Wade's Two Month Stats

Wade at Two Months:

Weight - 13 pounds - 75th percentile

Height - 24 1/2 inches - 90th percentile

Wade is doing just great!! He has started smiling and cooing at us a lot. I just melt when he gives me one of his big cheesy grins. The kids are enjoying his grins too. He was cooing at Luke the other day and Luke came running telling me that Wade was trying to talk to him. He was so excited! I love that the kids notice when Wade does something new.

Wade is a good baby. He still sleeps a lot during the day. He gets a little fussy in the evening when I am trying to get dinner ready. It is a little tough, to say the least, to get dinner ready while holding this little boy. It takes more than one hand to cook, but he won't let the kids hold him while he is fussy. Mommy is the only one that can do the trick.

He sleeps pretty good at night. He is ready to go to sleep about 8:30pm. He goes about six hours before he wakes to eat followed by a three or four hour stretch. The only problem is when he wakes for his night time bottle he likes to stay awake and play for awhile. So we are usually up for about an hour and a half for his night time feeding. I am getting caught up on the shows I like to watch. Thank goodness for DVRs. This is a luxury we did not have when the other kids were babies.
He is eating like a champ .....you can tell by the extra chin! Meal times are serious business.

Random Pictures

There has not been much going on around our house to blog about, so here are some pictures I have taken over the past two weeks. It is kind of nice for a change that we have not had anything eventful to share.

Kate is reading to Wade and playing on his mat with him.


Wade at 8 weeks.

Here are a couple of my funny outtakes. It is quite a challenge to get everybody to smile and look forward at the same time. I torture them with all the pictures I take and this is an example of how they get me back...

Tiger Pride

On the weekend of September 17th we took a trip to Snyder to help celebrate Uncle Aaron's 30th birthday with Chris's family. It was a great weekend and great party! We took this opportunity to all dress in our Snyder Tigers outfits.

Another cousin picture...this one turned out so cute!! This one was just as challenging to get as the ones we have taken in the past but the outcome was great!!
Here is a picture of the whole family including Grandmom and Granddad. This group has grown by three this year.

One More TIme

Kate got her new teeth on Tuesday!! We are all happy with them. She is even willing to show them off to anybody who asks to see them. Let's just pray that this set lasts a lot longer than the last ones did. No more accidents at the Stansell house please!!

Little Cowboy

Our "Little Cowboy" is six weeks old today!! He is growing like a weed. I don't know how much he weighs, but he is starting to out grow some of his newborn clothes. He has started wearing his 0-3 month clothes now. It is funny how an outfit can be way to big one week and fit perfectly the next.

Grandparents Day at School

Today Memaw Linda, Granddad Bob, and Memaw Dena came over to Midland to eat lunch with Luke and Rachel at school to celebrate Grandparents Day. The kids were so excited they came. We even got to eat Happy Meals for lunch, including me! Memaw Dena came as a surprise. It is pretty special to have your 92 year old Great Grandmother get to come eat lunch with you. It was such a fun morning Kate came home and went straight for her blanket and got on the couch and took a nap without being told. We are glad we got to celebrate Grandparents Day with the kids grandparents and mine as well!
