Last Hour

Alice’s flight was delayed so the girls spent their last hour together trying to take a nap.

This didn’t work but they did get to read books together on the floor.

Ta hung out with Peanut one last time and both were smiling.

The cousins happened to be dressed in blue today, which made this photo even cuter!

Let it Go…Go!

https://youtu.be/qEIW_z2FglQ

Uncle Johnny captured this impromptu karaoke moment of Janie and Alice singing their favorite song “Let it Go” from “Frozen”.  At 18 months apart, they both know the song very well in their own ways. While Janie is singing the songs and doing the gestures from the movie, so is Alice with so much more enthusiasm and pizzazz.  If you listen carefully, you can hear Janie singing the words while Alice sings the last word of each line.  Love. It.

Peanut is 7 weeks old today!  Look at how chunky his thighs are now!

Here some highlights from this past week:

  • We opened the pack of Size 2 diapers this week and he’s sort of in between sizes now.
  • Only a few of his 0-3 clothes still fit.  Makes Mama sad.  Even his 3-month clothes are getting tight too. I’m gonna have to bring out the 3-6 month clothes next week.
  • We think he went through a growth spurt this week because he’s been extra fussy and always hungry.  He gave Yai a hard time on Monday afternoon while Mama left to pick up Janie from school.  He was inconsolable – even after drinking almost 6 ounces of milk!
  • IMG_0351We also think he caught whatever Janie had last week.  He had a stuffy nose and a dry cough that went away rather quickly.
  • So far his record for nighttime sleep is 7 hours straight but he also wakes up every 1-2 hours in the early morning hours.  During the day, he will nap 2-3 hours when he’s not going through a growth period.
  • His social smile was a lot more apparent and more consistent this week.  It’s so fun to see him respond to our voices and facial expressions.  He also likes to watch and listen to his big sister.
  • Peanut has been cooing and squeaking more lately.  We’re hearing mostly “hoo” and a “guh” sound.  He’s also been very good at making a “maaaaa” sound when he’s mad.

  • He also has double eyelids now.  They appear most often after he’s woken from a nap.
  • Peanut went to his first baseball game this week but slept through most of it.

Our little dude is growing so fast before our eyes and he seems to change daily.

Happy 7 weeks, Peanut!  Love you!

Bedtime Story

IMG_0317

This evening, Peanut laid next to Janie in her bed for a bedtime story.

Janie did a great job “reading” her book and Peanut seemed pretty entertained.  I love the little “hoo” of approval that he gives in the middle of the story.  This just makes my heart melt. 🙂

Peanut also liked staring at the leaf hovering over him.

This is one of Janie’s books right now.  It’s called “ABCs of Cookies” and we got it in the dollar section at Target.  What a deal!

This evening, she “read” the book to Mama.
