Also, this blog feels forced now, and my time is short. It's great to have a record of our days, but I'm feeling the need to find something that requires less planning, less time at the computer, and something I can just jot down quickly. I love long stories, but I don't know that this is the space to share them anymore. I'm not sure how I'll document our family life in the future. Right now Instagram is doing a good job of capturing the snippets of daily life, and all of my favorite photos end up there these days. I know I'll want a more extensive record, but I think something more private is in order for that kind of journaling now that Avery is in school. The blog will hang around, since I want to capture all of this in a couple books. If anyone has other ideas on how to document life (that isn't paper scrapbooking), send them my way.Meghannhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16538754119426721386noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37687549.post-46878461618583524522015-07-24T18:24:00.003-06:002015-07-24T18:24:50.346-06:00The First YearHappy Birthday Jack!<br />
<br />
Your first year flew by so fast. One minute I was welcoming you into my arms, and I closed my eyes for but a second, and you are <i>one</i>. I cried on your birthday, mourning the rapidly ending days of your babyhood, but I'm so eager to see who God is shaping you to be. You are funny and charming, and you have a million-dollar smile. You happily play all day long, sometimes on your own, sometimes with your sisters, and though you'll wander off to explore, you are always back near me, checking in, touching, making sure I'm still there.<br />

You are cruising still, and I keep thinking walking is imminent (since I'm writing this more than three months late, you didn't walk until 15 months). You are a "rascal-baby" as Eleanor has dubbed you, into everything. Your favorites are the office to mess with the computer and the pantry, and if you can get your hands in the toilet, it's an extra special day for you.<br />

You have yet to grace us with what I would call good sleep, but you aren't the worst sleeper ever, so I'll survive. You go down for naps very easily, twice a day, and each nap is usually a couple hours long.<br />

Mealtimes are fun, because you aren't a picky eater yet (and hopefully never). You seem to like a lot of seasoning and don't mind spicy foods too much. We had to get you tested for nut allergies before we could introduce anything, and praise God you aren't allergic. We started you on almond milk and almond butter, since these are also safe for Eleanor, and if we get a moment without her around, we'll try out some peanut butter just for fun.<br />

You seem to have sensitive skin, and we are constantly battling eczema on your face (to come over the summer - an elimination diet that seems to prove it isn't dietary, but it did give your skin a break and your face cleared up, with no reaction when the foods were brought back in).<br />

You clap and point and babble and sit back and observe and love bathtime and your sisters and you are just the most fun.<br />

Jack-Jack,<br />
<br />
At 10 months (plus some), you are the biggest mischief-maker ever. You always have something in your mouth that you shouldn't. We are constantly fishing those items out of your mouth, and we've had a couple choking scares. I feel like I need to follow you constantly, and we've taken to putting you in the pack-n-play when we are working or playing outside, or in the walker, just so that you won't eat something. You adore emptying the tupperware and kid dishes out of the bottom cabinets, and banging on the pots and pans in the play kitchen is another favorite past-time. Our phones are fascinating to you, you reset the tv remote and now it won't work, and we've lost a few phone chargers and headphones because you gnawed on them.<br />
<br />
You are now up to seven teeth, which makes your face look so much older.<br />
<br />
You have separation anxiety in the nursery at church.<br />
<br />
You eat anything we put in front of you. Yogurt, fruits, mum-mums, puffs, squash, sweet potatoes, and eggs are some favorites.<br />
<br />
You started pointing last week (that I actually took notice of), and you started clapping two weeks ago.<br />
<br />
You love to play the piano and we often hear a soft tap-tap-tap coming from the piano keys as you stretch on your tip-toes to reach.<br />
<br />
You follow the girls around the house, trying to keep up with their games. They are sweet and try to include you as much as they can, but they are quick and run off a lot.<br />
<br />
You like to move the stools and chairs around, but the felt pads keep falling off the legs, so this is a very noisy activity.<br />
<br />
You like to stand and watch the clothes spin around in the dryer.<br />
<br />
**TMI alert** You discovered your penis in the bath a few weeks ago, smiled, and then promptly pooped in the tub. Since then, every diaper change is a battle with your hands to keep them out of the way, and at one point, I ended up with poop on the floor and poop on me because of your gravitational pull towards that area now. I will never understand boys.<br />
<br />
You are generally sleeping through the night, but you were sick again this month a couple times, so that messed with it. We are trying to get you back to your normal schedule of sleeping til 4 or 5, waking to nurse, and then back down til 7ish.<br />
<br />
<b>And...at 11 months:</b><br />
<br />

