BROTHERS

It has been quite fun trying to balance my attention between these 2 little boys. Luckily Jax loves his little brother and loves to hold him and give him kisses. It is so cute to watch! Hopefully Bennett will one day love Jax just as much and the love will be shared.
Jax loves to give his brother kisses. We just have to be careful and make sure it is a supervised kiss. Jax has not quite gotten the gentleness aspect down.

Jax is so proud of his brother and even more proud of himself when he holds him.
This makes me excited for them to grow up together. It will be so nice to have them so close in age and hope that they will be best friends most of the time (I know I would be asking way to much if I said all of the time!!). I love these little guys so so much!!!

New Deck and Busy Helping Hands

We have had the idea and planning for our deck for quite some time. Saturday we were able to get a lot of the deck completed finally after Gary slowly working on it for over a year. We had tons of help from so many family members We are so grateful to have such a supportive and loving family. The deck looks great and we are so excited to use it.


Jax thought that the deck building was great and wanted to help out!

Jax is such a busy body and is all over the place. He wants to be involved in everything and anything we are doing. He thinks he is so helpful!

Busy Busy With 2

I never imagined how busy our lives would become with having 2 babies!! I hope and pray that one day we can develop some sort of routine. Until then I guess our home just may be chaos (a happy chaos). As busy as we are, I can't imagine life any different. I love these two little guys more than anything and love being a mom!!

Lots has happened these last few weeks. Jax now has not just one but two teeth, is now crawling, pulling him self up on furniture, and making big messes out of our dvd and cd collection. Bennett is doing a little better with sleeping in the night, although we still have good and bad days. Bennett still sleeps, eats and poops a ton!!

So we have been trying to teach/encourage Jax to pick up food, bottle, sippy cup on his own. He will pick it up but just can't figure out how to make it to his mouth. This week I was practicing with cereal and Jax came up with a better way to eat!! I think he watches his puppies a little too much.

Jax is definitely starting to cruise around the furniture. He is Mr. mobile now and thinks he can go just about anywhere. This is him losing his pants, I never thought I would have a problem with him trying to sag his pants already.

Jax seriously has the funniest personality ever. He is such a social baby. He honestly has the most contagious laugh and smile, you can't help but be happy when looking at him like this.

Bennett is growing like crazy! This kid constantly thinks he is starving and would seriously like to eat all day. I have nicknamed him my "little bird" due to him looking like this a lot of the time opening and closing his mouth like a baby bird. He also has skinny little bird legs just like a "little bird"!!
1st bath at home for Bennett went great and he loved every minute. He really didn't make a peep and just sat in his little chair. He already is just like his brother and loves the water. I think we are in big trouble when Bennett is a bit bigger and we bathe them together (we are going to come out soaked!)
