Eli had his 1 month appointment today. We went to the doctor while the big boys went to the babysitter.








 We had a good appointment. Eli weighs 11 pounds 12.5 ounces and is 22.5 inches long.

One Month!

The newest little Hoesli is 1 month old.
He is doing so well and is usually the happiest little baby.
He is starting to find his voice and he is making more sounds these days.
He is eating 3.5-4 oz every 2.5 hours doing the day. Usually at night, he will sleep for 5 hours in between feedings.
During the day he will eat and stay up for an hour or so and then take a nap.
He takes 1 long 3 hour nap in the afternoon and 2 short (1 hour) naps.
He is becoming more observant and likes to look around.
He really likes to be swaddled and he loves his pacifier.

My boys love to cut, use markers, and glue. It keeps them busy for about 2 minutes. :)





They love to play with Eli. They get concerned when he cries and try to give him toys to make him happy.





They love to do puzzles and they have quite the collection to keep them busy.





They also love to watch movies. Their favorites are Cars, Toy Story, Lion King, and Tangled.

The boys have been doing a lot of playing and making things lately.








Baby Eli has been doing a lot of sleeping.

We have been really blessed with a pretty easy transition for our two older boys with Eli's arrival. It has not been perfect and we have had a few hard and jealous moments.

We have been hanging around the house a lot and enjoying our 3 boys.

This is my new look. I am in my comfy clothes most every day, all day. I know Sheldon is ready to see me in normal clothes! :)



The older boys are in costumes 90% of the time. They do not get dressed either. They go straight from pajamas to costumes.



Our newest baby is doing so well. He is sleeping and eating like a champ.



Max really likes to play games on our phones. One of his favorites is Water. Sheldon has really become interested in it too!



Sheldon is such a good dad and our boys are lucky to have him.

We recently had a few special visitors. Grandpa Mark and Mr. Rick came to visit. They had big plans to go shooting and take the boys out, but the snow and wind put a damper on things.

Instead, they stayed home and played games.





Talked and visited.


Helped make Valentine's for our friends.




We had a great visit. We can't wait to do it again!

We have had quite a bit of snow recently. The big boys have really been enjoying playing in it!

We have had a special Valentine's Day. It is Sheldon's last day off so we went to breakfast.



Max and Crocker go to a baby sitter on Tuesday mornings, so we just had 1 little boy with us.



We had a good breakfast and it was fun to get out of the house.



Eli got his Valentine's Day present a few days early and he has really enjoyed playing with it!





We have been celebrating all weekend. The boys have been receiving packages in the mail with fun surprises.



We had a special lunch for the boys when they got home.





After lunch, they ate candy and opened their present.



Max was just a little excited!!!





Eli was getting hungry and I could not feed him fast enough!



After lunch, I was able to get a picture of our 3 love bugs!



While the boys were taking their nap, I got a special delivery from my sweet husband.



After naps, it was time to cook dinner and play Crocker's new game. Sheldon grilled steak, potatoes, and corn on the cob.



The boys were a little excited about playing the game.






My little love bug after dinner.