<br />
You have 8 teeth.<br />
<br />
You are a bad sleeper again, and a few times this month you have been up and down multiple times at night, with one night where you screamed for hours before finally conking out around 2 am. I was such a prideful mom when Avery was a baby, but now, after you and Eleanor, I understand that some kids just aren't great sleepers.<br />
<br />
You are eating many more finger foods now. You love strips of toast with fruit puree or a teensy bit of jam. Sweet potatoes, bananas, noodles, peas, zucchini, carrots, winter squash, puffs, mum-mums, scrambled eggs, beans of all kinds, pulled pork bbq, broccoli, pears, cooked apples are all things you've fed yourself, plus you scarf yogurt and fruit or oatmeal and fruit. You eat just about anything I put in front of you, but I feel bad because I'm not very inventive. I do experiment with herbs and spices to help expand your palate, but it's usually always on roasted or steamed veggies of some sort.<br />
<br />
You have developed a new cry where you insert some screaming in. This is not my favorite.<br />
<br />
I've been keeping you out of the nursery at church the past few weeks to hopefully avoid more illness. You had your first ear infection and round of antibiotics.<br />
<br />
You nurse 4-5 times a day still.<br />
<br />
You are learning how to use a straw sippy cup, but you mostly just like to chew on it and shake the cup around.<br />
<br />
You are STILL into everything.<br />
<br />
You discovered toilet paper and the toilet.<br />
<br />
Your big skills this month are walking behind a walker or the toy shopping cart! You cruise all over the house pushing those toys. You are definitely motor-oriented like Eleanor, and words are not on your radar at all besides the occasional Mama.<br />
<br />
You consistently wake up happy (unless it's the middle of the night), talking to yourself until we come get you, or until you start yelling because we've ignored you too long.<br />
<br />
When you are tired, you put your thumb in your mouth and tuck your other hand under your chin. This is still my favorite of your mannerisms.<br />
<br />
Bath time always brings a smile to your face, and you like to play with the faucet and use it to pull up on.<br />
<br />
I thought you might like balls or cars, but you tend to ignore those in favor of toys with faces (a stuffed panda bear in particular, plus Little People), and all of the play kitchen toys. You like toys and objects with handles. Magformers are a favorite as well as Lincoln Logs, though you have no idea how they are supposed to work.<br />
<br />
You chew on puzzle pieces anytime you can get your hands on them.<br />
<br />
You gravitate towards my houseplant, so that moved outside and is now dead.<br />
<br />
I cannot get through most nights without having to change your sheets and your clothes in the middle of the night - this might be the cause for all of the night waking, but I'm not sure how to fix this.<br />
<br />
I still love our cloth diapers, but I'm frequently behind on laundry, so you are more often than not in disposable. Your daddy hates the cloth diapers now, so I tend to only use them on home days when he's not around.<br />
<br />
You mimic our silly moves, like shaking our head, playing peek-a-boo, leaning one direction or another, clapping, pointing....<br />
<br />
You LOVE when Daddy gets home from work and race towards him. If he walks past you just to put his keys down or take off his shoes, you start crying instantly.<br />
<br />
You also love when Avery hops in the car after school. She talks to you on the way home and tries to make you laugh.<br />
<br />
In less than a month, we'll be celebrating your big ONE YEAR OLD self. We love you to pieces, Jack-man!<br />
<br />

