Bentley's Back in School

Yesterday Bentley's preschool had a centers day for parents to go with the kids and meet the teacher/do some activities. For the most part Bentley really enjoyed it. He was goofy as usual saying he didn't know how to do things like write his name, but did just fine with it. I didn't take a ton of pictures since it was pretty crowded, but we got a few:)

Their "sand castle" built out of blocks

His animals in the water

He wanted a picture with me but it was too bright to look at the camera so he kept turning away

Love this little man

Today was his first real day of class so we had to take a few more pictures! He loves school so much and it is great for him because the kid is super smart and has a great imagination. I can't wait to see how much he grows throughout the year!

He had to have a picture by the tree like Jax did

He wanted me to take a picture of him at school too:)

Grey's First Bath and a Trip to the Park

I haven't had a whole lot to post lately except what I have been sharing on Facebook. Grey's bilirubin has been my main source of stress over the past week and it just continues. I am still standing my ground though since he isn't at dangerous levels and there are credible websites saying that treating with formula isn't actually effective anyway. So basically we are hoping for some sun soon and going back for more bloodwork on Thursday. We went out to the park yesterday so he could get some sun and the other boys could run for a bit so of course I have pictures to share:)

Ready to go

Running ahead of me

Get these things off of me!

"Take picture me mama"

Monkey boy

He had to stand at the top for a picture and then swing off it

 Grey also got his first real bath yesterday. His cord fell off within the first week, but giving a sponge bath is just easier sometimes. He obviously wasn't pleased at first but once he warmed up a little more it wasn't as bad.

And since I have nowhere else to post more cute baby pictures here are a few more:)

Final Days of Summer

I have too many pictures piling up from the past few days! I have to say it is awesome being home again to spend more time with my kids and actually be able to take more pictures! Working 40 hours a week was not exactly how I had planned to spend my summer and I feel horrible about it, but at least it is over with.

We have kept pretty busy trying to enjoy the last days before school started for Jaxton. We have put together a 500 piece puzzle (mostly Jax and I), made sock puppets, went to the park, gone to multiple blood draws and a doctor's appt, and gone swimming at GaGa's (since our pool got a hole).

He had to make a face for this one! This puzzle was kind of a pain since there were not only 500 pieces but they were three different sizes also!

Little man has slept through most of the fun stuff

Crazy Korbin getting in trouble as usual

Waiting for brothers playing at the park

Popsicles after the park

Then getting sprayed with the hose while daddy was supposed to be filling the water table

Making sock puppets!

Naturally, their puppets wanted to fight

Taking a break from the puppets to hold Greyson

After they performed a puppet show for us

He got mad at me for something stupid and got his usual attitude that recently came about where he crosses his arms and makes a hilarious face (glaring). I told him to hold his angry face while I grabbed my camera and by then he thought he was pretty funny again. Too cute not to share though:)

"I swimming"

He asks to hold Grey multiple times a day<3 

Jax loves holding him too and doesn't rush me taking him back by any means

Jax just loved how Grey grabbed onto his finger and didn't want to let it go

Today was kind of nice to just hang out at home since it was rainy and relax a bit while Jaxton had his first day of 1st grade! It seems crazy that he is old enough for that already but he was super excited to be back in school and get away from his brothers that he claims tend to drive him crazy:) He said he likes his teacher and a lot of his friends from last year are in his class again this year so he is ready to go back tomorrow!

Quick update on Greyson too while I'm at it. On Monday his bilirubin was down to 13.1. It wasn't quite as low as his doctor would have liked, but yesterday at his appointment he said he looked great and we finally got to get rid of the bili-blanket! We have to go back one more time this week to make sure it is still going down and then we should be in the clear. He weighed in at 6lbs 7oz, which was only 1oz up from a week ago. Since it was up I was told to just make sure he is eating fine and if I have any concerns about him not gaining to get him weighed again. He still eats like a champ and was actually due to eat when we got there so I am not worried about it at all. We are still thankful for how great of a baby he has been! I managed to sneak in some time for a few pictures today and hope to get a few more done by the end of the week.

Snuggles with my baby

Here is what the bili-blanket looks like for those who don't have any clue what I am talking about. It wraps around him and has the UV lights. The cord hanging out is actually fairly heavy and made it super awkward to try and snuggle with him. Needless to say I am extra glad we are done with it!

And just a couple from today...

Now off to feed the munchkin again before he screams at me...
