Happy 3 month birthday Rhoslyn!

Our little girl has already hit 3 months old!  Where has the time gone?!  Seems like it was just yesterday when we were in the hospital having her.

Here's a little bit about what our little princess has been up to....

-Smiles and Coo's at anyone who will talk to her
-Loves to be talked to
-Has started to get scared easily by loud noises and will scream and cry
-Loves to play on her playmat and bat at toys
-Still drinks 4 oz. every three hours
-Sleeps through the night

It's a bit sad to see how much she has grown already, but it is also exciting.  Before we know it she will be rolling over and eating baby food. 

Our little Princess!

Okay, Seriously... can she get any cuter?! 

Happy Halloween!

We started our day out with frosting and decorating cookies. Check out Alex's hands! The first cookie I gave him to decorate he decided to start eating after putting a few sprinkles on. Then I gave him another cookie and he wanted to eat that one too. I told him he could only have one. He would take a bite, then put a few more sprinkles on and take another bite. It was fun to see how messy he was in the end.

We pumped him up about trick or treating and made our way to Grandma's after his nap. He was a little iffy with some of the houses. He definately didn't care for skulls or people with masks on. He was also very particular that he wanted to put the candy in his bucket. If someone did, he pulled it out and put it in himself. (He is too much like his mother)

After every house he said, "I want to do more trick or treating!" He had so much fun! We made our way around Amherst and then headed back home. Of course he wasn't done. Billy took him down a few roads by us and within a half hour he had the same amount of candy that he got from trick or treating for over an hour in Amherst. At this point everyone just wanted to get rid of what they had.

This morning he told me he wanted to go again, so I had to explain to him that we only trick or treat once a year. He enjoyed his first bag of skittles... and boy did he like them!

Famous Quotes by Mr. Alex

"Daddy, you do me a favor."

"It was simply a combine."

"Mom, check out that.... (tractor, truck, car, etc)!"

"It's up to you, it doesn't matter."

Billy: "Alex your so smart, where did you get your smarts from?" Alex: "From Target."

"Just one show!"

"Don't do that!" (As he points......)

"What do you think of that....?"

What a week!

We had quite a busy week... I think just about everyday we had something going on! Rhoslyn was in for an upper GI on Wednesday for her reflux. Everything looks good (in the terms of nothing being wrong internally) but we are trying a new medication for the reflux. It has only been a few days but it seems to be doing the trick!

This was such a long day for us. She couldn't eat anything after midnight and didn't have her procedure done until almost 10 in the morning! Alex also had an appt. in the afternoon... lucky for us, Alex was able to play with his friend Jace for most of the day. We even went over to Jace's house for dinner and cake for his birthday on Thursday. How exactly do you explain to a two year old that the presents are not for them?! Needless to say we left with Alex screaming and crying! Thank you Alexander family for a wonderful night and some amazing food!!

Billy was wonderful enough to let me have an entire afternoon and evening to myself. I got my hair done at noon on Saturday and headed to Appleton for some much needed alone time. What a wonderful husband I have! (THANKS HUN!)

I also got another "Cool Mom" moment by filling up a tub with dried beans for Alex to play with!

(And yes, he is wearing his snow boots with a diaper on!)

Oatmeal fun!

This is what Alex did this afternoon in the kitchen....


A construction site made out of OATMEAL! He thought this was the coolest idea mom has ever come up with!
I am not kidding when I say that he played in the kitchen with this oatmeal for HOURS!

The oatmeal of course ended up on the floor and then he thought it was a great idea to play with the trucks and tractors on the floor too!