Found this in the drafts, when I thought it had published. I also have more pictures somewhere.)</span><br />
<span style="color: red;"><br /></span>
Sweet Jack,<br />
These two months have been good to us. Not enough sleep because you seem to enjoy hanging out with me a couple times in the night, every night, but those times are precious to me because when you're done nursing, you lay your soft fuzzy head on my shoulder for a second, and then you pop up to grin at me, pat my face, and give me kisses. So, we cuddle for a minute and then I lay you back in your bed.<br />
<br />
You are finally loving solid foods, and you'll happily eat from a spoon or gnaw on something you're holding yourself. You love pears and bananas, mum-mums and puffs, most other purees, but you aren't a fan of oatmeal. You flap your arms when the mum-mums come out. Cups of water are merely toys still. <br />
<br />
You started crawling shortly after 8 months and then immediately followed with pulling up to your knees and two days later pulling up to standing. You have 6 teeth now, your top two finally cutting through after weeks of swollen gums, and just yesterday your sixth one cut through without any warning. You have a snaggletooth on the bottom, quite noticeable since you are always grinning.<br />
<br />
You are still the easiest and happiest baby I've ever known. You have started to lean over to me so I'll grab you from whomever is holding you at the moment. Your sisters are your biggest fans.<br />
<br />
You started "talking" this week, saying mamama and bababa. You are officially my favorite child, because the girls both said dada first. <br />
<br />
We think you're tops!<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">This hymn spoke to me during my times of deepest despair. I couldn't sit through it at church some Sundays without crying. Sometimes I let the words wash over me, and sometimes I had to flee to the privacy of the bathroom. And while those days are past, this hymn and this word, <i>abide</i>, have stayed with me. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Those who've kept up with our family happenings on the blog over the years will know where this idea of One Little Word comes from. For those who are new, this is my version of resolutions for the new year. The word isn't prophetic; I have no idea what the year will look like. It tends to be more of an intention, something I'd like to embrace or see change in myself over the next twelve months. In years past, the words that I've picked have sometimes fit my year perfectly, and sometimes they haven't. The words tend to come to me in the shower, where all great thinking happens. </span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #484848; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; margin-top: 0rem;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">My true intention for this next year is to delve deeper into prayer. To have a rich, meaningful, life-giving prayer life. I pray all day long, snippets here and there as events occur or thoughts pop into my head while I'm folding laundry and reading books to the littles and cleaning up the gazillionth mess that day. What I'm longing for, though, is to become a woman of prayer. To become one who knows how to pray, one who prays deeply, one who prays humbly, one who prays faithfully. Lord, teach me to abide. </span></div>

<br />
<br />
<br />
1. We welcomed baby Jack into our family! What a joy he is, and we are all so delighted by him - you can't help but smile when Jack's around.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
2. We enjoyed our second year in our new home, knocking out just a couple small DIY projects, like getting the nursery ready. One day we'll tackle the big stuff, like when we aren't paying hospital bills for having babies.<br />
<br />
3. Avery finished up an awesome year of preschool and started kindergarten. We love her new school and will be returning next year.<br />
<br />
4. Luke started a new job; he's still at Dell, but finally out of finance, much to his relief.<br />
<br />
5. We went on our first family camping trip, survived the worst thunderstorm I've seen in a long time (in a tent, naturally), and Luke and I are still married after that epic weekend.<br />
<br />
6. Luke decided a mustache was the way to go. Shortly after the first, he shaved it off, as well as all of his hair. Phew.<br />
<br />
7. Eleanor declared a love for Superman that is deep and abiding.<br />
<br />
8. We have settled into a really nice rhythm at home. Many days are crazy and chaotic and the house is often a mess, but I finally feel settled. It's a good thing.<br />
<br />

Our first Christmas at home, and it was just what we needed. We opened presents and stockings, with Avery playing Santa. She passed out all the gifts before settling down to open her own, which surprised me at first, but really, it lines up with her desire to savor the good things in life.<br />

I spent the entire week before Christmas sewing an Elsa dress for her, even dragging my machine to Houston for our visit with my family. I'd say she loved it.<span id="goog_542989880"></span><span id="goog_542989881"></span><br />

Her one request? A Superman cake. She keeps calling it a Superman Lego cake (because of a library book of Lego Superman characters, naturally). I am NOT a cake decorator, so I cheated and piped the logo onto the top of the cake and called it good. It's much better than last year's cake, which was served up in a bowl because the entire thing collapsed. Gone are the days of Avery's two-tier first birthday cake, when I had time to be all fancy.<br />

The day was simple and in the style of most birthdays around here - dinner of choice (Chick-fil-a), cake and ice cream and presents. Her favorite toy? A Superman that flies. </div>

This girl is such a joy. She tests my patience and has really stretched me as a mom, but she is charming and sweet and funny in a different way than Avery, and I just love her to pieces. </div>

