Raining...

There's quite a bit of that going on here as of the last two days. Dang man... I remember just a week ago that we had 80 degree weather and it was amazing. The grass and all the plants were starting to come back to life and everything was looking chipper. I even got out and had the lawn fertilized and watered the grass once. Now... we're looking at highs of 45 degrees with nothing but wind and rain with a possibility of snow tonite. It just doesn't make you want to leap for joy does it?

On another note, Sutton is still growing by the minute and continues to be a happy baby.

He's starting to get to the point where he is really focusing on things that are around him and he loves it when he has your attention and lets you know it by telling you all aobut it. We got to spend some time with my little sister Kylee this past weekend while she was attending the hairshow with Katie... and let me just say, I'm pretty sure she's a baby whisperer. I don't know a person that can pick up a almost screaming baby and within minutes they're happy and almost asleep. She just has the touch people and her little nephew Sutton absolutely adores her.


Sutton is also getting accustomed to going flower searching with mom as you can see from the first photo. Katie tells me he enjoys walking around the different green houses and looking at the plants. Apparently some of that farmer blood is in him. We're so excited that he's starting to get his own little personality and I think we're going to have quite a little bundle of energy  around our house once he starts moving around a bit more. We're just hoping we can keep up with him.

Times they are a changing...

Hello all... wow, we're here at April already. Dang, I am going to get better at updating more frequently on this thing. Hopefully everyone is doing well. The Schweitzer household has been bustling with activity since our last update.

The little man is having a good time getting older and being able to hold his head up by himself and looking around to see the world. Mom isn't so sure that it's a good thing because he more often then not wants to skip out on naps because there's too much going on for him to look at. However, the up side to having him be awake all day is that Sutton is sleeping around 6.5 to 8 hours a night. And I think mommy really appreciates that.

 Another place Sutton seems to like to frequent would be his little bathtub. He loves to take a bath man and will splash and giggle and talk to Wilson, his imaginary friend that we named for him, the entire time he's in there. But once the playing is done, he enjoys being bundled up in his towel to chill for a while.


A bit of news we would also like to share is that we have adopted a dog for Sutton from the Nebraska Humane Society. We would like to introduce you to our dog Brae. He's a 3 year old Vizsla  and has got to be one of the smartest and most gentle dogs I've come into contact with. And he really seems to have taken a shine to Sutton, so we're excited to have them grow up together and see what great friends they turn out to be.

Sorry I'm so bad at getting on here and at least updating the pictures on here. Sutton looks to be growing and changing every day and we're having a hard time keeping up with him. Our family looks forward to the next few months as we start to get busy with baby dedications, graduations and wedding showers. It'll be quite the next few months and we just hope we can keep up with it all.
