Lincoln - 3 months

It's hard to believe Lincoln is already 3 months old!  This past 3 months have flown by and he is just growing and changing every day.  He smiles and coo's all the time and is such a sweet little guy.  He loves his brothers and will look their way and smile anytime he hears them talking.  He's discovered his hands and his tongue.  He loves sucking on his hands and sticking out his tongue.  It's so cute.  His sleep at night is definitely improving and he will usually give me a 4 hour stretch in between feedings and has even slept through the night a few times.  He seems to be adjusting well to his new schedule since I've returned back to work and is getting a little better about riding in the car now that we get to drive back and forth each day.  We just love him to pieces and can't wait to see what new changes are to come over the next month.

Wyatt potty training

 So our plan was to do the 3-day potty training with Wyatt like we did with Gavin and start a few weekends ago when we finally had some down-time with no plans.  Well we ended up getting a note from Wyatt’s teacher on Friday of the week prior stating that he was ready for potty training and to go ahead and send him in underwear the following Monday.  We knew he was doing really well in pull-ups going potty so we thought let’s give it a shot and see how it goes so he went to school that Monday with undies on and did so good all week with only two accidents.  His biggest challenge was getting used to pooping in the potty but we were able to get him to go that weekend and he hasn’t had an issue since.  Then the following week he went all week with no accidents at school and has only had one accident this week.  We are so proud of him and he is so thrilled to be a big boy wearing big boy undies. 

Leaves

We’ve never had a yard that had big trees with leaves before and the boys had so much fun this year helping to rake the leaves and jump in the giant leave piles. 

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween from IronMan, Super Why and my little pumpkin! 

The boys had so much fun with Halloween this year.  We carved pumpkins last weekend and they liked helping scoop the gunk out and picking out the designs.  

Then on Halloween they had a parade at their school where they got a ton of candy.  I was able to go watch and it was so cute to see all the kids parading around in their costumes.  There were lots of superheros.  Then that night my mom and Jen/Jason and their kids came over for trick or treating.  My mom, Jen and I hung out at home with the babies and handed out candy while Jason and Ryan took the older kids around the neighborhood.  They had so much fun with their cousins and got way too much candy.  Not sure what we are going to do with it all because I definitely don’t need it sitting around the house within my reach J.  

The boys even had their own jokes that they told at the houses.

Gavin’s was Why didn’t the skeleton cross the road?  Because he didn’t have any guts.

Wyatt’s was Why did the cow have a bell?  Because he didn’t have any horns.

 So cute to hear them tell them.  They are also in love with their costumes and have worn them almost every night leading up to Halloween and every night since.  They love dressing up and there aren’t a lot of dress up clothes for boys so I purchased a few extra costumes on sale after Halloween so they can have a dress up drawer to play with the rest of the year.
