Routine

Life with 3 kids sure is more challenging than 2!   I was rarely on time before, now it's unheard of.   I still have to schedule my day around Carson's feeding times.  He eats every 3 hrs, and still needs a nap between each feed.  At night he's sleeping 6-7 hours.   This is great.  I feel good as long as I get at least 4 hrs of sleep in a row.  He seems to wake up at 4 or 5am consistently, so this week I'm playing around with his bedtimes a bit to see if he'll still sleep that long.  Tonight I'll try putting him down around 8:30pm.   He is almost 3 months old.   Kelsey and Leah were both sleeping 10hr nights at 7-8 weeks, so I might've been a bit spoiled with them.  

He weighed 14lbs 13oz last week at his immunizations.  That was with his clothes on so he's actually slightly lighter.  That put him at the 97th percentile!  23 & 3/4 inches long.  At least he's proportional. :)  He has rolled over a few times because he really hates being on his tummy and he thrusts himself over in anger!  I don't really count that as rolling, but today, he rolled over twice in a row and it seemed very deliberate.  I grabbed the camcorder, then he didn't do it again.  

Kelsey's really coming out of her shell lately.  She's doing well in preschool, and when we're shopping or walking she'll wave at strangers and then look at me grinning, hoping for my praise/approval.  She's also in swimming lessons and she has to go  in by herself.   She just loves it and is always RIGHT beside the teacher following every little instruction and proudly showing how she can do it.   So fun to watch.  
Leah is excited to go to preschool.   I think she has learned a lot of stuff from Kelsey.  She just knows a lot and says big words like "distinguished".  She and Kelsey play great together, but Leah's mood can change in a second if things don't go her way.  She loves to throw objects on the floor dramatically  and run to her room and shut the door.  She's also super affectionate.  I definitely get the most hugs/kisses from her, and she tells me she loves me several times/day.  So sweet.  

We're thankful Cam is still busy at ArcTech.   The work seems to really have slowed down in the oilpatch around here, and Cam gets worried when he sees people coming in his shop looking for work.   They've had to lay 1 guy off so far but Cam's high enough up the chain, that shouldn't happen to us (I hope).  

I am so done with winter.   I am getting tired of being stuck indoors playing "Sorry" and "Memory" and "Perfection".  Please bring the grass and heat so we can go outside!

I'll leave you with some pics of my chubby boy.
