Work it girl!  Did you know that heels and PJ's are the latest trend on the runway?  Okay, maybe this isn't hot in New York City, but at the Hellekson household, it's so IN! 

2 Months  

Posted by: Jenna



On August 19, Porter turned 2 months old!  I honestly can't even remember his stats from his doctor appointment.  I think he was around 11 pounds though.  Obviously, this post is a little late and I'm having trouble remembering everything that was going on around the 2 month mark (even though it was only a month ago! ha). I'll go ahead and post about 3 months since he is 13 weeks now.  Around 2 weeks ago when we put him on Prevacid he started sleeping 8-9 hour stretches at night which was a huge relief for mom and dad.  He likes to play on his activity mat now that he isn't super uncomfortable laying on his back.  He is a terrible napper right now.  He sleeps about 30 or 45 minutes but then wakes up and cries until I either hold him or it is time to eat-- it's very frustrating!  I'm hoping as he gets more mobile his naps will improve.  He goes to bed at 8:30pm, I wake him up at 11 to feed him one last time, and then he sleeps until 8am.  I'll take that over good naps any day!  He is in size 2 diapers and 3 month clothes.  He is overall a happy guy and loves to smile. I'm really enjoying the age he is getting to now...so sweet! I'll post his 3 month pictures soon....


Precious Babies

Whenever I get stressed out about life or feel like I can't do this whole "two kid" thing, I just look at these precious pictures and remind myself that God chose me to be their mommy and I need to step up to the plate and be the best mom I can be for them!  Aren't they just beautiful little creations?

Summer Fun  

Posted by: Jenna

 We've had such a fun summer this year-- it is so nice now to enjoy the outdoors that Greenlee is walking and running.  Last summer we couldn't do that!  Some of the things we've enjoyed doing this summer are:

Swinging

Playing with the water hose


Swimming

Snackin'


Tummy time

Snoozing

....and helping daddy wash cars!



We are starting her off early with the driving...she's already got the 10 and 2 hand position down!



Happy summer to you...enjoy the warm weather while it lasts, we sure are!

Happy 1 Month!

On July 19, Porter turned 1 month old-- he will be 6 weeks on Tuesday.  Time sure is flying.  As of last Friday he weighed 9 pounds 9 ounces!  He gained 3.5 pounds in 5 weeks.  Craziness.  Happy 1 Month, baby boy!

Greenlee's Haircut  

Posted by: Jenna







Last weekend I gave Greenlee a haircut.  I've cut her hair several times in the past year, but this time it was extra fun because she was so aware of what I was doing and she LOVED it.  She held the mirror and watched what I was doing-- she also watched some Mickey too :)  It was a fun little family moment and I'm thankful that I have the skills to keep my husband and kiddos well groomed!
