6 Months!

Happy Thursday Lovies! I can't believe my monkey's turned 6 months yesterday! Time.. please.. SLOW.. down!


Bennett (on right)
Weight/Height from 3/31/16 appointment: You weigh 16lb 13.4oz . You are 27 inches tall. 

Sleep: You are still waking up at least 1-2 times a night to eat. You gave Mommy some hope with a stretch of once a night but then I think a growth spurt hit again. 

Clothes and Diaper Size: Clothes you can still wear some 6 month things depending on what they are. All sleepers are 9-12 months now. You are in size 3 diapers.

Diet: Formula and purees. You LOVE food. You are your Mommy's boy when it comes eating and are always ready to eat. You love sweet potatoes, avocados, bananas, and prunes for your favorites. You've tried bananas, sweet potatoes, mangos, green beans, butternut squash, avocado, peas, apples, and carrots.

Products We Love: You love anything soft like your lovies. You still love your Sophie and are starting to like toys. 

Milestones: You flipped over from front to back and from back to front this month. You have never been the biggest fan of tummy time so now you smile and me and roll straight to your back. 

Likes: Your brother being silly or crying- you think it's the funniest thing ever! Being sang to, talked to, or patty cake. 

Dislikes: Being held too long. You definitely like to stretch out and be free. 

Cameron
Weight/Height from 3/31/16 appointment: You weigh 17lbs 15oz. You are 27 inches tall. 

Sleep: You are still getting up 1-2 times a night. You gave Mommy some hope with a stretch of once a night but then I think a growth spurt hit again. 

Clothes and Diaper Size: Wearing 9 months pretty much all around with the exception of a few 6 month things. Sleepers are size 9-12 months. Size 3 diapers.

Diet: Formula and purees. You could care less about eating really. You open your mouth to be fed but you're way too busy knocking over everything you can touch. You try to put your hands in the food, buck out of your bumbo seat, or pretty much anything you can do to check things out around you. You seem to like avocados and bananas the best but don't a have a huge swaying of things.  You've tried bananas, sweet potatoes, mangos, green beans, butternut squash, avocado, peas, apples, and carrots.

Products We Love: Jumperoo (kid you will jump for days!), Sophie, and your monkey lovie.

Milestones: You are still working on sitting up and can for a few seconds on your own. Love to jump. You have strong little legs. You are rolling around non-stop! You can roll from front to back and back to front. If you're put in one spot.. you're not staying there! :) You want to be moving constantly and seem to get bored easily. You have 2 teeth!! Both are on the bottom. I was so surprised. You stuck your tongue out for the first week or so just trying to get used to them. 

Likes: Jumping in your jumperoo and anyone holding you so you can see the world. Someone holding your hand or anything you can pull yourself up on. Thanks to Daddy- the TV remote. You like changing channels and chewing on it. 

Dislikes: Laying down or anywhere where you can't see everything and being hungry.


You little monkeys are Mommy and Daddy's whole world! So blessed you both are ours! Love you to the moon and back!

Their 1st Easter

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!

As usual fun thing fly by! Easter was no different. The Hubs was off on Friday and kept the boys. Mommy had to work :(. I decided I wanted to get a picture of the boys with the Easter bunny. I got my Hubs to meet me at Bass Pro Shop (I didn't have to ask twice to go there!). I had heard they had free.. you heard that right.. FREE. There was a line when we got there but it moved soo fast! They did a good job and we will definitely go again. They even let my MIL snap some of her own pictures! The boys had refused to nap for my Hubs so they are kinda in a daze but I'll take it!



Saturday this Mommy and both boys were struggling. My allergies are in full force and I basically spent the whole day on the couch. My inlaws came over to see the boys and I was still in pajamas, no shower, and no makeup. Sad part is.. I felt too bad to care.

Luckily Sunday morning I felt a bit better. The boys seemed to be feel better despite still having runny noses. I mean just look at these cute faces with their Easter baskets!


My Hubs reluctantly agreed (he HATES pictures!) to take a family photo at my Mom's house. I mean we matched and all. Shockingly.. this was not planned! 


We had a long day of Hubs' family for lunch and dinner with mine. A lot of driving but we made it. I can't believe their first Easter has already come and gone!

Hope everyone has a great week!

Confessions of Lately..

Can I get an AMEN that this week is almost over?! Anyone else feeling like they are dragging ass this week?!

I confess I haven't cooked one single meal in probably months. This is so NOT like me! With two babes to feed and entertain, feeding Mommy and Daddy has taken a back seat. Maybe it will help us lose weight.. Bahahaha!

I confess that I loathe losing an hour of sleep! The time change has really thrown our entire family for a loop. I'm so far beyond tired it's not even funny!

