How we spend our days.

I'm homeschooling the girls, so we start our mornings with school work. This involves Bible time, craft time, and learning the alphabet and our numbers. This day, we made caterpillars out of egg cartons. The girls really enjoyed it!
After school, we usually hang out in the living room and play.
Noah practices tummy time.
Hannah is starting to like to get her picture taken.
Sarah hangs out. Do you see my gorgeous Ketti handbag?? Love.
Silly girl!
Ooooh, Sarah.
Noah is practicing his "Superman" pose.
Handsome boy!
We try out the swing for a bit each day. He's starting to enjoy it, which allows me a few minutes to get things done.
If the swing fails, he's almost always comfy in his bouncer.

Noah's a Month Old!

I can not believe how fast time is going. It feels like just yesterday I was pregnant and waiting for his arrival. I took these the day Noah turned four weeks old.
Then on his actual one monthday. It was over 80 degrees, which is really warm for this time of year, so we headed outside for pictures. I loved how these turned out!
He is such a good boy. He's still waking up two to three times a night to nurse, but he'll sometimes give us a solid three or four hours of sleep, so I'm happy.

We had his one month checkup the other day, and he's up to 9lbs 9oz and is 20 3/4 inches. I couldn't believe he was already over 9lbs! He is officially the biggest Price baby to date at this age! We love everything about this precious boy and couldn't be more blessed to have him in our family!

Life with 3

Life with 3 is chaotic, but beautiful.
I feel so blessed to have three beautiful, healthy children.

My girls

They love to ham it up for the camera!
Sisters.
I love that Noah's little toes are in the picture.

Noah's Newborn Pics!

I was so excited to take Noah's newborn pictures. We didn't really have a chance to get everything set up until he was eight days old.

Micah took the girls to church, so I had the house to myself. I was so worried he wouldn't sleep, but he was such a good baby! I was able to get all but one shot by myself.

Micah came home and put the girls down for a nap, then helped me with this pose. Noah wasn't really a fan.

The next day, I tried to get all of the kids' pics taken.

The first few weeks as a family of 5.

This is late, but I still want to write it all down.

The girls adjusted so well to our new family member. We really haven't noticed any jealousy from either one of them. They love to cuddle with him, give him kisses, cover him with a blanket, and sing to him if he cries.

As always, a new baby means a whole list of "firsts". First time in his crib.
First sponge bath at home. Pics courtesy of Micah since I was the one bathing him. :)
First stretch-out session. ;)
Noah weighed 6 lbs 10 oz at his five day well baby visit. He had gained three ounces since his D/C from the hospital, so we were pleased. He loves to eat, and nurses every 1 1/2 to 2 hours when he's awake, but can go for stretches of like four hours when he's sleeping. On average, he usually makes it between 2-4 hour stretches at night and is usually up twice to nurse. We just love him to pieces and are so blessed that he's in our family.
