4 months old and January

I can't believe it's March already. I am so far behind on the blog. I love having it but it takes so much time when I get behind. I am going to try and get caught up with the last few months really quick! So here's January.

Little miss Nora turned 4 months on January 6th. It was such a fun age that went by way to fast! She is such a good baby and we are so lucky to have her in our family. These are some things I remember about her at that age.

-She would not take a bottle ever.  Both Ava and Dresden were great with a bottle so that was hard to get used to. Although it really was only hard in Utah.

-She didn't like tummy time very much! She still doesn't but is now pretty quick to roll over.

-She is NOT a good sleeper!! She was waking up 2 and 3 times a night and refused to go back unless I fed her.

-She had very bad stranger anxiety. That was hard to go home to family and see her be scared of them. After we got home they even had to come get me from my work out a few times. Her little sad lip was the sweetest thing though. She is a mama's girl for sure!

-She takes a binky great now.

We love this little chubber girl so much! She is such a sweet and happy baby.

My sweet nephew gave Dresden his old Hulk gloves. Dresden was so thrilled and they quickly became the favorite toy! We had Talmage over for a play date and they were so excited to play together again. They were so hilarious playing with the gloves I had to grab my camera. And the the great thing about boys is that they were still friends at the end despite the pretty hard hits they were giving each other!

  

Nora was pretty entertained by them too!

As we were getting ready for school we got a call saying it was going to be a snow day! Ava was so excited and loved that she was going to get to stay with Nora all day. She can be such a good helper too, she took her in her room and read her books while I got ready. And Dresden loves being right by his big sister.

Ava had her friend Tatum over and I thought it was funny that all they wanted to do was play with Nora! They really wanted her to be their living doll! :)

My handsome little guy had his first day of Primary! He was so excited to be with the big kids. A few weeks in he said he wanted to go back to nursery though. Unfortunately for him he left some amazing nursery leaders who had super fun things for them to do and eat every Sunday! But he loves it now and  especially loved giving the scripture a couple weeks ago. He wasn't scared at all and had the biggest smile on his face. When we finished a few of the teachers mentioned how well he did for a sunbeam! I was so proud of him!

These next three are from Utah.

Our last Sunday in Utah and my first picture of me with my THREE kids. Love them!

Spa pedicures with grandma and Sienna

Ava lost her second tooth while we were there! She loves loosing them and was so excited for the Tooth fairy! That darn tooth fairy took an extra day to get there :) but she made it!


On another snow day we spend lots of time painting. When I came into the kitchen I noticed they were hung up with band aids! Ava said we ran out of magnets...silly girl! Dresden also painted a lot which is huge for him.

Wiggle worm managed to almost slide right out of her swing. She is so funny and gets kicking those little legs and arches her way right out. I love her face and how her finger is pointing!

Big girl in her first t-shirt. She looked so grown up!

We went swimming with our friends the Nehrings one day. It was snowing like crazy so it felt weird to be swimming but it was fun and of course the kids loved every second. We came back to our house after for pizza and playing!

We go out to dinner every month someone has a birthday. This was the January birthdays at Lazlo's! Someone actually took a picture this time!

Dresden's first person! He is really getting into drawing. That scribble in the middle is the heart!

Family movie night watching Hotel Transylvania. We love that show! Eric even made us some yummy kettle corn!

The kids always want Nora to have tummy time on their tummies! It's pretty cute.

Flight home

Our flight home was a little crazy. My mom was so sweet to take me and get a gate pass so she could walk me there and help me with the kids. They said they don't normally do that so I was so glad, especially since as I was walking into the airport I got a call on my phone saying the flight was delayed a half hour! So annoying. So we head to security and I get another call saying it's delayed an hour and a half. It's starting to get annoying. So then we get to the gate and find out that it's now delayed 4 hours! What!?!! Thankfully my mom was able to stay with me, I would have been going crazy with the three kids. But seriously that is ridiculous! They gave us food vouchers, after we had already eaten of course. So we used them on cookies for the kids! 

The actual flight was pretty good, the kids did great but were anxious to get home and see daddy! We made sure the potable dvd player was charged and we also had the ipad. I'm so glad we got to go home, we love spending time with family!
