Davis is growing

ok so I know I keep posting these pictures but I think this is the best way to show Davis's growth. it is 2 days 3 weeks, and 5 weeks. oh and yesterday he was weighed and he is 9lbs 80z, he's gained over 3 pounds. totally following in Bailee and Tyson's footsteps. I think they both doubled their weight at 6 or 7 weeks. it's so funny.


These bottom two are just Davis in his cute Christmas sweater. Thanks to aunt Ashley. I think he looks so hansom in it. it's so funny he always opens his eyes so wide it look likes he's always scared.

Cute Kids!

ok. so I just have some funny Bailee stories I want to share. she has been so cute lately and so sweet. I told her that Santa is always watching and every time she isn't obedient or fights with Tyson, than Santa takes one of their presents out of his bag. so anyways she has been so worried about it in a cute way, Tyson and her always fight over which chair to sit in and what color of cup or plate they get when they eat, or who has to go first to brush teeth, (this list could go on and on) so anyways Bailee has been working extra hard to give Tyson his way in everything so she'll go first to brush her teeth or give him the blue cup, and then ask me if Santa put one of her presents back into his bag. it's been so funny, and she wants to make sure she is maximizing her presents. then she is going through all of her toys and wants to wrap them up so she can give them to her friends. it's so fun to see her get so excited about Christmas.

Bailee's other funny thing...... she totally has some form of O.C.D. that she totally takes after Ryan. I went to put her to bed the other night and I grabbed her pillow with the Ariel pillowcase, and she told me "oh no mom that's my T.V and movie watching pillow, you need to find my pink bed time pillow." So I put her Ariel pillow on the other side of her bed and she said "oh Mom, you faced it the wrong way, I like the side where I can see her stomach." (The pillowcase has a picture on each side and well I guess she likes that one side to face up) Well I couldn't find it so she had to suffer with her movie pillow for bed.
She also loves to help clean the bathroom and her room and when she does I am totally amazed how good of job she does. in the bathroom she arranges the soap bottles and hair gel stuff so they all face front, and when she cleans her room she is so picky about getting her blankets folded perfectly but her room looks really good when she's done. it's pretty funny.

One more little story. a couple of days ago we were driving in the car and we saw some thuggy looking boys walking out side, with their pants sagging down and their boxers were showing. Bailee thought it was pretty funny, so here is what I hear her telling Tyson in the back of the car "Tyson guess what, this is real...I just saw some boys , and I COULD SEE THERE UNDERPANTS!!!!!" Then hysterical laughter from the both of them. Then she goes on "and Tyson, mom's bottom is so huge and fat, have you seen it?"(Me) Bailee that's not nice to say (Bailee) well I don't mean fat, but it's just really really big. (nice and brutally honest)
She just makes me laugh so much. I love her personality, really she is just very funny.
Bailee and Tyson have such a cute little relationship, even if they do fight, they actually play so well together for the most part and are so cute to watch.

Here are some pictures of the kids right before we went to church this morning.


last monday for FHE we did the first Christmas and the kids acted out going from room to room knocking on the doors while I would tell them that there was no room at the inn. Tyson was so cute, he had such a big cheesy smile and would say, "Mary is sick can we stay here." it was really sweet. I really hope this year I can get across the true meaning of Christmas to them, I think they are kind-of grasping the idea of it. I love that they are getting older and can understand more, it really does make everything so much more fun and meaningful with kids. as you can see I don't think Davis likes acting this out as much as the other two.

I just wanted to take this picture to show you that this is where I always find Tyson, he loves this chair. he keeps moving it in front of the TV to sit in while he watches his favorite shows. I have to keep moving him out. I hope it doesn't break.

These last few pictures are from Bailee and Tyson, Bailee took the camera while I was taking a nap yesterday, and she had a hay day with it. She has quite the creative eye. I am excited though, I got her a kids camera for Christmas (another door buster, $15.00)

Here's me trying to get some beauty rest, because according to Bailee, I need it.

Bailee and Ty having too much fun, and a Bailee self-portrait, her favorite picture to take.

Here is some of Bailee's dolls, there are many more pictures where these came from. She even changed clothes on the princess magnet dolls, it's like her very own photo shoot.

