Three

Three has been quite an adjustment.
Definitely harder than two.
But totally worth it.

Jaelee is 7 weeks old.
Her most favorite thing to do is play dress-up and model for the camera.








I'd say she does a pretty good job.

She's a great baby.
She has slept through the night 4 or 5 times now. Awesome.
All she really does every day is the norm: eat, sleep, and poop. Love it.

Brayden and Aydrie love her, too.


(Tummy time is fun for everyone - except Jaelee)


Brayden loves to hold Jaelee.



He is really good at playing 'Can You Go Get...'
It's a fun game. It goes something like this:
I say "Can you go get a diaper and wipes for Jaelee?"
Brayden responds by searching the house for the wanted items.
Most times he is successful in his search.
He is a wonderful big brother. One day he pushed Aydrie on the bike for a long time. She was all giggles.


He is a BIG help!


(One day I hope to teach him how to help his sister down from high places - like on top of the table, or on top of the computer desk...)


Aydrie also enjoys playing dress up.

We have discovered curlers at our house. We love them. Even Aydrie.



She is really good at helping make cake.
(It tastes better when you're naked. ha ha)


And this is one place we find her...just chillin'.


But the MOST fun everyone has is when they get to play with Dad:




Cameron has a few weeks left of school and then starts rounds for a year. He'll experience life as a pharmacist in hospitals, retail stores, and other fun/interesting places. Although he is very busy, and often stressed, he finds time for everything - me, the kids, church calling, friends, school, and work.
He is amazing.

I'm just peachy. The first two weeks with three kids was hard.
But it's much easier now.
I'm still learning how to take all three kids out of the house on my own. Because it is a hard task, we don't make it out much unless Cam is with us.
I had a birthday. One year older - not necessarily wiser.
I passed my 6-week doctors appointment.
That means it's time to get back in shape.
P90X/treadmill/somewhat of a better diet - here I come!

Life is great.

Jaelee is adorable!!! What a cute family you guys have, I can't believe you two have had 2 kids since I have known you. You are always so happy about life and I am so amazed at how great you are at being a mom.

Welcome back to the blog world. Life is more interesting with three. She looks like a little sweetie. Do the curlers bug Aydrie - and does she sleep in them? Also do you put them in when her hair is wet? You'd think with three girls I would have tried them by now.
