Happy TWO months Matthew!


Sweet baby boy you are two months old today!!! I cannot believe it! You are growing so big and starting to get a bit of a personality now. You are sleeping so much better and take really good naps in your crib. You take a nap every day at 10am and sleep about 2- 3 hours. Then you take another nap in the afternoon in the ergo :)

You start off in your bed every night and sleep from 7pm until 11-12. You are very demanding about your bed time. You have to go to sleep by 7 every night! After you wake at 11 you eat every couple of hours until about 6am. Then a tiny nap at 8 and then your long one at 10. I am so proud of you!

You are starting to coo now and will talk and talk. You also smile every day at me. You love getting your diaper changed and you love baths (as long as they are under 5 minutes ha!). You wear size 6 month clothing (some 3-6 months fit still) and are no longer on the newborn snap on any of your diapers.

 You eat really well but you swallow a ton of air when you nurse. Your reflux is still really bad but as long as I don't miss a dose of medicine you are fine! You still hate the car but are starting to cry less when in your seat.

Also you hit a milestone this last weekend! You can now roll over! You have done it twice now. Mommies strong boy! Words can not express how much I love you. You are such a gift and I am thankful for you each and every day. I can not believe I am so blessed to be able to call you mine.

Oh and it is worth noting that you still have your newborn fuzzies. I think the hair on your ears and shoulders is so precious. You are also still really rashy but we are keeping it under control.
Two sweet wonderful months. Oh how I love you little one!

fall is here!!!

We have had a busy week but my favorite part was probably yesterday. The first day of fall started off with a little marathon for our big first grader! The "fun run" event was to raise money for his school and every student participated. There goal was 30 laps (in an hour) and Austin did 40! They were so precious and really resembled a giant stampede. EJ just watched but really wanted to join in and Matthew slept in the ergo. I was so excited that I actually brought my camera to take some pics. Well, I forgot my cf card. I tell you my brain has gone missing these days! I did snap a few with my iphone.
After picking Austin up from school we decided to go to the park since the weather has been so nice. The boys enjoyed it but I couldn't believe Austin still had energy! Matthew slept the whole time (again) in the ergo. That boy loves to be worn!
  


Charge!!

Afer the park we went home and had the typical crazy evening :)
Today, Austin and I both woke up with colds. Tis the season. Our playdate has been cancelled and we will just be hanging out around the house getting better.
Also, I wanted to add that Matthew is now 8 weeks old. Can not believe it! He goes three hours between feeds and is a happy baby but demands to be held while he is awake. Another needy one will fit right in ha! I will try to do a picture/update post for him this week.
Enjoy the first weekend of fall everyone!!
