Groccery shopping

Such a good helper

One of Jameson's favorite things

Jameson really likes to help fold laundry. I think his favorite place to sleep is among folded clothes on our bed.

Little artist

Kaden has become such a little artist. Here is one of the pieces he did this morning before school. I love it! We call it "the dinning room light switch"

Kaden's 5 year check up

At 5 years and 2 months here are Kaden's stats:

Height: 3'8.5" (73%)
Weight: 47lbs (81.61%)

It's the smallest this big boy has ever been! Might have something to do with the fact that he really doesn't eat! He told Dr Youth he'd try some new things... We'll see. He didn't need any regular shots, but since it was flu shot time, he did have that, much to his dismay. (he needed to be pulled out from under a chair and an extra nurse was called in to help hold him down!

He is adjusting so well to kindergarten and to being a big brother. It's crazy how grown up he seems!

Here are some photos from my phone from Sunday's Maine Marathon Relay

Baby cuteness

Happy baby getting ready for bed

2 months old!

Jameson had his 2 month check up last week and has a clean bill of health.  Here are his stats:
Height- 24.75" (100%)
Weight- 14lbs 4oz (87%)
Head circumference- 16.73" (100%)

He is smiling and cooing like crazy.  He continues to be such a good boy.  He is sleeping for 6 hour stretches most nights, with an occasional 6.5 or 7 hours.  If I could only get him to stay up a little later, he'd be sleeping through the night, but by 7:30 or so he's ready for bed!  He doesn't care much for tummy time, but loves his seat and his swing.  He's been pretty good about taking a bottle for Mark when I've been at work the first couple of days.  Hopefully he keeps that up for his time with his Grandmas & Dolly.  He'll start going to Sarah's house in November, so by then he'll be a pro!

Here are his 2 month photos.  (He was a little more cooperative this month than last month!)

Twins!

The boys are dressed and ready to be Mackinna's cheerleaders at her Maine Marathon Mile today. Check out their "uniform"

Back to School week

I'll try to get detailed accounts from both big kids but for now, here is a little collage photo from Mackinna's first day of second grade on Tuesday and Kaden's first day of kindergarten today!

Pirate fashion

Today Kaden and his buddy Nicholas planned to watch Kaden's new Pirate movie from Grandma Campbell, while wearing their pirate gear.  Kaden said, "I will even wear my pirate earring."  I told him I doubted he'd be able to find it.  He disagreed and replied, "It's in the julia box Mom!"  Turns out it was right- well sort of, it was in the jewelry box in the playroom.

Look who is one month old!

So I'm a little delayed in this post- but not as much as the one about his birth... Jameson is actually 6 weeks old now.  He has started smiling in the last week and is doing some cooing. The big kids are really getting a kick out of that! He's been sleeping up to 5 consecutive hours at night some nights and continues to be a pretty delightful little guy. He has just about outgrown his small G Diapers which say they good up to 14 pounds, so I'm scrambling to get some mediums! In the meantime he's leaking out of smalls left and right or wearing disposables. Here are some of the photos from our 1 month photo shoot with the stickers I ordered from Etsy. He wasn't really super impressed with me doing this on the morning of 8/23- which is evident in some of the pictures- where he's actually screaming.

A day trip

I am sitting nursing a very gassy Jameson while the big kids play with the castle on the floor. I said, "whoa there is a toot factory over here!". To which Mackinna replies with a smile, "Really? Where? That sounds fun, let's go there!"

Jameson at 2 weeks

Jameson had his 2 week check up with Doctor Youth.
Here are his stats:
10 lbs 2 oz- 90%
21.5" (yes according to this he has shrunk since birth)- 87%
Head circumference 14.49"- 76%

He has gained about a pound and a half in a week and a half!  Still not quite up to his brother's birth weight though...
