OMG...It's Been How Long...?

Ok...so I didn't really stick to my goal of keeping my blog updated. :) I tried, but life has been so crazy the last couple of months that I let some things go. Now to the update...I absolutely LOVE being at home with my little guy. He changes and grows so much each day. It is amazing to watch. He can almost sit up by himself now. He quite frequently topples over because he is trying to get to his feet, which he is mesmerized by. He gets frustrated with his tummy time because he tries to get going somewhere but can't quite get anywhere. He can move a full 360 if he kicks enough. He likes to chew on his hands and he tries to fit the whole thing in his mouth. Then he will gag until I remove the hand and then give me one of his full face smiles. His eyes are a beautiful color of blue (still!) and he is developing two sets of dimples. He is such a loving, funny, wonderful baby!

He loves to eat his hands. He can almost fit the whole thing in his mouth!

Finally a First Grader!

Skyler is now a big first grader! She made it through Kindergarten with flying colors. She really enjoyed her first year of school, but she is ready for the "big kid" playground. She starts August 10th. Unfortunately we won't be on the same schedule this year, but I will be able to take her to her first day of school.

Almost Two Months!

Travis will be exactly 8 weeks old this Thursday! I cannot believe how big he is getting. I am so lucky to be home with him and watch him grow and develop. He has been talking more each day and he is making new sounds. He is so alert and spends a great deal of the day awake and looking around. I love talking to him and watching him smile! He keeps me sooo busy, I haven't been able to post in a while. Here are some of the newest pictures that Albert and I have taken.

Soccer Star

Skyler has been playing soccer for a few weeks now. She is on a team called the Sparkles. :) She isn't fully into it, but she likes being with her friends. She usually stands around on the field and once in a while she will try to kick the ball if it comes near her. We go and cheer her on every Saturday!

One Month

Travis is now one month old! He is filling out and getting bigger each day. He is learning how to drink from a bottle now because I will be returning to work soon. :( Skyler is becoming a very helpful big sister; she holds him more and talks to him. Hopefully this coming weekend we will be able to get his pictures taken.

Update: His eyes are still bright blue!!

Three Weeks Old

Travis is now three weeks old. He had his 3 week check up and we found out that he grew half an inch and he now weighs 9lbs 8 oz. He eats like crazy so the weight gain doesn't surprise me. He spends much more time awake and alert now. He will hang out for quite a while just looking around at different things. He has also started making cute little sounds and smiling more. Luckily, I was able to get some pictures with his eyes open. His eyes are still bright blue, I am hoping that they will stay that way. We'll see!

Skyler's Birthday

Skyler is now 6 years old! Her actual birthday was on March 11th. She was with her other mom this year, so she had a birthday party with her where she invited some of her friends. She was with Albert and I the next day so we had a simple little party with our families. She had a great time playing with her cousins and everyone was excited to spend time with Travis.
