The Boys

Paxton and Weston received a package in the mail from Mimi last week! Inside were new hats! Paxton loved them both..he loves hats! He insisted on wearing his and kept it on inside for at least 30 minutes!

One cute, cute little boy!

Eating a snack…this boy is always eating these days!

So sweet!!

And baby brother has been doing a lot of sleeping…we think he’s going through a growth spurt every other day! He’s changing almost daily and losing his newborn look.

Sweet, sweet, sweet sleeping boy! We love this little one so much!

The Past Few Days

Here are a few pictures from the past few days:

Weston tucked into the guest bed…so cute!!

PPrecious, precious boy!

Laying on big brothers new sleeping bag, not too sure about it!

Blowing bubbles {and looking so much like brother did as a baby!}

This is how we found Paxton Saturday afternoon! He’s in Weston’s crib, sitting in the boppy, watching PBS on the iPad and eating Os! What a hard life!

Stuffing his face with Os!!

And I found Weston like this the other day! Instead of taking Weston’s socks, Paxton gave him his! Too funny!

And Paxton helped himself to art supplies and did a little coloring! Thankfully he just colored on a few envelopes and got marker on his hands and no where else!

And here I am last night blogging away with my sweet baby boy on me!

Toddler Antics

This is how I found Paxton one morning! I suppose I wasn’t fast enough in fixing his breakfast so he just helped himself to the brownies that were sitting on the kitchen table! {Note to self, do not leave food on the table…it will get eaten!}  :)

Notice all the crumbs around him!

Love this look…

Apparently he wanted to do a little furniture rearranging….

My two sweet boys…Weston is sleeping, Paxton is not!

Sometimes I feel like I spend 50% of my day just trying to keep the baby alive! {And don’t worry, I snapped this picture and then saved Weston from his overly loving brother!}

A Glimpse Into Our Day

We began our day around 8:30. That’s right, both boys slept until then! Paxton woke up around 7:00 and John David gave him his milk and brought him to our bed. After his midnight feeding, Weston was up at 3:30, 6:00 and 8:30 {which was an easy night for mama compared to some we’ve had!} I am hoping that since this boy is now 4 weeks old, he’ll be sleeping for longer stretches!

After I dressed everybody {minus John David…he was gone by this point!} I took pictures of our 4-week-old! He was quite serious for his little photo shoot! He’s too cute though!

Love this little expression! And he looks so chunky….thanks in part to cloth diapers {& lots of milk!}

When I nurse Weston, Paxton is always close by, he brings toys and books to me and sometimes I’ll let him play on the iPad! We were sitting across the room and Paxton was chilling on the bed!

This afternoon, I found Weston sock-less! I put socks on my sweet baby but the resident sock thief stole them…

Apparently the little sock thief needed some mittens! He wore his brothers socks as mittens for at least 30 minutes! Too funny!!

Pretending to cook!

Paxton loves his brother! He wants to hold him and he’ll often go lay down beside him. It’s so sweet…this moment was much sweeter in person, Paxton wouldn’t stay still so I could take a picture!

After dinner, I decided to be a fun mom and broke out the finger paints that Paxton received from his Mimi for Christmas! The moment I pulled them out, he was intrigued and as soon as I squirted some onto the plate, his fingers were in the paint!

Look at that sweet smile! He really enjoyed painting!

He had a big time!!

Loving finger painting! We’ll be doing this more often!

Since Weston was still napping after we were finished painting, Paxton and I took a bath and then we read our nighttime Bible story and prayed. I really enjoyed the one on one time with my big boy!

And as I was getting Paxton ready for bed, he told me he colored with his hands {in toddler language of course}! Gosh, I love being his mama!

Once Paxton was asleep, I did 30 minutes of transcribing and then nursed Weston and then John David arrived home.

Our Little Explorer

John David captured this photos of Paxton playing outside on New Year’s Day!

He found a really big stick to play with!

Looks like he’s ready to play baseball with his stick!

Getting ready to throw some leaves…

Throwing leaves at Mimi!

Our beautiful boy!
