Happy Birthday


I recently celebrated my 24th Birthday. I woke up to Pat making me breakfast! This was a historic moment in our marriage. Patrick always says he grills meats, but he doesn't bake or make breakfast... I could eat breakfast for every meal, so for him to make me a huge breakfast was probably my favorite part about my Birthday. Thanks babe!

I was surprised with a caramel apple and an ice cream cake from friends (Thank you sooo much, they were delicious) When Pat came home we went to Texas Roadhouse and got some ribs :) Afterward, he let me pick a few things out at the mall. Our friend Amber was kind enough to offer to watch Ledger. It was our first date without him. A big step for us. Thanks Amber :) I wanted to thank everyone for sent Birthday wishes, it was a fun day! Pat definitely spoiled me!

No, the picture of Pres behind us wasn't planned, but it gives it a fun touch

Classic open mouthed Ledger face.

Also, this little guy is now 4 months old. It's crazy how fast time flies once you have a little one in the home again. He went to the doctor yesterday, and got his shots. Preslee hardly ever cried when she had her shots done, and once you picked her up she pretty much quit crying. Well, this kid on the other hand milks it for all it's worth. He's so funny. He was still fake crying/whining half way home. Every once in awhile letting out a scream to let me know he was still upset. I love this age, they start showing so much personality :)

His stats are almost identical to his older sister.

Weight- 13.4 lbs. 20%
Height- 25.5 in. 71%
Head-16.3 in. 24%

A few things I want to remember

He just jumped up to 6 month clothing.

Obviously hitting a growth spurt, all he wants to do is sleep (Last week most nights went from 8 PM to 8 AM)

I've noticed the past few days he's starting to close his mouth every once in awhile. Just like Preslee they always have their mouths open.

I'm still offering prune juice to the poor kid.

We're trying to soak up all the sun we can before it disappears with trips to the park and walks to Broulims with the stroller.

    Unplanned but awesome with the picture of Preslee in the background. She looks like your little guardian angel in the background, and I'm sure that is how it is everyday single day for her! Precious family...
    Happy birthday!

    I cannot remember how I found your blog or if I've ever commented... but our boys are very close in age. I'd have to go back to see how close they are, but it's pretty close.

    Anyway, we have out 4 month appointment next week and by then he'll be 1/2 way to 5 months, but I'm excited to see how he's progressing.

    Baby C is in 3-6 month clothes, but looks similar to your baby L, as far as size goes.

    Happy birthday too! So fun!!

    This quote..."afterward, he let me pick a few things out at the mall"...um, he "LET YOU"....??? Mormons are SO WEIRD! You can & should be able to buy what you want without permission. Another truth...you WILL meet your daughter again...and regardless of how you live today...you and Preslee WILL reunite. That is the FREE GIFT OF JESUS CHRIST! You CAN have a personal relationship with HIM, if you study the Bible, and the Bible ALONE! The bible IS the word of God... and not a book written by a 14 year old, confused teenager. Good Grief! Once you see the light, you'll be set free!!!

    I just want to say thank you for visiting my blog and leaving me your comment.
    It makes me so happy to know that I can be happy again.
    This new baby is such a miracle but as you know taking down stuff from your other child is so hard.
    Thanks for being there for me. It's so comforting to get messages from moms who "get it".

    I'm thinking that picture of your whole family was planned just that way by little Preslee. She was there celebrating too! :)

Hi, we're the Sullengers! Life turned upside down for us in 2010 when we lost our daughter in an accidental drowning. Since then, we've documented our highs (life with all five of our kids) and our lows (struggles with grief) but amongst everthing we've experienced, we know as long as we hold on to one another we can get through anything that comes our way.
