My little peanut

It's sad but true when people tell you that after your first child you don't take as many pictures or document as much stuff as you did with the first one! So I figured I would post a few things about my tiny girl so I don't make her feel left out:)
-she's now a little over 3 months old
-she is so little and skinny, a week ago at the doctor she barely weighed 10 lbs (Tate was already almost 14 lbs by then)
-she loves to be swaddled really tight when she sleeps, and she loves to have her face covered when she naps (don't worry, I'm not suffocating my child)
-when she smiles really big she scrunches her nose up like I did when I was a baby
-she talks and laughs all the time
-she is so happy and content just to play by herself under her little play mat
-she loves to play pat-a-cake
That's all I can think of right now, but she has been the best baby so far. Just so mellow and happy, I love her to pieces!!

Our no good, very bad day

Yesterday was just not Tate's day. While I was bathing Marley in the morning, he got into our ibuprofen. So I called poison control (for the 4th time in a year mind you--hopefully they don't keep track and think I never watch my child) and they said it was protocol to take him to the ER since it could be pretty bad. So I called Jord and off we went to the hospital. Thankfully he was acting ok so they didn't think they needed to pump his stomach or anything, so we just had to stay a few hours so they could watch him. He thought it was some party and was playing around the room. He was fine and we got to go home in the afternoon...
(sorry, bad cell phone picture)
He thought it was so funny to keep pulling the gown up over his head....silly boy

Then last night he jumped out of the bathtub and cut his foot open, it was bleeding all over the freaking bathroom. And he was screaming so bad we considered taking him to Instacare since he wouldn't let us even look at it. But we just tried wrapping it and put him to bed. Luckily it didn't end up needing stitches, just a really deep cut. So needless to say, he had a rough day.

Tulip Festival

For Valentines my parents bought all of us a season pass to Thanksgiving Point, and last Friday it was finally nice enough to go. So we got 3 golf carts and piled 6 adults and 12 kids on them to drive around the grounds--it was so fun! Maybe next time we will invite the guys to go with us...

trying to get a picture of the three of us but Tate just wanted to pick the tulips
his favorite part way driving the cart with Brooke
the whole gang! (well, minus Paige taking the picture)

Happy Cinco de Mustache!

Jord looks like a creepy trucker in this picture!

So we had our 3rd annual Cinco de Mustache party at the Perkins' the other night and it was just as fun as always! But I've really grown to hate the month of April because the guys don't shave the whole month, and I'm not a fan of facial hair...Josh, Jord and Tyler--Jord has even gotten the guys at work to do it too
You know we're all parents when our parties have a mean game of "duck-duck-goose"
All the guys with their creepy 'staches
