Go Pack Go

Here are a few photos of the kids in their Packer gear for the big game (friends here are saying they won't hold it against us that we're rooting for the wrong team). I thought the first photo was cute as the big kids are screaming GO Packers. the next photo of Vann, I have my days confused, I thought today was the 11th, but it's the 12th and I should have put a #1 in the photo with him, seeing that he is 1 month old today (hopefully I'll remember to get that photo today). lately Quinn has been giving a 'thumbs up' for lots of stuff, and when she makes the sign, she's just so darn cute with her hyperextended thumb and her scrunched up smile, I had to get a photo of it.

One more xmas present

We had a lot of rain over the actual Christmas holiday, so we did not give the kids this present, but waited until a nicer day.  Papa and Grandma Deb and Adam and I bought the kids some nice bikes.  I had them wait outside the garage for the door to open, they were awaiting the surprise, it was fun to hear them talking about what it could be...is it a Barbie car?...  I didn't get any photos of Brennan, but only videos, and I can't seem to get the videos to upload.  But he had fun riding on his new bike, especially since his last one is completely out of commission due to the chain falling off one too many times.  We drove around the little circle and then headed to the school parking lot.  And come to find out, there are plenty of kids that ride around in the school lot too.
Brennan's is a 16" black and red Harro and Quinn's is a 12" hot pink Harro

Quinn is still trying to understand how to work the pedals round and round, but she had fun nonetheless.

break for some diaper changes in the back of the van.

Brennan loves his big wheel.  It is a boy thing, but he loves to ram his sister.  The other day he stuck his back wheel out, and she went ass over teakettle and took a faceplant.  Luckily she didn't hurt herself, and needless to say, I was a little mad at him.

Quinn loves to ride her Diego tricycle around.  We call it Yeigo, and she doesn't work the pedals round and round, but just pushes her feet, but she loves it.

3 weeks

Vann was 3 weeks old yesterday and we had a check up.  As they say, he is growing like a weed.  Here are his stats. 
 
Head circumference 36.8 cm, 60%
Height 21.5 in, 73%
Weight 8 lb 8 oz, 39%
(again he was born at 7 lb 4 oz)
 
Here are a few phtos of him his past week.
 
(I did the best I could, I wasn't going to pay a professional to take a photo of a heart around his feet)

at the dr office yesterday.

an oldie but goodie outfit, nice hand me down from brother brennan.

working on some tummy time, dr said the head was alittle flat on one side...

I found Quinn helping him read the other day.  How cute.

first bath in the tub.  It could be a while before he can swim with us, we need his stool to firm up, breastfed babies are pretty watery...

here he is after the bath, all that soft hair
