life with boys

Life with boys......is WONDERFUL!  Exhausting, but full of joy.  I've been back to work for about 3 weeks now and we are getting the hang of this life as a family of 4.  This does not mean that I haven't yelled, screamed, cried, and laughed...a lot.  We have had some looooonnng nights, where we weren't sleeping and days that all we wanted was a nap, but we survived and we are enjoying watching these sweet boys grow.

Will is still sleeping in our room and for the past few weeks, Wes has ended up in our bed.  I guess we only need a house with 1 big bedroom and one HUGE bed.  But, at some point these boys will be sharing a room.  And look how cute it is. :)
At some point all the pictures will be of the boys together

I promise, I will put some pics in those frames soon


Will is 2 months old and such a sweet boy.
Right now, he LOVES:

  • being swaddled
  • eating-he eats every 3-4 hours during the day and goes anywhere from 8-10 hours at night.
  • smiling-he seriously has the best smile and loves when he is talked or sang to
  • his hands-they are in his mouth whenever he isn't swaddled to sleep
  • his big brother-I often catch Wes "playing" with him and Will has the biggest grin on his face.  Melts this momma's heart.
  • his paci
Right now, he does NOT Love:

  • being burped-throws a nice little fit every time you stop feeding him to be burped
  • the carseat-unless he has the paci
  • evening time, around 8:00-can't decide if he wants to eat or sleep
  • too much love from his brother-Wes can get a tad bit too close to Will sometimes



Wes is still adjusting to all the change.  He is a very loving big brother, but is having a hard time sharing mommy and daddy sometimes.  He also didn't like me going back to work.  But, I only have 4 more weeks and then we get to spend the summer together. :)  Will is currently sleeping better than Wes.  Wes ends up in our bed most nights.  I've realized it's just a phase and to enjoy waking up with both boys in my room. Although I am ready to sleep a night without being kicked.

"I hold you Will"



Well, time to go, I hear a baby crying for me...

And the moral of the story is...Boys rule!
