3 Months!

It’s hard to believe Wyatt is 3 months old already. He is so much more interested in the world around him now and loves to sit on your lap and look around. I think he’s going to be a talker like his brother because he coo’s and babbles all the time and will just smile and giggle when you blow raspberries and coo/talk back. He has big brown eyes just like his brother and they are so expressive it just cracks me up sometimes all of the expression he can show in his eyes and how quickly he can go from smiling to concern to scared and back to smiling again. He’s rolled over a few times from his tummy to back but isn’t doing it consistently yet and he’s also not sleeping through the night yet. He has a few times always when we were away from home so not sure what that means but I guess I’m not expecting much anytime soon since Gavin didn’t for the longest time but am definitely looking forward to the day when I can get more sleep :). Eliminating dairy has definitely made a huge improvement and now we are thinking that he might also have Reflux since we’ve been having some issues nursing and his symptoms seem to lean towards Reflux so hopefully we can get that figured out soon too. Other than that he’s a pretty happy and content baby. I went back to work last week but have been able to work from home so I officially go back to the office next week and will definitely miss getting to spend time with this little guy each day. Below are a few new pictures and you can click on the picasa link for some more from this past month.

Happy Easter!

Hope everyone had a great Easter. The easter bunny visited us early on Saturday morning and then we headed back to iowa to spend the weekend with my family. Both boys did great in the car going up and coming home which was nice. We went to church in Des Moines on Saturday night and Gavin got to meet the Easter bunny. He loved giving him hugs and high-fives. He also had so much fun playing with Avrie. They are so cute together and usually will just chase each other around the house screaming and laughing. Gavin loved searching for eggs in the yard and learned pretty quickly that most eggs had jelly beans so after he collected a few eggs i think he became more interested in eating the candy out of them lol.

Mommy and the boys!

This weekend was the first time that I have watched the boys overnight by myself. Ryan headed up to Ames yesterday morning for VEISHA and should be back sometime this afternoon. It has actually gone really well and we've had lots of fun although each boy has definitely had his moments/meltdowns. Gavin has especially been better than i expected which has really helped since I've had the boys home during the day by myself several times and it always seems like Gavin was extra ornery each time so i wasn't sure what i was getting myself into this weekend. Luckily it was nice here so we were able to go outside for a little bit and go for a walk. I'm so thankful that we didn't get the snow that they got in Iowa and other places. Last night before bed Wyatt was laying on the ground and Gavin decided he wanted to lay by him which is pretty unusual since usually he is so busy busy busy doing his thing that he doesn't really pay much attention to Wyatt right now. I thought that would be the perfect opportunity to get some new pictures of the two of them and Gavin was actually totally into it with lots of smiles for the camera. He did get annoyed after awhile because Wyatt kept hitting him with his arm. I tried to explain that he can't control his arms but i don't think Gavin bought it lol so we had to adjust the position a little. I even got in there for a couple although as you can tell i look a little rough. Not much me time when you're running around after one boy and hauling the other. Lots of exercise going up and down the stairs :). Overall a good day but we are looking forward to daddy getting home later today.