Davis growing and Christmas party

ok, so I just wanted to post these pictures to show you how much Davis has grown. The first one he is one day old and the second he is 3 weeks. He is just getting so big.


Bailee has still been so cute with her little buddy. she is getting better at holding him. and loves to help out when he is crying or sad.

we had our ward Christmas party last night. The kids had a blast. Bailee got to perform her little dance, and she did a really good job. I am so mad at my self, I was trying to watch the recording of her dance, and somehow deleted it from our camera (story of my life) so anyways I'm trying to get it from someone else, hopefully I will. if I do I will post it.

one more little story I wanted to tell you. Tyson has been so funny lately. He's been a little brute. He loves to wrestle and play fight with everyone. I don't know where it came from. He always gets a little out of control though. So the other day he ran up and hit Bailee (I think he was just trying to play with her) but she got hurt, so anyways I sent him to his room, a couple of minutes later he came out and told me that he would like to "polish jige" to Bailee (apologize) I thought it was cute.

that's about it for our exciting lives this week.

Snow, Santa and Krispy Kreme!

So last night for family night we took the kids to see Santa. they were both so cute. Bailee asked for a baby alive and a sleeping Beauty dress (which I got on clearance for $4.00 after halloween, go me) and Tyson asked for some scooby snacks (he's been watching scooby doo cartoons lately). Earlier that day Bailee was making out her list of all the things she wanted, it's so fun to watch her try and spell new words, and I love how at Tyson's age I can put all of the thoughts into his head of what he wants. I got a good deal on a bike (go black Friday doorbusters) so I've been letting him know that he wants a bike, and he agrees. Afterwards we went to Krispy Kreme's for doughnuts and Tyson ate three of them, two with sprinkles and one plain. It was pretty incredible to see him eat all of them. We figured it was about 700 calories...not good. He is turning into his Dad being a picky eater and only eating sweets. Bailee picked bits of the frosting off of hers and was done, too bad that's not taking after her mom.

Today was the first snow of the year so the kids had a blast outside in the back yard. Poor Tyson wasn't feeling very well, he only lasted about 5 minutes. then later tonight when I made dinner he wasn't eating so I told him if he wasn't going to eat, then he'd have to go to his room. I went to get him like 10 minutes later and he totally put himself to bed and had fallen asleep. poor guy. That was at 5:00 so I'm hoping he won't be wide awake at 4:00 in the morning.
Oh and here's one more picture of our sweet Davis. he had another doctors apt. today he weighs 7lbs. 13 oz. his birth weight was 6lbs 3 oz. so he's gained like 2 oz a day. He's such a good little eater, so he'll big a big chubby bullock baby in no time. He already looks and feels bigger

Thanksgiving Week

So I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving. We had a really fun time. Since we didn't have any family around, we got together with a few other couples who were stranded and had Thanksgiving with them. We reserved the church , so we ate there and then there was plenty of room for the kids to run around and play, and we also got to play some fun games.
I hope you all got some good door busters on Friday morning. I woke up at 3:30, fed the baby, and was off to get my deals. It's so funny, I never buy anything big but I always have to go out early just for my tradition purposes. I do think I got some good buys though.
Other than that I don't think I have anything too exciting to tell. I added some pics of Davis, I swear he is growing so fast. He is an eating machine. It really reminds me of Bailee when she was a baby. Whenever he is awake he thinks he needs to be eating. it's so hard to not to feed him because I know that will make him happy. Sometimes it's like every hour. So I'm working on having him hold off to every 3 hours. I'm anxious to see his weight gain. I have an appointment on Tuesday, so we'll see what he weighs then. His birth weight was 6 lbs 3oz. His one week check up was 6lbs 5 oz,(that was a Monday) the following Friday he was 6lbs 7oz, and then the next Tuesday he was 6lbs 14oz. He has basically gained an ounce a day. (hopefully he's sucking the baby weight off me.)Here is Davis in the bathtub. He loves baths. he totally relaxes in them. Look at his cute curly hair. that also reminds me of Bailee, Tyson's hair was pretty straight. It will be fun to see if he keeps his little curls as he gets bigger. if he does I promise I won't let it grow out so people mistake him for a girl. I know I'm his mom, but don't you think he has the cutest face.

