Big Boys!

Yesterday we too both boys to the doctor's office for regular check ups. It was Ethan's 4 week (at 5 weeks old) appt. and Jonathan's 18 month appointment. Yes, we are crazy for doing both appointments at the same time, but I had Matt to help. Plus, we didn't want to make another trip all the way out to Matthews for two separate appointments (we still drive 45 minutes to our Pediatrician because she is awesome).

Jonathan was 24 pounds and 33 inches tall. She was very proud of his accomplishments. She agrees that he may not be talking up a storm right now, but he IS VERY smart:) Jonathan got 4 shots!! He was really upset at first, but then we went to lunch and Target to get some more cars and he got over it!

Ethan was 8 pounds and 11 ounces and 21 inches long. She said that he looked perfect! No shots for Ethan on this visit, but next one will be rough for him.

Everyone, including myself is feeling great. The boys are getting bigger by the day and for the first time in a long time, I am not.

Smart man!

Jonathan may not talk much, but he is so... smart!! He know the names of all 50 cars!

1 month!

Saturday, Ethan turned 1 month old! I can't believe how fast time has gone by. It only feels like it has been a month at 3am when I can't get him to go back to sleep! He is such a sweet baby. the night sleeping is getting a little better. Matt and I are taking shifts sleeping downstairs and letting the other person actually sleep. Ethan is still snoring and grunting like a baby elephant, but it is getting better too. We have a doctor's appointment tomorrow and we will post all of his new stats. But for now, here he is playing on the floor yesterday. What a happy little man:)

A Very Happy Halloween!

Halloween was so much fun for Jonathan. We took him to the Trunk or Treat at Matt's parent's church and he really enjoyed picking out his candy! He was dressed as a doctor from Georgia, of course and Ethan was a zebra. When we got home we walked to the neighbor's house for more candy. Jonathan ate some candy for the first time when we got home and then bounced around the livingroom for a while afterwards. He really liked answering the door every time the doorbell rang too! As you can tell by the pictures, it was a successful day!!

We love tummy time!

I can't believe that Ethan is already over three weeks old!! He is growing so fast and he should considering how often he wakes me up to eat!! He love tummy time and this time I caught a little smile:)

What do I want to be when I grow up?

The Best Big Brother!!

Tupperware collector?

Stick collector??

Culinary Master??

Doctor (MD or DVM)?

Professional Golfer?

Landscape designer??

Jonathan has been busy being a great big brother. He loves to give Ethan kisses all day long. When he is not busy giving kisses, he is busy trying to decide what he wants to be when he grows up! Basically, "helping" mommy out around the house. He getting to be such a big boy. Which do you think would suit him best??

Ready for Halloween!

Today we are getting ready for Halloween. My mom is leaving tomorrow and we decided to finally take some new family pictures. Unfortunately, Matt is at work today, so we will torture him tonight when he gets home. Jonathan was so sweet sitting with Ethan. He is such a great big brother!!
