Video taken about 2 weeks ago

Grace wanted to help wrap a gift for Ava

We gave her the gift bag, the gift and the tissue and she went at it...too cute that she thought the tissue was to wrap the bag in...kinda makes sense huh?

Painting and snoozing...


Lesson learned...

A week or so ago, I had just put Grace to bed and Thomas was really fussy and it escalated until I got downstairs and propped him against this pillow so I could get the boppy ready to nurse him... and within seconds he was passed out just like this. All he wanted was to be put down to sleep!

Dinner the other night...

Had his 1 month well baby today...

He's 10 lbs 8 oz's! Started to get a good night routine of nursing one last time somewhere around 8 or 9, then sleeps til about 1 (last night it was 2!) then depending on his hunger level, will either nurse every 3 hours from that point on, or 2 hours, usually up for the day around 7. He may see a gastro specialist next week for either acid reflux or lactose intolerance we're not sure which is giving him such a hard time. But he just started smiling and cooing literally this morning which just makes my world...I think I'll keep him :)

"Seriously Mom? Is this necessary? I'm not liking this..."

"Ok, CLEARLY you didn't get the picture..."

My little helper...folded these washcloths all by herself and color coordinated them :)

Daddy's Home!!!! This was the night he came after being gone for a week in GA...

Hanging out with Daddy

Memories that will last a lifetime...it was so awesome to have my parents here...

Adorable little booties from Aunt Laurie...

Train table with lincoln logs added in to the mix

Sweet boy...I think I took this at some crazy hour like 2 a.m.


Brushing his hair after his first bath...

This little Hoffman LOVES LOVES LOVES his bath...

Seriously I'd give him 10 baths a day if I could...he's so alert and calm and happy. These are pictures from his very first bath...I should have known he'd love it when he loved the sponge baths we gave him until the umbilical cord fell off.

This little Hoffman, not so much...in the beginning anyway...


"Now listen here Mommy...sit still and SMILE"


Awesome new train table thanks to Pop pop!!

It's more of an activity table with a shelf underneath for storage but is mainly being used for the train tracks and lincoln log houses right now...so much fun. Thank you Dad! David had a blast working on it alongside him.

Some more awesome pictures my Dad took last week...
