My Beautiful Baby

Roman went to the Dr. last friday. He is 14 pounds 8 oz. and 23 inches long--that puts him in the 95th percentile for weight and the 90th percentile for heighth. How sweet is that. Thank you for your prayers. He cried during his shots, but was quick to calm down and never got sick (not even a little fever). Thank you Lord.

Please be praying for Roman tomorrow--it's shot day. We're claiming that he won't be sick afterwards .

He's so sweet, and he's so close to cracking up---I can't wait.

Out with the girls......and Mr. Roman

Today was such a fun day. Grandma, Aunt Lisa, Jenn and Sophie came up to see us. We had such a fun time eating, shopping and visiting. Here are some pics from our day. Funny memories...

1) Before we left the house we were talking about what we were going to do and where we were going to eat-grandma said " Does anyone feel like shopping? Sophie answered exuberantly "Yeah"

2)Poor Sophie had a very long day and she was very unhappy. She started to scream (for what seemed like a long time)while we were in the mall (this mall is all outdoors). Grandma said," I wonder what she would do if we all started to scream like her so......we all let out a big loud scream just like her. She turned back and looked at us real fast. Her look was priceless her eyebrows furrowed and her mouth was open. It was like she was thinking "Who are those crazy people."

She is precious. She calls Roman , Baby Ro Ro. She's getting to be such a big girl. Roman did really good. He was spoiled real good. : )

I'm so glad they came. It was so fun to see them. Very Refreshing

My Little Talker.......

Well I wanted you to have another video to watch when you got home from picking up the girls. He's a little talker---like his mama. Precious one....

Oh any advise anyone might have would be greatly appreciated...Roman only catnaps during .the day. he sleeps maybe 30 minutes a few times during the day. I need him to sleep more consistently. Any idea

This is my first time to record a video and put it on my blog. I know it's bit fuzzy looking--if anyone knows how to do this let me know. It's like the pixels are too big (if that even makes sense). He was playing in his bouncy just a talking so I tried to capture a bit of conversation. Mom, isn't his voice just too sweet?

Well I discovered You Tube. John Mark and I had a good time last night listening to these worship songs. They are amazing. God is so good. Listen and be blessed

....And Roman definately is a blessing. Today was our first rainy day since he's been born. The day we brought him home it rained all day. Since then we've had showers, but today was our first rainy day so we had fun taking pictures, I made cramy potato soup (yummy), and we broke out the fun fall candles. I'm looking so forward to the cool weather. Thats my favorite time of the year.

Roman continues to grow a lot. It really does go by as fast as people say it goes. I have about 4 more weeks of maternity. Please pray for me I'm really struggling with the thought of going back to work. I'm only going back part time, but even still I'm dreading it really really dreading it.

Well enjoy the pictures, and have a good week

Cute Pics and Birthday Cakes

John Mark works with a very talented lady. She made this for Roman before he was born. Isn't it beautiful. My favorite are the sweet little booties. He is so sweet. We went to the promenade yesterday. He did so well. It was beautiful outside. He loves to have the breeze blowing in his hair. I wish I had taken my camera--I missed some great photo time. Anyways, here are some pictures of my first birthday cake. Haven turns 5 on the 4th so we are having a birthday party this afternoon. I decided to make a ladybug cake. Her (the ladybug's) eyes look scary to me. It was fun. I want to take a cake class to learn how to decorate. This was my first try. It was a lot of fun to do it.

A Peak At The Cuteness To Come

GRRRRR...........Roman's going to be a lion for halloween. He's super cute in his outfit, but I don't want to spoil the fun so here he is with his mane on. Isn't he precious????

Fun new toys

Thanks JuJu and Grandpa for my new toy!!!! I don't know what we are going to call mom, but I think JuJu's cute. Anyways, he loves his bouncy....loves it. He sits and falls asleep everytime he gets in it. Here are some pics of him in it.

Check out these smiles

Roman is really gettinjg into smiling. He kicks his feet and gives big gummy grins. Ohhhhh..... I just can't get enough of this kiddo. Enjoy!!!!!

Mom thank you so much for the cute clothes. I haven't been able to get a hold of you, but all of them are so cute. You did so good making the sleeper. John Mark loves the paw print one. They are going to fit perfect for when it gets cooler outside. John Mark's not sure if he'll be able to wear the canadian onesie : ) Just kidding. I'll post pictures of him in it. Love you

Well we are back from Branson and we had such a good time. Roman did great. He slept a lot probably because it was so darn hot. It was good family time. It was good to spend time with everyone. We haven't seen a lot of Kelley and Darnelle and we enjoyed are time visiting with them. We're super excited about our new niece or nephew. I can't wait to see what "it" is. As you can see in the following pics. Harbin was super cute this weekend. He is getting so big. He is 6 1/2 months older than Roman. They will be good friends. Harbin's cute around Roman. He just stares at him and smiles. I just wonder what he thinks. One thing about Harbin is he smiles non-stop so much that it makes your face hurt. I love that boy. Cambron and Haven, well they are bundles of energy. As you can see in the picture below we entertained ourselved by seeing who fit in the end table cabinet. Haven of course can fit perfectly in there. She's so little.....and so darn cute even when she's being a stinker.

Funny things Haven said this weekend:

"Mom, I just found a grand daddy strong legs."

Also, I was nursing Roman on my bed and Haven came in and sat right beside me . She stared for a minute, and so I started to explain to her that this is how Roman eats. I was trying to explain it so she would understand. She interrupted and said, very matter of fact like " It's ok Stephanie my mom fed my baby with her boobies too." I just laughed. What a funny kid.

Well here are some pictures of our cool family. Aunt Britt is here in Northwest Arkansas and we are really enjoying having her around. isn't this pic cute of her. She's beautiful. When you think about it say a prayer for her she is doing her last bit of school student teaching in Rogers. It's hard being in a new place with all; new people. so keep her in your prayers.

Well i should help JM with dinner.....have a good day

Fun in Branson

We're back from Branson and we had a great time. Here are some new pictures. I want to write more about our time, but my sweet little guy is very frustrated so I better go let him eat.
