Well I think I am finally getting back to normal life-other than sleep of course. Callie actually doesn't do too bad at night, but she does like to be held to sleep at night more than in the day-not sure why. I actually think adjusting from two to three is way easier than one to two-for me anyway! She will be one month on Sunday-wow! I have braved the doctor (Callie's two week) and dentist with all three in two-but have yet to brave the grocery store with all three! Ella and Roc both had their four and two checkups last week My mom came with me which helped a ton! Also I have been using a sling for Callie-which is extremely helpful. Ella is in normal height (39.75 in) and weight(34.4 lbs) range, but Roc is still in only the 10th percentile for weight (25.2 lbs now!) but is normal for height (33.5 in). Today was Ella's follow up dentist appointment so I also scheduled Roc for his first. He did great! I am still lacking in the picture department but did get some shots of Ella (she wanted me to take pictures of her doing different poses in her new dress). I think she is quite cute.
I can't believe summer is about over-Roc and Ella got to spend a lot of time at my parents pool swimming and Roc actually was quite brave. He loved to jump from the stairs to someone and would not always wait till we were ready so we really had to watch him. He also got brave last weekend and jumped off the diving board to Kevin. Once he did it once he thought it was great and would jump, get out, run to the board and do it again and again! Of course I never had my camera so did not get to capture this. If we go swimming this weekend I will be sure to bring my camera!
Oh and one more thing just in case you did not know. The reason we named Callie -Callie Jade is Ella is Ella Ruby and Roc is Joseph Roc-so we thought another "stone" would be perfect for our new little princess. Now we have a Ruby a Roc and a Jade!

Back into the Swing of Things

Life these days
So far so good around here. The kiddos really do love their new sister. They love to give her lots of kisses and hugs! We are working with Roc on being gentle with her and he is doing pretty good. Callie is doing pretty well at night-only waking up every few hours-so hopefully that will continue-She sleeps really well in the bouncy seat so that is where I put her at night. I have yet to brave the grocery store by myself with three kiddos-but did manage to get to her two week checkup and Ella and Roc were very good-so that made it very easy! Callie had already gained a pound and is in the 95th percentile for height, weight and head circumference!
My wonderful church family and sister in law Katie provided us with dinner for a whole week and this made my life so much easier and I am so thankful for all of them!
Hannah came over and did a new born photo shoot of just Callie and is going to do one of all three soon. I am excited for that. I have not looked at the pictures yet as my computer screen does not work (basically it is just very dark-i am debating over getting a new monitor or a whole new computer)-but I am sure they are great.
I am realizing I have not taken many pictures of Callie-but here is a cute one of her peacefully sleeping in the swing-as both Ella and Roc are gone now so can't bother her !! ha ha. And one of my two little girls!
