Park with Wanka

Today was such a nice day and my mom had the day off work so we decided to meet her at Centennial park in Garner! We asked the girls to pose for some pictures and this is what we ended up with...

Lizzy did not want Wanka holding her up, she wanted to do it herself!


Emma is such a goofball, just like her Daddy! I always try to snap pictures of the kids in action so it doesn't look too posey, but she always manages to catch me!

Anna is a silly girl...

She wasn't feeling well, but managed to show us her cute smile!!!

Lizzy didn't want me to take her picture, probably because she wasn't feeling well either, but I snapped a few!

Jack slept the entire time...

New fav & another great deal

This is Jack's new favorite thing...

when we went to put new batteries in our swing we realized we left the batteries in from Lizzy (2 years ago) and they were corroded and ruined the swing! Since Jack will be our last, I started looking for smaller/travel swings, but the ones I found were pricey for only about a years worth of use! I decided to look on Craigslist for a swing and this is the one we ended up with, I paid only $30! I secretly wanted this "fancy" swing since Lizzy was born but couldn't justify spending $110 on a swing! The swing was in excellent shape and was only missing a small hanging toy on the mobile! Jack loves the swing and I love my great deal!

Here he is at 5 weeks!

Here are a few of his favorite activities:

Blank Stare

Sleeping Chelaxing

Alone Time

You didn't think I meant just Jody and I did you? We have 4 kids now!!! Just kidding, my parents took Emma & Anna last night to spend the night so we had just Lizzy & Jack! It was a great day and Lizzy got some much needed alone time with Mommy & Daddy! We decided to take her out to lunch, her choice, which she of course said "McDows" (McDonalds)! She got a Happy Meal with a puppy toy and was a happy camper the rest of the afternoon! Here's a picture to remember this special trip!!!

1 month old

Jack went for his 1 month check-up today. He weighed in at 8lb 130z and was 20 3/4 in long! 25% all around and is "proportioned well". We did discover he has reflux too. Emma spit up (projectile) a lot until she was about a year old, when she started walking is really when it went away completely. She had a "constant bib" on and we changed it a couple times a day, but it never seemed to bother her all that much. Jack on the other hand is different. He spits up almost every time he eats and it comes out his nose. He also grunts and makes a lot of noise, especially after he eats and when we lay him flat. We also noticed he cries after he spits up too. We mentioned his symptoms and his pediatrician was able to see first hand what we were talking about in the office, since Jack had eaten about 1 1/2 hours before we went. They have put him on zantac to see if it will help! We did buy a wedge for his bassinett yesterday too, hopefully the combination will allow him to sleep better at night!! ! We're happy we finally have a gainer...it took a BOY!!!

Saturday we had a small birthday party for Emma and a couple of her friends. I made a slide show because there were so many pictures! Beware, Emma picked out the music!!!
