29 weeks

29 weeks boys... this will forever be known as the week you both began to grow teeth!! And oh what a week it's been... you both have just been so fussy and grumpy... total opposite of your normal sweet content little precious baby boy selves!! I feel so bad because there's not much I can do besides give you tylenol and cold tethers to chew on and cuddles. You both have been extra needy and wanting to be held... and also this was the week jealousy set in... if charlie saw me holding connor Oh how he would squeal and scream for me to pick him up too... like he knew he was being left out. It just broke my heart... well towards the end of the week we figured out our "new normal" and were trying to make it work. 

Connor you started something that's REALLY FUN.... (said with intense sarcasm)... you started waking up every 3 hours in the night again... just like when you were a newborn!!! Not cool kid... not cool!!!! You are also bothering your brother in the crib so much your waking him up.... also not cool!!! So as I'm typing this... your daddy bit the bullet and put you in your own crib!!! I think I'm the only one who's sad... cause you and your brother and your daddy are sleeping and I'm awake... ha!!!
I'm praying for a good night sleep for you both!!

Besides all that we had a good week because we are blessed with you two babies who make us smile and laugh... 



 We went to grammys and we had a fun time... were gearing up for Christmas this weekend!!! It's so exciting and I want to soak up every minute!!










 You both discovered the train on your activity table... connor you found the only place the train could come off the tracks and you kept taking it off that way.... charlie relied on brute strength and ripped it off and it flew into the window... pretty cute boys!!

 Our old bottle maker bit the dust... so I bought this bottle maker to replace it and it's working great!!!
 Grammy came to lover on you boys... you guys really love her!!! Back to the jelousy.... charlie was in grammys lap and connor looked over at her and grammy said "Connors eyes said he wanted to be in my lap too" ha!!! So grammy cuddled you both!!


 Charlie by himself... we only have 1 camera and it's not where it can see both cribs... so tonight connor your on your own!!! Ha ... I'm sure I'll be up in an hour or two anyways to feed him...
 Grammys christmas card!!! I love it!!



There are so many things I'm thankful for... I know we had a hard week... but I'm still thankful for it!!! I thank God EVERYDAY for you boys!!! I prayed for a very long time for you guys and I'm so very grateful you are my boys and I'm your mommy. So even when your screaming at the top of your lungs and I can't calm you down I'm thankful for those moments. We're all learning here and trying to figure it out!! Hopefully I'm doing ok. I love you little boys more than words can say!!

***update as of Friday morning at 6:30 am!! Connor slept ALL night long!! From 930 pm to 630 am!!! Separate cribs for the win!!! Whoo hoo!! Charlie also did good only woke up at 1 am for a bottle!!

Week 28

Well we had another great week... I know I sound like a broken record but it's just true you boys are AWESOME!! Your so sweet and fun and I just love you to the moon and back... you both are getting so curious and grabbing at buttons and tags on shirts. And you guys are really aware now of where your brother is... you do not like to sleep out of reach of each other.. you like to hold hands ... it's pretty darn cute!! Your both smiley and love to giggle!! 

Connor your such an old man .. your eyebrows are very bushy and white and stick straight out... and you have fuzzy ears!!! It's super cute!!
Connor DOES NOT like peaches!!! (Side note .. charlie wouldn't open his mouth for them!! Ha)
Your doing so good at sitting in your little chairs 
We made some more carrots this past weekend... and you guys love them
Sunday morning cuddles (6 am is early on Sunday morning... but we cuddle and it makes up for the early wakeup call)
I swear you liked the avacado... even though your picture says otherwise! 
Your Jody loves you boys so much!!! We are so so so lucky to have her watching you guys!!
Oh and your grammy loves you too!!! 
We went to a funeral and grammy watched you guys... she went to change Charlies diaper and came back to connor rolling over... which is Connors new favorite thing... rolling from back to belly and then back to back... 
She also fed you some carrots... and you guys loved them ha!!! I found a wad of carrots in the back of Charlies neck that night when I was getting him ready for bed.. it made me laugh!!
And she sent me a selfie of her and charlie while connor was sleeping ... pretty cute!! 
Charlie loves to put his book on his head haha
Oh and charlie found the little train on his play chair and loves it!!
We love you guys so much!!!!
