2 months old

Christian has hit the two month mark. He is the sweetest baby! We love him so much. Hes starting to smile a lot and cooing a little:). The last two nights he has done a 5 hour stretch , woke up to eat and then 5 hours again.(any of you know the battle im dealing with, knows that is GREAT!!) We had to put him on a formula that is 33$ a can and the cans last about 5 days, SUCKY!!! but we would rather have a happy baby then save the cash. We went to his 2 month check up and he is 11.6 lb and 23 inches long. AND HIS HEAD IS IN THE 65%. kings head was sooo small so its funny to have a baby with a normal size head:) were in love and enjoying every second with our lil CJ... KINGSTON LOVES BEING A BIG BROTHER

I really can't think of much cuz he's just so easy!!!! This month had been a crazy life change but cj has made it easy! He's the sweetest thing ever. Such a blessing to us. If you don believe that kids bring blessings, your crazy!!! Dave and I have noticed after both kids were born our lives were blessed, besides the obvious bundles of joy!!!! He's already so strong. He tries to stand like king did and Tries to rock back and forth during tummy time. We love you christian and cant wait to see you grow!!! We love u

Christmas

Better late than never!!!!
This was my first Christmas away from my parents and I was nervous I was going to have a hard time, but honestly it was so fun to just stay home and spend it with my lil family of 4. I never thought anything could be more fun then waking up on Christmas morning believing Santa knew what I wanted and brought exactly that to my house. Well, I was wrong! I now know there is nothing better than being Santa and watching king believe and seeing his face on Christmas morning and all the presents for him and cj. I think we went a little overboard and he lost interest a little but we had so much fun. I loved every second of that day!!!

Birth story

Monday the 5th of december, my doctor to,d me he would induce me Thursday the 8th. So I tried to get as ready and prepared as possible. I pretty much just stressed myself out and drove my whole family crazy. So Thursday comes around and I wake up at 640to shower and head to the hospital. Our plans for king fell through last minute so Dave stayed home with king until my mom got in town to take over. Walking into the hospital all I could think about was remembering my experience with king and how overwhelming it was. I almost lost it right as I was walking in. I got in got the iv and things started rolling about 9 am. They gave me the epidural and started me at the same time so I never really had it rough!!! However, it did take the dang doc 3 times to stab me in my back to get it right. Judd, my doc came in at 1 to break my water and then said whoever u want to be here u better call them cuz you have 30 minutes... Crazy!!!! I called my mom and she booked it! In that time my epidural wore off and I was feeling contractions so strong I wanted to die!!!!!! 30 minutes later I recharged the epidural and Judd was back in the room and 5 minutes later Christian was here!!! It was like 4-5 pushes. This go around was so much more relaxing and I was able to enjoy the experience. Right as he was coming out the nurse told me to look Down and I saw him come out:) he hardly even cried. He was just so content. Absolutely perfect!!!! Weight in at 7.1 and 19 inches long. He didn't even cry during his bath. He's been just as sweet since he's been home. I loved the entire experience. He's wonderful. King loves him and keeps saying baby baby!!!!! And tries to say cj:) it's so cute!!!! We are so blessed and thankful Christian chose us:)... Enjoy the pics

A good friend of mine was sweet enough to take family/new born pics for us 6 days after Christian was born. Dave told her he would give her 30 minutes( for any of you who know Dave, 30 minutes is pretty good) Sarah, did a great job. She was super organized and ready for her 30 minute challenge. All in all, I'm inlove with my pictures and Dave and I didn't end in a fight;) I would call that a total success
