Humerus not Humorous

Last Saturday (June 21st) I gave Leah a bath and laid her down to play on the floor. Next it is time for Noah's bath.  When I was getting all the bath stuff cleaned up Leah had rolled onto her tummy and was getting fussy.  Her helpful brother Kelson tried to roll her back to her back, but what he didn't realize was he was rolling her right on top of her own arm.  She was screaming and wouldn't calm down so I worried she had dislocated her shoulder... she started moving it a little and acting more content so I decided to just watch her throughout the weekend.  On Monday night she was laughing so much and we were just enjoying her.  She was sitting on Trevor and then she started to get fussy and she started to arch her back which made her almost fall, so Trev grabbed her at the armpit to catch her and sit her up again.  She started screaming and didn't want to move her arm and just wouldn't calm down.  We gave her Tylenol and put her to bed and decided to watch her over the next few days to see if this would happen again or see if she was favoring her arm.  I took her in to the doctor today and sure enough... she has a green-stick fracture at the top of her humerus.  Poor little thing broke her arm at 4 1/2 months!! Well, they don't actually make slings for 4 1/2 month old babies for broken shoulders/or arms- SOO she is in long sleeves with pins holding her arm in place for part of the summer.  Good thing she is a tough little thing!  Getting the x-ray done was like torture and I felt so bad for my sweet little girl.  She is going to wish she could move her arm more than she can and it could be a long couple of weeks.  And, she sleeps on her tummy so nights might be longer than we are used to.   Here is to hoping her arm heals quick!!!

Pictures of the Boys

I get professional pictures taken every year of my kids.  Baylee did such an amazing job!  She is a great photographer.  You can check out her website here. These are just a few of the great pictures we got taken.
I know I'm biased, but I think that my boys are 2 of the most handsome little things on the planet!!  Look at those faces!!  Caleb was so funny about getting his picture taken.  When we would tell him to smile, he would say "I did!"  He also thought he should choose where to stand or sit instead of letting Baylee position him.  We had a fun evening taking pictures of these two crazies!  LOVE THE PICTURES and LOVE MY BOYS!!

Caleb Monster is 3

Our little monster turned 3 yesterday!!

 Caleb is such a little spit-fire.  Right now he is really independent.  If he wants something done and if I do it, he often times undoes what I did and then he does it again.  He throws the biggest fits of anyone I've seen.  He wants things his way!!  He can also be such a sweetie.  If someone asks to play with his toys he is usually willing to share (this depends on his mood). He loves to give kisses and hugs.  He gives the babies kisses multiple times a day.  He loves to play outside in the dirt. Digging holes is something he does almost every day!  He loves feeding the animals and doing most anything outside.  He also loves anything to do with horses, cows and trucks/tractors.  He is ALL boy!
We had a birthday party for him on Sunday and he sure is loved and he was so happy with his cake and all his gifts.  I usually pin a bunch of cakes on pinterest and let the boys pick out the cake they want... good thing I have some talented sisters-in-law to make cakes for us.  Jamie made his cake this year and it turned out great!

On Monday we took the boys to an old barn to get some pictures.  I had bribed them saying if they smile good for Baylee and take some good pictures we would get a snow cone... well it started out pretty good.  Kelson did amazing this year for taking pictures.  When we would tell Caleb to smile he would say "I did" and when we would say smile again he would say "I did" or "I am" haha If Baylee said how about you come stand over here, he would say "No how about here" and stand somewhere else.  He kept getting so distracted but he kept us laughing.

We love you Caleb!  Happy Birthday!!

4 Months Old!

These two cuties turned 4 months on the 4th of this month. 

They are pretty good babies if I don't eat foods that give them tummy aches.

Leah is 21 1/2 inches long and 9 pounds 1 ounce.  She smiles and coos so much.  She has laughed a few times and it is the cutest sound you've ever heard!! She loves to put her dress in her mouth and suck on her fingers or thumbs.  She is sleeping around 8-9 hours at night and takes lots of short naps through-out the day.  This week she started rolling over but she still gets stuck on her arm and boy does it make her mad! She is so much fun to have in our home we love her to pieces.

 

Noah is 22 1/2 inches long and 10 pounds.  He smiles and coos lots.  His smile always has his tongue out it is adorable! Just in the last week he decided he quite likes his thumb and he sucks it to soothe awake or asleep.  He is also sleeping around 8-9 hours at night and he usually takes one long nap and a few short ones each day.  This week he started swatting at the toys that hang above him on the play mats. He focuses so much on moving objects.  He is pretty chill and so sweet we just love our handsome little Noah.
