Yesterday Justin started crawling!! He never really scooted, or army crawled, just rolled around a little so we are so surprised at this milestone. I don't know if this is a good thing, but at least now he can get away from his sister a little faster!
She seriously could go on for hours. And no one explained to Josh that Dogs + Chickens= Dead chickens. 4 of them.
I am finally posting. I know I haven't said much about our latest addition so here he is.....
Justin. He is 4 months old. Crazy!! He is such a sweet boy. He is so easy going, never really cries, is happy to just hang out and sleeps and eats like a champ. He is always good for a smile and has this shyness about him that is so cute. He is a big boy and is breaking my back lugging around that carseat of his, but we love him!! I have to admit that when I found out I was pregnant with him I wanted a girl. I was SURE it was a girl too. I still wasn't convinced I would like a boy when he was born (maybe it was that we didn't have a name and still don't know if we picked the right one) but now he is as Eliza would say our "special favorite". At his 4 month checkup he was 19lbs. 10oz and 27 inches long (holy cow)!!!
He melts my heart!!
We are still not sure where our kids get these huge eyes.
My boob tubers!! They both like to watch TV. Eliza loves Justin. She is constantly hugging and kissing him and if she can't see him she askes, "Mom wheres Bubs?" She has called him Baby Bubba since before he was born (we think she just had a hard time saying Baby brother). At first I didn't really like Bubba but now its kinda cute. She switches between bubba, bubs, bubby, budda. He loves her just as much and can sit for hours just watching her. He will sit in his jumperoo and watch her dance and if she goes out of the room, he will whine until she returns.
Right before heading in.

I realize I stink at blogging. This, however I figured was a good reason to post.
We had our sweet baby boy on Friday Oct. 16th at 7:57 p.m. He was 9 lbs 11 oz and 22 3/4".
Here is the boring (very short version) story if you care.
We had a planed C-section for Tuesday the 20th but we went to the doctor on Friday and I was having contractions 2 minutes apart. I was not dialated at all and my cervix was still so high we were worried my water would break over the weekend and it would turn into an emergency situation so we rushed to the hospital and had him a few days early!! The surgery went well and we escaped with very minor complications. We were shocked he was so small but we love having a baby that can wear the smaller clothes and diapers at birth. We debated on a name for the 3 days we were in the hospital and Justin wasn't even on our list, but it fits him and we like it.
He is such a good baby, has hardly cried at all and like Eliza sleeps through the night!! I am so lucky but we will see if it lasts. Eliza is a good big sister, loves to hold, kiss, and "wrestle" her brother. She is helpful and is constanly telling Justin she loves him. We are so glad he is finally here and so thankful for him and his safe arrival!!
We have been harassed to put up some recent pictures of Eliza. So here they are.
We love Eliza to death. She is such a fun and active little girl. Active is probably an understatement. She is CRAZY!!! She is so social, loves everyone and is not afraid to tell you what she thinks. She is very intelligent and picks up on things very fast. She has quite the vocabulary... her new favorite word is "no", "more" and "mine" here are a few more of her favorite words.... doggie, puppy, mommy, daddy, hot, boot, eye, nose, apple, ut ohh, nana, papa. She also signs a few words like hungry, all done, bird, more.
She loves books and can sit in the car for hours "reading" them, as we found when we drove the 15 hours to Utah. Here a few "recent" pictures of Liza.
I love that her hair fits into a ponytail. Look at all that hair!!
Eliza loves her friends. This is her and Kendall from church. 
Our little Family at Thanksgiving.
My parents and all the grandkids. That was a wild day!
Liza and her two cousins. It was fun to see them play together.
Oh, uncle Adam. We wish we could see you more often!
Eliza loves animals. She is obsessed with our two dogs. Sometimes Ill come in the kitchen and she is reading them books. She lays all over them and likes to ride them like a horse. We got to see a real horse and she loved riding him and touching his skin.
She is sassy!!
