The Boys

We recently went to IHOP for some delicious goodness and snapped a quick pic. Sorry for the delayed entries. We've been hit with one calamity after another here. Nothing major, just lots of colds, sickness, and now I went and broke a bone in my foot and have to wear a boot, so I'm hobbling around. Lachlan is doing better at school. He's at the end of his second week and first full week. He's doing much better with the bottle, and I'm nursing him at lunch, so I know he's getting at least one good meal a day. Unfortunately, all attempts at getting him to sleep in his crib have gone by the wayside, especially now that I can't get up and down all night (but to be honest, the attempts ended before I broke my foot...more like when I started back at work). He just sleeps 100x better and longer when he's sleeping next to someone. Bennett wasn't like this at all. He slept better in his crib. I guess its true that you slack with the second kid more, but its because you are just so darn tired taking care of the older one too. We're still figuring it out, but as long as everyone is happy, I think we're doing OK. Of course, when Lachlan is still sleeping with us at age 10, then we'll know we totally screwed up. :-)

Hopefully the last of the snow/ice

It has been cold up here and even when most kids would love to play in the snow, ours would only do it in short bursts. Here is one of those bursts.

More Pics to Warm your Hearts!

Lachlan is 2 months old!

Lachlan is growing. At his 2 month check up, he weighed 12 lbs, 7.5 oz, which is in the 75th percentile. He was actually almost a pound smaller than Bennett was at that age, but he does not have colic so he's not being fed around the clock...though he does still have his crying fits, don't get me wrong! He already adores his older brother. I'm amazed with how much he puts up with Bennett's shenanigans. Then again, Bennett puts up with Lachlan's long bouts of crying, which are due to the fact that he does NOT like to go to sleep. Oh well, this too shall pass...at least that is what I keep telling myself. I'm just trying to enjoy the good moments before I head back to work in February. I'm hoping Lachlan miraculously sleeps through the night the week I start work-ha ha.

Merry Christmas Eve!

Holiday Pictures

Here are Bennett's school picture and the boys' picture with Santa. I'm wondering how they got Bennett to give such a good smile because we sure can't get one around here.

6 Weeks Old!

Lachlan is getting big...he's around 10-11 lbs (we got a new scale and I'm not sure its entirely accurate). We're having our challenges. While he doesn't have colic, he is a bear to put to sleep at night. During the day, he usually goes down for naps pretty well, but for the last week, every night is 2 hours of intermittent crying before he finally falls asleep for good. I think he just wants to stay up with the rest of the family. :-)
