Snow-FUN!

Last night we had gotten about 5- 6 inches of snow. Our very gray/ brown dingy winter was magically transformed to beautiful white. Work for me was called off so I packed up the kids and went to where there was more yard to play in. To the Moss house for fun in the snow: four wheeler rides, pulled behind on sled and a snow person (we couldn't decide if it was a boy or girl). Seth and I stayed inside and fun Aunt SueAnny took the kids out side to play. The snow was nice and wet and heavy but the weather was nice for playing out side. I was beginning to think that Matt would not be able to enjoy playing in snow this year and I got snow gear that fits for no reason. I am glad he was able to use it at least once.

Snow is fun to eat.


Cute little Livy!


Building a snow person.


All done!

Seth: 4 Months Old

This is so Rob, No smiling. He looks tons like Matt but yet still different. Can't put my finger on it.

It seams like our little guy has been part of the family forever already but it has only been 4 short months. So fare Seth and Matt get along just fine, but we will see if that holds true once Seth starts taking Matt's toys. Life in our house is sometimes crazy and sometimes a joy. Matt is getting even more funny everyday. He enjoys talking to Seth and can understand when I need to take care of Seth and not play with him. He even tells me I can't leave the house without Seth. One time he got really nervous that him and I had left the house to go to the store and Seth had stayed home with dad. It took some convincing but we got it straightened out.

Seth went to go see the doc for a check up and all is well. My little bundle of joy is over 15 pounds and wearing 6 month size clothing (he is huge!). Funny how Seth came out smaller than Matt did but is now bigger than Matt was at this time. Goes to show you no two kids are the same. Seth can do lots of things already! Even the doctor commented on how advanced her seamed to be.

He can . . . . . . .
  • Smile and laugh (love those baby laughs)
  • Blow bubbles and rattle his lips (he has been blowing bubbles from day one and rattling his lips for a while now)
  • Loves to stand on his feet (supported) rather than lay down
  • Thinks he can sit up (but not yet, as hard as he tries)
  • Can grab an object held out in front of him
  • Doesn't like a lot of belly time
  • Loves to see all the action and would rather be carried around than left on the floor.
  • Turn to the side from his back to reach a toy
  • Screech with joy ( my little pterodactyl)
  • Grab his toes, can't get them in his mouth his belly is in the way
We do love having him in our family. It makes for some crazy time but those giggles are worth it. I am excited to see what little personality is going to come from this happy baby.

We got one with him smiling !!!!

Just like Daddy

I was looking at my photos and came across a funny coincidence

Dad's favorite sleeping position, arms up.


Matt could wiggle out of any blanket wrap job just so he could sleep like dad.


Seth really wanted to be like dad and big brother.


I understand Matt and Seth wanted to stretch after a tight living space,
but Dad. ?
I am feeling out numbered here.
