4th of July

Some 4th of July photos I took of the boys. Well, mostly Easton.

Time is flying..again...

Drew is now a healthy, happy (for the most part) 10 week old love! At his 2 month check up, he weighed in at 12lbs 7 oz (50th percentile) and a very long 24 3/4 inches (97th percentile). He handled his first shots like a pro and wasn't even super fussy all day like big brother was! He can go from about 10 pm- 4-5am without a bottle at night so the doctor declared him sleeping through the night. We beg to differ :) The last couple nights he has gone back to sleep after that AM bottle which has been great! He is growing like a weed, drinking 5 oz of formula at a pop. And like big bro -he recently got switched to sensitive formula to help with the throwing up. For all moms that think this will stop spitting up cold turkey, it does not. This household just loves to do laundry! He recently started grabbing at his toys and last night, got his toes a couple times! He almost can hold that head of his up and has been rotating to the side a little bit when laying on his back, maybe thinking of rolling over someday? Still loves to smile and be nosy :) He almost has a schedule down which makes mama very happy!

Drew is 6 weeks old!

I mean to post right at 4 weeks, like I did for E, but as you can see, that did not happen! Drew is 6 weeks old now, weighing in at 10 lbs 4 oz from his 1 month check up.

Things about Drew:

• He loves to eat. Like seriously, This kid loves his bottle and milk. 
• He is a bit of a fussier baby than his brother was at this age.
• We call him our nosy baby. He loves to be upright, looking around. 
• He finally stopped scratching his face but usually now has his little hands balled into fists. 
• Wakes up once at night BUT he gets a late bottle ( after 9 or 10) and then wants up at 5 to eat..and be up for awhile. Not a fan of that last one!

Other happenings in our family- Easton is adjusting to gaining a new brother- and nod being the center of attention. Sadly, we have been having some freaky cold and rainy weather (think snowstorm on Mother's day) so were getting cabin fever for awhile. Easton has gone fishing for the first time and spent time in his new blow up pool. Easton still LOVES being outside but also is obsessed with watching Mickey, and only Mickey, on TV. Thank God for DVR.

Brothers in their dino tshirts. Drew is about 4 weeks old here.

Baseball with Daddy :)

We also had Drew baptized last weekend. It was a beautiful morning for him. 

Coming in a couple weeks (hopefully), Drew's 2 month stats and the Fourth of July!

Welcome Andrew!

Here we are May 20, with a 20 day old baby! Sweet Andrew Wyatt was born May 1, weighing in at 8 lbs even and 20 1/2 inches long. Here is his story in pictures....

Just born!

Easton checking out his little brother for the first time. Easton had a crazy week - new brother, first sleepover at Papa and Nana's house and shuttled around from grand parent to grandparent. He is still adjusting to life as a big brother!

Snuggles in the hospital, where we stayed from Friday morning until  Sunday Afternoon. 

in love!

My sweet boy. We are all in love with this little guy!

A new journey is beginning...

We are only 2 days out from my scheduled c-section to welcome our second son to our family!

On pregnancy-
I am currently 38 weeks and 6 days pregnant. This pregnancy has been long and tiring. I started Braxton Hicks contractions around 28 weeks (which I never got with Easton). They have been intense, painful, and physically and mentally exhausting.  I had one evening spent monitored at labor and delivery but Mr. Drew decided he is content in there and wants to stay put- causing mommy lots of discomfort. Not being able to sleep and heartburn round out the fun things happening right now. After being told that i would more than likely deliver pre- term, we have been ready for such a LONG time now. I am trying my best to enjoy this last week with Easton, our last one just him and I!

Someone wanted to try out the crib again.

Kasey manged to sneak her way into Easton;s nursery pics too. 

Don't mind our hospital bags packed in there ;-)

On Easton-
Easton's current favorite things:

• Saying "I can do it!!" and throwing a fir if you don't let him. Getting dressed in the morning and getting ready for bed takes just a bit longer now!
• His new backyard swing set. He would swing for hours if you let him. Literally, hours!
• Books, books, and more books!
• Throwing rocks outside. I was told Daddy and Papa did this too all the time as kids. 
• Loves to eat fruit- current favorites, grapes and cantaloupe. 
• The jelly beans he gets when he pees on the potty ( not every time, mind you.) Doing any #2 business on the potty STILL is not happening!
• Being outside, absolutely loves it! Especially if he can ride his little four wheeler he got for Christmas. 
• Animals, especially dogs. 
• Hugging and kissing "baby Drew" 

Easter morning, hunting eggs after church with Daddy.
