Feeling a bit nostalgic..

Yesterday was Marissa's 3rd Birthday! I cannot believe my little baby is 3 years old!! Where does the time go???? It makes me want to cry. I can't believe my baby is growing up!! Before we know it she will be graduating High School! Here are some pictures of her from newborn to now!

March 30th 2006 Marissa arrived after 30 hours of labor..yes I said 30 hours..lol

8.14 oz 21.5" big baby!

3 months old

5 months old

9 months old

Her 1st Birthday


Jay was home on R&R

Her 2nd Birthday!

Me and Marissa on her 2nd Birthday

Cool bib huh!

And here we are on her 3rd Birthday!! my baby girl is sooo grown up!

Look at all the presents!

Update!

Sorry everyone, I forgot to convert the measurment of Max's head.. haha 42.5 was in cm.. His head is 16.7 " ...my brain is just not functioning...ugh!

Whoa!

Today was Max's 2 month well-baby visit!
He was so happy and smiling the whole time, he is just a happy baby 24/7.
SO here are his stats:
Head at birth : 14.5" Now 42.5"
Length at birth 20.4" Now 23.6
Weight at birth 8.5oz Now 12.11oz (chunky monkey!)
He also had 3 shots today :( poor little guy, he was not happy, but mommy was there to make it all better!

He takes little cat naps through out the day and is VERY close to sleeping through the night. His last feeding is usually around 10:30 ish...then we go to bed and he usually sleeps 5 to 6 hours So between 3:30 & 4:30am he wakes up for a diaper change and another bottle, then goes back to sleep till about 7ish. It's actually pretty good, I don't even mind the 4am feedings cause he goes right back to sleep after he burps. He is still sleeping in his bassinet in our room , but we are planning on moving him to his crib in a couple weeks, Jay's family is coming to visit for block leave so we don't want to transition him while they are here.
Other than that he is doing great!

On another note, sister Monica is moving back to NC next month. She will be living with me after Jay leaves and she is going to make NC her permanent home. I am really happy and relieved to have her here with me while Jay is gone. I really wasn't to thrilled with the idea of spending another year alone..But I am happy I will have some extra help and some company as well, I am also going back to work full time, yes that means Max will be going in to daycare, it is an amazing place, Marissa goes there and they are just wonderful with her and she learns so much so I know he will be in good hands. It will break my heart to leave him but I also know that me working will keep me sane and will help the time go by quicker.

Well that's all for right now, I don't have any new pictures to share at the moment, but I will soon, so keep checking!

My baby girl is getting so big!

Well at the end of the month Marissa will be 3 years old..it's really hard to believe that my baby girl isn't really a baby anymore..It makes me sad. But at the same time hearing her talk and I am just astonished by the things she says, she is incredibly smart for being only 3. She amazes me every day.

Well the other night we had a girls night and I gave her a "mani/pedi" lol all I did was paint her toe nails and fingernails, she was really good and stayed very still.

Also I posted two more pics of Max, he is 9 weeks old today and is getting chunkier everyday! Gotta love that formula! haha Oh yea and my gorgeous hubby is in one of the pics as well :)

Mommy and daughter matching toesies!

Hands and feet

I told her to stay still so they could dry

So cute!

Hey little toes

She doesn't like to match her outfits like mommy does..we need to work on that. lol

Daddy and Max. My handsome men

He is soo squishy, I just want to eat him up!

Chunky Butt is 2 months old!!

Wow, how fast time fly's! I can't believe thay my little chunky butt is already 2 months old and he is HUGE! Next friday we have is 2 month well baby visit so we'll see how much he weighs...oh ad he is getting another set of shots :( poor munckin.. It kills me when my babies get shots! Anywho here are some more pics of my handsome little studd muffin! And yes Kryste.. that is Liam's Rockstar onezie! :)

He is really starting to smile alot! He loves his mommy!

Oh I am soooo giving him a mohawk when he gets older!!

Big Boy! Look at that double chin!!

Daddy trying to get him to smile

Yes, one of Jay's fav football teams. and my father in law is from Kansas, So Max is representing

Matching socks!

....and more pics..

So last night Marissa helped me give Maxipoo a bath, she was so sweet she had her little stool and stood on it to help me. I wish I had pictures of that but I don't, I kept yelling at daddy to bring the camera and come in to the bathroom, either he didn't hear me or he pretended not to hear me..lol who knows. Anywho, after calling him for the 50th time, he finally came in the bedroom where I was getting Max's PJs on. After that we layed Max on Marissa's bed and she just loved it!

This onezie was just too adorable to not buy.. he is just too cute!

Here are a few more...

Pictures of the kids!!
I have to say, I was really worried whe I brought Max home that Marissa was going to be jealous and feel left out, but she actually has been mommy's little helper and she just absolutly loves her little brother. Evertime he cries she says " Its ok Max, don't cry" or "Don't be sad Max". And the other night she helped me give him a bath..She is such a sweetheart. I just can't believe that my baby is going to be 3 in 3 weeks!!

Well lookie here!

Hey there!


So I've noticed a few of my friends have started their own personal blog, and I always follow them, it's a great way to keep yourself updated on how they are doing.



So I figured with Jay's upcoming deployment, instead of always sending out mass emails to everyone and thier grandmother, it would be much easier to just post things on here so friends and family can stay updated on how things our going in our little world.


In the mean time here are some recent pictures of my beautiful babies for you to oohhh and ahhh over :)

P.S. These are a few pics of Max cracking a smile, he really gives us huge smiles but there is a stud delay on the camera so it's a half smile hehe.
