Lots of New

So to start with, Nathan finished the 60 day reading challenge from Scriptures 4 Kids and should be getting a $10 gift certificate to Deseret Book! Nathan also has gone 36 hours without his pacifier!!  Two bedtimes and a nap!!! We are so proud of him and I am grateful it has gone so smoothly!!

I started school this week and two of my classes I have the WRONG book!! So the correct books have been ordered and I hope they get here before my first assignments are due!! I am taking 15 credits and I hope it won't be too overwhelming... at least after the first few weeks:)

Ammon is growing and growing and streching out feedings a little longer (I got a three hour stretch-finally!!)

All in all we are doing great and hope you are too!!

Two Week Stats

Today I took Ammon to WIC and he was measured and weighed I was pleasantly surprised at the numbers!!

Weight: 9lbs 4 oz

Length: 20 3/4 inches

So I think it is safe to say our little one is not starving in the least! And who would be after eating every hour? :)

Belly Button and First Bath

Yesterday Ammon's belly button finally fell off!

This morning we gave Ammon his first bath!! I thought he would hate it as he throws a little fit everytime I dress and undress him... he hates being naked. But to my surprise he LOVED it!! I felt bad having to take him out! He just laid there and was so peaceful. A different experince than Nathan's first bath for sure:)

Nathan supervising:)

And here are some pics I took this morning! Getting soo big!!!

Two whole weeks old!! Getting too big too fast!!

Growing up too fast!!

There really should be some way to slow down time and be able to enjoy some of the sweet moments of life longer! Kids just grow up way too fast!! Here are some pics from the last week:)

We made ice cream the other night yummy!!! If you want the recipe click here

Nathan enjoyed licking the container....a lot!

8-9-10...100!!

Today our little Ammon is already 1 week old! Time sure flies:) This last week has been soo wonderful!! Having a new little boy added to our family, the wonderful support from family, Michael being so wonderful in doing everything around the house and Nathan stepping gracefully into the role of 'big brother' with both feet! It is so much fun to see the similarities and differences between brothers. One that I really enjoy is that Ammon will already sleep for a 3-4 hour stretch at night:) Nathan was every two hours... every two hours:) Here are some pics of Ammon and some of Nathan too. You can see the resemblence but they look so different too!! Hope you have a great week!!

Ammon chillin'

Brothers- Nathan really wants to play with Ammon

Happy 1 week birthday!

Ammon Robinson Wille

was born on

August 2, 2010

at 8:15 AM weighing in at 8 lbs. 2 oz and measuring 19 1/2 inches!!!

Our family of four!! :)

Nathan getting to meet his new little brother! He has been wonderful!!

So I went to bed Sunday night wondering yet again if this would be the last night I had to try and sleep with this baby in my tummy. I dreamt that I was having contractions and then was awakened at 1 AM by Nathan who had fallen out of bed! When I returned to bed I realized that the contractions were REAL and they were about 2-3 minutes apart. I waited about 1/2 an hour before waking Michael. We then called my Mom to come and stay with Nathan. She showed up ten minutes later with my sister Monica (who hadn't even gone to bed yet!). We went to the hospital. They said I was still between a 2 and 3 cm dialated but they would keep me for a while. I continued to dialate 1 cm every hour and at 8:15 AM after two contractions of pushing little Ammon was born! I was soo grateful that this labor was much quicker than Nathans (he was a 22 hour baby). We were able to come home last night and it is soo great to be home!!

Nathan adores his baby! When he came to visit me yesterday, they had taken Ammon for his circ. and Nathan about lost it... "wheres baby??!!" We found him and Nathan was very relieved. He has been like that ever since. Very concerned about the whearabouts of his little brother! Ammon has his days and nights pretty mixed up (he woke up EVERY hour last night) but hopefully we will get all that straigtened out before long! Hope all is great with you all!!

Yaw!!

When I went to a couple of yard sales on Saturday, I found a straw cowboy hat that I knew Nathan would love to wear when riding his horsys around the house. Here is a video of his response:) It's a little dark but if you go to full screen you can see it better!

Ain't he just the cutest cowboy?

Friday Date Night

Friday night was lots of fun!!! To start things off, Nathan gave me a beautiful flower he picked on his own and gave to me all by himself!! I wore it in my hair for the evening and felt very special that I recieved my first flower from my little boy!! Michael took us out to the Airport Cafe (which really is in the airport here in Riverton) Nathan was not a fan of the real stuffed animals they had in the lobby but he sure was a fan of his dinner choice- one HUGE panacake! He ate most of it and was actually a really good little boy! We were lucky and for most of our visit it was only us so it was quiet and nice. Michael's and my food wasn't as good as Nathan's but the trip out as a family was way worth it.

My beautiful flower (I am soo keeping it!)

Happy on the way to dinner!!

A panacake as big as he is!!

"Daddy bite?"

Last night we went to the twilight parade for the Fair this week. Nathan absolutly HATED the fire engines and semi trucks!! The horns sent him into a fit!! I swear he screamed louder than the sirens!! We were lucky to be standing in front of Jerry's Flowers and Things and the owner kindly offered the inside of the store for Nathan to stand in with Daddy until the trucks were gone. However, Nathan LOVED seeing the horses and one of the men running for Sheriff this year played "Bad Boys" from his float and Nathan really enjoyed the song! All in all its been a great weekend!!
