Baby Wrap

Hey Whats that?

Oh its little baby Royce

My girlfriend Kathryn got one these and I thought it was so cool I wanted one too. Then I remembered my cousin Jessie made one so I stole her idea and did the same. Its super easy just buy 5 yards of fabric (t-shirt like) and cut it so its about 25inches wide (I just cut mine in half so I have two wraps). Then I just looked up some tutorials on Youtube on how to tie it. Most comfy baby carrier I have tried. The only problem with mine is I got a stiffer fabric which I read was better for babies as they get heavier (which Royce is doing), it is sturdy but I wanted to be able to nurse him while he was in it and its hard to get him in position so I think the stretchier fabric works better for that.

Complete Insanity

So I am pretty sure when people see me coming with my three kids they run and hide. I get a lot of "wow you have three kids" or "Oh you want to have more". I never thought having three kids was a lot but I guess it is. When James and I got married we said we wanted 4-6 and I still stand by that and to be honest 3 kids doesn't seem like much more work than 2. I love my babies so much, they are the greatest joys in my life! and I say the more the merrier!



I love this outfit! We have an awesome thrift store in Denton and I got this outfit there for 75cents!

So Royce doesn't love bath time as much as I would like. This is the second real bath I gave him (usually I shower with him) the first time the poor kid must have thought he was drowning cause I have never seen him freak out so bad! His face was bright red and he stopped breathing for like a minute from fear, to say the least it was a really short bath!before bathduring bathafter bath

Bella Bella

How could you not love a face like that! She is such a ham, she totally started poses for these pictures completely unprompted

First of all I want to say I love my girl.... but she is driving me nuts! The child is incredibly creative and that tends to get her in a lot of trouble (for example when she colors all over my night stand). I think she is taking advantage of the fact that I am a little scatter brained recently because she has been extra mischievous.

I was so impressed the other night because Bella ate all her dinner. Then I was cleaning up and found this. She likes to make works of art with her food!

I walked into the den the other day and found this (well this is about half of what I found, I already started cleaning when I thought to take a picture) Bella (and Luke by omission) Took out ever toy, book, shoe, blanket, sock, ect. That they could find and threw them into a huge pile. So me wanting to teach them a lesson said clean it up guys, that resulted in a lot of "I can'ts" or "I don't know how" and since it was fastly approaching bed time I said "Okay go get in bed". The next day all the toys and book were gone! I boxed them up and told them they had to earn them back. We now have what is called "THE BOX" if they do something nice, unprompted, they get to pick a toy from THE BOX, if they do something naughty I get to take something away. It was working really well until I realized that my entire storage closet was take up by all there toys.... so we had a One for you and One for me party. I got out two boxes. One for the toys they were going to keep and One for the toys they were getting rid of. For each toy they put in the get rid of box they got to pick one to keep. This was very successful and they were just excited about getting back their stuff. We now have two huge boxes of toys and a large stuffed frog to get rid.

On a gross kinda funny note the other day we were outside and Luke came up to me very excited saying " Look at this pretty gray and yellow feather I found" I was looking at it when Bella yells "look I found more" I looked over and she was holding a decapitated bird! (A present from good ole' Jasper). I totally freaked and we went inside and washed our hands 4X.

He is still sleeping

I dont know what to do with myself. I fed Royce at 10 last night and I woke up this morning (its now 7 am) and thought oh my gosh he still sleeping. He just slept through the night! I cant hardly believe it he is only 5 weeks, Bella slept through the night the first time at 7 weeks and Luke didnt start sleeping through the night till 3 months. This baby is being so good to me.

I can't take the credit we use the Baby Wise (its a book) schedule and it works! I know some people are against it but I have to tell you that it has saved my sanity on several occasions. Anyways I better go wake him up and feed him. Yay!
