Moments

I love this picture of all three of my babies...it is amazing how much they all look alike. I can't believe how fast they are growing up. Em just told me the other day that she will soon be eight...I told her not to rush it..LOL. I then realize how close that is to double digits...tween...teenager....ahhhhhhhh! I am not ready for that...not having ribbions in her hair...cute monogrammed dresses..all that too soon will be a memory. Where has the time gone? It seems like yesterday she was just born. And I can't believe how fast the school year has gone already...of course I know spring break cannot come fast enough for some! LOL

16 Weeks

Christian is 16 weeks...sigh..time is going by so quickly. He is almost 25 inches long..not sure how much he weighs since our scale is broke..LOL..I am pretty sure he is close to 18 pounds. He is such a chuncky monkey! He is very calm..loves to laugh...watches his big brother and sister intently and loves to "talk." He also loves to watch Phinneas and Pherb. He is not to thrilled with rice cereal but loves oatmeal with bananas. Hates tummy time...but loves to lay on his back and play with his rattle. He is teething already and is chewing on his hands. He will take his paci some but not like he use to. He is wearing 3-6 month clothing. We are truly blessed to have this little man!

Hello World

It has been a while since my last post...my laptop kicked the bucket and was unrepairable. Thankfully they were able to put all of my documents and pictures on disks for me. So that left James' laptop that needed to be fixed...we were hoping it was just the hard drive and the quotes we were getting for taking it to get fixed seemed too much. So after talking with someone at work James decided to get a hard drive and replace it to see if that would solve it or not. We could always take it back and he had gotten one real cheap. It took him less than five minutes to replace it and yeah it works!!! So now we are back online! You really don't realize how much you miss keeping up with friends by email or FB when you can't get online. Anyway life is busy and little man is already 3 months old.....I just wish time would slow down a bit. He is precious and has started "baby talk"and laughing. He loves to watch his big brother and sister...espcially when they sing to him. I love watching them together and cannot wait to see how they are together as they get older.

One month

Christian is a month old...how time flies! He is so precious and Em and Austin just love him to pieces. Most of the time he is pretty laid back. We are really enjoying him and treasuring this time with our last baby.

Now a family of five

Christian Gregory Otts was born on Sept. 15th at 7:47am. I was scheduled for a c-section on the 29th (his due date was Oct. 4) but due to preeclampsyia my c-section was moved up. He weighed 8lbs and 7oz...I cannot imagine what he would of weighed had we have been able to wait until the 29th! He is so calm and laid back. Emily Grace and Austin love being a big brother and sister. My doctor was great and the whole experience at SEMC was awesome. The nurses really took care of us. I cannot believe it has been only a week since he was born. Our little family is doing well and we are really enjoying this time.

PC Beach 2010

We got to go to PC yesterday to my home church and then we took the kids to the beach. They had so much fun playing in the sand and the water. I loved watching their expressions. Of course Austin never looks at me when I take pictures...LOL. We went to Pier 53 and had a good spot sitting under it so that I was not too hot. And the beach was really not the crowded. We had lots of fun and look forward to future trips!

First Day of Kindergarten...

Today was Austin's first day of kindergarten. He did so well! He immediately went to his desk to color his paper this morning. His class was going on a treasure hunt. He was so excited! Em had her second day of 2nd grade and loves it. She has had spelling and reading homework already. It was very quiet around here while they were in school...I could get use to that...LOL.

 

First Day of the 2nd Grade

 Today was Em's first day of 2nd grade at Kate Smith. The girl was beyond excited to start school! Austin starts kindergarten tomorrow...the let the first half of the class go today and the other half tomorrow...then his whole class will be together on Wed. We decided to go ahead and let them start school here even though we will be moving up to Dothan in about a month or so when we find a place.
