(10) Ronan's Baptism (3/11/18)

(9) Two Months

Even though I'm typing this 11 days late, rest assured the pictures were taken on time.  Ronan is a chunky monkey!  He is 14 lbs and almost fitting in 6 month clothing. 

 He is such a sweet babe!  He has reflux and is doing fantastic now that we have him on zantac.  He is very smiley and interactive.  Tons of eye contact and cooing and gooing.  He likes to be tickled and even gives little laughs. 

 We aren't sleeping though the night, but that's ok.  His first sleep of the night is usually 5-6 hours, like 9pm-3am.  Then back down until 5 or 6.  Not bad and certainly nothing to complain about.  He still sleeps a lot during the day as well, definitely between every feeding, even if it's just a short cat nap.  We're definitely blessed with a great napper, which is much appreciated!

He's just the chubbiest, most kissable, lovable, hunk of joy.  We are so happy he is here!

(8) January Recap

As expected, I haven't been great about posting.  but here some pictures of the rest of our January.

Mitchell got torticollis (neck injury) from taking of his school fleece.  It was the craziest thing.  No he didn't hurt himself playing basketball or sledding, it was just take off his sweatshirt!!!  After going to the doctor and getting a prescription he was back to normal in no time.

It was lucky that we took Mitchell to the doctor for his neck.  After commenting to the doctor about Ronan being fat and wanting to eat all the time, she commented that he might have reflux.  Apparently it feels good to drink.  I had no idea a baby could have reflux and not spit up!  After starting him on zantac the crying has gotten much less. 

Cameron helped mommy make muffins... 

 

 

Cameron loves Ronan sooo much! 

We also took our first trip to Great Wolf Lodge.  It was a really nice stay and we all had a blast.  Cameron even enjoyed swimming and went down water slides even Mitchell wouldn't go down.

So it's January 18th and this is only post #7, but its a heck of a lot better than nothing!  I knew dailies just were not going to happen.  The past week has been pretty busy and Ronan has been extra fussy.  There hasn't been a lot of time for extras like blog posting.  Tonight, though, a situation presented itself that HAD to be documented.  Cameron has historically been found passed out in the funniest positions.  The older he has gotten, the less it has happened.  We all couldn't stop laughing when Maya stumbled across him at the top of the steps.  He earned himself a ticket to an early bedtime tonight for whining and tattling.  Poor guy just needed some sleep...

  

 

 

(6) Birch Box

 Maya has been patiently waiting for her next Birch Box.  She has asked everyday if it came yet.  This month she got shampoo, conditioner, sunscreen, face wash, and eye shadow.

 This one is just for fun...

(5) "Snow" Day

(4) One Month

This precious gift is one month old today.  His strengths include snuggling, eating, and fighting sleep.  He still sleeps a lot, even though falling asleep is often a struggle.  Daytime naps are usually longer than he stays asleep at night.  He loves music and often calms down when his brothers and sister sing to him.  I think he is partial to Cameron's singing, but aren't we all?  Cameron likes to call him Ronie-Bonie, which is pretty cute.  We are all pretty adjusted to our new normal.  Life is good.
