Laz 2 months

 

Just a quick recap on month 2
You started to smile. And love to lay on your belly.
You started to take long naps in your bed (like you are doing right now)
You love to watch your siblings and play - The rock n play is probably your favorite
You were chubby and had a big head at your checkup
You eat pretty much every three hours and get faster and faster.
You have a pretty big umbilical hernia which we hope will go away on its own til then it will just make people wonder what the heck it is.
You sleep long stretches getting up once or twice a night. You are a great baby!
You are a happy spitter and you love to be wrapped and carried!

Hopefully I'll catch up on these so that I remember better what you are doing!

At the Farm

8 out the 11 of my dad's grands

We are so lucky! My kids know 5 out of their 8 grans! Those grans love them with everything and love them so so well. We got to hang out for the morning with my sis and her three and my grandma  and grandpa before leaving my big three and k's oldest with them for the night!

We explored the farm - talked to the horses, cattle and sheep. We had a blast and so did our kiddos. So so thankful they pour into them and that they get to be loved on by so many!

These two could be farm boys! They had a blast on the four wheeler and just a pile of rocks!

z turns 2

Got to celebrate this little guy turning 2. Z is officially no longer the baby of the family and he is growing up! He is full of expressions and definitely a charmer. He keeps talking more and more each day! He loves Paw Patrol and we literally watch nothing else. Thankfully no one else really complains about that! He is starting to hold his own with Sage so that makes for some interesting days! He loves his blankets. Typically carrys about 10 around. And he will claim any random ones as well. Yet he knows exactly which blankets are laz's. Cracks me up. He can throw a pretty good fit. He is dare devil, typically standing and jumping from furniture. He will move around stools to get to just about everything. He spends a good amount of time in the pantry, sneaking snacks and telling me "i hunnngre"! He is a ham and just a fun little guy to be around most of the time! We love you Zz!

This is our attempt at a family pic - Telling the world the z is two!

Shadd & Z's Olympic Party

 This year we combined birthdays - amazing idea really. Lots less stress and planning on this momma's part and well i think my parties have gotten a lot more low key. Cute cakes by my mother in law and just playing with our cousins and aunts and uncles and grandmas and papas and great grans too. We are so fortunate to have everyone (like all of them) close by to celebrate with us! Its just a blast.

We did have a couple contests, you know olympics party! A shooting contest, some golf and my personal favorite which i got no photos of (big bummer) was the dash.  They ran young and old from the end of the street up to my garage. It was hilarious. Like something I never ever want to forget. My sister hands little m to someone and heads out. And she sprinted like it was really a race. Oh I tell you what - funniest thing ever. She is so competitive and I have experienced this first hand participating in a race with her. No fun runs with that girl!  So so much love K!

But really it was just an awesome day!

And of course, dj d was providing great tunes for a big dance party and fire!
