Early Days with Baby Colt

After the ER scare, Colt had to take only bottles for a few feedings. We figured out he is averaging a 4oz bottle every 3 hours and sometimes more. The average newborn drinks around 2 oz per feeding and a baby should drink 2.5 oz per lb. body weight. I did the math and Colt should drink around 15 oz per 24 hours. If he is drinking 4oz, then in a 24 hour period that is 32oz!! That little guy is going to grow super fast! I don't know where he puts it all because he is a tiny guy.

I noticed Noah spends all his free time in the evenings playing video games with his brother. What is even more bizarre is his brother plays in his bedroom downstairs on a big screen and Noah goes into a bedroom and plays it in front of a big screen with a headset. He stays up into the wee hours in the morning, then he is so tired he can't help Jayden much in the night because he is so tired she can't wake him. He sleeps in until noon.

Jayden's kitten has had free roam of the house. When I got there she had been staying in a small room and was scared and unsure of the house. After a couple days she was everywhere. She is so funny and sneaky. You won't know where she is and then out of nowhere she is right in front of you. She follows me everywhere. She hangs out a lot with me because we don't want her near baby. She really likes to lay with me on my bed and babysit.

Volleyball

Jake went with Karen after school and to the field. My mom, Luke and I went to Jayden’s Volleyball game in Coon Rapids. They played 4 games all losses. They were not having a good serving night and that really hurt them. Still enjoy watching them learn.

Treasures

In the morning we took 3 of our 4 cats to the vet for shots. The 4 th cat decided to wander this morning missing his appointment. On our way out, we passed a rummage sale and stopped. We got some major treasures for next to nothing. The church ladies were so fascinated with Jacob's interest in old radios and televisions. They just adored him and marked the prices way down and gave him some for free. We loaded up on kids books, got some board games, and a few other treasures. Jake ended up with a mini television , an old radio and Polaroid camera. After lunch the boys went straight to the field. My friend Carolyn and her daughter Tabby came to ride horses. What started out to be a chilly day 45, turned out nice and sunny. We had coats on, but it was a great day to ride. We rode through our hay patch and along the waterway near the highway. It was a great way to spend the afternoon.

Dayton Fun Show

It has been cold and windy for the past week, highs of 45. Today the sun was shinning and it got up to 60. There was one final horse show for the season at the Dayton arena. We took Jayden and Jacob while Luke went with Grammer and Po and was supposed to come later. It was a fun show geared for practice and the kids. Jake did really well on Winnie, he rode in walk and trot, barrels, and poles. He did some loping. Jayden did pleasure, milk can, barrels, poles, and a jumping event. Her horse Tex really jumps high for the jump event. Down in the arena, there was'nt any wind and the sun came out. It made for a nice day.
