4 weeks old

A little late, but had to share! Owen is 4 weeks old in this picture. What we're learning about you: sleeper during the day and at night-usually only gets up once at night to eat. Your nickname is "firecracker"-- generally very calm but when you want something you want it now and let everyone around you know. You love having your hands close to your face and it helps calm you. You've been struggling with reflux and so we started you on some medicine to see if it would help ease your fussiness and tummy pains...we should hopefully see improvements in 2-4 weeks.

December Events

Eli's 6th Birthday Meal

For months Eli had been telling us that he wanted to go to El Charro for his birthday so he could have them smear ice cream on his face, so that's what we did! Avery on the other hand wanted to stay with Grandma in fear they may mistake him for eli. As you can see he warmed up to the festivities and actually wore the hat for a little while.

We went and visited Santa in Iola one evening. Eli sat on Santa's lap and told him all that he and Avery wanted for Christmas. Avery kept his distance from Santa and gave him a sweet smile from behind my leg; maybe next year he'll sit on Santa's lap for his little brother.

We were able to get our forms poured for our house the beginning of December when we had a few days of nice weather.

Here is a picture of some yummy butterhorn rolls Avery and I made last week. Avery did a great job shaping the rolls and needed little direction from me, quite the little baker!!!