Katie and I were in culinary school together, hit it off, and we've been trading visits back and forth since Luke and I moved back to Austin. We're trying to convince them to move here, so we ate Torchy's, visited Laguna Gloria, took them to see the bats, had donuts at Gourdough's, spent a morning at the lake. All in all, a perfect Austin weekend.<br />

This is always an emotional thing for me, seeing my babies welcomed into the covenant family, being marked as Christ's own forever. We asked Pastor Grooms to perform the baptism, making this three for three (or at least I think so! I can't find ANY pics from Avery's baptism). I love looking at these photos; it's such a sense of deja vu. Same gymanctuary, many familiar faces in the background, but the children keep growing in number and getting older. It's so precious for my mama heart to see this.<br />

I have a handful of friends that have walked through some very rough times in my life with me, and Elisabeth is one of them. She has counseled me, prayed for me and with me, laughed and cried with me. Jack and Virginia are such tangible reminders of God's goodness and merciful kindness in our lives, and the stories behind each of these precious ones is something I will always cherish. I am thankful to be able to walk through life with Elisabeth and her family!</div>

But today, I felt the need to remember Eleanor at this age, 3 years and 2 months old.<br />

Someone asked me a couple weeks ago what the girls were like as babies. Avery was happy like Jack (though he is by far our happiest baby), and Eleanor was, well, like Eleanor is now. Serious. Quiet. Very sweet. She loved to snuggle and she still wants people to hold her.<br />

Since Halloween, she has completely opened up. She's still sporting the serious face when strangers try and talk to her, but when she sees that you're a friend, she talks and talks and talks, and she wants to show you everything. Part of me thinks it was the Superman costume. She felt confident and cool in it, and that has translated into her daily life, even when she isn't wearing it. Sounds silly, but even Luke has noticed the change.<br />

<br />
She will grab onto anyone's hand and pull them over to show them something.<br />
<br />
She changes into pajamas during rest time if she decides she wants a nap that day. Might be the most adorable thing ever.<br />
<br />
She is potty-trained, but regressing. It's frustrating.<br />

She has her favorite outfits - her two Superman shirts, a blue tshirt dress, pants or shorts with snaps. She rarely matches and I'm cool with it. In the summer she wore her yellow flip flops almost every day, and this week it's her Dora shoes (no, Dora isn't actually on them, or else we would not have purchased them). She'll also usually put on whatever I offer, but I'll later find her wearing something else. She changes outfits multiple times a day.<br />

She has worn her Superman costume almost every day since Halloween and asks me 100 times a day if it's clean yet. I'm not quick enough on laundry to suit her.<br />

Daniel Tiger is her favorite show.<br />

She doesn't run away from me in the store, she doesn't ask for things while we're shopping (yet), and she doesn't complain if I tell her we can't get something. I actually thoroughly enjoy shopping with her because she likes to help and is sweet and funny and sings songs to herself while we shop. She DOES throw a fit if I tell her we can't watch a show in the car.<br />

She likes to bring groceries into the house, she has taken it upon herself to empty the lint trap in the dryer, and she puts away the kid dishes with flair (and little complaining). She seems truly happy to help out.<br />
<br />
She is quick to run to Jack if he's upset, unless she's watching a tv show. Her response is then, "SHH. SHH. SHH." And extreme aggravation that she can't hear.<br />

