Tyler-isms

Tyler says the funniest and most random things and I don't want to forget this cute stage. I decided to dedicate a blog post to write down all of the fun things he says so I don't forget! 

-"Every time I put on my boots it makes me feel proud." 

-"Mommy, do you toot?"

-"Mommy, you are Pampers Swaddlers. I saw that on a commercial."

-"What did you learn at church today?" "God has big muscles just like me!"

-"Mommy I need a friend to play with." "Tyler you are Mr. Social." "No mommy, I'm a MAN!"

-Tyler looked at Eisley and said "You're beautiful!" Melts my heart :)

-Tyler found a screw on the back porch and brought it to me. I said "Thanks Tyler" and he responded "You're welcome my precious!" 

-"Mommy I have boobies too but they don't make milk." 

-"The couch is really dirty. You need to lawn mower it."

-"Mommy, I really love you. I love you so much so lets do something together like watch TV." 
-"I love you but I love daddy more. He likes to wrestle."

-"Daddy told me if you see someone with a big tummy don't tell them they look like Santa because it hurts their feelings." (3 1/2 years old)

-A couple weeks ago I was watching the Taylor Swift music video for "Out of the Woods" on my phone. I let Tyler watch it with me but he was only interested for about 10 seconds. Today the song "Out of the Woods" came on the radio and out of no where Tyler said "Hey mom! Is that Taylor Swift? We watched that video when we were at Mimi's house!" (3 1/2 years old)

-We were playing an animal guessing game in the car where one of us tells clues and the other guesses the animal. Tyler clues were "They have hips and no toenails." I asked him if he had "hips" and he said "No I have hands!" I guess he was meaning the animal has hooves! (3 1/2 years old)

-Eisley was pulling on my hair and Tyler said "Mommy, maybe she is trying to pull out your grandma hairs!" (week before he turned 4)

-On Tyler's 4 year old birthday we were putting him to bed and reading a Bible story. He stopped Brian in the middle of the story and said "Daddy, when I get older I'm going to get a big penis." 

-"Mommy I love the sister you got me at the hospital." (4 years old)

Eisley-1 Month

Wow...it is hard to believe that we have been a family of 4 for a entire month! I know I am her mommy but I think Eisley is just the cutest little thing. 

Brian and I have come to the conclusion that we just make babies that like to cry...a lot! Her best time of day is typically the morning and early afternoon. After 4 pm there is no telling how the day will go. For example, last night she screamed from around 9-midnight. Yep..not so fun. Because Tyler was such a hard baby I feel more prepared this time around. That doesn't mean that its easy but I do feel less stressed and frantic when she is fussy. 

She is such a good eater and in fact Dr. Berkowitz was surprised at how quickly she not only gained but surpassed her birth weight by her 2 week check up. She has the cutest leg rolls :). I feel like she already look so much bigger than she did when she was born. It is crazy how quickly babies change! We did start trying bottles and she has done great! I think she just enjoys eating and doesn't really care where it comes from or how she gets it. I am so thankful for this because Brian and I are heading to Mexico in a couple months without our kids and I needed her to take a bottle. 

We are slowly getting back into our normal routine and getting out more and more. I still am trying to be careful just with all the sickness going around. We have gone on a few walks, to Target, the park, and MOPS meetings. She has done great even if it does take us about 20 minutes to get loaded up and in the car :). 

We love you so much Eisley and can't wait to watch you grow up! 

Weight: 9lb 5oz (as of 2 weeks..not sure how much she weighs now)

Food: Breastfeeding every 3 hours during the day and 3-4 hours at night. Typical feeding schedule is 6am, 10am, 1pm, 4pm, 7pm, 10pm, and 2am. She has reflux like her big brother did so she is taking medication twice a day for that and it seems to help. 

Clothes: Newborn, 0-3 months, we already moved up to size 1 diapers

Likes: being held by her mommy (sweet but kills my back!!), sleeping in the swing, being in the k'tan, looking at the tv, being held and wrapped up in my robe.

Favorite Mommy Moment: I love having a little girl and seeing all the pink! It is so fun looking through her clothes even though she pretty much stays in pjs :). 

Here are some pictures from our first month with Eisley!
