Beautiful Weather
The past few weeks, the weather has been absolutely beautiful and we’ve been outside a lot enjoying flowering in bloom, watching our chickens, gardening and all the wonderful things that come with spring!
Sweet Paxton loves flowers!!
It’s been wonderful to get this little guy out some. We typically play while he’s napping or I wear him but it’s fun to bring a quilt out and let him enjoy being outside. {And I thought having a December baby was horrible but it’s really nice, now that the weather is warming up, he’s old enough to be outside with us! Paxton was an April baby and we pretty much stayed inside all spring and summer when he was teeny.}
Look at that serious look from such a little person!
He’s holding his head up like such a big boy!!
I adore his sweet little baby hair!!
While I was snapping pictures of Weston, Paxton was having a blast playing around this tree.
It is so much fun watching him and his imagination! A stick or a pinecone, coupled with the imagination of an almost 2 year old, becomes many fun things…who needs toys?!
Belly bumping the tree…so happy I captured this moment!
Playing with pinecones.
And the best shot I could get of the boys together…photographing 2 little ones is hard work!
The Rest of February
Now that’s it’s nearly mid-March, I’m wrapping up February on this blog! I just get behind! These pictures are from the 20th to 29th!
While ironing one day, I propped Weston up on the Boppy and he fell asleep…precious!!
Sweet, sweet little baby!
Weston was napping and Paxton was playing on the iPad and I knocked out the ironing!
I put Paxton in one of our old slings just to see if he would fit and he did! He immediately put his head on my shoulder and seemed quite cozy!
Love his grumpy face!
Having fun with the toddler in the sling!
He hijacked my boots and was stompin’ around in them!
Walking so good in mamas big boots!
Brothers…matching! I love it!
Sweet, sweet boys!
Sweet chunky little Weston!!
Paxton put macaroni in his hair one night. It was funny so I had to take a picture so I could look back and laugh but I was not happy at the moment. Macaroni & cheese is hard to get out of hair…especially the hair of a toddler who hates having his hair washed, not fun!
One night hanging out with us before bedtime…before he move to his crib.
My sweet little baby!! And notice his awesome hairline?!?!
I love the back of his sweet little head and that long hair on the bottom!
Two Months
Weston was 2 months old on February 22! {The day these pictures were taken!}
He’s getting to be such a big boy, holding his head up very well, smiling and cooing!
He’s quite chunky…here are his sweet back rolls, love them!
Milestones from One Month to Two Months:
- Nursing every 2-3 hours
- Wearing 0-3 month clothing
- Wearing bumGenius diapers on medium setting
- Holding his head up very well
- Weighs 13 pounds 13 ounces
- In the 95th percentile for weight & 75th for height
- Is a hard burper and has belly aches frequently. He’ll cry and cry and cry and there’s nothing we can do but hold him.
- First real smiles at 5 weeks old!
- If his belly doesn’t hurt, he’s smiling and cooing. {And it’s beyond precious!}
- Typically only waking once during the night to nurse, occasionally not at all! {Yippee!!}
Brother!! Oh how I love these two! They’re beginning to interact a little bit and it’s so much fun to watch.
Our chunky little man!
And I love the thick hair on the back of his head! And more rolls!
February 7-13
I haven’t updated on this blog in a while so here is a post full of pictures of the boys from February 7-13!
Wearing sweet Weston! He loves this carrier and so do I!
Our sweet little farmer! He love wearing his hat these days {since daddy wears a hat all the time!}
Running! Love it!
He’s also big into helping daddy! He received a hammer from his Aunt Pam for Christmas and he loves using his ‘ham’ outside in the shop! John David has created him a board with nails in it {that he can’t get out} for him to hammer on! And of course, he’s supervised when he’s in the shop! It’s precious watching him trying to be just like daddy!
Sweet little helper!
Little Weston is quite the chunk these days! He looks so chunky in this shot…I just love it!
Sweet baby smiles!
Paxton has quite the appetite these days so I decided to take pictures of his lunch so I could see exactly how much this boy puts away! Here’s round 1!
Round 2
Round 4
I was amazed at how much he ate!
2 peanut butter crackers
3 apple slices
3 baby carrots
5 cubes of cheese
1 banana
5 chips
handful of trail mix
We might have to up the grocery budget soon!
Weston was given his first bottle on the 13th! He did a pretty good job taking it!
This is one of my favorite pictures! We found Paxton looking like he had a goatee after he got into a box of chocolate and helped himself to a piece! Love this expression!
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!
