Rambling July

July has been a busy month so far. Little B turned 20 months and is fast approaching the big 2! I can't believe that we need to start planning a birthday party so soon. It seems like he just turned 1 but in other ways he has grown up so much in just the last few weeks. He is now talking in phrases and repeating everything you say. He knows the sounds that cows, ducks, and sharks make; he LOVES "Koe" and "Awyer"; he wrestles with Daddy and attempts with his brother when we aren't watching; loves to brush his "keef"; play outside; ride his dump truck; and flush the toilet. He says potty but only after he's gone so we are going to have to work on that one! He eats amazingly well, he must take after Jerms on that. He loves veggies and fruit and would prefer them over meat and cookies. Bananas are the hit this month and are running in a tie for first with tomatoes! He is such a little man with a temper but we are working on learning to control it (also from Jerms!). Little S is now 7 months, or will be on Tuesday. He is sitting for 30 secs or so before crashing over; jumping in the exersaucer; laughing; loves to be on his belly; and is an eating machine. He is now eating stage 2 foods twice a day and cereal once a day. He still takes 5 bottles/nursing sessions in addition. He is taking less with some of the bottles though. Little chunk is getting heavy! He isn't far from crawling and is pushing himself around and rolling to where he wants to go. I can't wait to watch these boys grow! Each age has been my favorite so far. I can't choose. I love them all!

We have spent our time running from place to place. We spent the 4th weekend with Jeremy's parents at the pool and the boys loved it! We then turned around that Thursday and went to the beach for a long weekend to see my mom, sister, aunt, and grandma. It was great and very relaxing. B and S got some more swim time, lots of hugs and kisses, and Jerms and I even went on a date! Only the second time that we have since S was born. It was great to get out and enjoy each others company. Maybe we will do it again soon! We got some great photos of the boys on the beach and I will have to load them later. S still sleeps in our room which is where the computer is also so I can't be to noisy in here! Trying not to wake the sleeping babe if you know what I mean. I have also gotten some really great Christmas outfits lately on ebay! I hope to find B a matching one to the one that I got S tonight. Hopefully to make for some cute shots then! I have been using my sewing machine a good bit, actually made the boys 4th of July shirts and have made baby gifts galore. I can't wait for all these falls babies to come! So enough of my rambling tonight. Hopefully I'll get some pictures loaded soon!

Jeremy's Bday and Sawyers six month

So I promised myself that I would blog weekly but I've been busy and it has gotten put on the back burner for awhile. Over the last few day Sawyer has turned 6 months old and Jeremy has turned 27! Little Sawyer had his 6 month appt today and he is now weighing in at 20lbs and 6oz and it 27 3/4inches long. He is growing up fast and is a big little guy! He is now rolling over both ways very well, cooing a ton, sitting in a tripod sit, and loving his exersaucer! He is such a cute man! Bronner is now 19 months old and talking up a storm! He is putting words together and his favorite phrase is "Where did it go" but it sounds like "Whered go?". He is so funny, loves entertaining his little bother and making him laugh. He has officially mastered climbing and throwing. Our house is a constant baseball field. My little guys are growing up fast! What am I going to do?! Jeremy is celebrating his bday with weekend with family and we also went out to celebrate with sushi last night!

We found out recently that we are going to have a nephew named Brody! We can't wait until November to meet him! Jeremy's cousin is also expecting and they too are having a boy! It is going to be boy central next summer at the pool! We can't wait.

We are going to the pool this weekend for Jeremy's family reunion and next we are headed to Gulf Shores for the weekend to meet my mom. I can't wait for her to see how the boys have grown. She isn't going to believe it.

Work has been going well lately! I got to help Katie deliver Amy's little Fuller! She did great and hopefully had a birth experience she will remember with great joy. I have had some natural patients lately but haven't been able to deliver them. I just finished orienting a new employee and am back to being by myself again. Kinda weird after 12ish weeks of orientation! I have also been making the boys some super cute clothes. I will have to post pics of their 4th of July shirts after they wear them tomorrow! Anyways I need to run but just wanted to update with Sawyer's stats before I forgot them! Hopefully I'll have time to post Sunday night!

Pool Time Fun

Memorial Day was my weekend to work this year so the boys took off on Friday to J's parents house to spend the weekend and Monday. It was a long 4 days of work for me but the boys sure had fun! The following weekend we went back to celebrate my SIL Dyana's bday and spend the weekend at the pool! We has a blast. B loves it and S seemed to enjoy his time as well. DeAnna and Jen brought their kids over on Saturday for awhile and we all loved spending time together. We celebrated Karsyn's 3rd birthday on Sunday and the boys were loved on my Grandma Roberts and their aunts. Not much else has been going on around here besides the normal day to day.

B turns 19 months today! Oh how time flies. I can't believe he is getting so big. He comes home filthy from school every day from playing outside which is his favorite things to do. He is talking a lot. Most of which we still can't understand but we are picking up more words daily. He has started to count to 3 but you have to prompt him with the number 1. He can sing the ABC's somewhat and always get the letters P and Z right! He is sitting on his potty but has yet to do anything but hopefully soon! I just can't believe that my baby is growing up so fast. He will be 2 before we know it.

Little S is growing too! He is almost six months now and is laughing all the time. He is an angel baby and I couldn't have asked for a better one. The only bad thing is it makes me want another one! Maybe one day.

This Time a Year Ago

Last year when B was this age we found out we were expecting little S! This year we aren't so blessed as to be expecting again. Last year we found out April 23 that we were pregnant and B was 5 months old. This year on May 23 Sawyer is 5 months old and we are as happy as can be! Another baby might come along in the future but for now we will have a ton of fun raising our two boys!

