2 months old

My little Jeffrey turned 2 months old a bit ago but I don’t want to miss sharing his stats and how adorable he looked then.  At 2 months he was already smiling.  What a great stage he was in.  He was also doing really well at sleeping.  He took great naps at this point and I think would sleep from around 11pm to about 4 or 5 in the morning.  He’d go straight back down and then wake up around 7 or 8.  Something very unique to Jeffrey is his snorting.  He snorts when he gets really upset and crying.  Everyone always laughs.  It’s really cute.  And then he snores pretty loudly.  I’ll explain below why that happens.

Going to Jeffrey’s 2 month Dr. appointment was my very first outing with all 3 kids completely by myself.  I tried to be as prepared as possible.  I packed both kid’s backpacks with snacks and toys.  It was still a complete riot.  I think the office sets up a video camera in these tiny rooms and then they all sit around and watch a mother break down as her children run wild.  Then the Doctor finally comes in when they’ve had enough laughter.  I mean really.  Why must they lock me in that room with all my children for over a half hour?  Its just torture. 

So let me continue talking about Jeffrey.  The Dr. said he is growing great.  He’s on track, gaining weight and all of that good stuff.  I did ask about his congestion and he said that will go away with time and it is because his nostrils are just so tiny.  Then he started listening to him and told me it isn’t congestion but his throat making that noise.  Apparently when Jeffrey gets really excited or basically any other time his throat collapses a little bit.  He had a fancy term for it but I don’t remember it.  Anyway, I was just starting to freak out and he said babies generally grow out of it around 8 or 9 months.  Alright, so nothing really serious and I guess he’ll grow out of it.  That’s a relief.  That really explains his snoring.  Other than that issue he said he looked fabulous.  He got his shots and was a trooper.  He cried of course but calmed down quickly when I picked him up.

Here are some pictures from the office…

Frisby Reunion

Every year Brian’s mom’s family have a get together at their property.  I remember going to the property before Brian and I were married.  Brian talks about going with his family all the time growing up and going tree-tipping.  Anyway, he loves sharing this part of his life with his boys.  We make it an effort to go each year.

It was a Hawaiian theme.  There was a raffle (where my family won I think 5 times and more but stopped getting prizes at that point), a piñata for the kids, and Hawaiian haystacks for lunch.  It was a great time.  The kids loved the zipline and the swing set.  Of course it rained while we were there for a little bit.  I think it rains every year.

Baseball Game

This was our first game of the season.  It’s Tyson’s second baseball game and Andrew and Jeffrey’s first.  Andrew was a bit difficult to handle as usual but Tyson and Jeffrey did great.  I think it is nice every once in a while to get out and do things like this.  It was a Friday night and we were all tired but wanted to make a fun memory.  I know the kids enjoyed it and that’s what matters most to us.

Andrew was NOT having it to stand by the Owlz.  He just stared at them instead.  It was funny.  I kind of don’t blame him.  Giant red birds…weird.

Just some pictures

Here are some random pictures I found on the computer that I hadn’t blogged about yet.

Jeffrey hanging out at with me.  He’s just a few days shy of 1 month old here.

Jeffrey’s very first bottle (if you don’t count the one they made me give him in the hospital…irritating)  He did great taking it.  I remember worrying but he did fabulous here.  He was just a little bit past 1 month old.  Brian looks tired in this picture.  He probably was. 

All dressed up for his very first Sunday at church.  Handsome, adorable little guy.   {June 30, 2013}

Tyson wanted me to take a picture of one of his Lego creations.  I’m always very impressed by him.  He plays Legos at least once a day, usually more like three times a day.  He is so creative.  He talks while he builds, makes up stories, pretends to be the people, sings songs.  I think he may be an architect when he grows up.  He’s just so smart with building.

And, I can’t forget about Andrew.  Andrew, Andrew, Andrew.  He was very quiet one morning and I figured I ought to go find him and make sure he was okay.  I found him on my dresser playing with my make-up.  I’m talking mascara wand in my foundation, and chapstick everywhere on him.  Thank goodness it wasn’t on the carpet or a huge mess all over the dresser.  The causality was really just him and my mascara.  I have been trying harder lately to not get so upset over his 2 year old-ness and I told him Oh no!  That’s a no-no! and starting snapping pictures.  He said to me, “Mommy make-up.  I pretty!”  Yes Andrew, you look beautiful.  Here are some pictures of him in the tub.  Oh man, you’re a handful.
