Point Mallard

Jesse has been wanting to go to see a NPSL soccer game for a while, so when I won free tickets to see Rocket City United in Huntsville off Facebook, we decided to make a day of it. I grew up going to Point waterpark as a child, so we decided to take the kids. Monday-Thursday is half price admission, so it worked out perfectly! The kids loved it and the weather was so beautiful. After a fun day at the park, we headed to the soccer game. The two teams tied and Nonnie even enjoyed her first soccer game! Great day!

  

Super fun weekend

This weekend was so fun. We went to see Monsters University as a family..even baby Rob came! His first movie! He was so good. The movie was super cute! Sunday, we had a family reunion and then we went to Reagan's 3Rd Birthday. It was a Tinkerbell theme and their was a face painting guy. Even the mommas got ours painted! What a fun weekend!

This week in pictures...

I love living near my grandparents, yesterday Caroline went to Nannie and Papa's house and came home with some walnuts. She was so excited!

 

We have attended multiple Library events, including a puppet show and a garden theme preschool program.  

We planted our own plants... 

We took a bottle from big brother and big sister 

Will has waited 5 long weeks to feed his baby brother. 

Sweet baby Rob! 

We have swam at the Rec center and wore ourselves out! 

Big Sister gave her little brother the bottle! 

Will and his plant at the Library program. 

We have played dress up on rainy days... 

  

Sweet sister is such a big help! 

Pool day with friends

Today we met one of our buddies at the pool for an impromptu pool day! Our friend, Audrey's little brother, Kellan is 9 days younger than Rob. Andrea and I were pregnant the whole time together and we were so excited they were both boys! They are going to be fast friends! We had such a fun day swimming and playing with friends.

Rob: One Month

 

ONE MONTH

 

Our baby Rob is One Month! HOW DID THAT HAPPEN???

 

Weight:

Rob weighed 7 lbs 15 oz at his two week appointment. He had to go back at three weeks and he was 9 lbs 6 oz! Whoa! He is a big boy!

 

Medical Issues:

Sweet boy has struggled with reflux. We started out with a modification to my diet, by eliminating dairy. That has been helpful, but the Dr. has also given us Zantac and we are hoping that will help! He does not actually vomit, Dr. Brooks called it "silent reflux", but it has been miserable for the little guy nonetheless!

 

Sleep:

Ha...this should be titled Lack of Sleep! Little man wakes every two- three hours and until we received the Zantac and I eliminated dairy, he wasn't just waking...he was screaming! We are seeing improvement and he sleeps a little bit more often. I don't mind though...he is just too precious to get mad at!

 

Clothes:

Mostly Newborn. Some of Will's three month sleepers that have been washed many times fit too! He wears a size Newborn diaper, but they are getting super snug! Momma is just trying to make sure we use them all up!

 

Diet: 

Exclusively Breastmilk

He took his first bottle at almost three weeks and he receives a bottle about once every other day! He takes it like a champ! The type is a Tommee Tippee.

 

Nicknames:

You have lots...we call you Rob, as your official nickname. Dad calls you Bobby Alison, Sissy calls you Robbie, and Will calls you Bobert. I call you Baby boy.

 

 

 Baby Gear:

You love your bouncy seat. It vibrates and Nonnie calls it your trampoline! You kind of like the swing. You are not totally impressed with it though. You sleep in your Rock and Play and you really seem to like it!

 

 

Crying:

You do your fair share. You have tummy trouble though and I try to blame it on that. You don't really cry loud, so that is the only saving grace!!!

 

 

Likes:

You love your Wubbanub pacie. You have a teddy bear and a frog. You like to be held. What baby doesn't, and Mommy is happy to hold you! You love to be talked too and you love your siblings!

 

Milestones: 

You are beginning to track objects. You still have your Moro reflex. You are starting to bobble your little head. You are the King of Tooting and Burping!

 

YOU HAVE STOLEN OUR HEARTS. You have become such a part of our life in four short weeks. We can not imagine life without you. You were a part, we never knew was missing and we are so thankful for you!

 

Library fun

Our library has a Summer program and we try to attended every year. This year we  could only go to two events, the first was a puppet show and the second was a gardening theme. It has been so nice to do things with the big kids since Rob's arrival and they love it too!
