Barrett - Three Months

January 26, 2020

Barrett! You are THREE months old.  I'm so excited for you! 
You're a very content and sweet little guy.  You smile ALL THE TIME (I think you may just be the happiest of my three) and don't fuss unless you're tired. You cry when you wake up from your naps in your crib but as soon as I open the door and start talking to you, no matter how hard you were crying, you instantly stop. I would say I'm probably your favorite person, currently, but that's probably just because you hang out with me more than anyone else in the house.
You have these big DARK eyes which is so different than your siblings who have big light blue eyes.  Super cute all the same just getting used to looking at dark eyes vs. blue eyes.  Jury is still out on your hair color. I don't know your weight or length but you're in 3-6 month clothes and size three diapers. Your head seems really huge and has a flat spot still on your back right side. I asked your doctor about it at 2 months old and they said they would check again at 4 months. I know its because I just loved your siblings perfectly round heads a little too much.  I'm getting paid back 😂
You follow the eat - play - sleep schedule. You eat 4-6 ounces each bottle and drink about 25 ounces per day. You spit up maybe once a day and it's not a lot. You had your first drop of drool the other day. You sweat A LOT when you sleep just like your siblings. You rarely use your Paci any more and just spit it out. You're rocking a slight rash/dry skin on your face.  You can't see it but I can just feel it.
You sleep about 10 hours every night. Last night you went to bed at 8:10 and slept until 6:15. You ate 6 ounces and then woke up for the day at 8:30.  You don't always go back to sleep though.  Depends on if it's a weekend or weekday and we need to be somewhere or if you just don't want to fall back asleep.  In a perfect world you would take three one hour naps and one 2-3 hour naps.  It's what your little body needs but you don't always do it.  That's what you do about 60% of the time. Other times you'll take 4 one hour naps. And other times still you'll throw in some short naps just to keep me on my toes.  When you do a long nap I have no idea when that will occur or if we'll be home when you want to do it. I'm excited for you to be older and have a more predictable nap schedule.
You're really happy.  You are super great at tummy time. You've been rolling front to back for a long time and are now showing signs of wanting/trying to roll back to front. You love your hands right now and chew on them all day long.  It's really cute. You talk a lot and have real belly laughs.  We can tickle you or talk to you and you'll give us a real laugh.  Then, if we laugh you'll laugh some more. You really like standing up and feel so big and just talk and talk when I stand you up.

Barrett's Bear & Travel Inspired Nursery Reveal

January 6, 2020

I did minimal changes in the nursery to transition it from Milam's nautical nursery to Barrett's travel/bear inspired nursery.  I bought a new crib sheet, a new pillow for his chair, added a few things to the collage wall, and changed out the art above the crib.  That's all.  It still needs to cornice boards above the windows and crown molding.  Some day we will get a lot of projects done.  Someday.

Sheet // Name Sign // Pillow // Lyrics // 

The paint color is Hale Navy by Benjamin Moore (flat) mixed at Home Depot.  Milam's big boy room is the same color.  I linked a few things above

New Year // New Decade

January 2, 2020

I just cannot get over the fact that we are starting a new decade.  It feels so great to know we are done having kids and in our forever home and can just focus on having fun as a family. I can't wait to watch my babies grow, to travel as a family, to finish our remodel, to see how me and Jonathan's careers grow.  I'm really excited!  Plus, Jonathan and I started dating in 2000 so were are closing in on our 20th year together! Here is a quick recap of the past 10 years.

2010
We went to Barcelona and Lisbon
2011
Georgia was born
2012
Got into our groove with parenting a fiery little girl and Jonathan became assistant principal.
2013
Moved to Conroe and celebrated our 5th anniversary! I also started Emily Powell Photography.
2014
Lost a baby this year in May. I would have been due in January. This baby, who I thought was a boy, would have been 5 this month. We also bought the ugliest house on the street in our favorite neighborhood.  We still haven't finished our reno all these years later but it looks a heck of a lot better than this!
2015
Lost another baby in May who would have been due in December. This baby would have been 4 last month. Jonathan also built us a chicken coop and we got chickens and fresh yard eggs!
2016
Our precious, miracle boy, Milam was born! Jonathan also became associate principal and Georgia started Kinder.  It was a big year (and all in August!)
2017
Loved being a family of four
2018
Really enjoyed traveling more now that Milam was a bit older.  Starting taking a lot more trips.
2019
Barrett surprised the heck out of us this year. (While writing this it occurred to me that I've been pregnant five times in the past 10 years...which sounds insane).  Our family of FIVE is officially complete.
