Love this Baby!

I cannot believe Jake is 3 months old! I am having a hard time watching him get big. I feel like the time is going too fast and I want to treasure every second. He is growing into such a fun and happy boy with the sweetest smile.

He has laughed just a few times and it was so cute! Most of the time when he smiles he looks like he is going to bust out laughing any second, but can't quite get it out! I am totally in love with this little boy!

This is the look he gives me when he sees me...so adorable!

At 3 months Jake has discovered his hands and loves to have them in his mouth. He has also started sleeping, most nights, for 7-8 hours at a time!! Hooray! He still loves his bath and I find myself looking forward to that time with him. One of the funnest things about Jake is that he prefers me over his Dad! This is a first for the Ogden family as all of Jake's siblings preferred, and still prefer, their Dad. So I am loving it that Aaron will be trying to calm Jake down and the minute I take him, he is fine...sorry Aaron! I love it!

Noah, Grace and Lucy still adore their little brother and have been very helpful. They love to hold him and talk to him and Noah loves to hold Jake and bounce him if my hands are busy.

I have 4 great kids and I feel so lucky to be their Mom.

Freckle Nose

While at the pool one afternoon, I noticed Lucy was starting to get freckles on her nose. SO Cute! So I tried to get a picture of her cute freckle nose. She had so much fun posing for me and I fully enjoyed taking her picture! I don't know how well you can see the freckles, but they are still cute pictures of my sweet Lucy Belle!

More of Texas

When we went to Seaworld the kids really wanted to get wet at the shows. So we always sat in the "splash zone." Jake was a good sport and we tried to keep him dry through all the splashing!

On our last day in Austin, we went for a hike into this beautiful lake. Jake loved being outside and was wide awake through the whole hike! I think he was enjoying the green scenery as much as I was.

A Texas Roadtrip...family style!

Jake had his first roadtrip and he was so good! Our 15 hour drive to and from Austin Texas went well and we loved introducing Jake to his Uncle Jeff, Aunt Brenna and cousins Jackson & James. We were so busy and did so many fun things. Jake spent a lot of time in his carseat, stroller and front pack.
This is at the swimming pool...I wish I could nap poolside!

Noah took this picture outside of the Children's Museum.

We went to a great park in downtown Austin and Jake had his first train ride on the Zilker zephyr. The train ride came at a bad time as Jake was hungry! So feeding him on a little train squished next to Lucy and Noah proved to be quite interesting. But we survived.

2 brothers on a train...one day this could be Trouble!

I Love Lucy!

 

Little Buddies

Little Fish

Noah and Grace love to swim. They were so excited to see that Jeff and Brenna had a pool in their neighborhood. One afternoon I took Noah and Grace down to the pool while Brenna stayed with the little ones at home. They had so much fun despite the cold water! I loved taking pictures of them and watching them without the distractions of my other little swimmers.
