Thunder Up!

We got together at the Blackburns last weekend to watch the Thunder/Lakers game, and celebrate Ryan, Annie and Chad's birthdays. It was a beautiful day, and Ryan had just finished building an awesome playground for the kids.

Crew 2 Months



My little lovie, you are 2 months old! You have been growing like a weed, and I can't wait until we get to go to your 2 month appt and get your stats! You are so alert and loving all that's going on around you. You love to be talked to and smile back at us all the time. You even have a little dorky giggle that you do sometimes when you get excited. You are pretty ticklish on your feet and also on your sides. You are losing some hair due to cradle cap, but we've got most of it under control for now. You just look like you already have a receding (sp?) hairline. Im sure it will grow back though, so don't worry! Every morning when Gavin wakes up, he looks for you, and says "Bubby" nonstop until I show you to him on the monitor, or until he finds you. He tries to help me by throwing away your diapers after I change you, or jamming your bink into your mouth. Sometimes he also tries to sit with you or on top of you, obviously not knowing he's going to hurt you...we're working on that! Keep growing little one, love you very much! 

At 2 months, you: 

- Sleep a solid 8-9 hours each night, eat, then sleep another 3 hours. 
- You are still in Size 1 diapers, and 0-3 and 3 month tops. We don't wear too many pants around here, but you can wear 3 month pants. 
- You HATE your carrier, and won't ever stay asleep in it except if the car is moving, and sometimes not even then. 
- Your bouncer is your favorite place to be. You've almost given up the swing altogether. 
- You get pretty mad when you get the hiccups, and you don't like to be held laying down. You would rather sit up and see where you're at. 
- Still all breastmilk, drinking about 4 oz every 3 hours.

My 3rd Niece is almost here!

I love having nieces! They are the most precious little girls in the whole world! And the fact that Amy is so close to having her 3RD LITTLE GIRL, makes me even more excited! Cindy, Kristi and I hosted a small shower in honor of our newest niece, Emery Grace Blackburn.

 I'll let Amy post the majority of the pics. We had a great time and got Emery started on a really great wardrobe! Can't wait for May

Hoppy Easter

We had a great Easter weekend!! Easter festivities take on a whole new meaning when you have a baby that can participate! We have another year before we get Gavin to understand what Easter is REALLY about, so this year we opted for eggs and hunting. 

Saturday we spent some time at Nana and Papa's house, and Gavin got an Easter basket from them that he LOVED! He especially loved the balloon until the fan KILLED it! Then we went home and decorated Easter eggs. This part of our Easter festivities was mostly a disaster, but Gavin had so much fun that we didn't care how it all turned out. Instead of dropping the eggs into the cups, he wanted to THROW them in. Instead of admiring the eggs, he wanted to THROW them across the counter. You can see that the general theme of the evening was "Throwing." So if we embraced this theme, then the night went great! 

Sunday we opened Easter baskets from the Easter bunny and Uncle Ray and Aunt Jess. Then we spent the afternoon at Uncle Ryan and Aunt Mimi's. All the kids had so much fun, hunting eggs and eating all their candy!  

At Nana and Papa's

Im a prepared Mama!

Happy Easter to all!

With all the beautiful weather we've been having, we decided to go ahead and get Gavin's new water table setup for him to play! It's a pirate ship with tons of fun things for him to play with. He was a big fan, and eventually started pouring full buckets of water over his head! It was pretty hilarious. 





Love this cute bootie


Happy 8th Bday Lexi!
