Rollover

That is right...... Little man has officially rolled over. This afternoon he fell asleep in his car seat. I of course tried to gently get him inside and execute the perfect transfer. I failed and he began to cry. I thought he was really tired so I let me cry for a few minutes. When I could tell he was not going to calm himself down and go back to sleep, I walked back in and sure enough he was looking right at me. He started laughing. Such a cutie!!

Sleeping Not so much....

Well my little Kiernan was a champ last night. He went down at 7 and woke up at 3 for a feeding. Awesome..... But when I got back to my bed I could not fall asleep. I tried everything. I had such anxiety and had my to do list rolling in my head. I wanted to make sure that I take care of work stuff in the morning. KK will be at school so I can get everything done!! Problem was I couldn't turn it off and go to sleep. I am also going on an ACTS retreat and I am giving a talk so I had that playing through my head as well. Thinking of all the things that I needed to get ready for that weekend. Making sure I leave enough milk for my baby. He has been a big eater lately. Then I was thinking about the baptism and that I hope everything goes well. I hope the boys will get to come. I was thinking about Halloween and that I haven't even tried on KK's outfit. I thought about the pile of laundry that is getting higher and higher. Plus we had company this weekend so I thought about the huge pile of dishes that need washing. I thought about if my boys love me. And if my husband thinks I am a good wife.

All these thoughts randomly piled in my head and the end result.... I NEVER went back to sleep. Bill's alarm went off at 6:30am and I told him go back to sleep, I'll get Gavin to school because I am up already. Finally heard Kiernan at 7. What an awesome night of sleep. Too bad his mommy didn't sleep like that. I have found since he has started sleeping in his crib that I really have to wake up to go to the opposite side of the house to get him. Then I sit there for 15 minutes and by the time he is ready to transfer back down I am ready to go. Guess I'll try again tonight.

Doctor Visits Galore

Kiernan had his 4 month old check up this week. Life has started to get a little easier these days. I feel like I am getting a hold of this mommy thing. Kiernan has been extremely happy lately and sleeping pretty good. He started on rice cereal and seems to gobble it down.
Height: 24.5 31%
Weight: 14.8 58%
Head: 41.5 28%

Doctor said he looked great. I can really tell he is putting some pounds on him. He is talking all the time and really is alert at what is going on. He is putting his butt in the air so I am thinking he will be rolling over soon.

Then Thursday morning, we get a call and Gavin is sick. He comes to our house and seems to be playing and doing fine. I keep asking if he thinks he needs to go see the doctor and finally he tells me he does. I make an appointment and they say to come right away. We get there and wait. and wait. and wait. We wait in the lobby.... and then in the room. Both boys became extremely irritable and started fussing. Yes both boys. I had KK in my left arm and Gavin in my right. Gavin started crying and wanted to leave. I finally convinced him to fall asleep and she would come.
KK passed out in the doctors office and Gavin finally falls asleep on the table.

Finally some quiet time to myself when in walks the doctor. A quick test and sure enough... STREP!!! Off to wait at CVS for the prescription. I mean really will this day ever end. Finally got them home and they both took long naps. Gavin took his meds and is already feeling better. I love antibiotics.

4 Months Old

Well tons of pictures but never could get the exact perfect shot on Saturday, his 4 month old birthday so I will share some I took during his 4th month of life. He is such a ham. I just love him.

He is talking all the time. He seems to be getting a little less fussy these days.

I took him to get professional pictures Sunday and they turned out amazing. The lady really was patient and got some cute ones. Kiernan slept in his crib last night for the first time. He did pretty good. He went down at 7:00pm and woke up at 12:00am, 5:15am, and 7:00am. Pretty good for his first time. He also started day care today. He is going on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays. I feel like I can be back in the adult world again.

Gavin's playing Soccer

Gavin started his soccer career. We put him on the same team as tee ball. He seems to like it. Since it is CYO they must pray before their game. Gavin bowing his head.

Ready for kick off.... We did find out through this that Gavin is the fastest kid on the team. He isn't really interested in getting the ball but will be the first to chase it.

And of course... Gavin's #1 fan ready to cheer him on.

KK likes the morning games much better than the afternoon games. But he is very serious about cheering for his brother.
