Silly Boy

I was going through my camera pictures and I found a few of Mr. Wesley being extra silly that I had to share!

Buzz Light Year to the rescue!

I was cracking up when Wesley came down like this.  Of course he thinks I am laughing because of this goggles.

What I was laughing about was his underwear on backwards. haha!

Not sure why but all glasses end up upside down and you say smile to him and you get the biggest “cheese” possible.

I love getting pictures like these!!! His personality really seems to shine through although it MIGHT be a little embarrassing years from now!

Poor Cailyn has no idea what is in store for her, although her expression seems to say “Mom, don’t you dare take pictures of me like that!!!”

Happy St. Patrick's Day

 

Kiss me I  am Irish!!

Love,

Lawson, Cailyn and Wesley!

Cailyn’s Social Smile

Cailyn 6 weeks old

Okay, this is my first time attempting to post a video.  I hope it works.  If it does brace yourself for more videos from the Fitts’ Household.
This is Cailyn “playing” and then I got a smile that melted my heart. 
Enjoy!!

We Survived!

Well yesterday was rough but today we are all doing much better.

1. Lawson is back at school

2. Wesley woke up dry

3. Cailyn is smiling

4. I went to the dentist today and do not have any cavities! (yah!)

Thank you friends for your kind words and encouragement.  I really needed that!!! 

Blessings

I will survive!!

That’s the song I have running through my head right now.  I probably should be praying but right now I am just singing! 

Why you ask?  Let me tell you… when everything seems to be going smoothly…it was just a mirage. 

I am in the shower Cailyn is fed, happily laying in her bouncy seat as we are preparing to go to our first MOPS meeting since I had Cailyn.  (I couldn’t make it 2 weeks ago because I was sick.)  Then Lawson comes in saying her tummy hurts.  Next thing I know she has thrown up everywhere in her bathroom.  I run in there…too late as she has tried to clean up the mess and puts all of the toilet paper in the toilet and flushes it…Now the toilet is overflowing.  CRAP!

Then Wesley wakes up while all this is happening saying he has to go potty…and I notice his pants are wet.  Double crap.

Then to get the full picture Cailyn starts WAILING!!  Triple Crap.

Okay, what do you deal with first?  The crying baby, the over-flowing toilet, the throw-up, or the pee???  TAKE YOUR PICK!!!

I will survive…right?

**Pardon me while I vent!

***Lawson seems to be fine and enjoying movies in her room right now!

Attempting Normal

On Friday Lawson had early release from school and I decided to take the kids on a special treat!  We received free Krispy Kreme Donut coupons for Valentine’s Day and they were about to expire so off we went. Alone, I took 3 kids to downtown Raleigh for some yummy goodness to hopefully mask how nervous I was.  Sweets seem to help me calm my nerves.  I am happy to report this kids were AWESOME!! We had our free donut, got our free hats and pencils and made our first adventure out for the 4 of us a success.

Lawson watching them make donuts. 

I didn’t get a picture of Cailyn but I promise she was there (my camera phone died on me.)

On a mommy note: I have often been appalled at how rude people are when they see you with two kids and DO NOT open a door for you or stop while are trying to cross a parking lot.  Well, apparently you need THREE kids to get people to be polite.  I was pleasantly surprised that the door was opened for me twice.

We made it to church for the first time since Cailyn was born. Yippee! We were even on time! Everyone did fabulous getting ready and there was no arguing or fussing.  I am not sure about your family but sometime getting ready for church is nothing less then CRAZY.  Today, it was wonderful.  The kids had fun at Sunday school and Cailyn was great during the service.  

It feels good to attempt normal- whatever that may be.

Do we look alike?

I have always joked that Wesley would make a pretty girl just throw a headband on him.  Now don’t ever call him pretty he will tell you in a New York second “I am not pretty I am handsome” So there! 

Well, last night the opportunity arose and Wesley was wearing Lawson’s headband and I just happened to have a camera near by. He will hate me one day for this but…

Do you think this is what Cailyn will look like in 3 years??

Maybe???

But Cailyn will be pretty, Wesley will be handsome!!

1 Month Stats

Last week we went to the doctors and I forgot to write about her stats.  I guess between me battling a terrible sinus infection (I am happy to say I am feeling better and I can smell again) and the yeast infection caused by the antibiotics in Cailyn’s mouth and rear end I have been distracted.  I have never been on an antibiotic while nursing and didn’t realize the adverse reaction it can cause on a baby.  What a pain!!  I am happy to report as of this morning Cailyn’s thrush and diaper rash are showing great signs of improvement!  Yeah!

Back to the stats:

Weight: 8lbs 13.5oz 30%

Length: 21.5”  65%

Head: 36cm  25%

We are growing great!

We are starting to see her bright eyes more and more and starting to get some smiles.  I am not quick with the camera but her is a partial smile!!

Cailyn and I had a photo shoot the other day for her birth announcements.  Here is one shot that did not make the birth announcement but I just love!! 

Wesley Talk

One morning on our way to school I asked the kids if they wanted me to turn on the radio.  Their answers are always the same…Lawson “yes” Wesley “no” and then I proceed to turn on the radio.
The first song that came on was Fleetwood Mac and Wesley started whining “I don’t like this song. Turn it off.”  Of course, I don’t.

Then Led Zepplin’s “Whole lotta love” song came on and Wesley said “Oh ya, this is my kinda music!”

The boy has his father’s taste in music!! Ha!

Love Notes

My Lawson loves to leave notes around the house.  I thought I would share with you some of the notes I have found around the house this week.  Note: She writes these 100% on her own.

Note #1:

 

What it says: My Baby Sister is out and I love her with all my heart!!

Note #2:

What it says:  I love my baby sister as much I love my mommy!

Note #3:

I think you can read this one.  She even gave one to me and Collins!!

What a sweet and loving little girl.  We love our Lawson so much!!
