It's been a wonderfully busy February and March. No complaints, just waiting for it to calm down a bit.

We took our first adventure as a family of 5 to Omaha to see our cousins for Daddy's Goddaughter's baptism. Cousin Sofie was baptized and it was a crazy weekend for us 3 year olds.

Mommy and Daddy tried to keep us busy by taking us to the Omaha Zoo. We had a great time, followed by a trip to the Urgent Care with Ethan for a horrendous allergic reaction to something. We're still not sure what exactly happened, but at least we have an EpiPen in case it ever happens again!
Here we are in our wagon being pulled by Daddy around the zoo.

Our cousins, plus their cousin, playing on a train at the Zoo.


Kamran, aka 'Rito' turned 4 months old.

Mommy and Daddy can't believe its been that long. We have enjoyed every minute of his life. We had our 4 month check up and please believe he is in the 95%tile for his weight but only the 50%tile for his height. And this time, its only milk from Mommy and NOT supplemented with the high caloried Preemie formula that his brothers received.


No shame in those chubby dimpled cheeks... he carries his weight well!!
We enjoyed a warm Saturday afternoon celebrating a friends birthday at the park. It was HUGE park and Mommy enjoyed chasing us around.

3 MONTHS OLD!

These past few months have flown by. Mom and Dad got to talking today and it seems like Kamran shouldn't be 3 months old yet, however, it feels like forever ago that he was born.




He is smiling more than ever and laughing a little. Not that full belly laugh, but more of a sly laugh. Mom says Kamran is the calmest, most laid back baby in the world. She wonders how a child such as this could be related to her...must have gotten his daddy's genes.




We've been fighting RSV and this picture was taken in the midst of the fight. The older boys are slowly coming out of the illness, and Kamran is just in the middle...and he still finds time to laugh and smile for Mommy.


We are gaining weight without difficulties. He LOVES his milk. You can see all those rolls...cute and chubby! He is sleeping well. Usually from 7:30-8AM with 1-2 feedings per night. It is no where near the difficulty of my older brothers' nightly feedings so it ends up being snuggle time for both Mommy and Kamran.

We went to our friend, Bella's, birthday party. We had so much fun in the pool. We can't WAIT for summer to be here so that we can go swimming everyday!



Kian and Ethan had their first sleep-over last night. Well...it was more like a 'play-over'. Mom and Dad went out with our friend, Davis' Mom and Dad and they left all 4 boys with a baby sitter. Please believe that only 2 of the four boys were asleep when Mom and Dad arrived home at 11:30.

Kian and Ethan are also becoming GREAT big brothers. Kian especially has really taken on his role of big brother and watching out for him and is a very good helper. Ethan still loves his brother...sometime loves hugging him too much!






We've had some major changes at the house. Grammie went home after spending a month helping Mom and Dad around the house and being a fabulous care taker for Kamran. Kian and Ethan stopped going to daycare and we have hired a Nanny. More info about 'Mrs. Courtney' will follow. So far, we've just been getting to know one another and its working out well.

Madjids come to meet their newest grandson!

Another great few weeks have gone by. We're busy as always especially now that Mom has returned to work. We're figuring out how to be a family of 5 with a newborn. We've forgotten how much time it takes to care for a newborn...







Ethan still really enjoys his baby brother. He wants to snuggle, hug, hold and kiss his baby 'bo bo' all the time. Here's Daddy, Ethan and Kamran all sitting on the couch together.







The Madjids are here to meet their youngest grandson. We are so happy and enjoy every minute of it.

KAMRAN is 2 MONTHS OLD!!





Crazy how time flies! He went from being in the 20%tile in height and weight to the 92%tile. He's not missing many meals and loves his milk!!




We went to one of our friends' birthday party and we were able to ride horses. Ethan had so much fun!! It was a great event! Kian was not so interested in horses. Instead, he was outside running around.





Thank the Lord for Grammie. Grammie has been staying with us during our transition of Mommy going back to work and while we figure out where Kamran will go during the days. She is Kamran's favorite buddy and Mommy and Daddy's biggest help. We are so thankful for her!

Busy last week!!!

Grandma & Poppa went with us to the Christmas train. We had so much fun yelling "choo choo" all night!! Here's a quick pic after boarding the train. We even got to ride the elf train after we were done. Soo much fun!!











A quick shot of cutie Kamran. He is changing so much everyday. He's even grown out of newborn clothes...already????






Our birthday celebration at home on our real birthday. Mom & Dad fed us our favorite food...spaghetti...and then we each got an ice cream sandwich with a candle to blow out.



Happy 3rd birthday Kian and Ethan!!

Kamran is one month old and Kian & Ethan are 3years!

We've had a busy month since Kamran was born. It's been fun month and full of new, exciting adventures. He's been such a blessing. He's eating, sleeping and cooing. He's gaining weight like he's supposed to and Grandma even got him sleeping in his own bed. HUGE accomplishment and a WONDERFUL night sleep is had by all. Thank you, Grandma!




One of our awake, alert moments. Kamran has been such an easy, calm, relaxed baby. We can't believe people can complain about having a single baby at home!


Hangin' out with my brother during awake time.


Chillin' with my cousin!




It's time for our birthday party! We celebrated with the Fun Bus coming to our house and inviting friends over. We had a GREAT time!! Here's Kian's swinging from the ceiling.




Ethan swinging too!




Mommy is lighting our candles on our birthday cake!





Grandma and Grandpa came in to town for a couple weeks. They are here to celebrate Kamran's birth, Kian and Ethan's 3rd Birthday and an early Christmas celebration. Here's a quick picture of the grandkids, minus Kamran (he was finally sleeping).




Grandma playing with the kids on K & E's new grill! They made a great dinner!
