6 Months

Oh my little Mav...can't believe he's 6 months already...soon to be 7 months. Life is super busy, hence the lack of posts, but I wanted to squeeze in this post real quick before he turns 1. This big guy weighed 17lbs14oz and was 28.5" long at his appointment. He has his 2 bottom teeth and constantly chewing on things, so I'm sure there are more coming soon. He can kinda sit up on his own for a little bit but I have to force him to bend, he likes to stay straight. He now has the army crawl down and I'm sure that official crawling is not far behind. He still is the happiest baby ever. He got his first fever/cold a couple days ago and still is happy as can be. As far as sleeping goes, he still thinks its a waste of his precious time. The moments that he lays his head on my shoulder or falls asleep on me I cherish as long as possible, because it does not happen often. 6 months also marks his first haircut. I was SO not ready to do this, but it needed to be done.  The joy that this little guy has brought to our family is overwhelming. SO SO thankful for this little boy....

Maternity Pics

So as nice as it would've been to have professional pics done...it's just not my style. Too much effort...I know I absolutely would've loved them had I put the effort into making it happen...oh well.  I never had the chance to do it when I was pregnant with the girls, so why start now? ha Lame excuse, I know. So instead, we hand the camera to the girls and just make sure we get a few pics of me big and pregnant so I never forget what I looked like going full term. No matching outfits either. =) Here are just a few funny ones.

5 Months

Wow! Can't believe its been almost 2 months since I wrote last. Time is def flying by. As you can see, my little Mav is 5 months old. Cannot believe it. I don't even know where to start with this little guy. I never in a million years would have ever thought that this guy would bring SO much joy to our lives. I can't help but smile all day every day. It really is pretty much impossible to have a bad day with him around. I really was nervous about bringing home a full term baby. I had always credited the NICU for our girls being such good babies. I thought it was the scheduling that the NICU put them on or that we had gone through enough with them being early and not being able to come home right away that the Lord decided to bless us with easy infants. Well, I was wrong. This full term baby is just as happy and easy going as they were, if not even more. Sleep on the other hand is another story. The girls were the best sleepers. Maverick, he thinks sleep is over-rated. Why sleep and miss all the action!? He doesn't want to miss a thing. The lack of sleeping really doesn't bother me. He is still super happy all the time, and he's the third kid, so he's getting schlepted(is that how you spell that??) around from one place to the next. Needless to say, I'm really soaking up this "perfect baby" thing. Cause I know pretty soon here he's gonna turn in to a handful. I just know it.

Lots more to catch up on. Hopefully I'll be able to return soon. We had a great time at the river the last week of summer. Taylor waterskiied for the first time. School has started for our 2nd grader, and Devan is about to start preschool on Monday. Taylor started soccer and is loving it! It has been awesome to see her growing in all different ways. Gotten a few DIY projects done around the house and starting many more. Life has been SO incredibly busy but good!! That's all for now.

Summer has been great so far. Nothing REAL exciting going on. Just keeping super busy with who knows what. Danny has been working a lot lately and when he's off, we've been working around the house. We've made it to the beach a couple times so far and the weather has been amazing every time, which is rare. Maverick is awesome. Not much to say about this little guy. Danny and I still can't believe we have a baby. He is just the coolest little guy ever. SO SO happy and content. The way he looks at me and smiles, even when he is drifting off to sleep, melts my heart every time. So cheesy I know... ;-) Taylor is THE most amazing big sister ever. She has loved holding him and helping out from the start, but I would've thought the newness of it all would eventually wear off. It hasn't. She is gonna be such a great little mommy one day. Her and Devan drive me crazy some days. It's best to keep them busy doing something, which can be hard, especially when Danny's working 3 days in a row and I'm trying to keep up on everything, or should I say not fall too far behind on everything. We all definately love when Danny's home! Well this is about all I have for now, but bed is calling for me. =)

Update in photos

Life is much busier now with 3. I don't have much time to sit down and blog. Everything is going great. Maverick is such a good baby, he is SO easy. I am soaking up every second that I can with him. He already is gettting SO big. The girls are doing good too. Taylor is almost done with school. Trying to figure out how I am going to keep these girls entertained this summer. Hopefully the weather will be nicer this summer so we can spend most of our days at the beach. We don't really have any planned vacations. Hoping for a couple trips to the river and hopefully up north to go visit our favorites in Kingsburg. Joanie, if you are reading this, will you email me?? leanna152@yahoo.com I've been trying to email you, but it must be wrong. Trying my hardest to get our house organized and finishing some projects that I started before I was pregnant, and starting some new ones I thought of while on bedrest. =) Guess that's about it for now!
