95% better. Just in time for more frigid subzero temps and more snow. Why can't it just be Fall all year long???

This weekend will be spent catching up on house work and laundry, and planning out some meals that actually require some effort. :oP

We also have someone that is turning 3 in a week. It just totally blows my mind that Colson is going to be 3. I swear he was just Haileys size. The big birthday party is next weekend and planning is underway. Hopefully we don't get anymore crazy snow storms and we can actually have his party.

Colson wanted a train party so I have been working on decorations for it. He's pretty excited about it and asks everyday if today is his party. :oP

I'm pretty glad this week is over. It's never fun when your kids are sick. And it's definitely never fun when mama is sick because she doesn't get sick days. :o/ But now the sickies are out of the way and we can finish the details on Colson's party and just have fun celebrating our little man. :o)

4 Month Comparison

HANNAH:                              COLSON:                                   HAILEY:

14.9 lbs (75th)                         14.5 lbs (40th)                             12.14 lbs (31st)

24 in (45th)                             23 3/4 in (10th)                            23 1/4 in (14th)

  
Hailey is by far the smallest. I seem to just make smaller and smaller kids. :o/

I just hope we avoid any issues like we had with Colson.

All Smiles

Hailey is absolutely fascinated by this orange stuffed toy. It "talks" in this really high pitch voice and whenever it talks she just gets the biggest smile on her face. :oP

I really need to capture it on video because it is just too funny!

Hailey's 4 Month Well Baby Visit

Miss Hailey had her 4 month appointment today.

All looks good.

The doctor was a bit surprised that she is sleeping 10 hours every night.

Asked if I put her to bed awake--yes.

Asked if she sleeps in a crib in her own room--no. :o( And thanks for reminding me. Ah! He said that they usually prefer there to be at least a barrier of some sort so they can't see people, but as long as she is in her own bed and staying asleep being next to us that its not that big of a deal.

He said there is no real rush to start solids because she is sleeping so well...which is what I figured. So I plan to start food around 5 and a half months old.

Hailey got a big thumbs up from the doctor and said Little Miss looks good. Steady on the growth chart so we hope that continues.
