Weak Neck and Nursey

Drake is growing so quickly! I think he is a little behind on his physical abilities development though. We had some friends over last weekend and Nicole brought her 7 week old baby, Maggie. Maggie was able to lift her head while lying on her stomach. So, I put 3 month old Drake on his stomach and he remained face down on the floor screaming and kicking until I picked him back up before he suffocated. So we have not met the "can lift head 45 degrees when laying on stomach" milestone yet, but this is surely my fault since I rarely put him on his stomach. But, in my defense, would you want to put a baby face down on the floor if he screamed bloody murder every time you did it? We have figured out the hard way that the Zantac is really helping him. We have forgotten to give him his medicine a few times and the days after we have forgotten to give it to him could definitely rank on the worst day of our lives list. This picture of me and the boys was taken at the end of one of those terrible days after we forgot to give Drake his medicine. I had not showered or changed out of my pajamas all day because I was trying to console the Dragon.

Here is Drake with his Dad chilling out on the couch after a long day.
I never did post anything about Drake's nursery. Below are some pictures of Drake's room. This was also Jackson's room when he was a baby, but I think it is more fitting for Drake because he is Asian. No, but actually I have gotten teased a lot because I wanted a black and red oriental themed nursery for my babies, but it was really a practical choice because all of the furniture is reusable for a more "grown-up" themed bedroom. Anyway, there are quite a few dragons featured in the room so it is more fitting for Drake (name derived from Draco meaning dragon).

Cute pics Kris! Your boys are adorable. I couldn't get over the Asian nursery. It looks like your boys will have very sophisticated taste. I'd expect nothing less. You're such a cute mom!

the reason maggie's so good on her tummy is because I'm a terrible mom and let her sleep that way...So, are you guys enjoying conference? I just realized when I typed that that it's on right now and I'm sitting here reading people's blogs. Now you'll know what a church slacker I am :)
