Snooze and Snore

Excited to catch up on my zzzzzs this weekend :) This little fellow does it best!

Happy Friday :)

Brothers

How do I put into words the love I feel as I watch these two together? Such sweetness there is as Caleb kneels close to Lucas, trying to cuddle. His excitement when Lucas opens his eyes, and stares right at him. The wonder I see on Caleb's face at this little person who has entered his life. My prayer is that my sweet boys will be more than brothers, they'll be best friends like I am with my sisters. And that Dave and I will nurture and help guide them on that journey. I love you my sweet boys.

2 weeks!

You are two weeks Lucas! So far you've just been sleeping a ton. When you are awake you just look around taking in the world. You are a pretty laid back little guy. You are a quick eater and a big sleeper. And there's not much more to say yet. We love you so much. You are our calm in the midst of a busy day. You don't do much but sleep, eat, and poop, but we love you more than you'll ever know!

Both boys at 2 weeks :)

Happy 23 Months Little Man!

My sweet Caleb-

You are almost two years old. You've had a lot of changes this month. You became a big brother. You are so sweet and gentle with Lucas. You love touching his toes and giving him hugs. You love rubbing his belly and pointing out his eyes, nose, mouth, ears, and toes. It is so sweet to watch you two together.
What you've been up to this month
You are saying so many words to point out different things and to try and communicate what you want.
You have been on a super early schedule which we are going to have try and adjust a little bit so we can all get some sleep after Grandma leaves. You are going to bed by 6:30 and waking up around 5:30 (eek) and taking an early 11-noonish-1:30 nap. Hopefully we can extend your morning sleep soon!
You are really into elmo right now! You love reading your elmo book, playing with your elmo stuffed animal, and watching elmo videos. You also love saying elmo's name, multiple times a day :)
You are in a big daddy phase right now. I think you know mama needs to be with baby more, so you've gone to dad for a lot of things. You had such a nice week doing stuff with him while he was off. You've done great since he went back to work.
We love you so much little man! You are our light and our joy and we love watching you grow and learn everyday. You make us so proud.

Daddy

Dad goes back to work tomorrow. And while Lucas won't notice he's missing, I'm sure Caleb will. They've been two peas in a pod all week. Thank goodness Grandma is here to help out. It's been nice having hubs around all week! We're gonna miss you dad.
Best buds

Thankful

for my wonderful hubs. He's been off all week to help at home and it has been WONDERFUL! I'm sad he has to go back on Tuesday. But more help is on the way in the form of Grandma :) So that is nice!
Thank you for all you do Dave. You are more amazing as a husband and a father than you'll ever know. I am blessed to be your wife.

Tip Toe

When Caleb finishes reading his bedtime books with us, we have him 'tip-toe' to bed. "Tip toe, tip toe" and he grabs his blankets and monkeys and hunkers down for the night. And then I do my own little 'tip toe' into his room before I go to bed. And last night, when I snuck in, and I saw his body stretched out across the bed, I wondered, " when did he get so big?" I know he seems way big next to Lucas, but his body takes up almost half of his bed! Oh Caleb, I hope you'll always know how much I love you. I hope I always show you how important and special and treasured you are.

notice monkey is used as a pillow (lo', lo' according to Caleb)
And Lucas, I hope you'll always know how loved, and treasured, and important you are.
My sweet boys, I love you to the moon and back.
