Tweetle @ 3.5 months

Wow! What a difference a month makes. Last time I updated, Twain was waking up every 2 to 3 hours to eat at night. Thankfully, he now goes to bed around 8 or 9pm and only wakes up once or twice during the middle of the night.







I can no longer blame my scatter-brain on sleep deprivation. I actually feel part human again. It's nice to join you all again.

Twain, at 3.5 months:

You have rejected your cute orange binkies, in favor of your fingies. You make quite the ruckus sucking on them. As long as we are not in church, I am ok with all the slurping racket.


Speaking of fingers, you have squishy little hands with the cutest little dimples. I could eat them right up, so I don't blame you for trying to eat them too.


You love to view the world around you and so you don't really like to lay down. You would much rather sit in your exersaucer--which is bright yellow, red and blue--so it is not worthy of photo documentation {Why can't they make baby equipment in neutral colors like tan or grey?? I guess that would not be very stimulating for the baby...but who cares! Fashion over function!}.


You absolutely LOVE to stand while I hold you up. You always dig your tiny toesies into my legs. You have the funniest posture. You look like a little bull dog. You are around 14 pounds and last appointment you were 50th percentile height and 75th percentile weight. Such a big boy!


Your greatest form of entertainment is gazing at your mama, daddy and brothers' faces.


You are a morning person and start your day by coo-ing, squealing and talking. You are my first baby that likes to talk a lot. It is a huge treat for me to hear you serenade me each morning. And even though I am NOT a morning person, there is nothing more in this world that I would rather wake up to.




You LOVE to be held...pretty much all the time. And for a 4th child, you sure make out like a bandit.

You are a fuss-bucket during the day, unless we are on the go. So I run A LOT of errands with you, especially at Target. You sit quietly in your stroller and play with your hands and think.


As for me, 3.5 months into this "4 kid" thing:

I love having 4 kids. It's chaotic, but fun. I am happy.{John took the following photos of me}




I am still not eating sweets. I have lost count of the weeks. I am no longer counting. I guess it's now a habit. Although I will eat any fun little treat that has honey instead of sugar. And I read that raw maple syrup is very healthy too, though very costly!

I am still doing my prenatal pilates, though I think I am ready to step it up a notch.
I would like to run every day, but am going to "cross-train"(as John calls it) with roller blading because my knees were getting a little swollen pounding the pavement every day. Kind of a bummer.


I am still not ready to jump back into my little side-business of embroidering tees and blankets. I am just content "to be" mama these days.

Though I think there is nothing funner than making Twain little onesies. And what baby wouldn't want to wear a onesie with a sweater-clad wiener dog? Someone sure had a sense of humor when they bred that kind of pup.

I think I love my job as a stay-at-home mom, more and more every day if that is possible.

Twain, I love you! These months are precious to me. Try to stay small-ish!

  10. What a wonderful post. It is obvious that you love your boys and your life.

    Your boys are handsome and charming. Twain has fabulous marshmallowy legs. Does he get tired of you chewin' on them?

    I look forward to seeing the new outfits you come up with when you are ready to get back to it. I think you have the right attitude about it though; you should enjoy this time as much as possible as long as possible.

  16. He is so cute. I love him! We need another playdate/lunch so I can squish those adorable little legs! Zoe too is as happy as can be in the morning. It is hard to feel "put out" when they wake you up and act so cute and talk and smile at you when you peer into their bed.

    And you look AMAZING!

  17. So great to see such a healthy chubby bub. My little girl is 8 months and off the charts chubby and sometimes I feel like I have a Michelin baby but seeing Twain helps me feel a bit better. Chubby is OK. In fact it's a sign of good health (just reassuring myself here, I've only had one, and you've had four!) Keep up the good work, and I love your blog!

  29. Reading through this post made me tear up Davi, you were most definitely BORN to be the amazing mother of 4 boys that you are. Every time I'm getting all stubborn and defiant about not having anymore children (who would undoubtedly be boys lol!) I come ot your blog and read and my heart MELTS. You are amazing. Seriously.
    The pictures that John took of you two together are just BEAUTIFUL and Twain is still the most edible baby boy I have seen in a lonnnnnnnnnng time, I seriously want to take a bite of those leggies!!!!!! He is delicious LOL!
    I adore the clothes you make for him, and I think I NEED to know your secrets to having such fabulously dressed boys, they always look so great!!
