Weekend Fun...

Sweet Ivy Jane is 3 months old now. I weighed her on Thursday on Mom & Dad's produce scale...she's 15 pounds now! That's almost twice her birth weight! She is getting into a great little routine, eating well and sleeping well. I was afraid the time change might throw her off last night but she slept from 9:30-6:30! YESSS!!! I felt so good when I woke up this morning...thank you, Lord for babies that sleep! Georgia Claire continues to sleep anywhere from 11-12 or 12.5 hours a night AND takes a 2.5-3 hour nap! My sister Angie & her family were here this weekend and when she heard about Georgia's sleeping habits she said, "Is that NORMAL?! Have you talked to your doctor about that?!" to which Shelby replied, "Yes it's normal...and it's WONDERFUL!"

I had to take some pics of Miss Ivy Jane this morning in her church clothes...sweet girl. I love this first picture because it looks like she's thinking about something--"Hmmmm..."

Georgia Claire ready to go to Mother's Day Out a few days ago, in her pig tails & blue jeans. She LOVES her new booster seat!

Angie, Joe, Gabe & Will came in on Thursday. We went to the farm on Friday for a hayride...I love getting to stay home and do things on weekdays, especially with my sisters & their kids. It was COLD at the farm, it's always colder up on that hill than it is at our house. Kathy, Georgia, Mary Katherine, Angie & Will were cuddled up close together.

Despite the look on her face, Georgia Claire really DID love the hayride!
Will, Luke & Gabe...
Sweet Caroline...
On our way through the woods to go to the "Brown Lake" as the kiddos call it...just a pond in the woods with some waterfalls and good skipping rocks. It really is a beautiful little spot.
Georgia Claire got to drive with Paw Paw for a bit...
AND, she rode again with Kat...she LOVES Kathy.
A word about Will...we are amazed at how well he is doing! We all thought that he MIGHT get to come for Christmas, we never dreamed he would be on a hayride just FOUR short weeks after his surgery. He looks and SOUNDS great...better than ever! It brought tears to our eyes to see him Thursday night and to hear his breathing, no longer labored sounding or rattling, like he had in the past. Angie said she asked her church to take HIM off the prayer list and to put HER on it! Ha! He is OBVIOUSLY feeling REALLY good...she definitely has her hands full.
