The leprechaun came...

...but he forgot chocolate. And Caidence was sure to let me know. He brought green Pringles and gold Funyuns and rainbow licorice, green gum, green cookies for Trey, and Lucky Charms. But he must have missed the chocolate. He did make a pit stop in the bathroom, though. I made green eggs and ham for breakfast. Gag! Nothing looks more unappetizing, but the kids loved them!

Jordyn's Birthday Weekend!

Jordyn got a birthday date this year instead of a party. She chose to go swimming. The rec center pool was supposed to be dyed green for St. Patrick's weekend, but it didn't look any different. But we had fun anyways! She even shared her date with some of her cousins. 

Trey wasn't too sure about this swimming thing. A little colder than he's used to. 

Zach and I gave her a bike and she hasn't been off of it since!

Caidence picked out her own present for Jord and she loved it!

Sunday she invited all her Eldredge cousins over to Grandma and Grandpa's for a BBQ and ice cream and watermelon cupcakes that she picked out. 

Jord loves bagels so when she saw an ad for green bagels on St. Patrick's day, that's what she wanted for her school treat. (Then she told me she didn't even eat hers because the teacher put some white stuff on it, the cream cheese!)

I can't believe she's already 4! She's our little comedian/tease. She loves to somersault and somersault...and somersault. She's a snacker, but a terrible eater. And her size shows it. She wants to play or live at anyone's house, but her own. She loves baby dolls or whatever Caidence is playing. Or playing on my phone. She can sing the words to any song on the radio and wants to be a rockstar. Happy birthday Jordy!

T's first haircut

Trey was blessed with a full head of gorgeous hair when he was born. The top just kept growing, while the back and sides slowed down. His combover was getting a little out of control so I decided it was time. At only 7 months old I cut off over 2 inches! But man does he look handsome!

We are a happy family!

The Primary has been asking for a family picture since the beginning of the year. We did not have one single picture of all of us together, not even the typical first full family picture you're supposed to take at the hospital when the new baby is born. So Sunday before church we were all dressed and ready so we hurry and had my mom take some. And one of them has most of us looking. :)

Fish Face!

Trey has been giving me fish lips a lot lately. It's darling! While I was feeding him today I started making a fish face at him and he'd study my mouth and once I'd stop he'd try and imitate. It took a few tries, but he finally figured out what I was doing! I was so proud. :)

Then he decided he was done with pictures and just wanted to eat. I gave him the spoon for his bowl of bananas. I was cringing as he was mushing his fingers in it and wiping it all over his clothes, but just let him have at it. And then straight to the bath!

Seven Months

Holy cow! 7 months. Before I know it we'll be celebrating his birthday. Trey is still the clingy mama's boy he's always been. He may never learn to crawl or walk because he doesn't spend enough time on the ground! At least he hasn't gotten a bald patch on the back of his head. In fact, he's got quite the combover going on. He did learn to roll over back to stomach and has started to scoot a little so I guess he is on the ground sometimes. :) He's loving any and all food now. He tries to grab whatever anyone is eating. And it's showing in his cute cheeks and chubby thighs. He loves to go outside and loves watching cars drive past on our walks. He loves when I read him books and sing songs. He's getting very vocal (and is starting to make the dada sound no matter how much I keep working on mama.) Trey is finally getting pretty into a schedule. He wakes up around 7-8, eats and plays for an hour or two, naps from 9:30-11, eats and plays until we take the girls to school. Then he'll nap while they are at school. The morning one he'll sleep on his own. The afternoon one he only sleeps if I'm holding him for some reason. Baby steps. After the girls get home he eats dinner, plays, and is ready for bed around 7:30-8. He'll sleep about an hour, wake up and eat again, and then goes to bed when we do around 10. I'd like to say then he's down for the night, but he's still up a few times at night to eat. Not sure if this would change if he wasn't nursing, but I'm hoping it won't be long before we can get a full nights sleep. Been 7 months since I've experienced one of those! But no complaints! This guy is worth the bags under the eyes!
