Seven Month Photos! Chicken Pox!!!


Wow, I really cannot believe Spencer is already seven months old. It is going by so quickly! 

He has been very busy learning to roll over and sit up. He loves to watch his brothers play, and will sit in their midst for quite a while watching and "talking" to them. They all seem to get along very well. 

Spencer also loves to be held, and of course dislikes being alone - especially waking up after naptime. Maybe it's good he's going to share a room with Logan! 

Anyway, here are some photos of him at seven months: 



In other news, poor Logan ended his birthday with a trip to the pediatrician, and Chicken Pox! We were going for his annual well-child visit anyway so that was lucky. 

Logan is just shy of 3' tall, and 28 lbs. Apart from the Chicken Pox he's doing great. It's funny I didn't know kids still contracted Chicken Pox...now that there is a vaccine for it. It seems that is just my ignorance concerning vaccines. 

The Chicken Pox vaccine is a series of two. Our doctor said the first shot is 90% effective and the second is 95% effective. This makes sense when you consider you can still have the flu after a flu shot - but you should only have a mild case. Logan has only had the first vaccination. So he was in the unlucky 10%! But there are anti-vitals now to give him, and he's only sprouted about 5 pox. Nothing like the misery I went through!!! 

Spencer hasn't had any vaccinations for Chicken Pox yet, but he does share my antibodies and so far he's okay, but we are keeping our eyes peeled for bumps! Jack has had both, so we aren't too worried about him. We just feel for everyone who was at our house for the party! 

Until next time...

Cut Out the Middle Man

I t was snack time at the Christensen house and I decided to use up some leftover cream cheese and salsa and chips (just lying around -I promise!!) Jack, as it turns out is new to the world of dipping. I used some of his crunchies and dipped it in the salsa cheese mix. He seemed to enjoy the flavor of it. I went into the kitchen to fix us both a drink and when I came back out I realized that Jack decided he'd had enough of the middle man and went right into dipping with the tools God gave him! I laughed so hard I had to share it with you! No One's Around to Catch Me... E xcep t Mom and her camera... I guess he thought it was good bean dip! He ate the rest of the bowl!!

7 Weeks Old!

All Dressed Up and Nowhere to Go! Smile for Daddy! Baby, You Can Drive My Car Well, Little Jack is almost 8 weeks old now.  He has been a busy boy, and we are starting to get into a more regular routine. I think it is good for all involved.  We usually get up about when Daddy does at 5:00.  Sometimes we get another nap after that first meal, but sometimes we don't. And that's OK.   Our new nighttime routine involves bath-time at 7:00 (on bath days) so that he can eat and drift off to sleep and maybe give Mom and Dad an hour before their 9:00 bedtime.   Jack can still usually go 4 hours at night. Sometimes we are unlucky and he gets up every 2 hours.  This is rare now.  Sometimes we are very lucky and  he'll sleep 6 to 8 hours.  Not too often, but it is a taste of things to come.  He is getting really good at holding his head up.  I think he gets bored on some days because you cannot just leave him in his bouncy seat - he cries and cries.  He went into the doctor's last...

Second First: First day of School!

Well, the day finally came. It felt like we waited a long time, but the day arrived quickly nonetheless. The first day of school! Maybe it seemed to come so soon since the kids start school when they are 2 1/2 or 3 now. Guess there's more to learn than when I was a kid, LOL. It was more stressful than I thought to select a school. We visited a few local(ish) schools and finally settled on Holy Cross Lutheran Early Learning Center . It's only 15 minutes away, which is pretty close for where we live. We liked this preschool mainly because of the small size of the classes. And when we took Jack for a tour he seemed the most comfortable. So I guess in the end the choice was pretty simple - I just over worry about things most of the time. So he goes Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 9:00 - 12:00. It's an adjustment for all of us, but so far so good. Ready to Leave  That was Jack all ready to go on the first day. Eventually he'll grow into that backpack. B...
