Well I am a week away from going back to work. I have a lot of mixed emotions about going back. I have had so much fun on my maternity leave. I remember when Braydon was a baby and I was ready for some adult interaction and conversation. But this time it is completely different. I am loving my time at home. Each morning I spend time cuddling with the boys on the couch. After some good cuddling and a few cartoons we are ready to start our day. We usually head to the park, playground, zoo, mall or target (Braydon's favorite)! Then we all take an afternoon nap. Kellan is such a happy and easy going baby and Braydon is just hilarious to be around.
So as I am reflecting on my time at home with my boys, I thought I would just update you on some of the things the boys have been up to.
 |
| Braydon LOVES peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. He has them for breakfast, lunch and dinner. He gets his step stool and has to help you make it. |
 |
| Braydon loves "playing" with Wrigley. Wrigley is extremely patient |
 |
| Kellan likes to sleep |
 |
| Braydon loves to tackle people |
 |
| The boys love being around each other. |

So you can tell we have been keeping busy. We have reached some big milestones - Kellan weighed in at 13lbs and 13oz at his 2 month appointment (he is very healthy looking). He is also sleeping through the night!! He has moved into Braydon's room. The other night I went in at 5am when Kellan was crying. Braydon looked at me and said "mommy brother is crying." I said okay, put the binkie in his mouth and told Braydon go back to sleep and they both did!
Braydon has also gone pee in the potty a few times. He gets to watch Cars 2 when he goes, so whenever he is in the mood for the movie, he will go sit on the potty and try to pee. We have a lot more training to do, but after the first time I told him - "I am so proud of you." He said "thank you". So polite.
Sorry for the long post, but I think I am mostly caught up!
