5 Weeks

I better update a little about Jerzi, so I can look back and remember things about her. At 5 weeks old, she is a pretty good baby, except she struggles eating. She is constantly needing to burp and has a hard time actually eating anything, without having to stop and puke/burp, or fall asleep. It makes for long drawn out feedings but she's so sweet. We love to kiss her chubby cheeks. She is always trying to hold her head up, and she does pretty good, but then all of the sudden she'll just slam it down into our shoulders or Had's scruffy chin. She sleeps pretty good at nights, waking up to eat once or twice, then goes right back to sleep. We love having her around, even though it's way hard to get all of us ready to go somewhere. Had keeps saying there's no way we can have more kids cuz it will take me too long to get all of us ready and i will never leave the house if we do. Please tell me, all you people with more than 2 kids, that it gets easier. :) (Her hair isn't even long enough for me to do it yet either. I don't know what takes me so long. Crap!)



At 5 days old, she was already holding up her own bottle! :)



She loves having baths, especially when she's getting her hair washed. She just relaxes and gets all calm. Mainly what I love is seeing her in her cute little bathrobes and towels, and smelling her right after she gets all lotioned up.



Here is her first day going to church. I love dressing her up already. (Maybe that's what takes me so long to get her ready.) :)



I had to post this picture cuz there's a cute little story behind it. I got her all ready for church one day, and brought her downstairs where Had and Jete were. As soon as Jete looked at her his eyes lit up and he said, "Mommy, Jerzi looks like a princess!" We didn't even know that he knew about princesses.




Jeter loves Jerzi to death. He always wants to be right next to her or in her face and is constantly telling her "You so cute" in a little high pitch baby voice. He also thinks that when she's flailing her arms all over the place, that if he snuggles in real close to her and gets right in their line of fire, that she's trying to get him, or tickle him. He laughs like crazy when she "gets him". Usually i don't think to take pictures of this cuz i'm usually telling him to not get so close, but i did get a few that were pretty cute before he smothered her. Here's some of my faves of these two.

  2. Oh my gosh, she is one cute little girl! I can never get out of the house either and half the time I have to turn around once I'm out because I forgot something.

    So sad you were close for Thanksgiving and we didn't get to see you. I thought about you and Nate the whole time and about all the fun stuff we used to do. Good times.

  5. If you are anything like me; which I know you are (a little O.C.D about your kids hair and clothes)the answer is NO it does not get easier. They just get bigger, their hair grows longer so it takes awhile to make it "perfect", and they fight with you about what they wear. However Cole is much more picky about what he wears than Kallie. I just don't know how people have three kids. Maybe people like you and I have to relax and quite being so O.C.D

  6. Well, the more kids you have the harder it definitely gets but you also get better at orchestrating it. You learn as you go and 5 weeks is hardly long enough to learn.
    Jete will get older and be able to do more on his own and thats less for you to do, even if it's simple things like put on his shoes, find his coat etc.
    I am sure you are doing great! You might just need to give yourself more time to get things done for now!

  7. How cute! Girls are so fun to dress up and do their hair. It gets way easier to get out the door, especially as Jerzi gets older and can burp better and all that fun newborn stuff. Glad she's such a good baby. Makes life a little easier.

  9. What cute kids! I can't believe Jerzi has so much hair! It is so much fun having two and hilarious to watch a 2 year old with a baby! Hope things are going well for you guys. Do you guys leave next year for externships? (or whatever they are called)

  11. Cin, she is so dang cute. And she does look like you. She has your eyes. There is one picture in particular that looks just like you. At least that is what I think. Jete is cute too! I love to hear stuff that he says. He seems like a little smarty pants. Right now Cruiz is completely obsessed with all babies. He wants to hold them and kiss them every second. Then all the peeps always say stuff to me about having another baby. haha, we'll see about that.

  12. Cin she is so dang cute. I forget all the newborn stuff. Craziness. If I have another girl, I am going to die. I can't ever make it out of the house before 11 with just me and Saylor. I love the story about Jete calling her a princess. That is one of the cutest things I have ever heard. I can't wait to see you guys in a few weeks and get to kiss Jerzi's little cheeks.
