Uh-Oh

So Jonathan has learned a new word- UH-OH. He says it all the time now! He says it when it is not in context and also when he should. When he drops something and then he says it. It just makes me laugh!
Sarah is doing okay she has some congestion so it is hard for here to breath. So I have to suction her and she hates it! She hardly ever cries, but when I suction her she has a mad little cry! Yesterday we went to the doctors and Sarah was 10 lbs 2 oz and is in the 89%. She is a healthy baby! Well, we were waiting for the doctor to come we weighted Jonathan and he was 17 lbs 10 oz- watch out Jonathan your sister is going to caught you in no time! No, but I was happy to see that Jonathan was 17 lbs cause last appointment he had only gained 5 oz in 3 months.
Thanks Kristi for taking Jonathan this morning! Wednesdays are always a long day for me. Cause Dave is gone from the early morning till late evening! So any little break helps. Sarah loves to be held for a long time before she goes down in her crib, so I would lay with her. But then I wouldn't sleep well, and then that leads to a tried Shirlene and then that leads to Shirlene having breakdowns. So in order to alleviate that Dave will hold Sarah while he studies at night. That helps so much! Thanks sweetie for all your help!

Learning

Jonathan loves to hold Sarah for a minute- he gets very excited and tries to be gentle. But we are still working with him! Sarah is very patent with Jonathan ! Jonathan giving Sarah a hug! Mommy and Sarah!
Sweet Sarah, she continues to be a great baby. She loves Mommy to hold her. She eats great and sleep good. This picture above I thought was so sweet, as she is sleeping on my chest- her hand is by he mouth!

This is Jonathan playing on the bouncy chair. He loves to play on it. This past week. He got on it and put the blanket over his head and anted to play peek a boo. It was way funny!

So Jonathan and Mommy are learning together. I try to keep all the

doors closed when i m feeding Sarah cause it is very difficult to get Jonathan if he decides to get into something. Well, yesterday morning I ws feeding Sarah and I forgot to close the pantry door. So of course Jonathan wanted to explore. I have a 25 bag of flour in the pantry and he decided to get about 1/2 cup to 1 cup out of the bag. He got it all over the floor and himself. I think that he was hungry himself cause he started to taste it. Well, Jonathan does seem to be getting into more since I am not right there. But, he is doing better then last week. So I am sure it will get better with time!

We have been working with Jonathan on folding his arms during prayers and it just seems like he is caughting on. This morning I was playing with Jonathan in his room and I was asking him if he wanted to go down the slide. then all of the sudden he folded his arms like we were going to say a prayer so we did. I guess he got confused cause he usually plays on his slide before he goes to bed and we usually pray before he goes to bed. nyways I thought that it is very cute and he is a very smart boy! I will try to post of picture of him praying!

Life with two!

Brother and Sister
This is Jonathan's favorite past time right now! He loves to climb and sit on the stepping stool!
Sweet Sarah- doesn't she look so cute in her new outfit!
So you probaly can't tell what this is a picture of, but it is a picture of our floor after Sarah vomited. Now if I didn't have the scooba I would have been upset cause we mopped the night before. But I wasn't I just put the scooba out and it cleaned the floor while I held Sarah!
Well, we are still trying to adjust to life with 2. But I thought that I would update you on how things are going thus far! Well, Sarah is such a good baby. She seems to sleep a good 6 hrs during the night. Last night she slept from 12 till 8 (and I woke her up at 8 to feed). She is very patent and calm, and doesn't cry a lot. She eats very good however, there are times that she eats to much and we seem to have projectile vomit. Which I am not use to at all, snice Jonathan hardly eat! She is so sweet, and we love to hold her! It is fun to have a little girl in our family! I am trying to be a good Mom and put bows in her hair and make her look cute when we go out (whihc seems to be to my parents or church thus far). I feel so blest to have Sarah in our home she is such a sweet spirit!
Jonathan is trying to adjust to life with a new sister! He gets excited at times and wants to touch her (he is still learning to be gentle). He seems to want to be held a lot more, and he cuddles a lot more. He seems to wake up early every morning since I have come home from the hospital. I am trying to figure out why- I am not sure if he knows that he can get 1 on 1 time. There does seem like a lot more crying. He loves to go to Grammies and Papas- to get more attention! He like to play in the bouncy chair, and be like Sarah!
Mom and Dave are adjusting to the new sleep pattern, once again! I have attempted dinner in the crockpot, since Dave is home from school!

It's a GIRL!!!!

Our Sweet Baby Girl!
This is Sarah 2 days old!
Our new Family!
Getting ready to go home, she is such a sweet baby!
So, for those of you who didn't know Shirlene had the baby Thursday the 7th at about 3:45 p.m. in the afternoon. She was in labor from Monday with light contractions that built into full heavy labor on Wednesday. Her membranes were striped Wednesday afternoon and from then on she was in some serious pain. At about 10:45 p.m. we went into the hospital and she was admitted at 12:15. (Thank goodness for the epidural) 17 hours later Sarah Shirlene Harris was born. She weighed in at 8 lbs 15 oz (half Jonathans weight) and measured 19.5 inches. Both mom and baby are doing great! Shirlene is happy to report that Sarah does not look completely like me. (As that was a big concern of hers) They both should be coming home on Saturday Afternoon. I'm looking forward to having them both home again. Thank you all for your prayers and support. Special thanks to the Kumps & Petersons for their help with Jonathan. Another special thanks to Dr. Wolsey for his patience with Shirlene and I through this pregnancy. Pictures will be posted tomorrow.
Dave

15 Months

This morning Jonathan, Mom, Dad and I went to the Mall to walk. Well, we were there Kiddy Kandids asked us if we wanted a free 8X10. I said we might came back. Well, we went around the corner and then I decided to do it. (Good thing I gave Jonathan a bath this morning, and he was looking cute!) Jonathan did great and we got this picture, even with sepia for free! It was great! I needed a 15 Month pic of Jonathan.
