Here are some videos of our precious boy!
This first one is of him in his Bumpo chair watching the Thunder game! He is getting so strong being able to sit there so long! (Sorry about my commentary!)
This next one is of him in his swing that is in my parent's backyard. My dad made him a set so that we could hook a swing on it and he LOVES it!
Creeden really showed off this weekend with how many times he was rolling over! In this video he even showed us how he can hold onto his foot and roll!
This last one is my favorite! This is his sweet sweet laugh that has taken us so long to catch on camera. He stops as soon as we get it out! (My ratty clothes and hair are because we had just woke up!)
We are so blessed to have him in our lives! He is the definition of amazing!

4 Months!
Creeden turned 4 Months on May 24th but we just got to the doctor yesterday. He weighs 14lbs (25 percentile) and is 25 1/2 inches long (70 percentile). She thinks he was going through a growth spurt the first few months and now is evening out. She predicts he will be tall and skinny.
She moved him back to his old formula to try it out and see if it will work now. We go back in 3 weeks to do a weight check and make sure he is gaining weight on it. We started it last night so he has been on it 24 hours and hardly spit up at all. So we are very excited and think it may work this time without being on the expensive stinky stuff!
We also get to start giving him food. She said to start with rice and do it for 4 days and then try a green food for 4 days then and orange food for 4 days and then fruit for 4 days. So the next little while we will be trying lots of new stuff. We also get to give him water and a tad bit of juice as long as we dilute it well. We are so excited to start this new stage but cannot believe he is this big!
He has been sleeping very well. He sleeps about 6-7 hours a night most of the time. He stirs a lot so I wake up with him, but doesn't eat in the middle of the night anymore.
Ok now to the best part - Pictures!
We finally caught him on video laughing and we have video of him in the pool so I will be posting those soon. Cannot believe my little guy is already 4 months!

Mother's Day & 3 Month Pictures
I got to experience my very first Mothers day this week. It was such a special day. I never knew if I would have this day as a Mother, but I am so grateful that I got that gift. Creeden, with the help of daddy, did a great job of making me feel special! I am so blessed to have my boys! A year ago tomorrow (May 16th) is when we found out that I was pregnant. It was a day we will never forget that was full of excitement, fear and lots of tears! I am so blessed to have my sweet boy here safe and sound sleeping next to me as I type.
A lot of you guys are on Facebook so you have seen his 3 month pictures, but for those of you who aren't I wanted to post them! You can click HERE to see a slideshow of his pictures. Three months was a very hard age to get good ones because he cannot sit up and would not smile for us! They are so precious though! I cannot believe on the 24th he will be 4 months! We go for his well baby check up on the 30th so I will post his stats after that!

A few videos of Creeden
Here are a few videos showing our little man's personality. The first one is just seeing his sweet smile and his funny eyes when I make weird noises at him.
The next one is his new talent. He loves to sit and 'talk' to us. He loves hearing his voice and so do we!
He is changing so much every day! I will post his 3 month pictures soon!

3 Months!
Today our baby is 3 months old! I cannot believe how fast time is flying by!
Creeden has had a hard few weeks. We took him to the doctor a few weeks ago and he had stopped gaining weight from so much spit up and had a double ear infection! They had to flush his ears out (which was horrible!!!) and we started antibiotic for his ears. We then had to start an acid reflux medicine and change to a new formula (a step higher than soy) to help with his spit up to try to help his little tummy. We went back yesterday and he had started gaining again (at 13lb 8oz) and his ear infection was looking good! He still spits up A LOT but it isn't curled milk anymore and he is gaining weight so that is good! We are going to stay on this new formula until his 4 month appt and then possibly try to wing him off of it and back onto his other kind.
He has almost overnight become a happy baby! He now sleeps 6-7 hours a night and has not had anymore long crying spells! We think we are over the colic stage! He just smiles and seems so happy now! This new formula must be the ticket and now his little belly feels so much better!
Here are some pictures of our little man with the monthly bear!
This smile melts my heart!!!
His long legs crack me up! He is so big!

Creeden's First Easter

Creeden - 2 Months!
Well I am a little late once again for a 2 month update on Creeden!
We went to the doctor last week and he weighed in at 12lbs 15oz (75 percentile) and 24.5 inches long (91 percentile). He is a big boy!!! She said he looks very healthy and is developing great!
He got 3 shots at this appointment since he missed his 1 month shots due to sickness. He took them like a trooper though! He didn’t cry with the first one but did with the next 2. As soon as she was done and I picked him up he stopped crying and acted fine! He was very snuggly the rest of the day so it must have worn him out!
We still think he is the most beautiful/handsome little boy in the world. His smiles can melt your heart fast! We cannot wait to hear a little giggle! He has gotten a lot better colic-wise (or we have gotten better at dealing with it!) and our pediatrician thinks by 3 months it will be much better and 4 months will be past it!
He is starting to sleep a little better but not consistent yet. We are working on that! He ran his first fever the other day after his shots. We gave him his first dose of Tylenol and it knocked it out fast. He still has a hard time pooping but our doctor had us give him some prune juice last time and it worked fast! His mood gets so much better when it is not over 48 hours between each BM! He LOVES the water and is great during bath time.
All in all his a healthy and happy baby boy! I cannot believe it is almost time to get his 3 month pictures done! Seems like we were just getting the newborn ones taken!
Here are some pictures of him!
