4 months!!

Krew Arthur

4 months

 

Height and Weight:
We had his 4 month well check Tuesday & dude is 14.4 lbs and 24 1/2 inches long! The doctor was extremely impressed with his weight gain as he has almost tripled his birth weight! He was not a happy camper after his set of shots, he fevered all night and was over all fussy yesterday! I think his day with his Aunt & Grandma has helped him to feel better today!!

Health: Thank the sweet Lord for blessing me with a healthy baby. I am crossing my fingers that we make it out of this cold/flu season with only the small cold he caught from me back in December! We only have about another month maybe 2 of cold weather here in Salt Lake. He seems to always have a stuffy nose but I think he may be getting use to the dogs he is always around!

 

Sleep: We all sleep really well! Krew is still in his bassinet next to his mama but is quickly growing out of it! We had about a week where he wouldn't sleep anywhere but next to me in bed. That didn't make well and mama was really tired so we put him back in his bassinet. He sleeps 5-6 hours gets up to eat, than goes back down for another 3-4. I am SO not ready for him to be in his crib yet.

Diet: We still have him on Organic formula. He is eating 5-7 oz each feed about every 3 1/2 to 4 hours. Once this little dude is hungry you best feed him and you best do it now.

Clothes: He is rocking size 2 diapers, and 3-6 month clothes and SOME 6 month clothes. (i hate to admit he is that big)

Baby Gear Love: Sophie is still a hit and he loves his O'Ball rattle! The activity mat we have for him is also starting to become his favorite past time, and I hate to admit this but the dude loves the tube!

Crying: He honestly doesn't cry unless he needs something. Hungry, Tired, Sore, Bored etc.

Likes: The t.v, watching his puppies fight, his crib mobile and he has started to laugh. If you blow raspberries you will usually get a pretty good giggle out of him!

Postpartum: I think I am over my baby blues. (post to come soon) I still have about 10+ pounds to lose and plan on doing it before the first of June. My hair is still falling out and my body hates the Mirena. Some days I would just love to wake up at 7 am but be able to fall right back asleep until 11 or noon!

Social: Oh man. Krew is a social butterfly already, he will tell you stories all day long. He loves to coo and to hear a response from you!

Milestones: Krew is almost rolling over! Plus we get to start solid foods!! ((:

Dear baby boy,

You have captured your mamas heart. I love you so much dear son, talk about how fast time goes. If I could bottle up all of our special moments and keep them forever I would. I feel as though my heart is going to explode with love and I am so proud of how far you, me, and Dad have come. Summer is approaching and I can't wait for all of the fun things we have ahead as a little family! Love you so much dudee.

 

xoxo

Here is a re-cap of the Barras life via instagram (surr_burr)

 

 

I've been rocking hats a little more than usual lately, all do to the fact that I am too lazy to wash my hair!

My 2 baby boys! I love this picture. Our little Gussie is starting to come around so much more and loves his brother Krew!

We took Krew swimming! He loved it! He didn't cry or anything he kinda just kicked his feet around and would 1/2 smile as we took him around the pool! Can't wait for Summer!

                                        

Can you say OCD? We traveled to Idaho this weekend to visit Great-Grandpa Barras again. I am a freak when it comes to Krew he has to have everything just so!

Mama needed a Rockstar to kick off the trip. I hate falling asleep and leaving the driving up to Ryan.

Cheyenne (5 months) Krew (4 months)

He look so big to me and was such a gentlemen to the ladies!

Dudes morning nap yesterday before we left. This kid loves naps!

Krew & Great-Grandpa Barras

Ryan, myself & Grandpa

 

Idaho was fun and I am lucky we are able to travel up to visit with Grandpa his health is declining so it's good to see him when we can! Krew is so lucky to have such an awesome role model to look back on!

Mornin' & Happy Friday!! ::throws confetti: It's snowy here in SLC which just makes this post that much better as I am so ready for Summer!! If you've been around this part of the blogger world you already know that Easter to me is like Christmas to most! I started on Krews Easter basket 2 months ago. Judge away! I have always loved this time of year, the birds chirping, the warmer mornings, the SUN!! Okay, I am making myself jealous. Can you say seasonal depression? Anyways, I figured I could share with my bloggies a little of what I am going to put into Krews basket. Of course I like to put stuff in that he "needs" and not just junk that will never get used. Here we go!

