Shots today???

Today Mark and I went and had lunch with McKade at the Harbor, our very favorite place to go in Rockwall. We ate at Glorias' and then went for a walk around the lake. I took some very cute pictures of McKade and his daddy. He was being quite a character, talking and making this new sound of spitting through his closed lips....it was really quite funny! Mckade had a Dr. appt. today for his 4 month check up. I thought it would be a quick in and out check up, his weight and length, that sort of thing. It was exactly what I thought it would be.... Mckade now weighs 16 lbs and 2 oz, (pretty good for a baby that got down to 5 lbs after he was born) he is 25 inches long and is in the 50 percentile of babies his age. After the Dr. checked him he then informs me that he needs 3 more shots. NOOOOO!!! I HATE seeing my babies in pain and I had no clue he would get shots today. I felt so bad, he was so happy and just had no clue what was about to happen. He was such a big boy and only cried for a minute, if even that. He got his bottle and that was good for him. He slept for a little while and seemed to feel better when he got up. My mom also came over to see the kids today and McKade was really into her shirt, it was soo funny, he just kept grabbing it and trying to put it in his mouth. LOL! Here are a few pics of our day and of our little trooper.

The sun was BRIGHT!

So Sweet!

GOD IS GREAT!!

I had to write this because we have been praying and praying about this and today we got some WONDERFUL news!! Our Jeep had a heart attack about 6 weeks ago, the radiator busted and the engine overheated causing the Jeep to die. We were very upset because this is our one and only vehicle at the moment and as timing has it 2 weeks later Mark was going to be be buying a second car. But, we had to rent a car while the insurance assessed the damage and decided if it was an accident or not. (It was, I hit a HUGE pot hole in downtown Rockwall) Thanks to our really good friend Erin because without her I would have been stranded on the side of the road. And to our wonderful friend, John who came and towed the Jeep and made sure the insurance did their job!! Thank God for good friends! So onto great news.....we heard from our insurance this morning and they are taking care of ALL the damage!!! ALL of it!! Radiator, engine....everything!! It is amazing what prayer can do and how God can work in your life!!:)

Family Time

We have had a very busy weekend! We had so much fun on Halloween and then yesterday we went to my father-in-law's for family time with Mark's grandmother, Genny, and his sister Marla. We finally got to meet our new baby neice, Peyton also. She will be 2 months on November 4th and McKade is 4 and a half months. It is so nuts seeing the difference between them. I know in a few more months they will notice each other a little more. Mavery loved holding her and is now asking if she can have a baby sister, too!! LOL! We got to spend time with Mark's grandmother also. She is here visiting from California. This was her first time to meet both McKade and Peyton, I think she really enjoyed holding both of them and playing babies for the day. Peyton is such a sweet baby, she didn't cry unless she wanted to eat and she was just so content letting everyone hold her. It was fun taking pictures of them, even though McKade just kept having little meltdowns. He did not like 4 people in his face snapping pictures. It was a little overwhelming for him. Here are some really great pics we got.....

RockStar Ballerina and the Bear Cub......

We had a really fun Halloween!! Mavery was a Rockstar Ballerina and McKade was a little Bear cub. You can't really tell from these pics about his costume because he was really tired and didn't want to let go of his pacifier.:) Mavery and McKade went with our friend Erin and Jerods kids Hayden and Dylan, and our friend Michelle and Brad's little boy, Brayden. They were all very cute!! Hayden was a Motorcross Racer, Dylan was a Army guy, and little Brayden was a Giraffe. They had so much fun trick or treating, there were alot of houses all decorated and very spooky. There was even a house where a couple had gotten married dressed as the bride of Chucky and Chucky. Crazy!! LOL!! Well here are some pics of the kiddos.........

Bad Kitty

So, the other day our cat Manx was really bad. REALLY BAD! He had to spend the day outside I was so mad at him. But anyway, that evening he was allowed back in the house, even though I was still quite mad. Mavs and I were getting ready to go to the store and I had McKade sitting on the floor in his Bumbo, when Manx came walking toward us, well I didn't want him near me (still angry) so I said "Bad Kitty!" and shooed him away, well McKade thought this was HILARIOUS! He laughed every time I said it and I mean he was laughing so hard, he had Mavery and I laughing to the point I was in tears. It was so cute. Well we have now figured out he loves "Bad Kitty!" he laughs every time we say it! Anyway, I didn't catch the first time on video but here is a cute one and you can see him laugh a few times. (His poor PJ sleeves are a little big!)

Bumbo

Mark came home today with a Bumbo for McKade. And, yes it is purple! Lol! We have not been able to find a blue or green one, and every time we go we always find purple. Oh, well he is only 4 months old, I don't think he minds about the color. He was so cute sitting in it, but he had no clue what to do with his hands, he kept his arms out the whole time like he was trying to balance!! Too funny! Here are some pics...........

Sleepy boy

I took these pictures the other night....McKade was sooooo very tired! He was having so much fun in his bouncer, he was cooing and talking, it was so cute. After a few minutes I noticed it got kind of quiet, I noticed his little head was down. I just knew he had dosed off! But as soon as I took a couple of pics his little head popped back up and he started trying to bounce again. Sweet little man! Then he went off to bed, where he was very happy to get snuggly with his blankets.




McKade dosing in his bouncer!!

Ready for bed...look at those sleepy eyes!
