Bode Bannack Wuertz

 

 

Bode Bannack Wuertz made his arrival!!  Following in Cash's footsteps, Bode just couldn't wait until his October 25th due date and made his debut on September 21st.  Andrea had a whopping 30 minute labor!  She delivered him in the triage room of the Labor and Delivery Ward.  I got the text from Mom saying that baby was on his way and by the time I rushed out the door and up to the hospital, he had already been born!!

 

A tiny peanut, weighing in at 4lbs and 14 oz and 18.5 inches long.  He was having trouble keeping his oxygen levels up and was also having trouble feeding.  So a 3 week stay in the NICU helped him get well enough to come home.  He is still on oxygen at home but at least he is at home!! 

 

 

Welcome to the family, Bode!!  We are thrilled to have another boy to love on!  I can't wait to watch you grow and see who you become!!

 

Love,

Aunt Betsy

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FOUR

 

 

Oh my sweet and sassy Clara June turned 4!  We had a Pajama Party on her actual birthday.  Everyone came jammied up and we had pink doughnuts with purple sprinkles (her request!) and made Fruit Loop necklaces.  The weather was perfect so we were able to have all the kids outside and they just played and ate! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

                                           Friendship bear from Ella!  I love their faces!
                     

                                         She has always disliked being sang to on her birthdays!  She twirled her     pigs the entire time we serenaded her!

This sweet faced girl is full of piss and vinegar most days.  She is has this adorable sense of humor budding and often tries to do silly things to make people laugh.  She has a bit of a sassy mouth and isn't afraid to voice her opinion most days.  She holds her own quite often with her big bro, which is a good thing around here!  She loves riding bikes and being outside.  Her sweet side shows though when she is quick with a hug and I love you Mama throughout our day.  Callie and playing house are among her top things to do lately.  She asked for baby things and clothes for her birthday.  Her bedroom may explode soon with all the "equiptment" that her babies have acquired! 

The well check confirmed what we all knew, she is a petite thing and tracking right along where she has been the last few years.  We have finally cracked 30 lbs on the scale!  She is in the 14% for height and weight.  She told Nana the other day that she is probably going to be a shorty like her! Ha!

Clara June, we love you so much and you provide us with daily entertainment!!  Although time is going so fast and I can't believe you are already 4, I can't wait to watch and see who you become!
