4 weeks old today!




Baby Knox is four weeks old today! I'm not sure how much he weighs, but he feels a lot heavier than he did two weeks ago. He loves to sleep more during the daytime than he does at night. But, we are working on that. He's beginning to enjoy a bath more, and is staying awake for longer periods of time during the day. There's not much time to rest when you're the third child as we've been on the go for basketball games, Valentines parties, and trips to the park. Luckily, so far, he's a great traveler. His big brothers are doing well. They love to help. Knox came to Carter's Valentine's party yesterday. Carter was so proud to show off his little brother. It was also fun to see how excited his friends were that Carter had a new baby brother. Mom did fine too, she just told the kids not to touch the baby. :-). Carter also loves to hold Knox. Canon is very enthusiastic about his little brother. He cheers and claps when Knox is awake, and last to give him kisses when he's asleep. Canon always asks if he can pet Knox like a puppy dog.

Sweet snuggler

---catching up on a few pre-Knox posts-- Cannon is so snugly with the baby.







He also liked the pigs at the stock show. Please don't comment on any similarities. :)

Welcome Knox!

We finally met Knox at 3:43 a.m. on Wednesday, January 18th.  The labor and delivery went smoothly and Knox arrived as a healthy, perfect baby boy.  In fact, that was his name until the next day when we finally decided on his name.


Ryan took Carter to school Wednesday morning and they stopped by the hospital on the way.  Carter was excited, but reserved.  


Kiki brought Cannon by after school.  He was excited too.  Much more hands on.  


Hands on at home too :) 





More to come.  I have lots of catching up to do....
 Sleep, blogging, but mostly enjoying all of the sweet boys in the house.

Hard work and heavy lifting

I'm not exactly sure what all was going on, but they were both taking their jobs quite seriously.

6:30 am. First morning of Christmas Break

Apparently they didn't get the, "it's ok to sleep in" memo.






Cannon was wearing his propellor hat and had brought me a stack of Christmas books to read.





Me. I was still in bed. It was 6:30 in the morning on the first morning of Christmas break. Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

Mrs. Dana's Music Class

Our boys love going to music class. They have the opportunity to sing, dance, learn about music and play a variety of instruments. One of the violin instructors brought up a special violin that each of her children played.

Cannon took quite a liking to this little violin.

A sweet trip to the toy store

Yesterday we made a trip to the toy store in the big city.  I must say, I was impressed that the boys behaved so nicely.  No "galloping greedy gimmies" like the Bearinsteen Bears book would say. 

Even better was capturing a few moments of sweetness between big and little brother.

1 down!

Carter lost his first tooth! He rushed out of school Tuesday afternoon to share the news.

Apparently, the apple at lunch did the trick.


5 golden dollars were left in exchange for the tooth. His second bottom tooth is soon to follow. No toothless, gummy smiles though, the permanent teeth are about 2/3 of the way in!

You are my sunshine, even though you are a grumpy sun.

Carter was serenading the "sun."
I realized after watching the video that Cannon was actually speaking for the "sun."

Dove Hunting...

Carter was so excited to go Dove Hunting with his Dad.


He got himself dressed, all the way down to the camo belt.

How did they do?

Watch and see.

Cabelas

Carter drew the picture below at school the other day. It's of the Cabelas shooting gallery.


The bottom right is the actual shooting gallery with the targets.

The two circles in the middle...
"Mom, you know when they cut animals heads off and stick them
on the wall? Well, that's what those are."

Ok.

Carters response to us having a third boy: "Oh good! Now we get to go to Cabelas even more!!"