Where have 5 months gone?

Sawyer Reed is 5 months old! How can it be? He is getting so big. We have started rice cereal and he is finally sleeping better again. Hopefully it lasts! He is now completely rolling over, starting to enjoy sitting in his exersaucer, and has outgrown his swing. Look who I found sitting in it today!

Bronner had his 18 month check up today and weighed in at 27 lbs 10oz and is 32.5 inches long. He is in the 75% for his height and weight. He is doing great! We are going to start on some Zyrtec to see if that will help with the constant congestion. Hopefully it will. Dr S gave us a clean bill of health and we don't have to go back for 6 months!

My little garden is doing so good! My pepper plants are blooming and my zucchini have some buds that are about to bloom! I can't wait to see the finished product. Hopefully I can keep it alive that long! So far I have only lost one plant. I think that is a pretty good ratio! My daylilys have also started blooming. I love them! They are so pretty and how I wish they lasted more than a day!

Here are some more pics from the last few weeks! Hope you enjoy!

A Busy Week

This week was a busy one around our house! All the normal work, sleep during odd and normal hours, clean, laundry, chase/feed/diaper/discipline babies plus it was Caitlin's graduation from Samford. Jeremy's mom and dad came on Friday for the day and kept the kiddos while I went to a doctor's appt. All was well and NO Kelley we aren't preggo again ... yet! Jeremy and his dad also made a gate for the top of the stairs so that B can play outside on the deck without me worrying about him falling down the stairs. It is great and it matches perfectly! Saturday we spent the day at Samford and Cait's appt and the boys got to play with Karsyn and Carter. Corbin stayed home with Joey for some one on one time and I'm sure that they had a blast but we did miss them! We got some cute family pics at the SU campus and I will have to post them soon but the camera is elsewhere and I honestly don't feel like finding it and downloading the pics tonight! We also got to see Dee's new baby's u/s pics and video and they were so cute. He is definitely a boy! Today we spent the afternoon at the zoo and unfortunately got soaked on the way to the car but had a great time. B loved spending time with Mimi and Poppy and riding the carousel! All in all it had been a great weekend!

Our garden is coming along and all of our plants except one squash seem to be doing good. Hopefully the rain today and a little fertilizer tomorrow will perk it back up. I have a little bug that is eating my pepper leaves so I am going to have to get something to take care of that problem too but hopefully in the next few weeks we will see some major growing on those straw bales!

Well this week doesn't seem like it is going to slow down any but hopefully I will get time to post some pics!

Spring Time Fun

It has been a busy few weeks since I last blogged! I am going to try and be a lot better about this. My sis in law showed me a website that will print your blog into a book like a journal and I loved it so I am going to do my best to keep up and then print at the end of the year! I am so looking forward to it!

Anyways in the last few weeks Sawyer had his 4 month check up and everything went great. He got his shots and tolerated them well. No fever or anything. He was in the 95% for weight at 17lbs 2oz and 98% for height at 26 1/2 inches! He is a big boy with some chunky monkey cheeks and everybody loves it! He has started rolling over, "talking" more, and laughing. Bronner can make him laugh and it is so cute to watch them together. He is sitting in his bumbo and soon will be ready for his exersaucer. Bronner goes for his 18 month check up in a week or so and I am anxious to see where he falls. He has been gradually falling on the growth chart to a more normal weight/height but always in coordination with one another. I am guessing he will be about the 75%. He is growing like a little weed, has started running, minds well, and is really into being outside. We just bought him a little kiddy pool and tried it out this weekend at Neese's. Unfortunately he didn't love it. Maybe on a warmer day he will get into it! I hope he loves it so we can enjoy some outdoor time this summer! We have recently enjoyed trips to the zoo and the botanical gardens. Bronner loves the zoo and we hope to frequent there this summer! The gardens were gorgeous and we got some really cute pics!

We spent yesterday at Neese's for mother's day. Dyana and Jason were over and I got to see their u/s pics! I am so excited to find out if its a boy or girl! I'm pulling for a girl so I can get my bow and headband with the big flower fix! Although a boy would be fun too since he would be so close in age with our boys. Jeremy and Bronner braved the pool on Friday afternoon but Saturday it was to cold to get in. Maybe in a few more weeks it will warm up enough for us to enjoy some lazy Saturdays over there.

Today was Mother's day and it was great. It was our week to keep the nursery at church and then we went out to lunch. To the Mexican place we frequent almost every Sunday. Bronner and Jeremy then took at 2 hour nap and Sawyer and I played and nursed and napped a little too! It was great getting some one on one time with my baby. Jeremy and B then went to run some errands aka get mom a card :) while S and I enjoyed some time outside. We, really I, have started a straw bale garden. I read about the technique online and it looked easy and cheap so I gave it a try. You have to "prepare" your bales and then about 10 days later you plant. But supposedly you don't have weeds and such. We will see how it goes. I planted today and there are 2 tomato plants, 2 squash, 2 cantaloupes, a cucumber, some peppers, and a watermelon. I am so excited to see how it goes. I also know I have lived in AL to long because I have tomato plants planted in huge decorative pots by the front steps! But this is my reasoning 1. no one uses the front door 2. it gets the most sun and 3. who really cares if they taste good! I hope we get tons of tomatoes. I really would love to make some salsa to put up and maybe some marinara sauce. I know being adventurous but hey I have energy now that there is no baby in my belly!

This coming week is going to be a busy one. Mom and Dad are coming on Friday for Cait's graduation. I can't believe that she is graduating this weekend! I am excited for her and excited to see all the family that will be in town for the festivities! Well I promise more to come soon! I hope to blog weekly for myself more than anything. Really to journal our lives!
