little brothers

i brought jude in the high chair over to where i was doing laundry this morning

and henry came down looking for bullets for his nerf gun

then sat in the laundry basket and said it's his hide out

 aiming at his little brother..

 look at the way jude is looking at henry

 peek-a-boo

i love these little boys

and our mornings together while eleanor is at pre-school

valentine's day 2017

eleanor was so cute going to her preschool party

the day before valentine's day

i don't think she knew how awesome it would be 

her mind was blown by all the candy and treats she got

she did such a good job writing "ella" on all her valentine's, too

 she put this heart on jude

 i tried to make it special for the kids

with little boxes of chocolates, conversation hearts and a little love note for each one

 i made them pink pancakes, too

they loved it

 the little ones and i met michael at teriyaki for a lunch date

 hazel wore all pink for ballet

 we got guido's for dinner

and ate it standing up at the counter 

so romantic

 cutest little tiny valentine

it was a pretty great day to celebrate our love

Ju Ju B Olson is 4 months old

i took a million pictures of jude on his 4 month birthday

he is such a sweet baby

he is outgrowing his fussiness and sleeping better and better (thanks to his sleepsack/swaddler)

he loves to eat his hands, is a great nurser, and makes us incredibly happy

knowing he's our last one makes all the little milestones feel extra special

he loves to take baths, can roll from front to back, is starting to reach and grab things, 

is quick to laugh, and is getting in a pretty good routine

he and henry even nap at the same time most days! hooray!

and now the million pictures i promised

isn't he just the sweetest little babe?

at his 4 month check up today he weighed 14 lbs 14 oz and was 24 inches long

he was in the 35% for weight, 7% height and 73% for head... yep, that's our baby!
i should also mention he is our only baby that (already!) loves pattycake, peekaboo, being tickled, people playing with his feet, funny noises
he is so much fun to play with
and on the verge of getting his bottom teeth already

we love you ju ju!