Seven months came and went because it fell on the anniversary of Dave's accident, so these are updates from Jack at 7 months plus 10 days.<br />
<ul>
<li>sitting without assistance</li>
<li>eats his toes all the time</li>
<li>found his voice - can squeal and scream LOUDLY</li>
<li>slept 12+ hours straight a few nights in a row; really hoping he'll go back to his good sleeping days but teething seems to be prohibiting that</li>
<li>got 3 teeth in two weeks, beating the girls by 3 months</li>
<li>still sucks his thumb</li>
<li>laughs all the time</li>
<li>smiles at everybody</li>
<li>started solid foods, but we are slowly easing into it. So far, avocados, bananas, pear, peas, and winter squash</li>
<li>rocking on his knees</li>
<li>army crawling everywhere towards the end of this month - he is officially mobile; I'm finding him in a different room than I left him in</li>
<li>thinks I'm really funny</li>
<li>drools a lot (teething)</li>
<li>doesn't spit up nearly as much as he did a couple months ago</li>
<li>loves the wrap</li>
<li>happily plays in the nursery on Sunday mornings and usually falls asleep for part of it</li>
<li>has fuzzy hair but looks really bald from a distance and in pictures because it is so blond</li>
<li>need to do a photo comparison of Jack to the girls, because he looks SO much like them at this age</li>
<li>loves to chew on your thumbs and fingers - can keep him quiet for twenty minutes with this</li>
<li>likes playing in his Jeep</li>
<li>when he gets grumpy, if you just change the scenery a bit, he's good for another 10-15 minutes - we rotate between floor time, swing, Jeep, rocker, etc.</li>
<li>will go to anybody</li>
<li>sometimes is startled and starts crying, usually when he's not expecting a loud noise or a person to appear</li>
<li>continues to accompany me to the office on Mondays or Tuesdays, and sometimes joins staff meeting, where he sits and plays quietly, usually on the lap of someone else</li>
<li>found him gnawing on a pretzel stick under the kitchen table; I need to be better about sweeping apparently</li>
<li>his top gums are very swollen but those teeth are being stubborn</li>
<li>loves to yank his socks off and chew on them</li>
<li>thinks his squirrel toy and a toy microphone from the girls are the best things to play with, as are packages of wipes, any toy too small for him, and paper</li>
<li>is in 6-9 month clothes, 9 month jammies</li>
<li>didn't do much traveling this month, but we did go see his precious betrothed get baptized last Sunday. We love you sweet Virginia!</li>
<li>handles shots like a champ - a short cry and then he's back to his happy self</li>
<li>dressed up for Halloween, tried to eat his costume, and went to bed before trick-or-treating</li>
<li>adores bathtime. He can be upset and the second you lay him on the bathmat where he can hear the water running, and a grin spreads across his face and kick kick kick go those chubby little legs</li>
</ul>
<div>
This month's photo shoot was so difficult. He's wiggly and kept trying to crawl off the chair, the lighting was terrible so most of my shots were blurry because I couldn't get the settings right on the camera. Next month I might be chasing him down the hall with the bear in tow!</div>

Jack-buddy,<br />
<br />
You turned 5 months old in September, and it became our worst month so far in the health department as a family of 5, so we just hunkered down until it was all over. Not even sure we're there yet, but today feels okay, so I'm going to tell you how awesome you are before someone else gets sick. <span style="color: red;">(Edit - started this post a couple weeks ago. Such is life....)</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I had mastitis at the start of the month (September), probably due to a combination of things, one of which is the fact that you like to pinch and squeeze and hold your milk source like a bottle (oh, the irony), causing a clogged duct that couldn't ever clear. I thought I was dying.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Then we all got colds, except Daddy and (mostly) Eleanor. You poor little thing, coughing and sniffly and feverish.<br />
<br />
After that, you had pink eye, given to you lovingly by your big sister Avery.<br />
<br />
You then decided to return to a cold, while I simultaneously had a virus. In between all of this, Avery had an ear infection, Eleanor got a cold, and now so does Daddy. I give up.<br />

<br />
In spite of all of this, you have been a trooper. You've remained your happy little self and are so blessedly easy-going. I don't take this for granted, and on my very worst of days (which are frequent this week), all I have to do is pick you up and snuggle you for awhile, and I feel better.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I honestly cannot even remember what you did during the month of August, your 5th month, but I'm sure it was lots of smiling and cooing and rolling, trying to get those toys. Avery started school at the end of it, and we haven't had to adjust your schedule too much for naps.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
You've consistently been napping around 8 or 9 am and again by 12:30, and you've added a third short nap back in after we pick Avery up from school.<br />

You are working on getting your knees under you (I'm not ready!) and you love to practice sitting. You have pretty good balance and can correct yourself when you start to topple over, at least some of the time. You dislike the bumbo, probably because of your awesome chub, but you love to sit with the boppy behind you while you try and grab things.<br />

