Baby Stuff

My name is Lauren..and im obsessed with baby stuff.
I have a bad addiction at wanting stuff for them...and in the back of my mind I know that they will never know what I didnt get for them at this age.
My friend Katy had me loving consignment sells recently. We got lots of clothes hopefully for late spring and summer. It has been fun sorting through thier stuff and putting it in thier closet. I probably have been through thier stuff several times this week. At least the sales are now over until August.
I also need to start thinking about a walking stroller and high chairs. I just wish thier was some magic button to tell me which one is best for me. I get so many mixed opinions. There are certain things I want for my long term stroller: able to go on walks outside with it..adult and childen cup holders...and storage for the diaper bag. You would think with just 3 criteria it would be easy to find..but its not.
As for high chairs I cant decide between a floor standing one ..or table attaching kind.
These decisions are so complicated.

Our Boys @ 4 months

It has been a really long time since I blogged but I dont have a lot of time on my hands these day :).
The boys had thier 4 month appointment today and it went very well.
Jackson came in weighing 10.1 lbs and was 22.25 in long. Joshua came in weighing 9.3 lbs and was 22 inches long.
Thier 3rd month was a pretty exciting one for us.
*They started smiling at us for the first time and then started cooing and laughing. They are the most beautiful sights and sounds we've ever heard.
*They have also started to sleep almost through the night.
*Jackson has finally graduated to 0-3 month clothes and size 1 diapers.
*Joshua is still in Newborn diapers and clothes but it trying to catch up.
*They enjoy laying on the floor more often to kick thier legs around.
*We managed to get out of the house a couple of times this past month to go to a few stores and to visit grandparents.
* They still love thier pacifiers and are enjoying the new vanilla scented ones we got them.

The doctor said this month to lay them on the floor more often to practice rolling from side to side. He also said at 5 1/2 months to start feeding them cereal. Hes pleased with thier progress just wishes they would eat a bit more.

I have found that I love shopping for them but have to quit now haha. We started going to a few consignment sales to try and get some cheap things. The upcomming purchases will have to be high chairs and a walking stroller.

We feel blessed everyday to be thier parents.
