2 months old!

Ahhh. Finally, a short free moment to update you all on the boys. They are doing great! Yesterday we had our 2 month doctor visit. They both continued to be 21 1/2 inches tall. Peanut is 8lbs 12 oz and Butter is 10lbs 3 oz. Peanut has a herniated belly button, but Dr. Werner says it should correct itself by the time he is one.

We have had a lot of fun firsts this last month. Both boy's have started to smile. It is A.D.O.R.A.B.L.E. So far I have only been able to catch Butter with the camera.

He is awfully adorable

Butter is also able to easily roll from this tummy to his back. He has been able to do this for some time now (the first time was 4 days after coming home from the hospital). I have video of it from October, I will have to find time to share...He is doing an amazing job of holding his head up and can already sit in a Bumbo. Big boy.

Peanut is not quite as advanced, but right on schedule. He can lift his head for shorter periods of time and is not ready to roll over yet. I hope to catch one of his little smiles on camera soon. They light up his whole face and make me melt. He has the sweetest little face.

This is his "I will not smile for the camera" face

Doodle continues to amaze me with how wonderful of a big brother he is. He loves his brothers. We are about to begin a journey into the adventures of Potty Training. Before the last couple of weeks Doodle has shown absolutely no interest in it. He would occasionally sit on the potty and even more occasionally go potty, but nothing consistent and we really had not been pushing it with the changes of the new babies. In the last few weeks he has really began to get grossed out when he goes "poopy" wanting to be changed right away and exclaiming "ewwww. gross... I poopy". He has also shown an actual interest in wearing the Spiderman "big boy" underwear that I bought him months ago. Both last night and today he actually asked to sit on the "big boy potty", he hasn't gone, but wanted to sit there. I think this weekend we will spend some time working on this. I know we would love to have 1 less box of diapers to buy!

Finally, it is CHRISTMAS TIME!! My most favorite time of the year. We have all our decorations up as of last night and I have been playing Christmas music for a week now. I also am happy to report that I am nearly done with my Christmas shopping. I cannot wait for Christmas this year. Doodle is enjoying talks of Santa and I just think it is going to be soooooo fun. We bought an "Elf on a Shelf" who he named "Moo-Moo" and I have been enjoying moving him around. Doodle says to me "Mommy, Moo-Moo moves around, don't touch him he will loose his magic." Oh how I love that sweet little boy.


2 months!
