October was a wonderful month. Sam is now 8 weeks old and sleeping through the night, yep, 7 hr stretches for a week now!!! Hats off to the BabyWise sleep training method we used with both Burke and little Sam, it worked wonders for both boys. I feel like a new woman with more sleep and life seems to be getting into a better rhythm all the time with the kids. I was holding Sam the other night just staring at his beautiful, chubby face and body, wondering how I got so lucky to have 2 healthy, happy, handsome boys and the best husband in the world. He seemed to read my mind and smiled back at me.... then pooped the mother of all loads in his diaper. I couldn't help but chuckle. :) Burke is repeating everything we say and is so fun to play and hang out with. A few days ago, he and I were out in the front yard enjoying one of the last days of fall this year. I took a break from raking the leaves and watched him as he ran up and down the sidewalk. He likes to run as fast as he can for about 20 ft. then stop and turn around and wait for you to say 'more' then he runs as fast as he can the other way. He'll repeat this about 10 times. It is hilarious! I wanted to get the video camera to record how adorable it was, but I knew he'd just follow me inside so I drank in the moment and tried to burn it in my memory. Having kids is the funnest and most rewarding thing I've ever done in my life. Especially with Stu as a partner. :) Enjoy these pics. We love and miss you all!
p.s. woke up to 3 inches of snow this morning. Winter is here. :(
Happy Fall Time, Burke LOVES pumpkins!! Or as he says "pumins"
Sam couldn't miss out on the fun. :)
Burke and I finger painted. He decided to do 2 paintings and also paint his body, oh and of course taste it too!
Happy Halloween!! Stu and I were X-ray techs and Sam and Burke were our little skeletons.
I took the boys to Ruthie's house a few days ago to take some pictures. We got a few winners. :)
I don't know if you can see the blue on Burke's lips or not. We were bribing him with M&M's to get him to lay down with his brother. :)
