Haircut

When Jacob was born he came out with a head full of hair.

With both my kids I was told that they would probably lose it or it would change colors, or both, fall out and then come back another color. Well, with Katelyn she never really lost any hair (just got a bald spot on the back of her head), but her hair has pretty much stayed the same color and just kept on growing. So I was positive Jacob's would stay the same color (or pretty close) and not fall out. Sure enough, it has just kept on growing and growing, and it was pretty much at the point where I figured we ought to cut it.

I mean, he had some serious wings. The sides were past the bottom of his ears.

I never expected to be cutting my 3 month old's hair so when the time came I was too nervous to do it so Nick volunteered to do it...

and, he did a great job :)

Easter!

We had a great Easter-- spent with just the four of us as a family. It started off on Friday with a surprise basket for the kiddos from Gramma & Bumpa Morris! We hid it outside before Katelyn woke up and then rang the doorbell and told her there was a surprise at the door and to go check. She was kind of scared at first wondering what was going on.

 Peeking out to see what was going on

 Opening the door to see her basket...

Hmm.. what's this? Pulling everything out of her basket

Reading the card. Thanks Gramma & Bumpa!!

 

Next on Saturday there was an Easter egg hunt in our neighborhood.

Katelyn was so cute trying to gather eggs before all the big kids got to them.

Sunday was a nice day. We went to church then came home and the kids were napping while Nick and I served up our crock pot dinner. Katelyn woke up and we let her open up her Easter basket. She LOVED it. She got some bubbles, new markers for her crayola wonder paper, some sidewalk chalk, a stuffed bunny, and a sticker and coloring pad. 

Here are the kiddos on Easter. 

Katelyn was so sad in the picture because we took her chalk away so she could focus on the camera...we ended up having to give it back to her obviously to stop the tears pouring down her face. Jacob was just a content lil guy. :)

After that I had some other things planned for the day, but we ended up giving Jacob a much needed hair cut (the next post to come) and then we put the kids to bed. We are planning on dying some eggs and doing "resurrection rolls" sometime this week. Overall it was a wonderful Easter & I'm glad I could spend it with my family and teach a little to Katelyn of our Savior and the resurrection. I hope you all had a great Easter Sunday!

3 months!

Wow.. well I'll admit, this last month was a bit hectic with all three of us dealing with some sort of skin problem and it affecting my poor little baby. I had some rough days, but I feel like we've passed through them now and things will hopefully not get as bad again.

Jacob hit the three month mark! I can't believe it. He is such a big boy. Here are some things about Jacob right now as a three month old:

-Smiles and giggles

-Rolled ONCE..then decided he doesn't want to do it ever again, haha.

-He still sleeps from about 7:30 p.m. til 4 (last night til 6 am!) eats, then goes back to sleep until 7:30-8a.m sometimes longer, like today he let me sleep in until 8:45..that was so nice and much needed.

-This past month he has had some really bad skin problems. We don't exactly know what causes it, but it will flare up and he will be in pain, red, and itchy, all over his belly legs and arms and sometimes on his cheeks. So this whole past week it was bad and he was so sad most of the day. It was hard because the longest he would nap for was like 20-30 mins and he'd wake up crying. I'll admit I felt like I was falling apart. Luckily now he is so much better and happy again and his skin is back to normal.

-He weighs probably around 14 lbs.

-He likes to be swaddled still when he is sleeping

-He needs a hair cut!!

  His hair on the sides is so long!

I love my baby boy. He makes me so happy. It's been fun to see his personality in comparison to Katelyn's. You can definitely tell the difference in certain things and tell how boy-ish he already is in some ways. They are both super fun and cute together though and give me a lot of smiles and laughs through out the day.

 We love our little 3 month old!

 We told them they were in jail

 Katelyn was like "LET me outta here!" Jacob didn't seem to mind ;)

 I love baby jeans. I thought he looked so cute in this outfit

Katelyn loves her little bro very much and always reminds me to "Shh ..be quiet mom, Jacob is sleeping." (Sometimes I think she says it because she just doesn't want to hear me singing.)

She also loves to try and do things to Jacob that she does with Daddy, but we have to tell her those are things she ONLY does with Daddy.. like slamming bellies together, or noggins, or scaring Jacob really loud "ROAAR", etc. etc. (if you can't tell Nick and Katelyn are PRETTY crazy together ;)).

 My beautiful 2 year old.. 27 months to be exact

 I can't believe how big she is getting
