Listen to this...

Five months!

Wow, I'm super late posting this month's picture too! Lol! Zeke is the sweetest, happiest boy! Currently he is rolling all over, jabbering/cooing all the time and my favorite thing is, he sucks on his two fingers on his right hand when he's falling asleep. It's sooo cute!  Love this little boy with all of my heart!

(And look at his feet! AAHHH! He just kills me with his cuteness!)

 

4 Months!

So, I just realized I forgot to post Zeke's four month shot in August and now he's almost 5 months! ACK! STOP GROWING! Lol!

Here's my beautiful, happy boy! Love him sooooo much!

3 Months!

Sweet baby Zeke turned three months on the 21st, time is flying! I love this little man and I am so, so thankful for him! Could he BE any cuter?! :)

One month and an update

Hi Everyone! Sorry I've been MIA the last couple of weeks.  Things were going SO WELL with little Zeke and I was just getting back on my feet after the c-section and then I was hit with a very severe case of vertigo.  I'm not sure if anyone of you have ever had it but it is the scariest, most horrible thing I've ever experienced.  Basically, the whole world spins out of control and I can't move at all without vomiting.  Not a good to happen when you have a newborn baby.  Anyway, I had it before two years ago so I'm back on the meds that should help.  Please pray this never comes back! I'm still not back to normal but I'm getting a bit better each day. 

Okay, enough about that ugly stuff! :) On to something super cute - Zeke! Today he is one month old! Can you believe how fast time is going?  He is such a sweet baby and I'm so happy and thankful for him! 

(I made the onesie after seeing a tutorial on Susan Weinroth's blog.)

 

So proud of you tree x 2

Hi everyone!  Thanks for stopping by today!  Everything is going so well with my sweet little baby boy but he is definitely keeping me very busy!  I have two cards to share today that I made before he was born but first, how about some baby eye-candy? :)

One week old little Zeke -

Two weeks old -

Isn't he so precious?  I'm so in love with him!

Okay, enough cuteness, onto the cards! :)  Both of these use the Leafy Tree image and So Proud of You sentiment from A Muse.  Paper and notecards are also A Muse. 

Enjoy!

I'd like to introduce...

Ezekiel Leonidas Stilwater, born on April 21st at 8:43 a.m.  He was 6 lbs. 11 oz and 18.5" long.  He is the sweetest little peanut and we are so in love!  Thank you for all of your prayers and well wishes!

Love,

Mama Katie :)

Indoor summer fun - Finger Paints

Since it's CrAzY hot here and I don't have a car at the moment to go anywhere, we've been spending a lot of time indoors. And after about 3 days of this, we're I'm starting to go a little crazy and I can't handle the boys watching one more movie or Isaiah playing anymore video games.  So, I totally copied my friend Valerie who made body paint for her kids a few weeks ago and we made finger paints today! It was soooo fun!  Here's the recipe that I used.  The only thing about it, is that it says to cook it for 10-15 minutes but it only took about 5 for me.  And once it starts to thicken, pull it off the stove 'cause it gets REALLY thick really fast. 

Here's what it looked like after we added the food coloring (which we did while it was still hot, btw.)

 

Here's me and Izy after we painted our "Indian war paint." :) And our very serious faces! Oh, and by the way, I didn't fix my hair today and have no product in it so ignore it! Lol!

 

Izy's full body paint - (Okay, I've been trying for 15 minutes to get this picture right side up and it's straight in the photo editing software and in the files but for whatever reason, it's sideways when I post it so I'm just going to leave it.) :)

 

    

Theo painting with it -

 

And here's Izy's picture (Theo destroyed his before I could snap a photo of it - no surprise there! But I love his chubby little hands holding the picture down. So cute!)

 

Anyway, there ya go! Hope this gives you a fun idea to try out with your kiddos.  This was really fun! Not all of our crafty adventures work out but this one was a blast and I will definitely be doing it again! Yay for non-toxic, home made paint! :)

 

It seemed like a good idea at the time.

Apparently Theo thinks it's a completely awesome idea to jump in the bathtub fully clothed. Last time he hopped in with a sweater, long sleeve shirt, jeans, socks and shoes on.  Thankfully this time, he only had his jammies on.  (And just FYI, the reason there was still water in the tub was because when he got out earlier from his bath, he took off running so I busy chasing a wet, naked baby and forgot to pull the drain, hee-hee!) And to document this GREAT (said very sarcastically) habit of his -

 

Although, could he BE any cuter???

Voting is close!

Hi Everyone! The voting for the photo contest is very close so if you haven't voted, I would LOVE it if you would head on over and vote for the picture of Isaiah and Theo!  I really want to win! Here's the link.  Vote people, vote!! :) (And if you don't know what I'm talking about then scroll down two posts to see the details.)

Halloween Cuteness

Oh man, get ready for some serious cuteness!  We had a great time Trick-or-treating in The Dalles, OR (about an hour from where we live) with my parents.  We went to a newer development in the rich part of town and Isaiah hit the candy mother-load!!

My tough fireman-

Funny stuff...

I was out late last night so Stacy (my husband) got the boys ready and put them to bed.  When Isaiah got up this morning, he had on some cotton yellow little shorts and I thought, "hhmmm, those are cute but I've never seen him wear them before."  Upon closer inspection, I realized they were a pair of Theo's 0-3 month PANTS that I've been looking everywhere for!! (Isaiah is five.) Stacy must have thought they were Isaiah's jammy shorts and put them away in his drawer when he folded the laundry and then pulled them out last night.  Isn't that hilarous?!! And it was a great visual as to how much longer Isaiah's legs are than Theo's! 

11 weeks

Wow!  I can't believe Theo is already 11 weeks old.  Yes, it's a cliche but time does really fly.  Seems like just yesterday we were heading into the hospital at 5 a.m. to bring the newest member of our family into the world.  I can't say enough how much I LOVE having two boys.  And getting to see Isaiah as a big brother...well, there's nothing sweeter.  Life is good! 

Here's Theo at 3  days old and then today...

He's growing so much!  We love our chunka-lovin'!

Officially the cutest thing ever!

Okay, how stinkin' cute are my boys?  Thanks to Aunty Heidi for the matching "My Dad Rocks" jammies.

Smiley boy

Here's my big 9 1/2 week old boy.  Doesn't he look just like Daddy?!

Sleep...

...or lack there of.   Why is it, that whenever the boys are sleeping, and I decide to set aside my HUGE list of to-do's and try to catch a few winks myself, they suddenly wake up?!  And of course, if I would've decided to tackle that monsterous pile of laundry in front of the dryer or clean the bathroom instead, they would've slept for hours.  I guess life would be too easy if they always slept when I wanted them to :)

Exhausted...

I couldn't find Stacy or Theo so I checked in our room and this is what I found...

My two sweet boys

Here is proud big-brother Isaiah holding baby Theo at the hospital.
