Poor Cyris was tortured today. He had to get a haircut and a bath!! Usually we take him to the groomer but it costs money and they never do what we ask so this was his first home hair cut. This a a picture of before, he is supper shaggy and no longer white

Here is the after picture, all white and soft and fuzzy! Greg did the hair cut and for having no idea what he was doing it looks pretty good!

Our little baby is 3 months old!! How did that happen, how does time go by so quickly? Here is a picture of him and one week old when he weighed just over 7 lbs

and here he is at 3 months. He is getting to be a little chunk!

He now weighs 14 lbs (63rd percentile) and is 23.75 inches (40th percentile)! We love this little guys so much! This past week and a half he has done the most amazing thing, he only wakes up once at night!!! I thought this day would never come. Before he would wake up 4-6 times, 2-3 times between 2 and 3 am and 2-3 times between 5 and 7 am. I am so glad we bought a sound machine, it has made a world of difference!

Greg and I are enjoying being together all the time. We both have really laid back schedules this semester. I only have to go to teach labs on Monday and Tuesdays until March 1st when my two classes start and Greg decided Graduate school just wasn't for him so he is working on spiffing up his resume and applying for jobs. I am really excited and nervous to begin this new phase of our lives. I am nervous because of everything says how hard it is to find a job and just the whole how do you actually go about applying for one, etc. I know that the Lord is with us though and will guide us to where we need to be. Who knows what will happen this year and where we will end up, it is pretty exciting!

On occasion Cyris likes to lay near the baby. mostly because he felt bored that nobody would play with his goose any more.
Emmett is a champion at holding his head up. Sometimes he will lose control and become a bobble head, it is pretty cute
Here he is Mr. Happy Baby. This was after a week of screaming everytime it was time to feed him. It didn't matter what position I fed him in, if it was way before he was suppose to eat again or right on time. We took his temperature every 3 hours, and he wasn't sick. That was a week of a lot of frustration on the parents part. Luckily that seems to be passed now or I might have had to be taken to the Loony bin!
Emmett gets a bottle once a day so he stay well practiced for when I have to teach labs and go to class. He was holding onto Daddy's finger, so cute!


These are just a glimpse of the silly, happy guy he usually is

Shortly after Christmas Cyris destroyed his most prized possession, a toy known simply as wheezy ball. We had been fearing this day and had started to look for replacements. After much searching we thought we found some winners, only to behold what one day of Cyris can do to a toy. the original weezy ball was found in the yard when we moved here and lasted six months, we are currently still looking for a replacement.

On the 7th Emmett new little cousin Hazlee was born! We got to see her on Sunday, she is pretty darn cute!! I love to see all my friends and families new little babies but don't worry it isn't making me baby hungry, we won't be having another one for 3 or 4 years and no that will not change, trust me!
