Updates on Jaden's website


For those who are interested, I updated Jaden's site tonight with some pictures and the latest news!




Poor little M has a bad cough right now. She sounds like an old man poor pumpkin. We're busy lovin' her up so she gets better soon. Jaden is under the weather, too, so I think we'll be sticking around home this weekend.

Where's my baby?

Tonight I picked up Jaden from daycare in the stroller and we walked over to Grandma Pat's for supper. She graciously took care of little M while I ran some errands and took a much needed nap. When we got there jaden ran up the stairs and asked Grandma Pat "Where's my baby?" There she was on the couch sleeping!

7 weeks!

Mackenna is 7 weeks old today! I caught this smile after a GREAT 2 hour morning nap. PRAISE GOD!! After yesterday's battle (20 minutes of sleep in about 14 hours) her nap was complete heaven. She's now down for her second so I hope she's able to keep it up. Thank you Baby Whisperer!!! Anywho, here's the latest... Yesterday Jaden decided to play his latest concerto for Mackenna as she fussed in her swing. Sweet boy! Didn't work, though. Drat.
We surprised Grandma Pat for her bday with a room full of friends and family on Saturday night. She was surprised and the party was fun. Here's Laura who I found out was a baby magnet!!

Friday night we celebrated the FAR coming back clear with a toast before our meal at Grandma Pat's. It was darn good.

Cheers

Uncle Greg got to chill with Mackenna for a while on the deck. He approved so I guess she stays.

6 weeks old!

Mackenna is 6 weeks old! I can't believe it! She has quite a week. After quite a few days in a row of refusing to sleep during the day she finally gave today and get this... took a 6 hour afternoon nap! She's asleep again 2 hours later. Hopefully she doesn't trade in her daytime sleep hours for some nightlife tonight!
Today, Mackenna had a very important social engagement. She and I were invited to coffee time during our church quilter's work day. It was very special. The quilters presented Mackenna with a quilt. Here are some pictures from our visit.
All the quilters pose for a quick pic with us!

Oldest and the youngest. Irene just turned 90 on April 1st and Mackenna is just six weeks.

Mackenna got her Fuzzi Bunz in the mail this week and boy does she look great in them! These are the smalls. The mediums actually fit Jaden, so he's sporting some daisies, too. In fact when he woke up yesterday morning that was the first thing out of his mouth. "Flower diapers? Flower diapers?" He couldn't wait to put them on!

What a week!

It's been a great week! Mackenna is doing very well. We switched her formula to the sensitive stuff and she has really only cried when she is hungry or super tired. She is more content now even to sit in her boppee. Thank goodness!

On Thursday I finally put together the double stroller we got. I forgot to take pictures of Jaden and Mackenna in it so I'll do that soon and post them. I also got my box of Fuzzi Bunz in the mail YEAH!!! They are so stinkin' cute. I will also post some pics of those when I get a chance. I've got the inserts all washed up and ready to go. Mackenna has about 15 diapers in her stash that she could wear right now so I think we are almost ready to switch over 100% (with the exception of overnight traveling) Speaking of cloth, those of you who CD out there, there's a free giveaway this week on allaboutclothdiapers.com for a FREE cutie poops! I posted a pic a while back of Mackenna in her first cutie poops. More are on their way thanks to Great Auntie Annie!!!

Both Thursday and Friday were hard days, gotta face it. NO sleep and cranky baby and toddler makes for one UNHAPPY momma. Two highlights of Thursday, however were the 4 ducklings coming home and finding out that Jaden and Mackenna are going to have TWO cousins in August, a boy AND a girl. Holy CATS! Bring it on, I say.

On Saturday we headed to Grammie and Grandpa's for Easter. We got to spend some time outside and also just some time relaxing which was great! While Brett toughed it out a night with Mackenna I learned that Jaden and I in a bed do NOT mix. He kicks, hits, pats, head butts, hogs the bed, and that's just while he's sleeping. The two hours between 1 and 3 in the morning he spent trying to convince me that I should get up and make him some supper.

Mackenna had a great day with many admirers at church. She had to take a bit of a break with Grammie half way through. Jaden wished he could have as the LOUD brass, choir, and timpani scared the pants off of him. At the end of the Alleluia chorus in a loud whiny voiced, he proclaimed. "NO Alleluia!"

Here are some pics from the last few days. Enjoy.
