Sebastian is 3 months!

I can't get enough of this child's face!! You have been a little sassy lately. Let's just say you like to be held all day, but who could put you down?

Mamaw holding Sebastian. She is so good at calming babies. I love Mamaw. She is an incredible woman.

I love this picture! He is just a chunk! At his 2 month appointment he was 15lbs!


Aunt Jessie came over to play for two days of madness. She is so good with both of you! She rocked you forever the other night, because you were not happy! We stayed up playing cards, drank wine, and laughed. I so love her!

Sebastian is three months today! He is such a love. I barely let him sleep, because I like to pick him up and snuggle. Last night Mackenzie asked me if she thought I kissed him enough...only because I kissed him probably 200 times before he went to bed.

Sebastian is on acid reflux medicine, just like Cealy was at his age. In fact, they both went on the medicine at the exact same time at 2 1/2 months. I did not want to take Sebastian into the doctor because I knew it meant meds, but after taking him 3 times for spitting up or refusing the bottle I decided to put him on it, and it made a huge difference. Sebastian is very calm, which is good, because Cealy is not so calm at her age. In the morning, after breakfast we play in the book room, and read lots of books so he is already getting excited for books. He smiles at everyone, and if I am talking in the room he will look all around until he finds me...SO yummy this little love is!!

Cealy loves Sebastian to pieces. Today in the car, Sebastian was crying and Cealy said, "Don't worry brother, Cealy is here." She also said, "Mommy, you know Jesus loves me? He loves everyone."

At this point KeKe and I are getting into trouble, because Cealy is so funny, you would like to laugh, but it is not always appropriate. If she does something she shouldn't and I say, "Cealy, you want to go to timeout?" She says, "Umm, yes I do."

Be Content.

To be content is a awfully challenging thing these days. When I visit one of my dearest (yes I did use the word dearest) friend, Faithe, I learn to be content. Faithe and I always have the best talks. She is just like my sisters, Aisha and Mackenzie, and listens unbelieveably well, and that is hard to come by these days. Faithe had four babies in one day six months ago, we call them quads but they are very different and should be called by their names, Presley, Izzy, Miles, and Mason. I get overwhelmed looking in Faithe's sink. Goodness there are too many bottles for me to imagine cleaning. Let's face it, I switched to Playtex drop ins because they are easy to clean and Dr. Browns give me too much work. She has four babies each drinking Dr. Browns but won't complain about the work. Faithe said, "I could get overwhelmed, but today is never going to be like tomorrow and I will be in a different place next month, so I should live in the moment." And she does. Refreshing. She is not Pollyanna because we all know those people are on something prescribed. She is real...but thankful. I love that.

When Ceal naps I think of everything I need to do fast while feeding Sebastian, and playing with him, fast of course then running to get her when she wakes, but today was different. Today I held Sebastian the whole time. I napped with him. I looked at him and thanked God for everything he has given me, instead of asking why I have so many things I feel I need to do. I felt content, and I choose to work harder on being content in every moment. Thanks Faithe.

Halloween!

Who would have ever thought Cealy would be Barney? Goodness she is obsessed and of course I couldn't stop laughing at her costume! Sebastian and I gave candy out with Courtney and Avery. Sebastian is the best baby and just watched all the craziness occur!


Sebastian helped me pass out candy and Cealy went with Danny to get Candy! Nana and Pop came by to see her and got some pictures!

Ella and Avery! This is totally Ella's personality!

I love this! The girls were given candy all night long! As soon as I got them on the couch to watch a movie, Mr. Donovan decided to sneak them some marshmellows!!


Avery was a little pumpkin. She is a cutie!!
