Random

These are the pictures Taylor takes when I am not there to tell him not to play with the camera. Den will love that I posted this picture!! HaHa! This is a picture of the TV with his favorite movie on it, 2012. He wants to be a storm chaser when he grows up so he loves all the earthquakes and stuff in this movie. He watches it over and over again.
And yes I did just post 4 times in 10 minutes. Keep up with me or you will get left behind!


Posing in his Shorts

Syler's first day with shorts on, they were falling off all day. It was hot, like 75, but we were roasting. Taylor and Kinley were sweaty babies and Syler has followed in their footsteps, he was sweating like crazy and now his eczema looks really bad. Den is showing off his chubby tummy so you can see that we do actually feed this kid and the doctor is crazy!
Yes he does look at us like we are crazy all the time! I love his little faces!
P.S. look at Syler's finger in the 4th picture! LOL!





Syler at Practice

This is Syler at soccer practice. He was yelling/crying most of the time, I think because it was freezing that day. Den was messing around with his double chin!




Soccer Princess

Last week we were at Taylor's soccer practice and I look over and see Kinley running around playng soccer with a crown on her head. She is such a girl!

4 month appointment

Syler went to his 4 month doctors appointment today. He weighs 12 pounds 3 ounces, 5th%, and he is 24 inches long, 25th%. The doctor says he hasn't gained enough weight and I have to take him back in 3 weeks to get his weight checked again. I really think she must not pay attention to how small our family is! He eats constantly, he can't eat anymore than he already does. He is chubby like any other baby! It kind of annoys me because she makes it sound like I don't have enough milk or I am feeding him wrong or something. He just gains weight slowly, sleeping uses up a lot of calories!
He still has bad eczema on his head and everywhere else, but his head looks really bad. So she is sending us to a pediatric dermatologist but it's going to be a long wait to get in there. We are trying different medicine until then. He had to get shots today. He was very sad and is sleeping it off now.

I just ran upstairs to try and find a baby pic of Taylor because I want everyone to see how much Syler and Taylor look a like but I only have 5 month pictures of Taylor. So Taylor looks a bit chubbier and older. They still look the same but I will wait until Syler looks a little bit bigger and post a pic of each of them. You wont believe how much they look a like! I looked at Taylor's weight while I was up there to and he was 14 pounds 7 ounces at 4 months and Syler is 12 pounds so I guess there is a bit of a difference. I thought Taylor was a small baby but Syler is even smaller. He did weigh less when he was born though.

Syler really likes his new stroller. I have taken him to target twice in it and he didn't cry either time, which is a MIRACLE because he cries anytime I take him anywhere! He also didn't cry in the car this morning on the way to the doctor. Maybe he is getting better! I might be jinxing it though so we wont talk about that anymore! Someone needs to remind me to take more pictures of him. I am not very good at remembering and I know I will wish I had them when he gets older.

We were all sick again this weekend. I felt like I had the flu again! How is it possible to have the flu twice in two weeks?!! I hope this is the last of it though. I am still coughing a lot though. The other two kids are the same as always. Taylor is about to start outdoor soccer, which he loves. Kinley is doing soccer again to but she said the other day she wants to do cheerleading after soccer is over. I kind of don't like that idea though. Spring break is next week. We should probably do something fun but I don't know what yet. I have regional singing competition on Saturday, I hope we win. Kinley is going to play at Autumn's house that day. She is very excited and asks me a million times a day how much longer until she gets to go. I guess I shouldn't have told her. Den is working as usual. He is playing soccer again this season and then will be going to school in Florida sometime this summer. We will probably go stay with him while he is down there. The kids haven't been to the beach in years, since California, so they should have fun there.

4 months

Can you believe that Syler is already 4 months old??!! I can't believe it! He still sleeps all morning and is fussy in the afternoons, but he is getting better about it. I still can't really take him anywhere without him crying the whole time. He still hates the car. He does smile more though, when we are at home of course. He is getting a little bit easier. He still sleeps all night and I never even have to worry about him waking up because he doesn't, that makes me really happy. He still drives me crazy when I am trying to make dinner. He still wont take a pacifier. He still wont sit in his swing for long. He still want stay on his mat or jumper for long either. He still has pooping issues. He still has a horn growing out of his head, AKA eczema, and it's pretty bad. He loves me to hold him! He loves watching TV, which is a bad thing I guess, but whatever makes him happy! So he is still pretty much the same, but I think he is slowly, very slowly, very very slowly, starting to get a little bit easier, a little bit happier. He really does have the cutest smiles! Oh one thing he has learned that drives me crazy is he is sitting their nursing and he tries to look around now. So he eats and then stops and tries to turn his head, which doesn't work. Or he stops and lets go and smiles at me and then eats for 5 seconds and then stops and smiles at me. This really gets on my nerves because all he is doing is making a huge milk mess!!! His smiles are cute though and I guess I shouldn't laugh at him when he does it if I ever want him to stop.

He goes to the doctor for his 4 month appt. on Monday so I will update his weight and stuff then.
Here are pictures of his first time in his jumping thing, whatever it's called. I will call it a jumper. This was just yesterday, he seemed to like it a little, but not long enough for me to get anything done! His first time on his mat. He has two mats. He has been on the other one and he hates it, this one lasted like 5 seconds longer.




Stroller

I bought Syler the coolest new stroller! I love it! For some reason our strollers always break after like one use. They never turn right and they are hard to push. The stroller hasn't broken yet! He has only sat in it this one time, for his picture, and it didn't break!!! It turns so smoothly, as of right now! I hope it stays this way!

Sick

I am sick of being sick! Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday I had the flu. I thought I was going to die. Then I started feeling better Wed. but by that night I was coughing like crazy. I went to the doctor Thursday and my temp was 102, I have pneumonia now. I am still coughing up my lungs and my nose is just pouring out snot! Now Syler has the cold and he can't breath. Taylor went to his friends house Friday night and threw up there, now he has the flu. He doesn't seem too bad though. Kinley and Den haven't gotten it yet though. Hopefully they don't because I want the sickness to leave. I hope Syler doesn't get worse because it is so sad when babies are sick. My milk is really low to so I am trying to feed him a ton to get it back to normal but he can't eat very well because he can't breath.
