2 Months Old and Catching Up....

I cannot believe J will be 2 months old tomorrow. Time has really flown by!! J is doing great. We went to the doctor at 6 weeks for checkup and shots. His stats were: 10 lbs 6 oz, 23 inches long. He is getting so big. It is hard to believe he was 4 weeks early and has already caught up to normal weight. We have had a few problems here and there with reflux, and tummy problems, but nothing compared to what we experienced with Taylor. He is finally sleeping better, and napping better. He really has pretty much the same schedule daily. He stays awake most of the morning, and naps really long after his lunchtime bottle. If we go somewhere in the car, he will sleep in his car seat for hours at a time. Taylor loves her baby brother so much. She is a really big help, and wants him to be able to play really bad. When we put him on the floor for tummy time, she goes nuts playing with him.. and he loves it!! He really knows the sound of her voice as much as his mommy and daddy's voice. He hasn't started smiling at us yet, only in his sleep. He has a lot of head control and would like to be able to hold it up all on his own. He is growing out of all his clothes, and we are constantly buying more. He still has a ton of hair and the prettiest blue eyes!! Her loves to be outside in the sunshine. He is so strong the nurse could barely hold his little legs still to give him the shots. He has his own little personality and we are loving every minute with him!!

We went to the beach for a week during Spring Break. It was a lot of fun to get the babies together. This was the first time J and Eli (a day apart) have met. It was weird to see how different they are in size. Toward the middle of the trip, the babies ended up on the same schedule and it was funny because one would cry, and then the other one would start, much like having twins I'm sure :) Taylor and Drew had a ball together, of course. They play so well together, and their Cici gives them whatever they want, so they are happy!!

My Mom and Tim, along with Drew, Holli, Madyson, and Lexi came to visit the weekend before we left for the beach. This was the first time they all met J, so it was fun!! The girls played all day and had so much fun. Needless to say, we have had a very eventful couple of weeks. I normally never take this long to update, but things change when you have 2 kiddos!! I promise to do better!! Enjoy the pics!!

I took the kids with me to a wedding shower here in Hattiesburg for Sadie. Taylor thought it was her birthday party, and helped her open ALL the gifts. She truly loved it!

Tay loves Sadie, Kyle.. she only likes him sometimes.. LOL!!

J sacked out on the way to the beach. He slept almost the entire way

We took Taylor to Build-A-Bear at the Destin Commons, and she LOVED it!! She made a bunny named Molly!!
