One month

On thursday, the 12th, our little guy was a month old. I have no idea how that first month went by so fast. He has truly been an angel baby that has made my life with a newborn fairly easy. Now if only Lexie would decide to jump on that easy bandwagon!

Here's our little guy at one month. I decided to use the basketball so we can use it for his month pictures throughout the first year to see how much he's grown.

For two weeks we had my mom here in town to help out. She was great at entertaining the girls, she made the most awesome carseat carrier for me (which I still need to take pictures of), and we loved having her here, especially me. It's always nice to have another adult around to chit chat with, especially when it's mom.:)

The girls were sad to see her go, but luckily her and my dad will be back in a couple weeks for Jaden's blessing. YAY!

Because we have the three girls running around, we did more than sit and enjoy staring at JJ for the past month. We've been trying to keep busy and give the girls something to do so they don't kill each other. I think once school starts and they get a little break from each other during the day, that it will be a good thing for everyone!

Halli has been a wonderful "mother"/boss most of the time. Sometimes she gets too carried away, but most of the time they'll follow her around and do what she says.

They went in the back yard to play soccer the other day. Halli had a whistle, and was fully in her element telling the other two what to do.

She would blow the whistle and point, and they would run to obey her command. It's okay as long as she's nice about it, right? She'd even get in there and play with them too.

We spent a little time at the pool too. It is august in houston after all.

Halli found a frog. She's in love with those things, and every time she'd let it go in the pool, the poor thing would swim away as fast as it could, but just wasn't fast enough.

At first Peyton and Lexie were terrified of it, but Lexie got over it fairly quick.

The little guy pretty much slept through the whole thing.

I got the baby announcement's done. I've addressed some of them, but just need to finish and get them in the mail. I'm such a procrastinator.

Me and the girls made some delish "flip flop" cookies. Well, we frosted cookies to look like flip flops.

My mom put the girls to work helping clean. They love to do this sometimes, I wish I had the patience to do it more often.

We spent lots of time outside, at least we did when it wasn't unbearably hot!

Lexie was a little terrified of the thunderstorms that came through at the end of July.

She even went and found a mask cause she didn't want to see the lightning.

My sister had her 29th birthday while my mom was here. So they came over for dinner, and my mom made an amazing cake!

The girls all wanted to blow out the candles.

ALL 29 of them.

So Brittany gathered them all around,

and let them help her out.

Yeah, mom went all out doing a neopolitan cake to go with some yummy neopolitan ice cream. Now y'all know where I get it from!:)

How cool does that look?

Then we played outside some more.

How cute is this little girl? LaNea, my niece m loving the swing.

And this little guy, still slept through it all, making things a little easier for this tired mom!
