My little man

Nicholas had his 2 wk check at almost 3 wks old, he is growing well. He now weighs 7 lbs 9 oz, 25% and is 21 in long, 75%. He is long and skinny just like he looks. He did not like the procedures done at this doctors visit too much be he is doing better now. I can't believe how fast time goes and wish I could freeze him at this size. So, so cute I call him my baby bird, the kid always is looking to eat, Kate calls him poopster, and Max calls him little buddy. He is spoiled rotten and hardly ever gets put down but that's OK I will spoil him. There is nothing better than holding a newborn baby.

I love this picture, Nick chillin with his big brother. Max loves to hold Nick and Nick really likes Max. Max is the best big brother.

2 wks already???

Time goes way too fast. I can't believe our little Nicholas is already 2 wks old. I sure love my 3 beautiful babies so much!!! The kids love their baby brother so much, we are so lucky he is here with our family now!

I love his little feet, I can't keep my lips off of them.

He still has little bird legs. No rolls on these legs.


Kate loves to keep a close eye on him, she does not go far from him. This makes me happy because I was worried about her and how she would adjust.

Seriously could you just smooch on this face all day??? Well that is what I do and just LOVE IT!

I am one lucky Mommy, to have these 3 kids!

4th of July fun

We were stuck at home with Nicholas under the bili lights so we had a little party here to celebrate the 4th of July. Grandma Sutch brought over dinner and some super fun giant marshmellows to roast. They were huge and if you did not have sticky all over you did not eat them right.

Max loving the fireworks. He loved throwing the flash bombs with Dad.

Kate proving she ate her marsmellow right!

Grandma Sutch burning her marshmellow to perfection.

How was that charcoal cleanse???

This is how Nicholas spent his first 4th of July...plugged in.

He looks like an avatar or alien with is "tail".

He also had his first bath at home that night. He did not like getting his body washed but melted like butter when you washed his hair.

He was so content when he was all done. I still can't put any lotion on him because of the lights. I love that clean baby smell. Soon... I hope... Soon.

Happy Independence day! Let Freedom Ring!!!!

Baby Nicholas LeMar Sutch

Our sweet baby boy Nicholas LeMar Sutch was born on Wednesday, June 30, 2010 @ 10:21 AM. He weighed 7 lbs 2 oz and 18 inches long.

Our family of 5!

The kids love being big brother and sister. They can't get enough of him.

He loves to snuggle. He will only sleep next to someone. There goes my rules about babies sleeping in my bed.

This is Nick and Dad in the nursery. He was being a little naughty and they took him down to the nursery to check him out soon after he was born. I hated feeling so helpless being upstairs and Jake and the baby down in the nursery not knowing what was going on. He perked right up and he did just fine. I was so glad when Jake brought him back to me about an hour and a half later.

He has goofy little feet. He always has is toes spread out. Jake says he has hawk feet.

Daddy loving is little guy.

They let me hold him for only about 2 minutes and they took him. I was so happy when I could hold him and get a good look at how beautiful he was and count his little fingers and toes.I am so thankful he is healthy and here with our family!!

We are getting closer...

I am so happy, the carpenter is done with the finish work so now all we have to do is caulk, fill nail holes, paint trim, touch up wall paint and the bedrooms will be done. Yahoo! Here are a few pictures. This is in the old part of the house and they have so much character. We tried to keep some of the unique features that were there before, but make them a little more accommodating.

We ♥ Strawberry Days

What a busy week we have had. We love this time of year and is was extra fun because both of my brothers and families were here this year. It has been quite awhile since that has been the case. Of course we have eaten too many strawberries, spent too much money at the carnival and had lots of fun.

Jake even showed his face at the parade for a minute!

Adam, Graham, and Max

Great-Grandma Montgomery came for lunch. I think she is 85. What a great picture for us to have with her,my dad and all the grandkids.

Kate loving the roller coaster. This kid is fearless. She wanted to go on the Zipper!

Max after his carnival fun rides. I think he is really dizzy and tired! He is getting so much more daring. He went on the Ball of Fire with Graham. It was not that long ago he would not even go on the kiddie roller coaster. You are awesome Max!

It is Saturday night, the sun has gone down, the tickets are gone, one more snowcone and cotton candy for us..... UNTIL NEXT YEAR!!!

The long walk home.....

The count down....

I can't believe June is here and that means this is the month! We have three weeks and little baby boy Sutch will be here. We still have not decided on a name but we still have plenty of time :) I can't wait to meet him, count his little toes and fingers, smooch on his cheeks and stare at him for hours! How much hair will he have, will he have hair? Who is he going to look like? How much will he weigh?? I am excited for his big brother and sister to meet him for the first time. The other night I told Kate that soon and our baby would be here. She said, "He is here in your belly." When I explained he would come out of my belly the look on her face was priceless. "You mean we will get to hold him? Even me?" she squeals! I won't lie, I am getting scared about having 3 kids but let the adventure begin! Now I just have to wait and complain about my elephant feet & ankles.

Kate 1 day old
