Party of 4 (kids that is)

Instead of just doing an update of Bryce I decided to include the other kids first.

Stella is obsessed with her Rain Boots she got from her best friend Lucy for Christmas!! Usually they are on the wrong feet so I'm surprised they are right in this pic. She has been working hard to keep up with the 2 big kids and her vocabulary has grown as well as her hair (which can now fit in to TINY piggy tails, happy day)!!

Weston has been busy playing soccer and being the "big" brother, he often talks about how he'll share a room with Bryce when he moves to the crib... He was able to go to a Super Hero birthday party and LOVES his cape he brought home! Although he's not the youngest next to Bryce he often acts out to get attention these days, a little frustrating but I'm hoping it will change soon :) He's always been my sweet boy.

Ashlyn also plays soccer and has been able to play on a team with 2 of her cousins, I love the picture of their names on the jersey's!! Ashlyn has loved Pre-K and has had perfect attendance this year, she came home and said "mom my teacher told me I haven't missed even ONE day of school" she was quite proud. She colors everyday and is learning to read/write! She has turned into my BIG helper and she reminds me that she "doesn't always want to do EVERYTHING"! I really do appreciate all her help, especially while feeding Bryce. Thanks Ashlyn

Bryce is now 6 weeks old, he has been sick for half of his life so far - he had cough/runny nose for 3 weeks and it is finally going away! He also has a bit of reflux burning in his throat (he doesn't projectile spit up, just arches his back) and I could tell he was in pain so we got meds for that and they seem to be helping :) He has been sleeping in his swing for 3 weeks and hopefully that will change this weekend. We are getting over the baby acne stage also which will be nice! He still scratches his face so I try to put him in clothes that cover the hands still. He has been so much fun and I have to say Stella just wants to love on him at all times - she is constantly kissing his head will start to walk away and come back and say "one more", it's really sweet! she hasn't been super jealous which is a good thing. Bryce is my first child that I've had to run multiple kids to school and pick up so he is learning to take naps in the car - this is hard for me because I'm so used to my kids being on great nap schedules! He slept for 10 hours the other night and we're hoping that will become a habit, last night it was not the case... We will be blessing Bryce March 4th since so much family will be here for Greg and Cheryl's wedding!
