Blake's 2 Month Well Visit

Monday December 1st, Blake turned 2 months old, so on Tuesday Blake had his 2 month well visit with Dr. Hulsen.  Blake was measured, weighed, and vaccinated.  My poor baby did not like the shots at all!  He screamed so hard and so long his left eye is bloodshot!  Blake measured 21 and 1/2inches long, placing him only in the 10th percentile for height.  Blake weighed 11lbs 6oz which places him in the 55th percentile for weight.  Dr. Hulsen is not concerned with Blake's length at this time.  She said he will grow!

My little Blakey has been smiling and cooing like crazy!! He loves to tell anyone stories that will sit and talk to him.  Nana is especially his favorite person to talk to though.  My little man is becoming so strong too!  He can hold his head up great and will roll over during tummy time.  Blake loves getting his hair blowed dried after his bath.  It is so funny to watch his crazy hair fly all over the place, while he is smiling and enjoying the warm air!

I may be biased, but Blake is one beautiful baby!!

A few Christmas tree pictures too!  Blake became tired towards the end of pictures, so he took a little snooze in the chair by the tree.

Happy 2 months baby Blake!  I can't wait to see what is in store for you in the future.  Well yes I can wait, I don't want you growing up too fast!

Christmas Tree Silhouettes

I've seen a lot of pictures on Pinterest with kids and their Christmas tree, so I wanted to try and recreate them.  Has anyone of heard of Pinterest fails?  If not, you have to google them.  They're hilarious.  Most of the attempts I have made at Pinterest ideas do not turn out, but I'm pretty happy with these pictures.  I had to bribe the boys with a few Oreo cookies, but they did well.

So without much ado........

Blakey boy is too little to have silhouettes taken by himself, so I took a few pictures with him.  Nolan wanted a picture taken with me too.

Nolan was the only one who would stand still long enough for a close-up silhouette.

I am absolutely in love with this picture of Nolan and Carter!!  Carter is always looking up to his big brother and this picture captures Carter's admiration for Nolan.

Some individual shots of my boys!

My models were adorable, so not too shabby for an amateur!

A Trip to the Christmas Tree Farm

On Tuesday Bill and I took the boys to Daniken Tree Farm to chop down our Christmas Tree.  Papa, Nana, and Aunt KK met us at the tree farm, so they could pick out their tree too.  Nana stayed in the warm car with baby Blake, since it was so cold outside.  Thanks Nana for hanging out with Blake, so I could snap some pictures and help Bill pick out our tree.

Papa went fancy this year and picked out the new "white" Christmas tree.  Nolan helped Papa cut down the tree with the saw.

Carter had fun walking around and exploring all of the different trees.  It took Bill and I a little longer to find the perfect tree, but we found one.  I told Bill we needed to go bigger this year since last year's tree was short.  We found the perfect tree for our house.  Carter helped Bill cut our tree down.

Family picture minus Blake because it was so cold outside.

We made a safe trip home and unloaded the Christmas tree.  Nolan and Carter love to help open up the boxes of decorations and decorate the tree.  Nolan cut the string off of the tree with his "zizzors"

 The boys had their stockings on their feet, running around the house, saying "boots, boots, boots!"  Crazy kiddos.

I took a few pictures of my boys because they're so darn cute!!

Daddy putting on the finishing touches and our tree is done!

Thanksgivings 2014

Wow, Thanksgiving came and went pretty quickly.  Our first family feast took place the Sunday before Thanksgiving at G.G. and Grandpa Tub's house.  The food was delicious and the boys had a lot of fun being chased around the house by their aunts and cousins.  Nolan, Carter, and Blake are the only great-grandchildren on the Chesser side, so they soak up all the attention they receive!

I was a little preoccupied with eating and feeding Blake, so I didn't take as many candid photos as I usually do.  I did however manage to take some family photos.  Thanks to Aunt KK for being patient with the silly boys while taking pictures.

Nolan and Carter truly have a brotherly bond.  All of Nolan's drawings from school have Carter in them.  Nolan even listed Carter as his best friend on the school questionnaire.  It melts my heart to see the love my boys have for each other!

Since, Blake is still little and the flu has been going around, Bill and I held Thanksgiving dinner at our house on Thanksgiving day!  Donna, Rick, Uncle Joe, G.G., and Grandpa Tub came and helped us celebrate.  The only picture that was taken was of the cups Nolan personalized for everyone.  Nolan was proud of himself for being able to help out.