In the past two months, we've celebrated your baptism, traveled to Houston to meet your new cousin Davey, celebrated cousin Miles' baptism, enjoyed a visit with Mr. Ben and Mrs. Katie (who came from NYC to meet you!), played at the "beach", and finished out the girls' summer dance classes. We also went on our first family camping trip, where you slept in the pack n play or next to me and were such a trooper for us messing with your schedule big time.<br />
<br />
You are back up in the night once or twice, which is exhausting. You <i>can</i> sleep 12-13 hours, but you won't. You still seem hungrier than the girls were, so I attribute it to that (plus being sick doesn't help). Hopefully you'll be back to longer stretches soon.<br />
<br />
You don't have stranger anxiety yet, and hopefully you won't. You're happy to play in the nursery and be held by anyone. I'm still your favorite person, so I'm enjoying this for as long as it lasts.<br />
<br />
You have a growing interest in what other people are holding, especially cups. You love to reach for our coffee mugs. You track the path of our forks to our mouths. Solid foods are just around the corner, but I'm not in any rush to start this!<br />
<br />
Your six-month stats:<br />
17 lbs 14 oz (50-75%)<br />
28ish inches (75%) <span style="color: red;">??</span><br />
and a 90th percentile head circumference<br />

But, after the colds left, we've now been hit with pink eye and I feel an ear infection approaching for Avery, and I spend all my spare time doing laundry, so it looks like it's a season of stepping back and focusing on us and getting well.

Avery started kindergarten last week, to which I am only just now writing about thanks to the illness that would never end. Apparently kindergarten also ushered in the world's worst cold to our family. Thank you, School. You're on my list.<br />
<br />
Her school is charming and they get to wear the cutest uniforms, and you'll have to text me to ask where she's going because of Internet safety, y'all, but trust me, we love it, all one week plus one day that she made it. Yes, she missed almost the entire second week of kindergarten thanks to fever. She went on Friday, making it every adult's dream week (minus the cold), because then she hopped right into a fun weekend.<br />

I'm also awesome at school. She wasn't late once. I cooked a hot breakfast every day. I was up before 6. Lunches were packed the night before. Notes were written. (My friend Erin told me how to do it all.) She even got a napkin every day. I rock at kindergarten. And with that, there goes all of my momentum and motivation, and we can coast the rest of the year, right? Her desk is the very last desk by the door, so I'm thinking she could just sneak in and no one would notice. Kidding. That stresses me out even thinking about it. Of course she'll be on time, and it's because Luke is doing drop-off on his way to work. The littles and I do school pick-up in the afternoons, and I'm learning the pick-up line is a true science. Being two minutes later than the day before can mean you're twenty cars further back than you wanted to be.<br />
<br />
I did drop-off the first morning, though, and we all walked her into the gym where they have a morning assembly and line up with their classes. We then walked her to her classroom where we could get her settled in her new desk and stay to listen for storytime. Eleanor decided to join the class for that, and I had to bribe her off the rug with the promise of a snack. I wasn't sad at all until we were sitting in the car and I was telling her how excited I was for her - and then I had to catch myself, check those tears, so that she wouldn't feel like she had to be sad.<br />

<br />
She hopped in the car just beaming that first day. She loved all of it. PE! (Not my kid.) Recess! Reading! No math yet, but she hoped they would do it soon!<br />
<br />
Day two - she climbed in wearily and said, "It's a sleepy day. We had to have recess <i>twice</i>."<br />
<br />
By Friday, she was sobbing into her oatmeal because she was so tired and didn't understand why she had to go back AGAIN. The days are so long, and I really wish Texas did half-day kindergarten.<br />
<br />
Week two started with the Labor Day holiday, and then she spent the next three days home sick. At least she was bummed that she was missing school, so I guess the first week didn't scar her too badly.<br />

