The Move to Auburn!

We have moved to Auburn!!  Kurt got a new job down here and he started on February 4th.  So far he loves it and loves his coworkers, so I'm so glad he's happy in his job.  We are currently living at Mama Becky and Daddy Mer's condo while we try to sell our house in Moody, so we are very grateful for that.  They are so gracious to let us live here for free and we couldn't be happier being back down on The Plains! :-)

Jack and Charlie have adjusted well to living here, plus Jack loves his new school!  We enrolled him at the preschool at First United Methodist Church in Opelika and he goes on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays.  He's in the advanced 3 year old class and is doing very well! They had a school program last week and he did so great!  (Post about program coming soon!)

Charlie has been adjusting well, too, and he keeps growing like a weed everyday!  Since we've been down here he had his 6 month check up with his new doctor, Dr. Lee Johnson at the Pediatric Clinic, and he was 19 lbs 8 oz and 27.5 inches long.  He is 85% in weight, 95% in length. He is sitting up playing now (for the most part), rolling over like crazy, and sleeping on his belly.  We are still struggling a little getting him to sleep through the night, but we are working on it! Needless to say Mommy and Daddy are tired!  He is eating baby food now and loves every bite!  He gets fussy when I don't spoon it in fast enough!

Both boys give me so much joy everyday and I am so blessed to be their mama!  Auburn has been wonderful for us so far and I can't wait to make more memories here!

Here are some pictures from the last 2 months! Yes, there are lots! :-)

Charlie on his 5 month birthday, also the day we moved!


Happy boy!


 Thanks so Daddy Mer and Mama Becky's season tickets, Jack got to go to almost every home basketball game!  He was the best fan there!  He even got to be a part of the kid dunk contest and he came in a very close 2nd! Charlie got to go to a couple, too!

Charlie's 4 Month Check-up

Back in January, Charlie had his 4 month check-up and shots at the doctor.  He did so well with his shots just like at his 2 month appointment!  I think I remember Jack screaming for a while, plus being puny all day, but Charlie showed he could handle it.  He weighed a whopping 17 lbs 13 oz and was 25 1/2 inches long!  He was such a chunky monkey!  That is up from 8 lbs 4 oz and 19 1/4 inches from birth.  He was at 95% for weight and 50% for height.  Big and healthy boy!

Sweet boy posed and performed for the camera! :-)


I had to share this picture comparing Jack and Charlie both at 4 months!  So similar!
