I'm in Love

We've had a fun, but sickly, two weeks as a family. Gus has been battling an ear infection and sinus infection and BJ spent most of last week sick with a "full head infection" - hopefully we'll all be on the mend soon.

Its been an amazing two weeks watching my two little ones grow.

We kicked our roommate (i.e. Carson) out two weeks ago and reluctantly started an adaptation of the Baby Wise schedule. We've been projectile free ever since and she's getting up once a night and taking her full bottles during the day, which makes life a lot easier on everyone (the grazing had gotten to be a little sanity rattling).

Carson is as laid back as Gus was as a baby, but she is much more of a snuggle bug, which I'm admittedly enjoying. She found her thumb and her satin lovie and she puts herself to sleep without a fuss - true bliss for me!

We've been working on manners with Gus, and he says please, thank you and your welcome pretty much unprompted now. He defaults to "Yes Ma'am" when he's not sure what he wants - melts my heart. He is a smart, funny, and loving little boy, I am so enjoying this age with him.

Here are a few pictures from the past few weeks, love my kiddos!


Gus loves going to Carson's room and chillin' in the crib with her


Carson loves her bumbo - she doesn't want to miss a thing!


Pajama Day at preschool


Snuggling with Daddy


Playing Pirate while helping do the dishes


Making Valentines (foam hearts and stickers - he loved it!)

Valentine's Party at preschool


Carson's first Valentine's Day


Saturday Morning cuddle time with Mommy


Love this little peanut


Gus reading to Carson (he got the books from her room too, he loves to try to read on his own these days, it usually goes something like this "Once upon a time....the end" - hilarious because I can't name one book we read to him that starts out "once upon a time" - kid cracks me up and he is truly a sweet big brother)


One of Gus's classic faces


And another...
