Mack 2 Months

I can't even say how utterly OBSESSED I am with this sweet baby boy!  He is such an angel and I couldn't love him more.  He has the sweetest countenance and is so calm.  He still won't take a binkie and soothes himself to sleep which is heaven-sent.  He loves the chaotic noises around him and sleeps through almost everything.  He is very happy and hardly cries, unless he's super hungry.  He gets lots of love from his brothers but it's very short lived and the help is even shorter lived ha ha.  His eyes are looking like they will be blue, but they have some grey tints to them, so maybe they will turn more.  We love our Mack!!!












 Ah...my favorite!!!

1. Not my last baby.
2. I need more.
3. Who wants to get pregnant for me??  ha ha...

March Highlights

March went by in a huge, happy, crazy, busy blur!  These three boys are just so fun and bring so much craziness and happiness into our lives.  Mack is sleeping through the night which makes me feel like a new person and he's adapting to life here so well.  In March we:
Slept a lot...
 Went to the Ice hockey rink to watch Brett skate...

 Snuggled...

 Stared into this guys eyes a lot...
 Made it to church...
 Taught Griffin to get his clothes on by himself...kind of...
 Played with a lot of play doh...
 Visited Chick-Fil-A...
 And the candy store for spring break...
 And took the train into the city to visit Brett.  We are loving life with our three boys!
1. Spring break.
2. Great sleeping baby.
3. Happy, fun boys.

Grandma Claire Comes To Denver!

We had the greatest time with Grandma Claire!  I think we run her ragged with all our activities but it was so much fun and she was the best sport to play with us.  Claire flew in on Sunday and the boys were so excited to see her.  On Monday after Lincoln's school, we left for Great Wolf Lodge in Colorado Springs.  It was so much fun!  

 Lincoln and Brett did the ropes course in the lodge and it was so cute to watch them!  At first Lincoln was slow and a little scared, but by the end he was walking way ahead of Brett and fearless.  I was shocked with how well he did and how much he loved it.  He keeps asking to go back and do it again.
 Since Griff was too small for the ropes course he got to pick a treat in the candy story and he was very pleased about that.


 We all had so much fun swimming!  Claire and I switched off taking care of Mack while the boys played.  Lincoln loved the wave pool the most, and when the howling of the wolves came on he lit up!  He was so happy!
 Lincoln loved going across the lilipads too and did really well!
 Waiting for the waves...
  My 3 boys!  They loved the hotel room...
  Family of 5 :)
 The boys loved swimming with Grandma Claire!
 (Insert Wolf Howl!)
 This blue slide was Griffey's bread and butter....he loved it...
 When we got back home we did lots of playing, puzzle making, reading books, and baby snuggling.  Claire and I ventured downtown on Wednesday and enjoyed some True food Kitchen and shopping.  


 It was such a great visit and we are so grateful Claire came to visit and play and meet Mack!  We love visitors!

Mack's First Month

Oh, Mack!  You are so insanely loved!  Mack is such a wonderful baby.  After such a horrible, long, nauseating pregnancy I am so grateful for the wonderful gift that Mack is.  He is an angel!  Since he go home from the hospital he has slept, at least, 10-4 and then going right back to sleep until 7 or 8.  He eats really well, burps quickly, loves to be snuggled, likes to have his hands out of the blankets, doesn't love hats, and isn't bothered by the happenings of his brothers.  He is the perfect third child.  

  Every night after we put Lincoln and Griffey down to bed, we just sit in our bed and snuggle Mack.  It is the best!  He is sooo yummy...
 Caught this sweet smile a week after he was born...

 We feel like he looks like Griffey and Lincoln when they were babies and are thinking that his eyes will be blue so far...
 I keep the binkie attached to him just in case he decides he actually likes it...for the most part when I put it in his mouth he makes the most disgusted face ever.  Not a fan...
 For now he sleeps next to our bed in this bed that sits him up a little bit.  He is pretty loud so I moved him into the closet.  He grunts all night!  






 I just love this little boy SO much!  He has brought so much happiness to our home and I am so grateful he is here and he is healthy and so wonderful.  He is such an angel! 
Current Nicknames: Macaroon, Mackelroy, Mr. Mack, Bert Macklin, and a few others.  We love him!
