Two Years Old

When people say that time flies when you have kids, they aren't joking. I can't believe it's already been two years since Michael was born (his birthday is on the 19th). Michael has been through a lot in his two years: allergies, weight gain problems, 3 trips to the ER, esotropia, eye glasses, too many ear infections to count (he was up the last two nights for 2-3 hours screaming...ear infection??), asthma, and many more, but let me tell you one thing...none of those things have EVER slowed him down!

Michael is F.U.N. From the time he wakes up till the time he goes to bed, he is one big ball of energy. He is the toughest kid around too. He can fall flat on his face and still won't cry. He can throw a football like no one you've ever seen (and any other object for that matter). Michael is saying lots of words, and for his birthday he learned how to say Happy Birfffday.

We love you Michael. Please make sure the next two years don't go by as fast as the last two.

4 Months Old

Our chubby sweetheart

He really is too good to be true....

Finally!!!

Michael still hasn't learned how to play soft with Preston, but he sure does love his brother. The first thing he asks when he wakes up is, "Where''s Pre Pre?"Preston fell asleep in his jumparoo. Unlike his brother, there's not much jumping going on, but he does love it. See how he's smiling?

Seriously, I can't get enough of this little guy. He's growing up way too fast, way too fast. He's the type of baby that makes you want to have 10 babies. Luckily his brother puts me back into reality!

I've sometimes wondered what happens while I'm at mutual. When I uploaded the pictures from the camera to the computer, I got a little taste of what does happen. At least I didn't have to clean it up (then again not sure if it would have happened if I was home)

  • Did I mention we're buying a house ?
  • I need to pack in a BIG way, since we're moving in 2 weeks.
  • Michael got another ear infection. Someone please tell me why this is happening with tubes in. He's also cutting his two year molars, which is not fun for anyone. Trust me.
  • Michael's new fascination is drinking water and then spitting it out at a later time
  • Michael loves to copy everything we do and say
  • Preston rolled over last Monday for the first time
  • Preston sleeps MUCH better if he's on his tummy, especially if he's not feeling good
  • I bought Preston 12 month pajamas and they fit. My 3.5 month old baby needs to quit growing so fast!!!!
  • I still can't believe how big Preston is with how much he spits up. It seems to be getting worst too. Starting today I'm going off of dairy for 3 weeks to see if it helps him. I'm praying he's not allergic to dairy. Last night Kyle bought ice cream and chocolate bars so that I could live it up one last time.
  • I made soup last week for 35 people for Young Women's in Excellence....I actually made enough for 50 people, but better to have too much then not enough!
  • My sister Candace had her first baby girl
  • I still haven't unpacked my winter/fall wardrobe, but I'm trying to figure out if I even to want to since we're moving in two weeks
  • Why does it feel like January, but it's only October?
