Santa has been spotted!

On our daily walk with Papa at the mall we saw SANTA! There is a girl named Avery who was ecstatic to see him! She said hi to him and got to take a picture with him. She was so excited! 

Jax is 2 months old

TWO months old

It's a bittersweet time. Sad that he is already two months and happy he is growing out of this crying unhappiness stage! We have been dealing with reflux and trying to get the right mix for him. He has been doing well the last week or so! We are crossing our fingers we have found something that works!

Jaxon had his 2 month check up on Friday and he is GROWING! He is one healthy little/big boy! He is 16lbs and 26 inches long! And boy do my arms feel every pound :-) He is my adorable sack of potatoes and love every bit of him!

Halloween 2014

This year was a bit different for us! The girls picked out their costumes a while ago! This was a great thing for our wallet so we didn't wait till the last second! BUT, the kids then asked every min when Halloween was so they could wear them! Avery asked maybe 5 times a day :-) 

Avery chose to be Elsa and Madison chose to be Ana! If anyone isn't aware, they are sisters from the movie Frozen! 

The girls got all bundled up under the their dresses and put on the wigs. The wigs didn't last long as they wouldn't stay on their head. Tj went with his brother, sisters and mom and took the girls trick or treating! I stayed back with our little monster, Jaxon! It was too cold, he was too young and it would interrupt our night time routine. Next yr he will be ready! 

The kids got a huge bucket of candy and we didn't get one person! I had two big buckets...Now we have way too much candy in our house :-) 

My two pumpkins and little monster on Halloween Morning!

Jaxon working on his pick up lines!!!

Apple Picking 2014

As per tradition we pack up the whole Kvilhaug clan (minus Shelbie) and went to Afton Apples! It was very windy and COLD (well I was...haha)! Jaxon sat in the carrier like a champ and slept the whole time! The kids loved picking the apples, playing on the playground and feeding the animals! Avery would have fed the animals all day long if we let her...she is a big animal lover. All in all we got some good apples and had another memorable year at the orchard! See you next year Afton Apples :-) 

Getting Cold

Now that it's getting cold it's time for some winter hats! 

As you can tell he isn't too sure of the hat! 

Practicing Sitting

I caved in and bought a bumbo seat with Jax! I want him to practice sitting and strengthen up but also want to give my arms a break from carrying him all the time :-) He isn't small and my arms need a break even for a few mins! 

Smiling

Mister Ol' Man has been smiling more and we are finally catching a few smirks! I am thrilled that he is showing happy smiles rather than always being mister crab pants! 

Energy Powers!!

Avery has the best imagination! She makes me laugh so much with the things she comes up with and thinks about! I hope she stays this innocent forever! 

Lately when we go for walks she always talks about how much energy she has! Then all of a sudden I noticed my hair binders everywhere. I asked her why they were out of the bathroom. She said to me, "Mom, they are for my energy powers!" 

I could really use those energy powers ;-) 

It has now become an everyday accessory! She is something and just love it! 

Sunday Picture Day :-)

Just another Sunday with sibling picture day! The girls ask to hold Jaxon all the time so I took the opportunity to snap some photos!

Hope everyone had a good weekend! 

And because this facial expression of Jaxon is hilarious. He will be angry with me when he is older!!! 

Fall Walk

After cleaning the house I thought let's get out of here and enjoy the weather before gross winter comes. The girls got their running shoes on and I loaded Jax up in the jogging stroller and off we went! Jax was awake the whole time and did not cry till the last 5 min. The girls played at the park and enjoyed the fresh air! It was a nice and much needed! 

Someone Turned the Big 6!!!!

Can't believe that our Madison Jo is 6!!! 

She has had a great week of little celebrations! She has also been a trooper as she seemed to not be able to get rid of her cold. She ended up staying home from school on Wednesday and went to the doctor. With some rest and over the counter medicine and nebulizer for a couple days she should be back to normal! She did go back to school on her birthday and she was extatic!!! She got to bring a special treat to share, said her name on the loud speaker, friends saying happy birthday...she was one happy girl! We asked her where she wanted to eat for dinner! She could pick wherever she wanted and she picked Applebee's. She loves that they sing and give her a sundae for bdays!!! She was in heaven :-) 

All in all she had a low key but special 6th birthday. 

Thanks to all our friends and family who helped make her birthday special with kind wishes, gifts and cards! She is one very lucky girl!! 

Too Tired

"Some days it's just easier to sleep where ever I am!"

 Just finished changing old mans diaper and wham he just dosed off on the floor. Too much work for him :-) Too funny! 

Those Dimples

The girls have dimples and love them! Jaxon has some serious dimples and they are too cute not to share! 

1 month

Jaxon is now one month old! 

It has been a busy, adjustment, hectic, tiring, crazy, exciting and loving month! 

He is trying to find his place in the world and figuring things out.  

He is a sweet boy with a bit of crying fits! 

If he isn't eating or sleeping he is crying. 

He likes to be bounced when awake! 

He will tolerate tummy time for a short time and then is done! 

He loves to take baths

He has poor baby acne

He has sensative skin and had to change to sensitive diapers and detergent. 

He loves to lay on people's chest while he is curled up. 

He wears a size 1 diaper

He is in 0-3 month clothes. His 3 month sleeper jammies (with feet) are almost getting too short. He is a long boy! 

He does pretty well in his car seat and carrier! 

His sleep schedule is still not exciting but hopefully will get better as he gets older! He is only a month old :-) 

We just love him and can't wait for him to show his personality! 

Here are some pictures from this past month...starting with the most recent ones!
