My little dragons :)

Happy Halloween!  We went trick or treating in my sister's neighborhood and had so much fun!  The boys looked SO cute in their little dragon/dinosaur costumes.  Garrison got the whole "Trick or Treat!" thing down and was super excited about all the candy he got.  Davis fell asleep about half way through but I'm sure he enjoyed a bit of the excitement :)

Here are some pics of the night..

4 Month Check Up

Well our sweet (baby) boy is 4 months old.  I took him to his check up last Friday and here are his stats:

Weight - 16 lbs. 6 oz (76%ile)
Height - 25 in. (50%ile)

Davis continues to be such an easy going, happy little guy.  And I am seriously so in love with him!!

And here's are a few pics with his big brother...who he ADORES!

3 Months Already!

Well, no more iddy bitty newborns around this house...we have a 15 lbs baby on our hands! And he is the sweetest thing ever. Seriously! He just smiles and coos all the time and rarely cries...what a precious boy!

Right now he has his first ear infection and I just feel so bad for him! He's been a trooper throughout it all but I know he can't be feeling well :( And the poor kid apparently got my ears because I had a TON of ear infections growing up. Lucky him!

Davis had other firsts as well...his first time to the beach! We went down to Galveston with my side of the family at the end of July and had a blast! It was sooo nice to get away and have a change of scenery. Davis has also started rolling from his back to his tummy. And he's started laughing...one of the best sounds ever!

So I went back to work 3 weeks ago and the transition has gone pretty well. Davis has done great at school...which I really wasn't worried about since he's so laid back. Garrison is still adjusting...he moved up to the 2-3 year old class when he came back. We love the teacher and a lot of his friends moved up with him, so I'm sure he'll be adjusted soon enough. I think he just really enjoyed being home with Davis and I full time. And it hasn't really helped the situation that both boys were home sick all last week...no consistency yet!

And Garrison is just becoming more and more of a character. Seriously, this kid is FUNNY! I'm going to have a post dedicated to him in the next week or so...I just have to share all the funny things he's saying and doing. Love him!!

And I wanted to post some pics...but blogger is giving me an error message! Errr. Does anyone know an easy way to post pics on blogger?

Funny little guy

So Garrison is pretty hilarious.  Here's a few funny things he's saying these days:

Sarrison - Garrison

tornado - tomato

gramra - camera

weazer - weed eater

ham - hammer

nalmonds (normans) - almonds

2 Month Check Up

Davis is 2 months old and quite the big boy! Here are his stats from his check up yesterday...

Height: 23.5" (72%)

Weight: 13 lbs. 2 oz. (82%)

Head: 15.51 (35%)

He also got 3 shots and I'll tell ya what...it seriously breaks my heart to 1) watch it happening and 2) know that I am the reason he's in pain. Now I know it's a good thing in the long run but I just hate it!! He did really well with them though. However, last night was a little rough because he definitely wasn't feeling well. Poor little guy!

On another note, we moved D to his room/crib this week and he started sleeping 6 hours in a row. Wahoo!!! This makes me oh so happy :)

Overall, Davis is just doing fantastic. This sweet little guy is such an incredible addition to our family. So content, laid back and just really sweet. It seriously amazes me how much I can love someone that I haven't even known for very long. I love you Davis!!

And not to forget about Garrison...he is doing fantastic as well. This new role of big brother really suites him. I feel like he is just really flourishing right now. Becoming so independent, talking up a storm and turning into a little boy right before our very eyes. He seriously has the funniest personality - such a great sense of humor and so silly! He now has a VERY active imagination, which I just love to watch in action.

Now it's not all roses with G...he also is definitely in his "terrible 2's" and can be quite the handful. He is quite demanding, bossy and STUBBORN. Being home with him this summer has taught me LOTS of patience. One of the best things my pediatrician told me at his 2 year check up was that when kids are acting unlovable it's when they need our love the most. So when he's in the middle of one of this tantrums I tell him I love him and want to hug him. It may sound crazy, but it's working for us!

Here are some pics from a recent visit to Picture People...

So chill

Well Davis is still such an easy baby...very laid back and has such a great disposition. And thank goodness for that! We know we are super blessed :) So other than his fabulous personality, he is getting to be such a big boy. I mean seriously guys, I'm pretty sure he's going to be 13 lbs at his 2 month check up (next week). He is already out of 3 month clothes! I mean, I'm still stuffing him is some because he basically skipped that size and there's some cute outfits he's gotta wear!

We don't really have a routine down yet...we're just going with the flow. This summer has been so nice and laid back and I really like it that way. I'm just doing on demand nursing while we can...we'll have plenty of routine coming up when I go back to work! And I'll be back (part time) in mid-August. I'm not even dreading it this time because I know it's only part time and I'll still get time with my boys. And I'm thrilled because we get to keep the boys in the same school that Garrison's been going to - they don't normally do part time but are making an exception for us. Thank goodness!!

Here are a few pics over the past couple weeks...

Smile!!

I'm pretty sure there's nothing sweeter than when your baby smiles at you for the first time. Well Davis did just that this week and it was awesome!! He actually gave Bryan the first few smiles but I got a couple too! As soon as I get a picture I'll show ya that precious gummy smile :)