I seriously can't believe I haven't gotten a picture of this yet. (probably because I'm too busy trying to protect Davis from the "helpful" little mommy.) When Bailee is around this is where Davis spends most of his time. She thinks she's so sneaky, she knows she's not allowed to stand with him but she always finds some reason to have to get up when she's got him. and it's so funny when she holds him, she can't just sit and hold him still, she rotates his position like 15 times, she lays next to him, then she picks him up and burps him, then she cradles him, followed be bouncing him. It's so hard to stay patient, and yet I know she is just loving him, so it drives me crazy but is so sweet at the same time. But she is a really good helper and does a good job of making him happy and is as careful as a 5 year old can be.

Here is a Video of Bailee dancing. she is so cute in dance, she takes it so seriously when she practices. This Friday at our ward Christmas party she will be doing her first performance, I'll be anxious to see how she does in front of a crowd I'm not sure if she'll remember what she is doing or be to nervous and just stare into the crowd. I guess we'll see.

Pics of Davis

sSo today was Davis's 2 week birthday, and we went to get his pictures. He has been such a sweet cute baby. I know I've been bad about posting pictures, it's so funny, I think I have got the being a mom part down, but anything extra is too stressful to add back into my life yet. I'm so paranoid that I'm going to forget some important appointment or responsibility. But so far it's been ok.
I think Davis has the least hair out of all my kids, and It's also the lightest, maybe he'll be a little toe head. I think he still has totally got Ryan's eyes.
so I like this picture a lot better when they cropped it and took out half of my tharm (thigh/arm) and I know I'm sounding vain, but I really did do my hair. and is it just me or does Davis look like he's afraid of me?
Here is Davis and sweet grandma Bullock. she was so sweet to come and help us out last week.
It's so funny, I totally forgot how to clean up after myself. I had two weeks of moms following behind us cleaning up our messes, and as soon as they left the house got all cluttered. it was nice to have the house always feeling so clean and not have to worry about it.


So Grandma Bullock left on Sunday and we were sad to see her go. I was a little scared to get back to real life. things have been going good lately. I have to say I am so grateful for the girls in my ward and who live out here. Heather, I read your blog, how it's hard for you to ask for help and you appreciated all of the support, and I totally agree with you. I totally hate to ask for help, and sometimes it's even awkward to accept it But I just appreciate so much when people call and just offer to help with the kids and other things and it totally makes me realize how important it is to show support to others. it's been great, so thanks everyone for your help. And thanks Kris and Mom for ALL of your help, we love you both so much.

tagged

ok, so I am finally answering my tag. I have been tagged like 5 times and I am so bad at answering them, I am afraid that I can't think of 6 interesting things to write, so some of you might notice I stole your interesting things and am using them as mine, sorry.

1. ok. so I am totally like Betsy, if I update my Blog, I check at least 5 times a day to see if people have left comments. I get so excited when people leave me a comment, I don't know why I just love to read comments, Wendy you put it good when you said it just gives you a warm fuzzy feeling to get a comment.

2. this is something kind-0f interesting. I stopped drinking all caffeinated and carbonated drinks when I was in 8th grade, and I didn't start again until I was pregnant with Bailee. I was getting so many migraines and Tylenol didn't do anything, so the doctor told me to drink diet coke. and now I love it. and the sad thing is I mostly drink it when I am pregnant. go figure.

3. I read that Becca hates to throw up, but I hate to feel sick, so if I feel the least bit sick I will totally make myself throw up to get rid of that feeling.

4. I will tell anything embarrassing about myself if I think it will get a laugh. sometimes when I get home at night I think to myself, "I probably shouldn't have shared that story with everyone" but I totally can't help it, if I think I can get a laugh I will sacrifice all dignity to get it.

5. I totally think I have A.D.D, or some form of A.D.D. I have the hardest time listening to long directions or instructions. I will get the first few sentences and then all I hear is bla bla bla. this has become a big pet peeve for Ryan. sometimes I remember him saying "Katie I really need you to __________________. then I can't remember what it is he needs after that. or if I need directions in getting somewhere, I hear go to the corner and then bla bla bla. so I just have to get to the first spot and then ask someone for new directions. it's a big problem and as I'm writing this out it makes me realize even more how pathetic it is.

