Tummy Time

Trying to keep him awake, nothing fazes him. He slept through a bath before.

Sunday afternoon relaxing

Seriously time is going by too fast! I really want to cherish this newborn stage which is hard when it is going by so quickly!! We just love our little man and Cecily is the best big sister to him! She loves him so much and is so quick to help him when he fusses and even when he is asleep. She has done fairly well with the transition, she has a bit of a hard time listening but Im also finding I have a hard time practicing patience so its comes down to both of us being the issue. all in all we are enjoying the chaos and this fun time with our two cute kids!

Grandma Came to town

Grandma and Oli

Ready for church

We loved having Grandma Wagner come for a much to short trip! We were able to see some of the city and go on walks. It was a nice and low key weekend we mostly just visited while she played with the kids!

Cecily recently learned to dive into the pool.

1st Family Photo

Oliver has already been such a joy to have in our home. He is a really good baby so far, it took CC a good two weeks to really "wake up" after she was born and then she was a bit of a "hard" baby so Im not going to jinx myself yet. So far so good though. He is healthy and doing well, he had his 5 day dr apt yesterday and was back up to 5 lbs 10 oz! We are glad he is gaining weight and doing well! It is amazing the love we can feel for another person we just met. Cecily is doing really great with him, she just loves her little brother so much and does a wonderful job helping. She gets sidetracked and loses interest fairly quickly as well so that is nice for me when Im trying to take care of him. We are surviving on our little bit of sleep just loving life as a family of 4!!

We have a graduate

Mom and Cecily on her big day!!!

Some of her fav activities at school

Each week the sensory bucket would be filled with something different i.e. Rice, cuscous, dried beans, popcorn kernals, bird seed, water ect. she loved playing in the bucket each week after she did an art project.

Song time! We love this special time we have together at school.

Working on making her Graduation Hat

Tuesday was Cecily's last day of her Two Yr old preschool class, Our goals for the year were to work on her seperation skills, It took her until about after Christmas to be excited about going to school and to understand that "Mom always comes back" after class is over, She has had a few crying spurts the last few weeks but I think it had to do with knowing big change was coming her way with Oliver joining our family. All in all she will go to nursery, school, and the gym day care with out getting sad about me leaving her.

She learned so many great things at school including but not limited colors, shapes, letters, seasons, animals, how to wait in a line, how to use a smart board, how to wait her turn and to raise her hand. She made so many new friends and has really great social skills. We are proud of her for over coming her fears and doing well with out Mom!
