4 Month Check-Up

Sawyer had his 4 month check on the 21st. He did so good. Weighed in at 16.2 lbs and is 25 1/2 inches long. Jarrett was 16.11 lbs at this exact age. I thought Saw was bigger, but apparently not!

Doctor K says Saywer is right on track developmentally. He is a little lazy in the rolling over department, but so was his brother. We have to keep him on the liquid gold until he is 6 months and then we can "try" another formula. Doc says we will know within a couple bottles if he is ready for the change or not. We can also try and quit the Zantac on a month to month basis. We are almost due for a refill so I took him off of it for a day...didn't work out so well. We will go another month and try again.

He was so brave for his shots. The best shot taker by far. He smiled through the first shot, the second must of stung cause he cried a little bit. He was done as soon as I picked him up.

Doc also said we can start cereal. I had already tried a couple of times, but Mr. Saw was very uninterested. I tried again on Monday and he slaughtered it without even spitting any out. I'll feed him rice for a couple days then we will start veggies. I am a little concerned about possible allergies since he apparently has a milk allergy. I intend to actually do the whole try one food at a time thing with him. I never did with Bree or Jare, but they never showed any signs of allergies.

Best Friends!

They are cousins, friends, inseparable, and playmates. I love when we get together and these two girls get to play. They have so much fun together. They have huge imaginations and there is never a dull moment with them around. I can't wait until they are older and Kimmy can come spend a week in the Summer with us.

Jarrett's 2nd Birthday Party

We had this little guys 2nd Birthday Party on the 19th.

It was a small party, just us, mema, papa, kimmy, crystal, nonny, poppy, nan, sandy, kennedy, deidra, lori, john, and becca. I decided this year that I didn't want to spend tons of money on a cake and decorations, so I made cupcakes and my own decorations. It was fun making them for my little man. He is loving tractors so we went with a John Deere theme.
He got lots of new toys. I had just cleaned out the playroom and it is filled back up again!!
He wasn't too sure about the whole blow out the candle thing. He wanted to grab the flame so I think Bree blew it out for him.
I think he had fun at his party. He left shortly after to go to Paden to stay with Shane and Ashley for a couple nights. He was ready to go BYE BYE and didn't even want to give me a bye kiss :0)

Jarrett is 2 years old!!

I can't believe that my Jarebear is 2 today. He is such a sweet, ornery, cuddly, loving boy. Life without him would be pretty boring. He is a little dare devil. The only thing I have discovered he is afraid of are loud trucks and tractors. Only real tractors, he will not ride with his Poppy. He loves toy tractors.


It seems like he has grown up so much just in the past month. I love this picture of him!

What are somethings Jarrett has accomplished in his 2 years of life??

• He has really started talking and communicating just in the past month. My favorite words he says: montee (monkey), Chotat Mik (Chocolate Milk), Mommy Doot (Mommy Do it), Eh do (Here you go) he has many, many more words, but these always make me smile when he says them.
• Can name and point to all his body parts.
• Can identify and knows the sounds of the following animals: dog, cat, frog, horse, chicken, cow, duck, bee, snake, alligator, elephant (no sound), giraffe (no sound), monkey, lion, tiger, bear.
• Count to 3
• Tells me when he needs his diaper changed. This is a recent thing, we will start the potty training process hard core soon!
• Can build a tall tower out of blocks.
• Can work simple puzzles.
• Knows the color Blue
• Tells me he drew an airplane, tractor, or apple (it's just scribbles, but he thinks he is big stuff).
• Sings parts of Jesus Loves Me, B-I-B-L-E, and Big Green Tractor. I love is when he says "Seen Mommy" (sing mommy)

Jarrett's Favorite Things:

• Blocks
• Tools
• Tractors
• Airplanes
• Mickey, Movers, and recently CARS (an obsession passed down from his sister)
• Green Beans
• Apples
• Goldfish
• Juice
• BOOKS!!!
• Butter (I know GROSS)
• Boots
• Hats

Jarrett's my little monkey. He loves to climb and will attempt to flip off of any piece of furniture we have. He is however smart enough to put a pile of blankets or pillows where he intends to land. He doesn't always land in said spot though. He loves his brother and sister, and he love, love, loves to torment his sister!!! He is going to keep me on my toes and I foresee ER visits in my future with this little live wire!

Daddy, Mommy, Bree, and Saw love you so much Jare!

HAPPY 2ND BIRTHDAY!!!!

Wordless Wednesday!

Happy Father's Day

To first my daddy, the best dad I could ask for! I love you so much Dad. Thanks for first and foremost for you Godly example to me, for raising me to Love Jesus. Thanks recently for the encouragement you have given me in my efforts to get in shape and become healthier. Oh, and for the all or nothing gene that you passed on to me :). You are also a pretty special Poppy to Bree, Jare, and Saw! You just have to be in the room and they light up and go crazy! Hope you have great day!

To my hubby! You a wonderful dad to our kiddos! I love how Bree has you wrapped tight around her finger, that you wrestle nightly with Jarrett, and how you spend time holding and talking with Sawyer everyday! You are so good at letting them know they are loved and I thank you for sacrificing and being the sole provider for our family! Love you so much!

My Father-in-Law...I really couldn't ask for a better one! Thanks for loving me like I'm your own! And for being a wonderful Papa Guy to my babies!

And last but not least to My Brother! His baby boy is in the hands of THE FATHER. And while I know there is some comfort in that, I know today is a bittersweet day for him. Sweet because he is Daddy to Jaxxon, bitter because Jaxxon was only with us on Earth a short while. I love you Brother and praying for you today. Thanks for loving my babies so much!
