Scarlett Ann - FIVE months

Scarlett Ann is 5 months

Trying to keep 3 kids all healthy at the same time during winter/spring is almost impossible. We have spent quite a bit of time there this season. This was for Asher's 4 year old appointment. I believe everyone was healthy here! ha! Look at Asher holding onto Scarlett. Sweet babies!

 Doing big girl things. Sitting!

 My baby girl!

Teething is rough!

Bouncer fun!

 Scarlett and Ana.

 Her last time napping in the stroller. She's officially too big... and she generally won't lay down. Sad day. We gave it to friends expecting a baby this summer. :)

Scarlett Ann - FOUR months

Scarlett at 4 months:

13.4 pounds (50%)

25.5 inches (90%)

Brunching and walking with her friend Ana. Ana is exactly 2 months younger. Scarlett's first time in the "big" girl stroller.

Snacking and watching sister. I agree she's actually more entertaining than some TV shows. ha!

Scarlett had her shots, and Asher jumped up on the table to hold her. When she started to cry the boys were upset for her... rubbing her, and asking if she was ok. She is SO protected!

My world. Early morning huggies!

Trying rice cereal for the first time!

Peaceful girl in her crib napping.

Scarlett Ann - THREE months

Little mama is three months old.

She's been growing leaps and bounds, and just all around a happy go lucky baby! However, she was hit with a cold. Asher and Jake had runny noses that went away within a week, but Scarlett got it and it started going into her chest. No matter how clean I keep my house (and I'm a neat freak), and no matter how separate I tried to keep them, it still happened. 

Within 2 weeks, Scarlett has been to the doctor 4 times! The beginning stages of RSV (although she wasn't tested for RSV), and the start of an ear infection. She got antibiotics on Monday, and our girl is coming back into good health. 

The doctor said this is one of the longest/scariest cold seasons to date. And she said it's been particularly worse for the babies born with winter season with older siblings.

UMMM. YEP! When I had Jake he wasn't exposed to anyone other than us. And Asher was born when Jake was 17 months old and he wasn't in preschool yet. So, both boys didn't get their first illnesses until they were closer to a year. But, I do remember Jake always got sick after or during our traveling. But, it wasn't from siblings.


Anyhow, we are well into her three months of life, and loving every second with her!

Here are her sticker pictures for three months. 

Here are some pictures from over the month.

My pretty girl.

7 boy cousins... and then Scarlett. :)

Doctor appointments that broke my heart. Still such a strong, and happy baby.

She is no longer taking breathing treatments... Thank goodness!

Cheers to a healthier week for all! 

Happy 4th birthday, Asher!

From the moment I laid eyes on Asher I knew he was special. Passionate from the start. Easy baby, but when upset... upset. When happy... happy. He's my child that give the best hugs, kisses, and an arm on my back when I need it the most. He also doesn't take no for an answer. It's a debate. When he plays a sport, he's playing to win. Seriously, losing isn't an option. He can write all of our names, spell multiple words, and can write to 20. Because he can also do what his big brother does. Turning 4 to Asher means he's that much closer to Elementary school with his big brother. His best friend in the whole wide world. He adores his baby sister, and is usually caught touching and kissing her (even if he has a cold. hmm). Baby Scar-LETT! Cheese is his jam. All cheese! He's my twin (well, other than being 3x the size I was at his age). My spirit animal. My love bug. He keeps me on my toes. He's absolutely beautiful with his big blue eyes, blonde curly hair, and happy contagious smile. But, don't cross the kid. And do not touch his family. Loyal son. He'll let you know to back off. He's truly special. 4 years ago... The Lord blessed us with this incredible boy. Happy Birthday, Asher Stone! You are my sunshine always and forever! 

Woke up to many surprises! 

Class party. Here is Asher and his teacher. Scarlett photo bombing in her car seat.

Pre-K celebration! 

His best buddy Luke at soccer!

My silly 4 year old!

Asher was so lucky on his birthday... He got a balloon surprise when he got home from school from his uncle Ren, and aunt Lee (what a great surprise!)! All his neighborhood buddies came over with handmade cards to wish Asher a happy birthday (he was totally beaming)! He got gifts delivered by Aunt Lizzie, phone calls, cards, and even before bed a surprise from his uncle Phil, and auntie Audrey (with the biggest Lego minion play set - which uncle Phil will have to help me assemble. ha! ). Auntie Audrey even read books and put them to bed.

What an incredible day for this little munchkin. Next up... dinner party Friday night with family. Thank you all for your messages, calls, and texts. Asher was so happy ... ALL DAY!

New lens

Just a few pictures of my babies. I got a new lens, now I'm figuring out how to use it. I'm also looking to purchase a photoshop program. Nothing too crazy though... But, something better than my MAC book pro has to offer.

My babies: 5, 3.5, 2.5 months.

LOVE.

Biggest bro and littlest sister.

Jake, Ash, and Scarlett.

Our littlest Valentine.

Scarlett Ann - TWO months

Scarlett is two months. She's actually 10 weeks today. :) 

Our little one had her two month baby well on Wednesday this week. She actually had gained an ounce since I created the picture below. She's eating every 2-3 hours during the day, and going 3-5 hours over the night. Although it's not consistent overnight, she at least isn't fussy. 

Here are a few of her favorite things:

The swing, her brothers, musical floor gym, an app called Music Box (if you have a newborn... download immediately), her family, and our smiles make her smile and coo.

Her dislikes:

Car seat, pacifier (even though we still give it to her), and clothing changes.

I even did a little comparison of the three little minions:

Jake: 12 lbs 11 oz - 23.5 inches 

Asher: 14 lbs 1 oz - 25 inches

Scarlett: 11 lbs 7 oz - 23 inches

I love that I have been able to keep my blog going since Grant and I got married (2009). One day when I decide to finish writing it... I will print out the final copy and pass it down to my kids. They will each have their own "baby book" from it also. How fun. I hope they enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

So... now, back to Scarlett! ;)

Having a little girl is so much fun! They have cute clothes, and are so sweet. Well, of course my boys were sweet too... it's really so different. And this being our last baby makes the whole experience just a little sweeter. 

Sweet baby girl.

 Tummy time.

 Finally! One of my babies LOVES the swing! Now, I can shower with no tears! ;)

Well, off to start our rounds of pick ups! Enjoy your Friday friends!
