Hollis Timothy is 2 months!

Can't believe just two months ago I was begging for a csection:)! Hollister has made up for his LONG DIFFICULT labor, he is such an angel baby! So very very sweet! He loves to be held and cuddled and sang to and talked to and nursed a lot! He is rolling over to his back. He is spending a bit of time in his bumbo seat. His favorite toy is his activity gym! He lays under it for about 30 min.! Evergrace gets super interested in it as soon as H gets on it:)! The older kids love to hold him and help with him it is so sweet! EJ & G have showed zero jealously! E is great as long as she isn't tired, she gets a bit pinchy when she is sleepy. Hollis smiles and coo's a ton! LOVE IT! He nurses a ton, I honestly have no clue how many times a day or night:). He sleeps with me. He nurses so much its just easier. I have a ton of pumped breastmilk and give him a bottle every two days or so. It is such a relief to have a baby who will take one! We had his check up and he got shots. We have decided to vaccinate on the Dr. Sears schedule. He did not do well with them. So sad. He was so fussy the first day, the next day he just slept. I am thinking about delaying them all together until he is older.

Hollis has made up for his slow start for sure! He is weighing 14.15 lbs and is 261/2 in long! He is in 6 month clothes but some of those are too short. We haven't really settled on a name for sure. He gets called Hollis, Hollister, Hollis Timothy, and Baby:). I had a bit of name remorse, I really love his name but not sure what to call him. I am hoping it will work its self out:)!

We are enjoying this perfect addition to our family of 6!

Easter 2011!

We had a wonderful Easter! The kids and I, Josh had to work all day, went to church with NeNa. We then went over to Aunt MiMi's house to eat lunch and hunt eggs! We invited a family who moved here from Mena and the kids were so excited they came! Easter and Thanksgiving our my top two favorite holidays! So thankful for a risen Savior!

EJ singing in the chior! She did awesome and loved every second of it:)!

E hunting egss! She caught on quick:)!

My handsome Boys!

Seriously! How beautiful are these kids?!?!

My oldest & my youngest! LOVE LOVE LOVE Emery Jai's RED hair!!

The Dragon feeling like a big girl holding baby brother!

Hollis is 6 weeks & some change:)!

The biggest change over the last 6 weeks is Hollis' size! He is now weighing over 13 lbs! He is a chunk! We are packing up all his 0-3 month clothing. He is regularly cooing and smiling up a storm. H is an absolute doll baby! So handsome and just super sweet. He doesn't have a fussy time or crying spells. It is hard to fuss & cry with a boob in your mouth at all times:)! He is exclusively fed breast milk. I still pump and he occasionally takes a bottle and will down 4 ounces. H is very close to rolling over, he can roll to his sides but can't make it over his chubby belly. He can bare weight on his legs for several seconds. He has great head control. He is sleeping like a baby:). Some nights are better than others:)! He loves riding around in the moby wrap. The biggest news it we had his ACH appointment and his test results are normal! Praise God! Saying we are thankful falls incredibly short.

oh, i forgot...

*If you ask E who's girl she is she answers POP! She LOVES her Pop! *EJ wanted Josh to go outside and push her on the swings. He was said "Ok, let me recoup and I'll be out in a bit" EJ replied "Ok, when you get done pooping come on out!" *The kids are missing Mena very much. They are really loving living so close to Pop & NeNa.

All about the kiddos...

I was looking back over my blog and I realized how much more I use to write about the kids. I recorded things they said, what did all day on any random day, and other details. I am not sure why I stopped, I guess I just got out of the habit. This is, after all, our family scrapbook:). So back by popular demand (demanded by yours truly:)) my super popular bullet style posting about my incredible kiddos:)! *Emery Jai is preforming in NeNa's churches Easter program and she is beyond excited about it. She is our performer and in her words "Can't wait to get on stage!" She is our performer, come to think of it I do not think any of our kids have a shy bone in their body! *Guice wants a real elephant for his birthday. His Christmas list includes all kinds of livestock. *EJ, G, & E could not be more in love with H! Can I hold him is a constant question in our home. Everyone loves to pick out his clothes or run and get him a diaper or shove his bink in his mouth. *E is talking up a storm. She says a ton of words regularly and will mimic any word or phrase. She is talking mostly broken sentences but will on occasion get a complete one in. *G can often be unpredictable and extreme in his behavior. We are working on it. He is impossible to reason with if he is sleepy or sugared up or in a mood. *E is our dragon. The terrible twos have arrived, I am not sure they ever really left. *E has an very strong opinion on everything you can possibly imagine. *EJ is a huge help she is willing to do almost anything I ask. EJ is generally very well behaved, generally:). *E wants to stay in G's class at church. She says it is her class and she isn't a baby. E has no clue she is only 21 months. EJ & G are best buds who would kill each other if given half a chance. When they play well they play really good but when they don't they REALLY don't. *G is picky about his clothes. He only wants to wear shirts with motorcycles, four wheelers, or spiderman on them. He refuses to wear pants with buttons or zippers in his words they freak him out. *EJ is so close to reading! She loves to learn! *E is not potty trained although she will go potty at anytime. I am going to do that very soon. *G loves to tell us all about his dreams in great detail.

Sewing!

Well technically not sewing YET, more getting ready to learn to sew. Not nearly as catchy or exciting title however! This is my sewing nook. We are bursting at the seems in this house, space is at a premium. I would rather have a sewing and crafting (no, I don't craft YET:)) room, now that I think of it there are a lot of rooms I would like to have. We are making due with what we have or in this case what we don't have. Back on topic...I asked Mom for a sewing machine for Christmas. This is a sewing and a embroidery machine! I am so excited to learn to use it. My primary motivation is sewing dresses for Emery Jai. It is extremely difficult to find sweet little girl dresses. EJ wears a size 8 or 10 depending on the cut, apparently she has crossed over to hooker clothes. It is super hard to find appropriate clothing! I could rant about this forever. I am ready to start sewing...now I just have to find time:)!

Boo is in desperate need of ....

Bigger pajamas:)!
