First Month, First Boyfriend, First School Pics

Jaelynn turned one month old yesterday! Can you believe it has already been a month? Time flies with these little ones! So what is she up to after this first month of life??
~9 lbs 7 oz
~still wearing newborn diapers
~most newborn clothing is still a little big
~sleeps 6 hours at night
~breaks out of her swaddle but sleeps through it
~loves tummy time and sleeping on her tummy for naps
~lifts her head and has great head control for her age
~tracks objects past midline
~gets her knees up under her and pushes herself forward (she inches all the way up the couch doing this!)
~grunts
~gas, gas, gas (yes, I said it...this is the gassiest child you have ever met!) but I love it because she has the sweetest gas smiles :)
~can stare at her mobiles forever
~loves the bouncer and swing
~loves hair accessories (bows and flowers included!)
~has the greatest big sister ever!



I had the pleasure of watching Mr Hayden the other day while Emily (or as Kaley calls her Emy) went to work for a few hours. I had all three kiddos here and luckily Kaley slept the whole time he was here so I only had to attend to the two little ones. For those who don't know when I go back to work I will be watching Hayden on Mondays and Wednesdays and Emily will be watching the girls Tuesday and Thursday (Kaley will be at MDO most of the day but go over in the afternoon). So, this was a good first run to have them by myself. Emily and I have talked about how Hayden and Jaelynn will probably be more like brother and sister than anything else but for now we will pretend...

What a sweet and handsome little guy!
Two cuties!
I think Jaelynn is turning in for the kiss...
Hayden is having none of that!
Enjoying Tummy Time Together

Today Kaley had her first "school" pictures at MDO! The photographer was doing the pictures with a Christmas background but I wasn't sure what it would look like so I wanted her to be in something pretty neutral with just a splash of color! When she walked into her class one of her teachers commented on how cute she looked and said that she wished she had Kaley's outfit in her own closet! I do have to say she looked mighty cute in her sweater dress and boots!

My silly 2 year old!

If you haven't read the birthday post keep reading...there are tons of pictures!

the cuteness never ends!

so sorry we missed the b-day...it looks like it was a blast!

ps: we called violet "princess toots-a-lot" for the first 6 months because she was definitely the queen of gas!

I love her outfit! And Jaelynn is almost the same size as Marley was at 1 month...I love that they're so close in age!

Christmas can't come soon enough! We'll have to Skype again soon!

Can't believe Jaelynn is already a month old! Time sure flies! Looking forward to the play date so that we can meet Jaelynn!
