Thanksgiving 2016

We have so, so much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. Our two precious babies being at the top of the list!  We started the day at Folly with my dad. It was such a pretty day and so many people were out enjoying the beach. We enjoyed bellinis and stuffed ourselves, then headed to Jimmys aunts in West Ashley!  I was too full to eat again, but Jimmy managed to eat a few of his favorites!  We ended the day by interrupting the pediatricians thanksgiving dinner, because Charlie Banks just went downhill throughout the day. By the time we got home he was pretty pitiful and his temperature was 104.3. He has never really had a fever or really been sick for that matter, so we were nervous. Ha!  He almost slept with us, but we decided last minute that probably wasn't a good idea for all 4 of us to sleep in the same room.  He still sounds terrible with a nasty cough, but no fever this morning and he's definitely acting better.  All in all, a special and happy first thanksgiving for our sweet Hainesy!  And fingers crossed we didn't spread any of CB's germs!

Painting Trees

Brooke and I went to a pottery painting place on Sunday to paint these Christmas trees. We were both excited about them!  Our grandmother always had one and now we will have our own to remind us of her. I can't wait to see them once they are glazed and baked. It will be one of my favorite decorations for many years to come!

Showering Baby Buchanan

We threw a sweet shower for one of my best friends, Brooke, this past Sunday.  I totally forgot to take pictures until the very end after we were finished cleaning up. It was held at beautiful Pepper Plantation. We had delicious food, yummy mimosas and baby got a lot of great gifts. That makes for a successful shower!  I snapped a picture of the mama to be and me and the other pictures are of the cookies I made for the favors. The theme was "falling in love with baby Jennings"!  We cannot wait to meet this sweet babe in January!

Two Months

Our sweet Hainesy is two whole months!  So fast!  He is really growing!  We had his well check this morning. He weighs 12 lbs!!  He's in the 50th percentile for weight, 75th for height and 50th for head.  He did great with his shots.  He has been such a good baby and is really just too stinkin sweet!  I can hardly handle his smiles and coos. He enjoys the mamaroo, being swaddled, baths, nursing, and the moby wrap. He's napping 3-4 times a day. The majority he takes in the rock n play if we are home, except for I usually let him snooze in the moby for his last nap or if we are out. He really, really loves the moby, which is great!  He consistently sleeps for a 6-7ish hour stretch at night. I can't complain, but certainly hoping he starts to stretch it out. He's losing his hair and it reminds me of my grandfather, which makes me happy. He takes his brothers rough housing like a champ!  He took his first (since we were reunited after hospital craziness) bottle this weekend while I was at a baby shower. This feels very freeing as Charlie Banks never took a bottle in his 17 months of nursing. Ha!  It's great to know he will do it if needed. We love this little angel so much. He's the perfect addition to our family!

Smiles

I really just can.not.even. with these sweet smiles from Haines!  They are seriously melting me!
