Melting my heart and greying my hair.

This is Miles:
I swear I have hundreds of picture of him just like this, I seriously can't take enough close ups of his adorable little face. I love those big hazel eyes and those chubby little cheeks, when he smiles at me my heart just melts! Of course he isn't always smiling at me, sometimes he is smirking, yelling, frowning, or even giving me his Gollum face. This is the face he makes when things aren't going he way and he decided that screaming is the best way to deal with it:
Pretty scary eh!? ha ha. Miles is now 27 months old, he weighs 32 pounds and is 35 inches tall (just under 3 feet!)and he has become quite the little character. Anyone who knows Miles pretty much loves him, he is such a little stinker but in the most endearing way possible. Miles is a man of action, he likes to get out there and experiance life first hand good or bad he does it all!

Must know about Miles at age two:

He LOVES having FREZZING cold water dumped, splashed, or sprayed Directly lin his face. If no one else is willing to do it for him he just dose it himself and for Miles it brings utter Joy!




Miels also likes playing with Friends. He loves running with the big kids, danceing around the house, raceing his cars around the big couch in the living room, riding bikes, and just plain running wild. He dosen't really get organized sports yet so if the kids are playing it and he's not sure how to get involved he just steals the ball and runs away. Thus creating a new game, come get miles!

He is full of energy and I love all the crazy things he dose, even though he is turning my hair grey with all his mischife!

It's Nate, not Nathan.

This is my baby:

He is just too cute and I am so in love with him I can't even put it into words! When he arrived eight weeks ago we had a really tuff time picking a name for him we loved Nate but felt like he needed a proper or more traditional name so in the end we went with Nathan but we call him Nate. Nathans a great name but for our little man Nate or Nater is just a better fit.

Nate is a great baby, he LOVES to sleep and sleep and sleep and sleep! He went to a 4 hour feeding schedule in the first two weeks and has basically stuck to it ever since. He usually nurses at 12:00, 4:00, and 8:00. during the day and then like 11:00 and 5:00 at night. I know that we could be doing some sleep training but we are doing pretty good with our routine. We decided that we will sleep train him after our trip to California. He has no bedtime routine, sleeps in the sling, his chair, on the couch, my bed, and occasionally on his daddy's chest.





I know that we are creating all kinds of bad habits and many Moms out there will tell me to ESTABLISH A ROUTINE and put him to sleep in the crib starting right now but I say "FORGET IT!" We did all that with Miles and you know what? we missed out on way to many snuggles and loves and I regret it! I don't think it will take that long to brake the habits when we decide to, with AJ he was 8 months and it took three nights. They were long crappy nights but so worth the 8 months of snuggly love!!!

Aside from sleep Nate is a great nurser and likes being in the water as much as possible. He likes listening to music and LOVES reading books. He has rolled over about 10 times in the past three weeks and is okay with tummy time. He had silent reflux so he can't be on his tummy to much after eating but before he eats he is happy to be on his tummy and sucking his fists. He even sleeps on his tummy half the time! (shhhhhh.... that is our secret since it is now a major no no to sleep your babies on the tummies!)





At 8 weeks he is still a Major bobble head but I think its just because he spends about 19 hours a day sleeping and just seems to lazy to look around and everything when he is awake. He just stares at who ever is closes to him, which is usually me or Age. He weighs about 11 and a half pounds and is just moving out of newborn and into 0-3 month clothing. He has also upgraded to the size 1 diapers. He coo's occasionally but is more of a listener, maybe just because I talk so much!!! ha ha ha. Anyways I have got a few little smiles out of him but boy did he make me work for them and he mostly smiles in the middle of the night. I think this is because during the day it is usually so crazy around here he is to busy trying to figure out what is going on all around him to waste time smiling.









He is so cute I wish that I had a million more pictures of him to share but I will keep snapping what I can in between the caious that is my life! Love you Nate.

AJ and Nate

AJ just can't get enough of his little brothers. Over the past three months AJ and Miles have really started enjoying their time together. They are no longer two boys playing on their own in the same house but they are actually playing together....and enjoying it. Don't get me wrong they still bug each other, hit, wrestle, and fight but between the time outs, sorrys, and yelling at one another there is actually a little fun happening. I love it!! Siblings really are the best gift you can give your kids, even though you feel bad when you are about to have another baby because you are going to have to divide your time between them and one more person it is so worth it in the end.

Anyways AJ loves playing with Miles be he is also OBSESSED with our little Nater. I wants to hold him all the time and doesn't even get flustered when he is fussing. He will help with diapers, give him the soother, feed him the bottle, but his very favorite is to just plain snuggs him up! Sometimes he will even go get Nate while hes sleeping and pick him up to just snuggle and relax. SO CUTE. You are a great big brother Age, thanks for helping out so much with Nate.






"Mom I think Nate is wishing he could snuggle with me."
"No AJ, I want him to stay in his chair right now so I can make dinner."

10 Minutes later when I peeked in to check on everyone......."What mom? he's still in his chair!"
