A "Funner" Gunnar

So with each passing week Gunnar is sweeter and more fun! I love this newborn stage soooo much. He is now cooing and smiling and responding to us and his brothers...we love it. It just melts my heart when he smiles! Jax says all the time "We love our sweet Dunnar, do we momma?" Ronin used to mock my baby talk with a lot of little jibber-jabber, but now he says "Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaby" every time he comes up to Gunnar. I am still breastfeeding. He sometimes gets a bottle of formula during the day if he needs it. But, I am pumping at work so he doesn't always need it. He is a really good baby! His 2-month checkup was Friday, and he was doing great! Weighs almost 11 lbs now. He went with me and Karen to my post-partum checkup and her 35 week checkup. Then we went for pedicures and ate lunch at O'Charley's. He was great, and I had a fun day with my sis!


Here are some catch up pictures: (Get ready for picture overload)











He was so upset (and hungry) that I forgot to go back and take more once the mad face was gone!


Still not happy with me...still at 6 weeks here.
He's lost lots of hair by 7 weeks...and you can see how light it's going to be. He's taking after Jax (and John) with the light hair so far.

Amanda, I can't believe 8 weeks have already gone by!! :(

thanks Corinne!

April, my sister is having a boy on 9/23. She is having a c-section. She was actually planning to get pregnant (unlike me), and I had talked her into waiting a few months. When I got my surprise, I called her and told her we should be pregnant together! We've had fun going to the doctor together.

Moses the Pumpkin

Image
For a school pumpkin parade project, Jax has to come up with a character from a book that he enjoys reading. Then we had to decorate the pumpkin like that character. I made a couple of suggestions (Pete the Cat, Captain Flynn and the Pirate Dinosaurs), which Jax immediately shot down. He picked a book from our bookcase about ghosts of Mississippi which I immediately shot  down. I told him that he must pick a book that he actually reads. About 30 minutes later, Jax walked into the kitchen announced his new selection: "I have picked The Bible, and I want my pumpkin to be Jesus." Well, how do you argue with that request?? However, I could not imagine how in the world we could accomplish such a thing. John and Jax took off to Walmart to look for some Jesus hair. Unfortunately, Walmart was all out of potential Jesus hair. So we asked Jax if there was another character from his Bible that he would like to use. He chose Moses. Thank goodness Jax has a creative and artistic daddy! Th...

Banana Bedhead....

I'm sure that Paul Mitchell would be very interested in this new hairstyle that Jax modeled last night. I've known for quite some time that Jax is pretty smart. Now I think that it's obvious that he will also be very fashion savvy. After eating his entire bowl of Spaghetti-o ravioli, I cut up some bananas for him to eat. By the way, we've mastered this new way of eating...2 forks!! While he's feeding himself with one, I'm getting the other fork loaded up with the next bite. He would get a little stingy and refuse (okay, throw a fit) to hand back the fork. So problem solved = 2 forks!! Anyway, he gets pretty sticky when eating bananas because they obviously don't slide on the fork too well. So he uses his fingers. Naturally, the perfect place to wipe your hands when you don't have a shirt is in your hair. Plus fruit is good for you, so it must be good for your hair. Although he didn't exactly say it, I know that he was thinking of calling this very t...

Jax's 3 1/2 year old birthday party

Image
Yes, we love half birthdays! When you have a birthday too close to Christmas, it is so fun to celebrate a half birthday in the summer. Besides that, Lisa died the day before his birthday. Not an easy time for our family. My mom did this with me too...since I was a December baby..I sometimes had half birthday celebrations instead. Jax was very specific about his requests...he wanted a Rocky party...with Rocky and the Russian fighting on top of the cake. However, there was not enough room for both. Megan Lucius made the cake! I made the cookies...Lightning Bolt cookies..."When you eat lightning..." We had a poster printed up for a game...prizes were awarded based on which person caused the water balloon to break. It started storming in the middle of the party...all the kids came in for ice cream and cake. They watched Toy Story 2.(June 13, 2010)
