Rustin's 2 Month Well Check....

Rustin had his 2 month checkup today! He weighed 13 lbs 4 oz and was 24.5 inches long!!! I about died when they weighed him! Ashlyn was only 12 lbs at her 2 month and I thought she was big! He is in the 95% for height, 75% for weight ( I think it has to be a higher % than that, 13lbs at 2 months come on) and 25% for head size, both of my kids have small heads:)

This is a video of Ashlyn and Bunny kissing and cuddling Rustin! This is Ashlyn at her gentlest. LOL

Kids Photo Shoot......

We had the kids pictures done last weekend! Ashlyn is 19 months old and Rustin is 2 months old:) Ash did pretty good, no meltdowns and we were able to keep her in the studio! Last time she kept running out to the lobby to play on the lego table.

She loves her brother:)

Chillin' on the beach

See future dancer, she always points her toes when they are off the floor:)


So happy...

Happy Fathers Day!

Rocky helps me so much with our kids. He has especially been such a help with Ashlyn so I can focus on taking care of a new baby. He puts her to bed at night, gets up with her in the middle of the night and in the morning. When he comes home from work he plays with the kids and helps give me much needed breaks. I love it because it helps keep my sanity but also because he is building strong relationships with our kids. I wish every mom could have a hubby that is as helpful and involved with their kids as Rocky is. I am so grateful for having married such a great father! Happy Fathers Day Rocky!


Rustin is a cuddly baby, he will sleep for hours if you hold him:)

Rustin and Daddy getting ready for bed.

Had to have a video of Rustin eating daddy. We have one of Ashlyn eating daddy when she was a baby too:)

Happy Fathers Day to all the great dads in our lives:)

2 Weeks Already?

Rustin turned 2 weeks old yesterday! Time goes by so fast when you aren't getting any sleep LOL! I took him to the doctor yesterday and he already weighs 8lbs 11oz!! He seriously gained 9 oz in six days? When I took him last week he weighed 8lbs 2oz and had only gained 2 oz during the week prior. I'm glad he is healthy but I still want him to stay little:)



My mom was in town this last weekend and we took the kids to the wild animal park. This is Ashlyn on the train, she loved it! Every time it would go by us she would get excited and point and say "train" and she still gets excited when she sees these pics of herself on the train!

This is us trying to get her off of the train. When we would ask her if she would like to come with us to look at the animals she would just politely say "no"


Last week my mom took her to the park in our neighborhood and there was some really nice kids there. They were eleven years old and they just loved playing with Ashlyn. Well the next day they came and knocked on our door and asked if Ashlyn could play! It made me realize how big she is getting, my little girl is growing up! For the first time she had friends knock on our door and ask if she could play. :)

Rustin Pictures....

I can't believe Rustin is already a 10 days old! He was born 2 weeks early on May 26th at 8:56am and he weighed 8lbs 5oz and was 21 inches long. The doctor was concerned that he was getting big so after I walked like thirty miles trying to go into labor we decided to get induced. The self induction just wasn't working fast enough. We walked all weekend then on Sunday night we went for a walk in our neighborhood and I was seriously running in little spurts. I'm sure that was a strange sight for our neighbors, a nine month preggo lady running down the street! After all that I was completely exhausted and I called the doctor on Monday and scheduled the induction for that night. They gave me the gel at 2:30am and he was born 6 hours later! Much faster birth than Ash! Here are some pics of him after we got him home.


Rustin likes his bath.


I love this picture. One of the few we have with his eyes open.


He loves to be bundled up!


Rocky feeding him his first bottle. Aww:)


I never want to put him down. I don't want to miss a second of his baby life:) They are just not little long enough.


Passed out on mom. It is really hard to keep him awake to feed, he just passes right out after about two minutes.


The many sleeping faces of Rustin. He got a pretty bad birth rash during the first few days but it cleared up fast and now he has beautiful skin like Ashlyn.


Passed out on mom again!


His cute little smile. Must be having a good dream:)




First walk in the double stroller that my family got us:)


I love this picture of Ashy. She looks like she has cleavage though! haha


My mom and Rustin

Here is a short video of him awake. Babies are so cute with there little spazy movements:)