Stats:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
16 lbs 1.2 oz (75th percentile)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
26" (75th percentile)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(This makes him only 1/2 lb smaller than his 7 month old cousin Miles.)</div>
<ul>
<li>moved to his crib in his own room</li>
<li>woke up twice a night for almost 3 weeks. I was <i>exhausted.</i> In the past week he's gone to sleeping 12 hours straight pretty consistently. Occasionally he'll wake around 5 or 6 to nurse and will go back down for a few more hours. </li>
<li>usually naps for about 2 hours in the morning, and 3.5-4 hr naps in the afternoon now that he's in his crib. I usually have to wake him in the afternoons so that he will go to bed at a decent hour.</li>
<li>will sometimes fuss for a couple minutes before falling asleep (as opposed to Eleanor, who could scream for an hour if we let her). I can also just lay him down awake and shut the door and he'll drift off on his own. I'm not taking this for granted. </li>
<li>loves to stand on our laps - he's so strong!!</li>
<li>coos and smiles while he's nursing, take frequent breaks to just tell me stories</li>
<li>is in 3-6 month clothes mostly. His 3 month pjs are snug, and some weeks I feel like I'm tossing clothes to the too-small bin on a daily basis.</li>
<li>adores his sisters. Every night at dinner he lays in his little rocker bed next to Avery and stare and smile at her. It's precious. </li>
<li>still refuses the bottle, but we haven't tried very hard to make him take one. I really love nursing, but I'd also really love to go on a date.</li>
<li>my hair has been falling out in handfuls. Because of this, my hair is always in a ponytail.</li>
<li>eats every 3-4 hours during the day, and a little more frequently right before bedtime</li>
<li>loves taking a bath.</li>
<li>likes to be worn and will settle down into a catnap every single time. </li>
<li>dressed like a cow for free Chick-fil-a...he was very popular with the employees</li>
<li>met his great-aunt Jen and great-uncle Dave this month, as well as my cousins, all visiting from Iowa.</li>
<li>rolled onto his side</li>
<li>found his thumb and I frequently find him sucking on it to calm himself or fall asleep</li>
<li>enjoys tummy time for longer periods of time</li>
<li>scoots scoots scoots when he's laying on a blanket or in his crib. For the past week he has done a 180 in bed, facing a different wall than when I put him to sleep.</li>
<li>often gets a foot caught between the crib bars</li>
<li>heard a song he liked when we were picking up some new baby toys for him, so that toy came home with us since it elicited a smile from him.</li>
<li>still starts naps and bedtime in a swaddle but we always find him completely undone. Tonight he went down with one arm free, so we'll see how that works before fully taking the swaddle away.</li>
<li>is the happiest, most smiley baby ever. People always comment on this, and it's such a treat to see him enjoying everything around him.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Avery has been asking for an entire year to do ballet again, and I figured Eleanor would want to as well if big sis was.<br />
<br />
There is just one other girl in Eleanor's class, and there are about 8 little girls in Avery's.<br />
<br />
Avery took right to it, doing all the dance moves and she raves about it all week between classes. Eleanor, on the other hand, tentatively walked into the room and just stood there, arms crossed, for almost the entire class. She eventually followed the teacher around, and she held the props when given to her, but that girl did not wiggle or spin or even smile. Her teacher kindly suggested that we give it another week, and then maybe consider removing her from the class.<br />
<br />

<br />
Week two - same thing. Arms crossed, no smiling. Until halfway through, when she decided to try a couple of the steps, and then, boom! She loved it! Every week brings more excitement and more action from Eleanor, so that now she gives me an unsure look at first before hopping right in and dancing. Maybe it's the confidence that comes from wearing her superman shirt and her superman cape to class? ADORABLE.<br />

Eleanor - don't tell Avery, but I think you have more natural talent at this. You always have been my motor one.<br />

People often ask me how the transition to three kids has gone, if we're getting sleep, do I love it, etc. The answer to those, in order: well enough, no, yes.<br />
<br />
The transition was hard, mind-boggling hard, the first 4-6 weeks. This was due in part to recovering physically, partly to lack of sleep, and partly due to Jack's tummy issues. He needed to be held more than my other babies because he hurt. We had a lot of help from the grandmas which was a huge blessing, but I was missing out on time with my girls because he was so needy. Honestly, I was glad to pass the girls off to Luke or the grandmas and just focus on feeling better and taking care of Jack. Mentally, that was all I could handle. I'm thankful that I was able to do that.<br />
<br />
We turned a corner around 6 weeks, and I felt like a real person again instead of a zombie. We have hard days for sure, but the girls are getting along better, Jack is sleeping well (or was, til this past week), we make it to dance class and Bible study and church every week. We even all get to the grocery store together most weeks, though sometimes I go in the evening by myself - I swear, that's like a vacation. We've spent just about every Friday at the library picking out new books because Avery is reading now.<br />
<br />
I love how Jack has rounded out our family and how he fits in so well. I'm thankful that he's an easy-going baby. It's great to sit back and watch the bond that the three kids are forming, even now when he's still so little.<br />

