Saylor's 3 months!

 Saylor was 3 months on May 22, 2012!

 Sweet blue eyes & rosy cheeks

 She loves those hands :)

 I love this little face

Our beautiful Saylor is 3 months now!!  She is so fun to dress and has a bow to go with every outfit...I'm not sure if it's because I had 2 boys before her, or if I'm just a "bow girl," but we love our bows!  It's so fun to have another girl in the house!

She's already cutting teeth...yes, you read that correctly.  Both Aidan & Roman had their 2 bottom teeth by 3 months and Saylor's about to join them.  She's a drooling machine (which really cramps her style lately because we've had to wear bibs lol! ;) and loves to blow raspberries.  She's so happy unless she's hungry and then the girl shows off her lungs!  Maybe it's because she's our third child and we are very used to crying, but her cry is so sweet and actually easy on the ears compared to 2 very rambuctious little boys! Aidan & Roman are the sweetest brothers to her and love to give her toys.  They'll even give her the "prize toy" that they'll be fighting over that day...now that's love. 

She's very adventurous already and will have no problem keeping up with her big brothers!  She's already been at the pool, to the beach, on the boat, tons of walks, the mall, grocery store, you name it ;)  She found her hands and loves the hold them together or stuff her fist in her mouth...already talented :)

She weighs in at 12 lbs and is 26" long.  We are so in love with our sweet Saylor girl!!

Saylor's 2 months!

 On April 22, 2012 Saylor turned 2 months old!  She is growing so fast and although she's only been with our family for 2 months, it feels as though she's always been here :)

 I LOVE this little face! She is such a happy and patient (I believe every 3rd child is "patient" by default) baby

 She is starting to get chunky!! (well, for our babies this is chunky!)

 She still has those beautiful blue eyes and tons of dark hair

We LOVE LOVE LOVE our sweet Saylor girl!  I am so thankful everyday to be blessed with this sweet baby girl.  Dressing her is SO MUCH FUN and I think I have a slight obsession with bows (I think that I've bought out one of the etsy stores online...haha!). 

On Sunday, April 22nd, we put her up in her own room in her own crib.  Bittersweet night for me. She may be the last baby we have in our room, so although I was happy to have our space back, I was sad putting away the bassinet and swing :(   She slept 12 hours straight though (praise Jesus!). We have her on a great routine now: bath around 8ish, feeding around 8:30ish and then asleep for the night!  She usually sleeps until 5:30am, eats and then goes back to beauty sleep for another 3 hours or so...just in time for one of her brothers to barge into her room and "give" her a toy or make her "cozy" with blankets!

Best part about 2 months - she's a SMILEY baby!  She smiles so much and slightly "growls"at you in a playful way.  It's so sweet and fun to see her little personality shine through.  She's a very happy baby unless she's hungry or getting played with too roughly with her older bros :)

Our first boat ride of the year 4/21/2012

 Aidan's new lifejacket (when the boys first got their lifejackets a few weeks ago they wore them for 2 days straight!)

 Our sweet Saylor girl

 Saylor's first boat ride at 2 months!

 Captain Aidan & Grandpa

 Romie...he was SO excited to get on the boat!

 handsome hubby...I'm one lucky girl

 Classic Roman face

It felt so great to get out on the water again!  Aidan loved it, Roman was super still and took some getting used to again, and Saylor fell asleep.  They're going to love tubing and maybe wakeboarding this year!  

Easter 2012

 Aidan's preschool Easter Party on March 26, 2012.  They also had a Musical at school where the kids sang songs...Aidan sang about 2 songs and then ran over to sit with us!  His teacher said that he loved singing during class, but the minute he saw us he started to lose it...poor guy!

 Easter Egg Hunt

 Roman was helping Biggie :)  He CANNOT wait to go to school with Biggie this Fall...it's so cute how much they love each other.

 Saylor slept through all the excitement

 Crazy boys :)

DECORATING EASTER EGGS

On Saturday April 7, 2012 Shelley was here so we dyed Easter Eggs! 

 I love all of her bows...girls are so much fun!

 Naked boys ready to make a huge mess

 I love him :)

 Roman liked to stick his hand in the dye and then try to eat the eggs :)

 Glad Seesha was there...this was a 2 man event

 Success!

 Easter baskets!  They got Jesus Loves Me stickers, VeggieTales DVDs, sunglasses and Peeps :)

 That night we all hung out and played games since Tommy & Shelley were in town...Kyle and Saylor were hanging out on the couch

EASTER - HE IS RISEN!!

When the kids first got up on Easter we went over the Easter story and how amazing it is that our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ conquered the grave!  We explained that Jesus died on Good Friday for our sins and on the third day He rose, defeating death and making a way for us to have everlasting life with Him.

 "...Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures..." 1 Corintians 15:1

"Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting? The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." 1 Corintians 15:55-57

 Finding their Easter baskets

 Morning nap before Church

 What's cooler than sunglasses and a finger up your nose?

 Our family Easter 2012 (I had a cute dress on at church, but was way too uncomfortable to stay in it for dinner!)

 Aunt Seesha and Saylor

 She was very fashionable for Easter Sunday :)

 Uncle Kyle - the baby whisperer

 Easter dinner at Kyle & Bethany's!

 They had an Easter Egg hunt for the boys!

 Aidan would diligently find his eggs and place them in his bucket...

 while Roman raced around and found every egg possible, opened it up, ate the candy and then left the egg there.  No need for a bucket when you're that efficient!

 Aidan with his bucket full of eggs (mostly empty eggs thanks to Roman)

 Roman on a sugar high from inhaling all the candy! I love our boys!

 Since Kyle is a Tennis Pro, he has a TON of tennis balls...

 and what's more fun than making a huge mess? 

Nana and Saylor taking it easy :)

Easter was a lot of fun this year and it's so awesome to see our boys really starting to understand the true meaning of Easter.  It's not about a bunny, or candy, or eggs.  All of those things are fun and the traditions are exciting to keep going, but the MOST important thing about Easter is Jesus IS RISEN and He is ALIVE and He is ruling and reigning on the right side of God our Father.  Without Jesus raising from the dead, we would all have no hope in a Savior.  BUT HE DID RISE and we can put our faith in Him.

"But when this priest [Jesus] had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God.  Since that time he waits for his enemies to be made a footstool, because by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy." Hebrews 10:12-14

"To him who overcomes, I will give the right to sit with me [Jesus] on my throne, just as I overcame and sat down with my Father on his throne." Revelation 3:21
