It's Official. We have a Porker!

I weighed him last night - 12 pounds 2 ounces. Time to get out the next size baby clothes!

Keeping Up with the Mavys

Yesterday Ben's dad, Chris, told me that Jason and Ruth get points for keeping their blogs up to date, so in true Mavy fashion I have accepted the challenge to compete for the most up to date blog in the family. Actually, I just don't feel like doing the dishes right now.
We're adjusting pretty well to having another male in the house. Then again, he's not taking up time and space in the bathroom yet. We girls might not feel so indulgent once he starts taking 30 minute showers like his daddy.
Honestly, though, Nathan is a wonderful baby. I didn't even have to cut my hair this time to get all the baby puke out of it! He nurses a lot less often, probably because he's not throwing it up all over me and the carpet, and he's growing quickly for one of our kids. He's 11.5 pounds already! He smiles and coos on demand now, and loves to watch the girls playing. I'm sure he can't wait to start driving monster trucks through their barby towns.

Here he is at 2.5 weeks


We got some nice weather the last week in January, so I took the girls to the park a couple times. We all needed to get out in the sun.
Sadie and Liberty calling the ducks - "here duck, duck!" Eve is scared of them since she got bit pretty badly by a goose a couple years ago.

Liberty's so cute! She and the big girls play together at night until they conk out. Sometimes they don't quite make it into their beds.

Here's the boy talking to his mobile today. He's 5 weeks old already!
