A Few First....

I have been going stir crazy in this house the last 6 weeks. It's hard to get a newborn out when the highs during the day are in the teens! I have made it to the grocery store a few times while Cody waits in the car with Jones and we have taken him to town several times but we just keep him in the car though. Well yesterday it warmed up a tidbit and Cody was super busy and we needed groceries. I decided to venture on out with him by myself. I fed him before we left and It was smooth sailing. He was in awe of Walmart. He was snoozing good until we passed by the frozen section and I guess he got a chill and he was wide-eyed the rest of the shopping trip! He was a champ! He only got fussy once waiting in the LONG line that is walmart checkout! I just scooped him up and he was good to go! Made it home in one piece, and had all the groceries put away before he got fussy again and wanted to eat.

Cody went hunting last night while me and Jones took a nap. When we woke up I did not feel like cooking. I figured since I had him out today by myself, why not take him out to eat for his very first date night with his mommy and daddy! He was a champ again! I fed him right before we left and he was a happy camper till we got home! I think the only reason I get nervous taking him out right now is I don't feel comfortable nursing in public. I am stocking up with the liquid gold before our trip to Texas so I won't have to worry about that when we go out.

Today after lunch it was pretty nice outside and Cody took us out on the ranch for a ride. We bundled him up and as soon as we hit the bumpy roads in the ranch he was out cold! Since we were on the ranch I just held him and we got some good cuddle time in while momma enjoyed some fresh air!

Lazy Snow Days

We woke up to a complete white out this morning! We thought the snow had passed but at 10 this morning it started snowing again hard and didn't stop till this afternoon. I would guess we got about 4 inches. It's beautiful!

Cody actually came home at lunch and stayed in most of the day. Lucky us! I got to rest and get a little break and the boys had some much needed "guy" time! The low tonight is supposed to be 6 degrees and the high in the teens......burrrrr!

Jones is taking his pacifier more and more but we have to tease him. You have to hold him like he is nursing and then he ATTACKS it! His hair is getting lighter too. I was hoping for dark locks like his daddy but he is a cutie either way!


Cousin Hannah

I am so glad Nawna brought my cousin Hannah all this way to meet me this weekend! We had a fun time! You sure are funny Hannah and I love to snuggle with ya! See you again in a few weeks!

Love, Jones

1 month Already!

Jones hit his first growth spurt at the end of week three and wore me out. One day he ate for 8 hours and would not let me put him down. It lasted 5 days and we both made it! Papa Jones, Grammy and Kristen came to visit this weekend and we had a great time. Jones likes to cluster feed at night a lot and I was tired and wanted to visit with everybody so I MADE him take his pacifier.......he was not to pleased with it, but took it anyways. Week 3 I gave him his pacifier for the first time and he attacked it for 2 days and I thought we created a pacifier monster, then he wouldn't have anything to do with it again until this night. Look at the hand gesture....he is not too thrilled with it, lol!
We also gave him his first bottle this weekend....of breast milk of course! He had 3 bottles this weekend, the first did not go to well and he was confused, haha. The second one went smooth and this last one Kristen gave him he wanted nothing to do with it!
It was sad to see everybody leave........


He was so excited Papa Jones and Grammy drove all that way to see him and he was happy to finally meet his Aunt Kristen!

After everyone left we loaded up and went to town to get out of the house for awhile! We are so glad you love your car seat! That trip home to Texas will go a lot smoother since you love it so much!
