1 Month

I'd like to say I can't believe he's already a month, but the lack of sleep for a month has definitely told me it's been that long. :) Actually, he doesn't do too bad. He usually goes to sleep around midnight and then gets up around 6. 

He is out of Newborn clothes, but 0-3 is still a little big. He loves to eat. I think my boys are going to have to get a job when they turn teenagers to support their eating habits!

He is still against me and my camera. Every time I try to take his picture for his album, he gets fussy.

The Boy's Room

Finally got around to taking some pictures of Weston and Camden's room. I'm usually not one that likes one wall painted a different color, but I really wanted a navy wall. I knew that it would make the room really small if we painted the whole thing and I didn't want to spend extra money and do the boards halfway up. So, I figured we'd give it a try. That's the nice thing about paint-if you don't like it, you can paint again. However, I pity the person who paints over this color.

We got the bedspread and pillows at Homegoods. 

Wes spray painted the dresser. We tried painting it, but the red ended up looking pink. It has a spray paint sheen, but I don't care enough to redo it again. The frames are Ikea's cheap poster frames and have plastic instead of glass-thus, the bad glare. 

We were able to shop Wesley's "junk" stash for decor.

The other three walls are supposed to be gray, but they look light blue. Again, I don't care enough to change it. HA! The vintage chalkboard was a yard sale treasure from last summer.

This area drives me a little crazy because it's so cluttered. However, it's an essential part of the room for this little guy.

Ice Skating

Arilynn had her first crack at ice skating. Thankfully, no literal "cracks" happened. We went out to the Ellis' pond. I wanted to join them, but it's a little too soon. Maybe next year...

As you can see by her foot formation, she still has some practicing to do. However, she thought she was big stuff! 

I couldn't talk Wesley into it...not sure why except for maybe the first only time he went ice skating he spent most of the time on the ground.

Family Post; Others View at Own Risk

If I can get Weston to keep his room cleaned long enough for me to take pictures, I'll have something else to show you. Until then (like 5 yrs from now), enjoy the random photos.

Already so smart. ;) 

Sissy loves baby brother.

Morning snuggles.

Randomness

I don't think this post could be any more random, but this is for my Mom who's dying for more pics... :) 

You always hear about people's tales that by the 3rd child, sometimes even the 2nd, there is less and less pictures. I'm trying to not let that happen, but let's be realistic. I'm tired. LOL! Hopefully, this too shall pass and the camera won't get too dusty.

 Please ignore the pile of cords in the background. The kiddos enjoyed Christmas, but they haven't learned the art of waking up at the crack of dawn and pestering Mom and Dad to get up. We were up before them and Arilynn just played patiently until Weston woke up. She didn't once mention opening presents. We'll see if that lasts...

I attempted a "photo shoot" with all 3, but Camden was having none of it. Of course, the other two cooperated when he wasn't and when he did, they didn't. 

In 95% of his pictures, he had his mouth opened. I tried shutting it. Wonder if that's a sign of things to come?

Love

Mommy's heart just keeps getting bigger!

Introduction

Allow me to introduce to you the newest member of our family:

Camden Luke

01/06/14

3:54 AM

7lbs 12oz, 20"

We're all in love with him!

I was actually scheduled for a c-section for Tues. However, this little booger decided he couldn't wait one more day to see his Mommy, so along he came...fast and furious. 

I hope to keep family & friends updated on here frequently, but no promises... :) Give me a little bit to establish "routine" (whatever that is).
