1 month, 15 months & 3 going on 30

So I've been pretty busy and gotten behind on blogging so excuse me for that. I've just been busy healing, resting and getting use to the number 3!!!
3 being..... 3 kiddos. Not as bad as I thought to be honest. We actually have all been having a good time. Things are usually pretty chill except of course when 5 pm rolls around and the count down for bed time begins. Then everyone is not at their best....including me ;) Anyway here's a little update of our lives with our new addition :)



So we have a 1 month old, a 15 month old and of course a 3 year old.....going on 30. I'll let you guess what that means......but I'll get into that later.

LITTLE LINKIN-
What a sweet boy he is. All 3 of our babies have been very chill and easy, thank goodness. I was a little worried during this pregnancy of course b/c we still have a baby- Ms. Shelby but I thought 2 kids so far and looking good. Both have been good pretty easy going babies I was ready for number 3 to break the streak but so far so good. He's just like his older brother and sister were as a baby. Very sweet, quiet and lovable. He just chills, which I'm sure all new borns do. He loves to watch his big bro and sis. He likes the action! Shelby is very sweet with him and treats him like her baby, (natural maternal instincts) and of course Ethan and him are buds already. It's funny to hear Ethan talk to him like he understands him completely. It'll be fun to see how their relationship grows.


THE BROTHERS


(Ethan is 3 months in this picture while Linkin is 1 month)

I can see some similarities for sure, but I am the mom so of course I see it. Linkin isn't quite as "muscley" as little beefy EfyTom was but still they do have the same mouth & lips, Link is just a little bit slimmer than our Football player E was. They are both adorable and we're excited to see the brotherly bond grow.


STILL THE PRINCESS


Well this girl is still getting plenty of attention. We wanted to make sure that when Linkin came Ms. Shelby wouldn't be forgotten seeing as she's still a baby herself. Like I said this girl is a natural little mother, she is very gentle with little Linkin and always gives him sweet kisses and softly hugs him. I was worried how she would react but it's like she was prepared for it, I don't know how b/c she's so little and I'm sure it's hard for her to understand that now she's not the only little one. Her daddy has personally taken it upon himself to be sure of that and little Shelbel is loving daddy daughter time. I keep warning Nathan he's going to be in for it when she's older if he keeps this up. Needless to say he is wrapped around her finger and loving every minute of it.

& THE CHARMER



Despite this boys age he amazes me everyday. Ethan has really stepped up to be my helper. I didn't even expect it. I thought, well too bad my oldest wasn't a girl b/c I hear they are great helpers...natural little mothers and Shelby is still a baby herself but I didn't give Ethan enough credit. He is a wonderful little helper and never complains. I am amazed at this little guy. He is far beyond his age....like I said 3 going on 30 but not in a negative way. He is so mature and really my little buddy. Don't get me wrong he still is a little kid and of course there's a time out here and there but for the most part this guy is definitely a team player and for sure patient with his mommy. Sometimes Ethan will say things that put me in shock, like, "did you really just say that?" as a matter of fact Nathan and I have heard him say a few things that are very insightful and his reasoning skills are beyond a little 3 yr old. He just catches us off guard. But he still is a fun little active,........can I say "ACTIVE" little boy. My mom and I have joked, he's like the energizer bunny, he keeps going and going and going.........I wish I had his energy.

(hopefully I'll be able to get more pictures up soon)