I confess that I've developed a golden oreo addiction. I bought some a on hungry shopping spree a week ago and they have been hiding in my desk at work. I can't eat just one.. help!

I confess that I didn't even realize I was registered to vote in our new house district (ok.. 3 years but still). Luckily a coworker forced me to look it up and I actually voted yesterday.

I confess that I still tear up thinking about my boys while I'm at work or away from them. Time is flying by so fast and I feel like I miss so much!

I confess that I NEED a new wardrobe including shoes. My dang feet have grown since having the boys.. sigh..worst nightmare comes true! I've lost all my weight plus a but nothing fits the same. I mean NOTHING!

I confess that I didn't get a raise this year at work. The first time this has EVER  happened in the 10 years I've been here and it's hard to stay motivated lately. I have a ton of work going but I find myself worrying or thinking about my boys.

I confess that I quickly peruse blogs during free moments at work and think I comment in my head but actually don't. I blame it on the lack of sleep.

I confess that I completely forgot that St.Patrick's Day was this week and wore a cute green outfit on Tuesday. I may or may not be wearing it again today. But I did remember the boys- see below! Now someone go drink a green beer for me!



Hope you have a good Thursday/St.Patrick's Day!

5 Months!

My sweet boys are 5 months old! Not sure how that happened. Your pictures this month crack me up! You both refused to smile. You both are such wiggle worms lately. I still love every minute of it!


Bennett (on right)
Weight/Height from 2/3/16 appointment: You weigh 14lbs 8.1oz. You are 2' 1.75" tall. Not sure what you are right now. I tried weighing you the other night on our scale and it's off. So I gave up.

Sleep: You are still waking up at least 2 times a night to eat. Sigh.

Clothes and Diaper Size: Clothes you can still wear some 6 month things depending on what they are. All sleepers are 9 months now. You are in size 2 diapers for now. You are probably ready for size 3's but I'm finishing off the 2's we have first.

Diet: Formula. We started you on purees. You LOVE it! Your favorites seem to be bananas and sweet potatoes. You've tried bananas, sweet potatoes, mangos, green beans, butternut squash, and avocado. Mommy has made all of your food so far. I hope to be able to keep this up. 

Products We Love: You are starting to love your giraffe lovie, Sophie, the swing, and anything that is soft or you can chew on.

Milestones: You are a smiley cooing baby. You can hold your bottle if you want but you chose not to. You blow bubbles constantly. You can get your knees under you to almost crawl but you're too busy chewing on your hands to actually try.  

Likes: You love for Mommy to tickle your feet or blow on your belly. You still love patty cake and any time I sing or talk to you directly. 

Dislikes: Sitting still in your car seat (still). 

Cameron
Weight/Height from 2/3/16 appointment: You weigh 15lbs 3.1oz. You are 2' 2" tall. Not sure what you are right now. I tried weighing you the other night on our scale and it's off. So I gave up.

Sleep: You are still getting up 2 times a night. You are one hungry boy!

Clothes and Diaper Size: Wearing 9 months pretty much all around with the exception of a few 6 month things. Size 2 diapers but we will probably be going up to size 3 once we finish the open pack of 2's we are on now.

Diet: Formula and purees. Some days you love food and others you'd rather just chug your bottle. You get so hungry that sometimes food doesn't satisfy you quick enough. Sometimes I have to get you a few ounces of a bottle before you will get food. You seem to like all you've tried though. You've tried bananas, sweet potatoes, mangos, green beans, butternut squash, and avocado. Mommy has made all of your food so far. I hope to be able to keep this up. 

Products We Love: Bumbo seat, jumperoo (kid you will jump for days!), Sophie, and your monkey lovie.

Milestones: You are still working on sitting up and can for a few seconds on your own. Love to jump. You have strong little legs. You are also trying your hardest to roll over. You almost have it.. you keep getting stuck on your arm. You try to crawl but haven't figured out how to get your knees under yet. 

Likes: Jumping in your jumperoo and anyone holding you so you can see the world. 

Dislikes: Laying down or anywhere where you can't see everything. 


Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss from our Little Thing 1 and Thing 2! Their expressions crack me up. They are seriously.. another picture?

I swear it looks like they plotting to run away right here. Over the pictures, Mommy!

Time keeps flying by! You boys are so much fun these days. Watching you try new foods and see new things is amazing. You both are so entranced by everything going on around you. Are both becoming very sweet of each other. If you're on your Twin Z pillow most of the time you're holding hands. You are cooing back and forth and definitely notice when one is doing something the other isn't (aka eating!). I hope you stay little buddies forever!
