In Love.....

The countdown is on:(

Only 8 more days until I go back to work. I am so sad about it!! I cannot believe that my little baby is almost seven weeks old. I know that going back to work will be so difficult!!! I cried for a week straight with Ford. I probably will do the same with Finlee. Atleast I am leaving them with the most amazing woman. Their sitter is a god send. She is so good with my children. That is my only saving grace!!! Finlee is doing so well. She is just so different from Ford. She is so laid back and easy going. She is doing well being breast fed so I am going to keep going with that even though I am going back to work! PUMP, PUMP, PUMP!! She does not have the tummy issues that Ford did, so I hate to try anything else with her and I love our time while feeding!! It is 8:30 and both children are sleeping in their own beds!!! We have been trying so hard to get them on a schedule together!! We definitly have a routine down. Bathtime has always been a daddy and Ford thing so that is still the same. So while daddy is bathing Ford, I am bathing Finlee. I cannot wait until they can bathe together! It will be much easier. Bedtime has always been a mommy and Ford thing!! Ford will not let anyone put him to bed at home but mommy!! It is our time!! So while I am laying with him, daddy is rocking Finlee. Then when Ford is asleep, I go and nurse her and she goes down. I am hoping this will continue!!! Things are starting to get normal around here!! Having two beautiful children is a blessing!!! We cherish every moment, even the two year old moments. Which by the way here is a funny one!!! Daddy was bathing Ford and he noticed he was tightening his butt. Jolee asked if he needed to go poopoo and I told him that probably not since he already went today for me on the potty!! Low and behold he squeezes out the longest terd ever. Jolee says why did you poopoo in the tub. Ford says " It's not poopoo, it's a tail" Typical Fordy!!!! Here are some cute pictures of my sweet babies!

Finlee's First month

We went for Finlee's one month checkup yesterday. She now weighs 10lbs. 12oz. YEAH!! She is gaining perfectly. She is in the 81% for her age, but she did start out in the percent so she is doing great. She got her second Hepatitis B shot and cried!! It was so sad!!! Life at the Thompson house is great. She is sleeping well through the night only getting up once now! Ford is getting used to the fact that she is not going anywhere and he is being such a good big brother and helper. They are so cute together!!

My sweet babies!!

Pictures

A friend of mine is a photographer and she took the beautiful pictures of Ford and Finlee. I wanted some really natural pictures and these turned out perfect!!! I atleast got a good one of them by themselves. Ford apparently did not want to touch or hold her that day no matter how many skittles he recieved!! Even though he did not want to touch her they turned out pretty cute!! It matches his personality!!

Doing Great!!!!

Things are finally getting back to normal. Finlee is doing great. She is such a sweet and good baby. Ford is doing very good with her. He has his moments when he is rough but he is a boy and very hyper. Daddy started potty training boot camp this week. Ford is doing pretty good. He definitly has peepee down, but still working on poopoo. He has always had issues with pooping and gas and he does not want to do it on the potty, but he is starting to now. He is such a big helper at home when he wants to be!!! He is definitly going to make Finlee tough and show her the ropes! He is such a sweet boy. Here are some recent pictures!
