Dance, Dance, Dance!

We concluded our Mommy & Me Dance class by participating in the spring dance recital. We roped Grandma Linda into being a dance partner being Mama was not able to assist both of us and we all were a bit unsure as to how things were going to go being when practicing at dance class during the weeks prior, we kept switching between Grandma and Mama. However, we both were superstars and it went wonderfully (even despite only having a 1/2 hr nap that day due to it being a crazy-busy weekend with Papa's family in town for Grandpa Gene's memorial service). Papa and Mama were so proud of us!

We are in the back row (Grandma w/E, Mama w/M)...
Running around after we were all done (we think we look like one of Papa's favorite flowers, hehe!)...

Dance partners...

Thanks Grandma Linda for helping out!!! We couldn't have done it without you!
We also couldn't complete the post without sharing a picture of our little brother who attended our big event as well...

Happy 1-month to Teddy!

Oh my goodness, where has my first month of life gone?!?! Well if you consider that I came down with a cold on day 5 of life (which lasted until I was almost 3 wks old) and resulted in an average of 2 MD trips per week for weight checks being I wasn't the best eater, as well as celebrated my first Easter and Mother's Day, you can understand how the month just flew by!

No worries, once the congestion in my nose cleared, I started to pack on the pounds and became a very alert little boy(who wouldn't be with my 2 big sisters constantly in my face). I frequently hear everyone in our house refer to me as "My Teddy!"
Papa and Mama think I am a pretty laid back baby boy...either DNA-based or because I have no choice (again my big sisters). I enjoy studying people and things around me, kicking my legs, and am starting to make some cooing sounds.In addition to packing on weight, I also continue to grow in length and am nearing the end of 0-3 month clothing. Let me demonstrate my favorite stretching routine for you...

Warming up-
Look at my long arms and legs (and don't forget to check out those long feet!)-

One more thing, I am a super pooper! I frequently blow-out of clothing and we are likely moving to size 1 diapers. Even though NB-size ones still fit, they are a bit short on my long trunk so maybe the next size up will save Mama some laundry work...hehe! Okay, I want to be done with this sharing of information and photo shoot thing!

Hugs to all,

Theodore (a.k.a. Teddy)

The best gifts ever!

Happy Mother's Day to all! If someone would have told Cris and I that we would have 3 children, let alone 3 under the age of 3, 3 years ago we would of told them our chances of winning the lottery would likely be better. Wow, what blessings we have been provided! You each are truly gifts from God! Motherhood is shaping up to be more than I could ever have expected and I have you 3 little ones to thank. Thank you for making me want to be the best Mama I can be! I wish I could bottle up each second of each day and have the chance to go back to it as desired being you are just growing up way too fast. You provide me with countless giggles, the best hugs and kisses, the silliest faces and phrases, and remind me of what life should really be about!

Love, hugs, and kisses to you each forever! Mama
