G is by far our hugest baby yet!  We got the green light from our new Dr. to start rice cereal.  Its definitely not a priority since he is already so big, but I think it might help his reflux, since it's getting bad again.  For the past week or so, G has been SUPER DUPER fussy.  He refuses to nurse to sleep anymore, making me feel like I have no idea how to console him.  I feel useless when he is fussy.  Super Dad/Husband actually does a better job than I do! :(  Nick has had to rock him to sleep the last 5 nights, as Griffin just screams and screams when it's me.  I feel like I am at a total loss.  Nothing seems to work to calm him down.  He basically just has to cry it out.  And if you know me, I hate that, I could never do that to my child!!

I know he is teething, I can feel the teeth bumps in hid gums...I hope those suckers pop through soon!!  He is such a good baby in the morning and once evening comes...he's out of control!! :(  I feel so bad for him!! 

I have learned NOT to hold onto any clothes because I think they might be "too big".  Several outfits I thought for sure were too big for him, are actually too small.  I could barely get his arms into one of them because his forearms are so chubby!  I don't think he was comfy in it at all.  Never wore it, and I already have to retire it!

Cupcakes!!

A big Thank You to Trisha for placing a custom order for 2 cupcake market totes!!  They turned out really really cute!

Big Muscles.

Our friends came over lasst week.  {they have a little boy just 4 months younger than Sammie}  It was pretty cute, they all took their shirts off and started flexing their "muscles" for all of us to see...

A Quilt for Baby P!!

I made 2 quilts, because they were both so cute!  The top one is for Baby P with 8 inch squares, and the bottom one is with 6 inch squares.  They both turned out really cute.  But my favorite is the top one.  It's so cute!  I only have the quilt top done, still need to sandwhich it and quilt!

Teething??

Maybe teething?  I am not sure.  There's lots of drooling going on around here.  Both boys had 2 teeth at 3 months...so I imagine it's coming soon.  But the weird part is...his gumd where the I teeth are, are swollen.  That would be weird to get those teeth first, no??  We'll see.  I hope they come quick!

{look, he's so big, he barely fits his bath tub}

{such a sad baby face!!}

Rolls.

{isn't the greatest pic}

...but you get the idea right? :)  Now you see how G and S wear the same size diapers, right?!  And now you see how my almost 4 month old can wear a size 6-12 months...and even some shirts are tight in the belly, right?!

We love our little chunker. :)

Been Busy!

I've been busy.  Sewing.  Being a Mom.  Cooking for the 3 bottom-less pits I have.  Doing anything BUT cleaning.  I need a sewing break.  Only to clean my house.  I told myself I was going to take a day off. 

And then this happened...

:)  So much for a day off huh!  Isn't it adorable?!?!  {Thanks for the order Kris!!}  And while that was happening, the sewing machine attacked my left thumb.  Literally.  Not really quite sure WHAT happened.  But my thumb got caught in the up-down motion of the needle, and it tore a big chunk of skin off...OK.  I will spare you the photo and gorey details.  But it hurts.  Like hell.  And yet I find myself back at it again today...with neosporin and a band-aid.

Bumbo!!

Griffin sat in his bumbo for the first time yesterday.  He is still a little heavy in the head for it!  Can't quite keep it up yet...but he is trying so hard to sit up these days!!
