And he rolls...

Our little valentines...
Trace with Grandma Sue and Grandpa Wayne

Okay, so I have always been skeptical when people have told me that their newborn rolled over. I have always thought it was a fluke and "not for real". Well I stand corrected. Yesterday, Grandma Sue and Grandpa Wayne had Trace on his belly doing some "tummy time" when to their surprise he rolled over. I was in the shower at the time and when they told me he rolled over I admit I didn't believe them. So, I put Trace in the middle of the blanket on his tummy and to my surprise HE ROLLED OVER AGAIN! I couldn't believe my eyes! Of course once I ran for the video camera to document this momentous feat he got camera shy or a little tired, after all he had already done it TWO times at the ripe age of 3 weeks old!

Trevor surprised me by flying Grandma Sue and Grandpa Wayne here from Arizona. It has been great having them here to visit and help out. They have enjoyed meeting Trace Curtis who was named after my dad, Wayne Curtis Gaskill. I am so thankful that they have been here helping me this week, as it has a been a hectic week. Kianna has been sick since Sunday with a fever and not the easiest to deal with. We took her to the doctor yesterday and she has an ear infection. The antibiotics seem to be helping her be more herself again, so that is good. Unfortunately, she has also been having more potty accidents this past week, which has been a little discouraging. In addition, I think Kaylee is starting to get sick now, as she has had a low fever this afternoon. I don't know what I would do without my dad and Sue here with me. Trevor has also been a tremendous help to me in the evenings. The late night feedings have been catching up with me and so this week Trevor has been giving Trace his last feeding of the day so I can go to bed a little earlier. That has been such a blessing! Thank you honey for all you do for me!!! 

My dad and Sue are here until the 18th and then the real test begins when I have to prove to myself that I can handle 3 kids ages 4 and under "all by myself". It is challenging trying to give each of the kids the attention they need and deserve, especially the girls. Pray for me as I strive to be the best Mommy I can be.