<br />
Am I thankful that we had a boy this time? Yes, but not because he's the prized prince, the long-awaited <i>son</i>. I would have been just as tickled to have another girl. It's just been fun to see the differences (already) in what a boy brings to our family dynamics. Plus, he's just about the happiest baby ever, so of course I'm delighted.<br />
<br />
What do we struggle with now? Keeping up with <i>laundry</i>. Oh goodness, despite my highly organized laundry sorting system installed before he was born, we simply cannot keep up with it. Clothes EVERYWHERE. The girls change outfits multiple times a day and then end it by running around in just underwear. I can't keep track of what's still clean and what's dirty, and it all usually ends up wadded up on the laundry room floor.<br />
<br />
Potty-training. Oh the <strike>super-glamorous</strike> messy side of parenting. I was going to do a separate post on this, but there isn't much to say. She decided to start all on her own, she rarely has a pee accident and every day has a poop accident. Poop presents are starting to give her the incentive needed to put it in the potty, but it's not a sure thing yet. Glad we have a diaper sprayer - comes in handy for more than just diapers now. I don't even stress when we run errands or are in the car for awhile because she's doing so well with it.<br />

We went out of town two weekends ago, and I'm STILL trying to recover from that trip. But look at these sweet sisters, camping out on the air mattress together instead of on the actual bed.<br />

There is always a balance to strike in being honest and not complaining. The days are long and I dream of being alone and having no one touch me or need me, but I love all of this.<br />

We don't return to the pediatrician until August, but we did go for just a shot this month and they did a quick weight check: 14 lbs 1 oz. Big guy! He's going to need a bigger carseat loooong before the girls did.<br />

At 3 months old, Jack:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>smiles and talks to us all day long</li>
<li>is still eating every 2-3 hours during the day</li>
<li>can sleep 9-10 hours straight at night, but not consistently yet</li>
<li>takes roughly 3 naps a day, if our schedule allows it since we are often running to Bible study or the grocery store or dance class; sometimes he has a short snooze in the evening too as he waits for me to get organized for his bedtime routine</li>
<li>aims for bedtime around 7 pm, but some nights it takes 45 minutes for him to drift off; he wants to nurse to sleep and I don't want him to be dependent on that, but he usually wins at night. It's easier to lay him down awake for naps.</li>
<li>tried a bottle again one night when I went out with a friend. This is only the second time I've left for at most two hours, and he HATES the bottle. He looks at you like you've betrayed him. </li>
<li>met his new friend Virginia in Waco! She's a sweetie, and we all fell in love with her. Virginia is 2 months younger than Jack, and her older sisters are very close in age to both Avery and Eleanor. We drove in for the day, played at the children's museum, had lunch and then enjoyed the sunshine in their yard. </li>
<li>enjoys the swing and very occasionally falls asleep in it</li>
<li>is still in our room at night, mostly because we don't have a baby monitor (update: purchased one and moved him two nights ago)</li>
<li>adores his big sisters and loves when they dote on him</li>
<li>spits up MUCH less than he did a month ago, for which we are very thankful. It appears that all of the issues we had in his first month with breathing, spitting up, projectile vomiting, etc have fully resolved themselves.</li>
<li>went to Dallas for a wedding and was the most perfect baby the entire weekend - this was probably because he was the only child for three days and loved all of the attention we could give him</li>
<li>met his Pappaw for the first time, who had been working in Nigeria and just returned home!</li>
<li>is in a size one diaper, though it's a bit snug (when we use disposables). We try and keep up with the cloth but some weeks we're just too tired or too far behind on regular laundry. </li>
<li>still stares at me all day long, which makes me feel like the most adored mommy ever.</li>
</ul>

We love you to pieces little man!<br />

This is where Dave cleared the ten acres with my brothers, where he planted fruit trees so that he could pick apples and pears with the grandkids, where they were going to have camp every summer, where Avery spent most of her first year of life. It's where she and D-dad would walk the property, she on his shoulders, the dogs following. It was my parents' retreat outside of the city. So many family gatherings were held here, usually on a holiday that required fireworks because there was room and no restrictions. It's just a house, but it's the last house where we knew him and loved him.<br />
<br />
So, in memory, we gathered one last time. Soon enough we'll make memories at the new house, but for awhile, our hearts will reside here.<br />