6. Like Trista, I am a horrible driver. especially if someone els is in the car. (I think it all goes back to the A.D.D) I get to focused on talking and forget I'm driving. It's so funny when ever I go somewhere with friends they always offer to drive. one time I was with Betsy, and we were like on a 45mph road and I was talking to her and she looked down at the speedometer and I was going like 20mph, that's when I finally learned about cruise control and it has helped a little, but I still hate to drive. so Trista I think I win in the bad driver department.

ok so I am Tagging my sisters Lindsey and Ashley (you better answer) and my sister-in-laws. and anyone who is on my list who hasn't told us 6 interesting things. (Jen, I don't think I've heard from you.)

Ok so today I had my first hormonal breakdown. It has been such a fun week. I loved having my mom here. she totally spoiled me and took care of everything. and cleaned my whole house. and I love that when moms are here I get to be the kid again and they are the moms. I totally got to sleep in and take a ton of naps. so anyways today she had to go home, and it just hit me that I'm a mom of 3 kids now. Luckily Ryan's mom will be here tomorrow afternoon and so I still get a few more days of pretend mom life instead of real life.
Davis really has been the sweetest baby. he is just so snuggly and cute. He loves to nurse, he kind-of reminds me of Bailee, he would just eat all day if I let him. He actually has a lot of awake time also. it's so cute to watch him look around.
Bailee has still been the best big sister ever. she is so funny, she is so paranoid about washing her hands anytime she touches anything. she said mom I touched my fingers, should I go and wash my hands, or mom I touched Davis's blanket, should I go and wash my hands. it's pretty funny. it's so cute to watch her when she doesn't think anyone is looking, she'll just sit and kiss him and talk baby talk to him.
Tyson is cute with him also and loves to hold him, but I'd say he's nothing compared to how obsessed Bailee is.


This picture is of Davis and a little boy that is only one week older than him. He was 9lbs 8oz, it's so funny to see the difference in their size. I think he looks like a 3 month old. it will be interesting to see how close they get in size, my kids seem to get chubby really fast.

one of the few times my mom got to hold our little buddy.

and of course I couldn't go long with out putting him in his Halloween costume. lets all take a moment and enjoy what might have been.one more dress up for old times sake.
taking a little rest.

I'll try to be better at posting more pictures, your right Betsy they change so fast and I don't want' to miss this sweet stage. I'm also trying to get Ryan to put some video's of the kids on, I don't know how to do that yet.

Happy as can be with our Davis.

Well I ended up coming home from the Hospital today instead of tomorrow. My mom was able to get here this morning so I figured she would be able to spoil me as good as any nurse, and then I could sleep in a comfortable bed.
I have to say we are so happy with our little Davis. I've just forgotten how sweet little new born babies are. He just makes the sweetest noises, and I love to watch him just look around. So far he's just been a little angel. I love to just sit and hold this him he's so snugly and content.
The kids are so good with him also. Bailee is so darling. she has honestly held him all afternoon. she puts up a fight anytime grandma tries to take a turn. she is such a little mother, she's all over changing his diaper, feeding him, burping him, or any other baby job.
Tyson is so funny, he's definitely very interested in Davis, but I think he is also wanting some attention. He's definitely used to being the baby. it's so funny he'll start crying and throwing a tantrum for the most random things. today he started bawling because we told him Davis will probably be sleeping most of the time, and Tyson wanted him to be awake. but still he has been very sweet and affectionate with Davis.
I also wanted to tell you all how we chose his name. We had been trying to decide between Noah and Tate for a long time. we liked both of those names a lot, but none of them seemed right for our little guy. Then a few months ago when my Grandpa Swensen passed away, I was reading his obituary and noticed his middle name was Davis (Richard Davis Swensen) I immediately fell in love with the name, and thought their couldn't be a better person to be named after. Ryan took a little more convincing, but soon fell in love with the name as well. So we chose Davis Ryan Bullock. named after two great men. So Davis, you've got a great example to follow and we couldn't be happier with you.

Checking out his surroundings

Sleeping the day away.

The kids' first visit to their special little Brother.

Getting ready to come home.

This picture is so funny, it's the first time we had to change Davis's diaper, We were all so interested in it, and my mom thought it was so cute so she just grabbed the picture and took a shot. Who would have thought changing a diaper could be so entertaining.
