1 month already?!

Time sure is flying.  Today baby Kyle is 1 month old and he's getting so big!  We have a scale at home and he was weighing in at 11 lbs the other day.  He's a really good eater and mostly a good sleeper.  He has some rough nights, but nothing we can't handle. 

Here's a gassy smile from 2 weeks ago.

 Fall is in the air in Nashville.  The weather has cooled down, the sun is setting early and the pool is closed.  Dad was home at just the right time with his paternity leave.  Luckily we went to the pool a couple of days this last week because it closed on Sunday.  Aubrie likes to find goggles and toys that people leave at the pool and wear them.  She says she is an astronaut and won't put her head under the water to look around.  She just likes to strut around in them and looks silly. 

 For Kyle's 1 month birthday, Emilie got him a gift for herself.....an ear infection!!!  The poor thing seemed fine yesterday.  She's had a runny nose off and on but we thought it was mostly allergies since we all have it, but this morning when I went in to get her up, I could tell by her eyes she didn't feel good and she let us know she didn't feel good.  She was grabbing her ear and telling me, "owie!!"  And she screamed...a lot.  She wouldn't let anyone else touch her or help her, she only wanted me.  And so did Kyle.  Luckily Aubrie didn't give a hoot about me.  Our doctor got us in first thing this morning and she let him check her out.  Poor girl.  She'll bounce back soon.

Giving some love to Kyle last weekend

 And here is my little one month old.  He's getting so big.  He loves laying on his playmate and talking to the toys that hang down.  He's getting really good about holding his head up.  But his favorite thing to do is listen for his sisters and try to watch what they are doing.  It's going to be a real circus show around here as soon as those two realize they can make him laugh.  We'll really have a house full of giggles then!

Mom is in town helping me now that Adam is back at work.  Next week my dad will fly into town to hang out with the fam and meet Kyle.  Then it will be just us.  No more free help!  I'm very blessed with lots of friends with generous hearts, so I'm not too worried.  Mom has been great help and I'll really miss her.  She spoils me with french toast and right now she's doing our ironing for us.  She's great with the kids and is the only one who can get Kyle to take his pacifier.  I'll be sending her back home tired and worn out. 

Adam and I are doing well.  We can't describe how full our hearts are and how complete our family feels.  We are so in love with our little boy and our little girls give us so much joy.  We're thankful for our family.  It's been interesting hauling around 3 little ones.  Things can get pretty crazy.  The other day after school, Petey ate Aubrie's sandwich when she was talking to my mom and she flipped out.  At the same time, Emilie was yelling about something and all of the sudden Aubrie declared, "This is a mad house!  This is a horrible house!!!"

She can be pretty dramatic, but I had to laugh.

I hope everyone else's house isn't as mad as ours.  :)  Love to all!