(left - right)

 

1. Baby Gap Swim trunks

Okay so we've already given him 1 pair because we were too excited to go swimming with him. He loved it! You can find both trunks .here.

 

2. Carters Cotton Zip-Up Jam Jams

We call pajamas jam jams at our casa, I love the cotton ones because they are light enough I don't worry about my little guy getting too hot. I have purchased some in 6 month size. I can't believe it!! The zipper is super easy for middle of the night diaper changes! I love Carters they are inexpensive and cute! .here.

 

3. Skip Hop Moby Bath Spout Cover

This matches his nursery theme! I had to have it! Plus he is cute right? Honestly though once Krew gets bigger to sit in the tub on his own I don't want to worry about his little noggin' hitting the hard faucet! What kid doesn't like rubber duckies in the bath? I remember I loved them! .here.

 

4. Toms, Sunnies, & Hat.

I decided to get Krew a pair of Toms in a size 4. He will eventually grow into them and I don't feel like you can ever have too many things for those days where your baby just isn't a baby anymore! I found them at Nordstrom. As for the must have Summer time accessories, I am really wishing Krew fit into flat brims but not quite yet so a regular baseball hat will do! You can find both .here.

 

5. Books Books & more Books!

What child can have too many books! There is no such thing! I like to stock up often on new books to read to my little munchykin. Of course, I picked Peter Rabbit & Dr. Seuss. I just found these at my local Costco!!

 

6. Food Goods

Seriously my baby will be 6 months at the end of April so what better time than now to get him some cute plates & utensils for when we introduce solids! (i am asking for the baby bullet for my birthday) I am really excited to see what he does and doesn't love and even more excited to be able to make my own! He is on Earth's Best Organic formula as of now so I think I will keep up with feeding him organics for the first year or so. You can find all of these goodies .here.

 

 

xoxo

lions, tigers, & bow-ties oh my!!

happy hump day lovies!

i figured now that it has taken off a bit i would like to introduce you to my bow tie line inspired by my little man Krew!

i am also starting baby girl headbands!! check it out and message me for more details! loves you all!!

that cheetah bag is my new prized possesion husband surprised me with it on valentines day. i was shocked, i've mentioned it a few times for my birthday next month!

that's us. we went to to a steak house and the hot springs with friends saturday night. it was fun but i missed my little man.

cute krew chillin' in bed with mom on friday night. we both hit the sack close to 9.

As far as today goes, it's a Monday and a Holiday and in the car bidness you don't ever get a day off so I am here with a 1/2 smile. The boys are at home enjoying time together which is real sweet but man I wish I could be in bed with them right now!

Fridays Letters

 

Dear Friday, i love you. #enoughsaid. Dear Krew, I had such an awesome day with you yesterday squirt! Can't wait for many many more! Dear Summer, get here and get here now. I am so sick of the bitter cold. Dear Dad, Happy Birthday. Love you to the moon & back. Dear husband, let's try to sleep in tomorrow. Dear SLC, your winters can go F themselves! Dear Summer, please come. please!!

XOXO

Love Day

Happy Valentines Day ya'LL.

(i secretly wish i was southern)

 

Husband and I aren't huge on Valentines Day. The way we see it is, if we have to have a special day to show each other our love and appreciation for each other than we aren't doing something right! In my opinion it should be a daily thing. An I love you is so quickly taken for granted, your loved one could be taken at any moment so reach out to those you love most and tell them how much you love them on a daily basis!

Today I have lots planned with my little dude. Each holidays means so much more and is so much more special now that I have another person to celebrate with! I am one lucky mama! First we are off to The Little Gym here in SLC to try out a mommy and me class! I have high hopes for this and have looked forward to it all week! Hoping to make it a weekly thing! We may stop by a few places to see some of our favorite gals and than we will deliver Valentines to Krew's cousins!! His Aunt Lexi and I spent last Saturday making suckers! We found the idea .here.

 

 

 

I hope everyone has a good day today single or not you have someone whom you love and that loves you!!!

XOXOX
