Pre Bachelor Pad

Here are some pictures of our week. I will be out of town next week, so it will be daddy daycare and and a bachelor pad around here!

Caleb likes to feed himself. He is getting very good with a fork, and he does an especially great job with the spoon. Yogurt is one of his favorites:).
Caleb loves being read to and pointing out pictures in books, and he is getting interested in letters. We were in the kitchen, and came out to this sight. He was acting like it was Nathan's kindle, and was trying to get the screen to change:).
This sweet guy is all love. He is very alert and awake a lot of the day. Best part is, he is sleeping through the night from about 8pm - 6ish! He wakes up sometimes, but easily goes back to bed most nights with a pacifier.
I will be missing the boys a lot this week, but I know they will have a great week and are in the perfect hands of their father.
Happy Friday!

Will You Be Mine?


Happy Valentine's Day! I love all of the boys in my life :)



This weekend, Caleb made some Valentine cards out of sweet potatoes stamps. It was easy and fun for him to stamp the cards. 
In progress...
The final product:)
Every year for Valentine's Day, I make Nathan a heart-shaped red velvet cake. This year, Caleb enjoyed some cake too.
Oh, how I love these sweet boys! Hope your day is filled with lots of love!

Ben is 4 months old!

Happy 4 months Ben! This sweet boy lights up our life everyday, and we feel like his personality is really starting to show this past month. As soon as he sees us, he gets the biggest smile, and he coos and laughs a lot.  He even greets me with a big smile in the middle of the night when he wakes me to eat. He is a very happy baby! 
Ben holds onto rattles and blankets really well, he likes to suck on his hands, and he enjoys being on his tummy. He likes to sit in the high chair or on the couch, for a change of scenery, and he loves bathtime with Caleb. When Caleb is close by, Ben's eyes are locked on him, and we know that he is going to look up to his big brother.
Ben is a solid boy and growing fast! He is in 6 month clothes and size 3 diapers.  We take him to the doctor next week for his 4 month checkup, but we think he weighs close to 16lbs already. He sleeps 6-7 hour stretches at night, takes 3-4 naps a day. He eats every 3-4 hours during the day, and nurses usually one time a night.
I never knew the love I could have for a child, until we had our boys. It's the most amazing feeling in the world, and I am thankful for our sweet boys everyday. Happy 4 months Ben, we love you!

Not to compare because we know all children are unique, and these two boys could not be any more different! Just for fun here is Caleb at 4 months old .

The sound of music...

Ben is getting much more vocal. We love making him laugh and listening to him talk. Tonight he had a lot to say, and he knows exactly how to make mommy laugh.
