5 months

What!!?!

Lawrence you must have grown when my back was turned. It does not feel like its been that long since you joined our little family.

I love you so much!

I can honestly say that I feel like you have been so easy on me, this has been the most fun!

You are 5 months today. you are outgrowing your 3-6 month clothing your wearing a lot of 6, and 6-9 month clothing (mommy just doesn't want to put away the 3-6 yet). The 6-9 pj's are a bit short for you, you seem to have long legs kiddo. You are starting to scoot yourself around. You eat solids- so far just pea's and rice cereal. You have the best smile. No teeth yet, close to sitting up but not quite yet. You love to play with toys, you love to be read too. You are pretty good at falling asleep in your crib.

Currently you have a cold :( but you are being a sweetheart about it.

Love ya big boy!

First Food!

Tonight was the night that we fed Lawrence his first solid food! He loved it :)

Weird tittle? The picture explains.

And we are one payment away from paying off Lawrence. 

Lawrence -4 months

Lawrence, you grew again buddy!

We took him in for a concern I had about him but then went in 2 weeks later for his 4 month appointment.

Updates- development seems to be going wonderfully. He is VERY social and can roll over hold his head and grab things.

 Concerns: Eczema on the back of his things (not so great in one so little), and possible concern over constipation-but to be honest the doctor doesn't seem very worried about it, it's just a mom worry I guess. ha ha. Spitting up more then my kids usually do.

I am trying to cut out dairy as much as possible to see if that helps with his gas and eczema

Okay the fun Stuff. 

Weight: 16.3 (65%)

Blessing

Lawrence was blessed on Sunday by his father. So many loved ones. 

I always write in a journal for my boys immediately following the blessing. He will have it to read when i give him the journal when he is older.

Lawrence you are a gem and we and so many others love you to bits!

We had a brunch at my parents afterwards, It was also the day of Josephs farewell talk- he did a wonderful job.

Blessing Lawrence

He was Blessed on Sunday. It was beautiful, the whole day was lovely.

I wrote in my journal right after the blessing, as I have done for all my children.

I am so thankful to the Lord for my family.

Lawrence

Sweetie you are growing so fast, too fast really. I am just soaking you all in.

at 2 weeks you outgrew newborn size clothes and diapers

at your 2 week appointment you weighed 10.3 pounds

we love you.

Lawrence you are getting chunky (in a good way). you had your one month and weigh 11.5. You are still a little jaundice so we had to get your foot poked again to test bilirubin levels. Sorry babe.

Had your 2 month appointment on Monday, and buddy your doing so well! weight: 13.96 lbs (87th percentile) , Height: 25.375 in (99.89th percentile) wow!!!, head circ: 15.75 in.  Your jaundice is cleared up, your umbilical hernia is healing and your on track developmentally. 

You received your first vaccines, how we dislike those shoots! Basically your really thriving!

 love and hugs.

One week Old

Our baby is already a week old! How did that happen?! We love him to bits. He is a sweet baby he hardly ever cries (so far, knock on wood). I have been writing all about him in my Journal. His brothers love him. Mostly he loves mamma ;) His daddy is the master burped and he loves to be held and cuddled.
Sorry for the picture overload but I cant help myself! These are at 5 days and the last ones at exactltly one week (down the the min! )

He is very likely to be our last baby so I am really just trying to enjoy every possible second. I have decided to basically set aside the summer to enjoy. With Eli starting Kindergarten in the fall, Kayden turning 4 (which seems so grown up) and the early baby months going so fast I am going to focus on the kids, the house might get messy but I am just going to be patient with myself. Especially with my postpartum body.
