Blessing Mac

We blessed Mac on 1/31 and were so happy a lot of our family could make it. It was a busy weekend, and we had a lot of fun seeing everyone. The blessing was great (if you could hear it over Mac crying the whole time)! We found out he has acid reflux and was put on some meds a couple weeks back. It takes them about 2 weeks to start noticing a difference...so unfortunately he was having a bad night that night.

My brother, Scott, gave Mac his first haircut (his hair was so getting so long). He was soooo good while he was getting it cut! He looks like a cute little boy now!



Here are some more pictures from that weekend:

Christmas

We had a wonderful, laid back Christmas. We were able to see my parents and Jeff's also. Mia had a good time opening presents, she was a lot more mellow than we thought she would be. It took her about a year to open her presents, but she was really cute and sweet about everything. We were happy to make it all about her with the arrival of her new baby brother. Mac is getting chubby fast! We bet he will double his birth weight (6 lbs 9 oz) by 2 months, like Mia did! We love out babies chubby!




We spent Christmas Eve at Jeff's brother's house. We had a great dinner and they did their traditional nativity with the kids. Mia was a cute little angel and had a great time with all of her cousins and both sets of grandparents.

Cute Little White Boys

Really, I'm not prejudice! I finally got a picture of Mac and his "older" cousin (by 10 days) Tyson. Both boys came earlier than planned (Mac by 2 weeks, Tyson by 4). They are so cute and little, but starting to fill out. Tyson is Jeff's brother Nathan's little guy. Mia's best buddy is their 3 year old, Andrew. When Mia gets together with Andrew, the 2 are little stinkers together. We are a little worried what these two sweet little babies will turn into in a few years!!!



My cousins brought me this cute little onsie yesterday. With Christmas next week, and the way Mac has been growing, I figured I better get it on him ASAP!
Thanks Ashley & Val!

My Little Sweeties

Baby Macky is now 3 weeks old and weighs 7 lbs. 9 oz. Recovery has been much better/quicker because Maclaren came early and I was able to do a VBAC (instead of the scheduled C-section that I was planning on). Adjusting has also been much easier with baby number 2, since we have a little experience! He really is a great baby and Mia is just crazy about him. She has been a great big sister and is our little helper (bringing me diapers, wipes or paci's). Jeff has also been amazing and takes one of the middle-of-the-night-feeds so I can try to get as much sleep as I can. We seem to have found the balance quickly this time around and we are loving our 2 kids!!! We are getting really excited for Christmas...since Mia can get into Santa/presents/etc. this year.

Here are just a few pictures that I have taken over the last little bit.

A little earlier than expected...

Doing what he does best (for now)- SLEEP!


Proud, Big Sister, Mia, loves "her" Baby Macky!


He looks a little beat up here, but still so cute.




I'll post more later...we just wanted to show off how adorable he is!

Trick or Treat

For Halloween we went to our ward "Trunk or Treat" with Jeff's brother, his wife and their "Hulk". Mia had a great time getting candy from everyone and cruising around with her dad and Andrew. Jessica and I sat at the car and passed out candy- we are both due in December and are in that "uncomfortable" stage.

Jeff and I wore some costumes that we already had...my shirt worked very hard around my belly. I wondered if it was going to (unintentionally) tear some more!

Mia hasn't been a fan of dressing up until she saw how much her cousin loves to put on his costume. She also isn't too much of a girly girl, but after Halloween she kept asking for more sparkles in her hair. I can see her slowly becoming more of one.

We thought she was a cute little Snow White and now she loves anything with Snow White (or any other princess) on it.
