Mini Photo Shoot

Do you know how hard it is to get two 5-6 month olds and two 2 year olds to lay next to each other and smile all at the same time? Very hard! This was our first attempt and out of the 20 something pictures this was the best one.

By the time we finished (or more like gave up) we were sweating, the babies were grabbing each other, and the big boys were bolting to play with something else. Attempt #2 will happen when we can bribe them with something really good...yes we bribe our children :)

That might be a sub-par picture, but we did get a good one of the little cuties. They are easier because they don't move (although Graham will be moving very quickly very soon) and since they are still some what new they are easily entertained by their goofy mommies.

 The things that bring us joy have changed drastically in the last 3 years. Who knew we would melt just seeing these sweet baby smiles.

Here next week we are going to try for some bluebonnet pictures and honestly, it will be hit or miss. They will be full on smiles and cooperate wonderfully or full of frowny faces and running around like mad men. We will all have to wait and see.

Love Little Boys

If I had to describe this little man in one word it would be "Cheeks" :) those kissable, lovable, snuggable cheeks.

This big man would be "turd!" Just Kidding...recently he has turned into my little lover asking mommy to snuggle with him and saying "Mommy, I love you" completely out of the blue. I've caught myself wanting to say "what have you broken or what have you done?" but I can save those words for a few more years because right now he just loves me because I'm his Mommy.

Love my boys :)

Yes we are Irish!

In honor of a family holiday tomorrow. Garet and I both have Irish in our family backgrounds so I guess that makes our children extra-Irish :) So we will celebrate extra hard for them tomorrow at the parade! Always a reason to have a good time.

Happy St. Patricks Day!

4 months

Weight: 15lbs 13 ounces
Length: 25 1/4 inches
Clothes: 3-6 or 6 month
Diapers: size 3 tempted to put 4's on him at night because of his leakage.
Sleeping: 3 naps a day and longest stretch at night is still 6 hours :(
Food: breast milk and the occasional formula bottle (similac sensitive) maybe one a day if that. We have also introduced cereal this last week. It's so funny to watch him learn how to eat.
Activity: He is still a very lazy baby but he is enjoying tummy time, rolling from front to back, inch worming front and back, sitting in the bumbo, and chewing on things.
Other random things: still takes a pacifier. Loves being held and will fall asleep in anybody's arms (snuggle bug)! Already a mommas boy :)

I feel like there is so much more that has changed in the last 2 months but I can't think of it. In my eyes he is the sweetest, cutest baby I have ever laid eyes on. Caleb and Carson are different in so many ways and I love it that way!

Here is my chunker's monthly picture!

His monthly picture with a prop is still to come. I got him all ready to do it and he spit up all over the shirt. So much for planning!
