We had a baby, it's a boy

We had a baby, it's a boy. I take tons of pictures of him because he's ADORABLE, but I have yet to document anything. Fast forward 20 years when Malachi asks what he was like as a baby and I give him a blank stare........ I don't have much time these days to retro create posts, but I will some day.

Here's all about Malachi at 3 months!

Weight: 15lb 7oz (my largest baby)

Routine: We have a pretty standard routine as of right now. Malachi is the last one up in the morning, he is not a fan. Then he likes to eat every 2-2.5 hours during the day. On a good day he takes a longer afternoon nap. He nurses for about 45 minutes at nighttime. Then, he sleeps.

Sleep: HE SLEEPS! He wakes up usually around 5am, last night was 6am. Then he goes right back down until I force him awake in the morning. The first month with Malachi was rough at night and now he is a dream! He also likes to sleep in his rock n' play for night time and his crib for naps.

Eating: He loves to nurse! I can't wait for his daytime feedings to spread out a bit. Right now I send him with a bottle while I am at work so I get a short break from breastfeeding all day. He also does not take a pacifier and finds his thumb great to chew on.

Likes: Malachi likes toys to bat at and being held. He loves when his brothers pay attention to him. Movement and walks. He loves to go for walks even when it's cold outside. If he does have a fussy day, I know a 5 minute walk will make him fall asleep fast.

Dislikes: Tummy time, he lasts about two minutes before he can't take it anymore. This month Malachi also got a horrible rash and was very uncomfortable, so he wants to be help most of the time.
He doesn't really LOVE the swing, he tolerates it sometimes, but he'd rather be in his bouncy seat.

The stowaway

The beginning of January Daniel and I packed up Nathan, and our best friend Joanna and headed to Florida for two weeks. We stayed with Daniel's mom in Daytona Beach for a few days. Then, my parents met us so we could all go on a cruise together; 5 glorious days of fun and food. We had a great time. Lots of sun, sand, and being waited on. We loved it. And now, it turns out, we're going to have a permanent souvenir from our trip. We brought back a stowaway....in my womb. That's right, baby Goulet #2 is on the way. I'm due October 3. Exactly three weeks before Nathans 2nd birthday. All I can say is if baby #2 looks or acts like this guy, my heart's going to explode. Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

Warning: Cute overload ahead.

Ode to our awesome friend, Jenna. Jenna is our incredibly funny, caring and all around wonderful neighbor. Not only can she sing, play guitar, have great hair and tie a scarf in 25 different ways, she also can take awesome pictures. Like the pictures that she took of me while I was 9 months pregnant, anyone that can make a hugely pregnant woman look comfortable deserves a medal. She took this belly picture of me: Jenna is also chronically Nathan's growth. She came over the other night to take some Christmas card/one month old pictures. Let's just say that Nathan is not the easiest subject to work with. You have to work around the fact that he doesn't focus, has little head control, and favors looking to the right. Despite these challenges Jenna just sent us these pictures. I can barely handle the cuteness, it makes me temporarily forget the 51 pound weight gain, weeks of puking, and hours of labor. This face makes me become delusional enough to think of how many

Our family Christmas

Here is the Christmas dilema when both parents in a family are pastors and need to be at church most of the Christmas weekend...when does our family do presents??? Answer - whenever we want :) Daniel and I decided that we love traditions and we are enjoying creating new ones for our family. One of the traditions that we are going to do with our family is to surprise our kids with the present part of Christmas. We really want Christmas day to be about Jesus being born. So we thought it would be fun as they get older to pick a day for us to open presents, then surprise the kids as to when it is. This year, we decided to have our family Christmas on Friday because its our usual family day anyway. I also decided that it would work better for our schedule to set up and wrap some last minute presents during nap time. So when the boys woke up from their naps we had a present party. Nathan's big gift was a kitchen with play food. Nathan is really interested in cooking and loves t
