Pre-K



I started doing a few "home school" pre-k lessons this fall with Bri.  She is loving our intentional time learning together and is soaking it up like a sponge! We got a late start because of Shep's arrival but we have just finished our 5th letter, "U", from the Letter of the Week program.

Letter "A" with the geoboard

Shepherd Andrew Mills

I can't believe that "Baby Shep" is already almost 7 weeks old and I am just getting around to posting about him! Yikes! 
I guess that's evidence that it has been a little crazy around here. A wonderful kind of crazy! 

Our Shepherd Andrew was born on September 25, at 8:05 am.  He weighed 10lbs 4oz and was 22.5 in long.  We are so thankful for a safe delivery and a big healthy boy! 
God's gifts are SO GOOD! 


Shep's 1 month stats:
He weighed 11.8 lbs
measured 24 in long
size 1 diapers
size 3 month clothes
 On his 1 month birthday, he started making eye contact, doing a small amount of cooing, and gave us his first big grin (that wasn't prompted by gas)! 
He eats every 3 hours and usually wakes up 1 time a night to feed. 
However, he has given momma a few 8 hours stretches!
He loves to be rocked to sleep

 and to play in his play gym.

But, his favorite time of the day is definitely bath time!
 
Being in his carseat, however, is a completely different story... ;)

We are enjoying getting to know our little guy's sweet noises, cries, and personality. He is such a joy!

Thank you, God for this precious blessing you have given our family. We are so grateful!
