Fisher is 22 Months Old!

Yes, I know he's still wearing a long sleeved onsie, but it's the only one he has that fits, and I'm not buying a new one for once a month pictures :)

showing off his booboo

*Fisher weighs 24ish lbs (I'm guessing).

*He wears cloth diapers (size 4 in a disposable) and 12-18 month outfits. He wears a size 5 shoe.

* He still has a great appetite. His current favorite foods are yogurt, grapes, and strawberries.

*He still loves reading books all of the time.

* He is drinking water and milk during the day, but mostly water.
* He goes to bed between 900 and 930, and wakes up around 800-900in the morning..

* He is fighting naps so badly right now! He will nap in the car, but on days when we're at home, he will sometimes take up to an hour to fall asleep! He is not ready to give up naps, as evidenced by his evening meltdowns if he doesn't have one :)

*New words that I can remember slide, wheelie, jump, window, flowers ("fowlers"), goodness, oh my, sir/mam (not always in the right context), boo boo, bless you, outfit, climbing. He is such a parrot right now-repeating everything!

*He is learning his colors and letters. He likes to call everything yellow (lellow). And his ABCs usually go "a, b, c, f".

*He is becoming a very polite little boy. He will say please and thank you very consistently and in the right context. He will say you're welcome (really just welcome) but not all of the time. He will also shake your hand.

*He loves, loves, loves his monster trucks. That, and being outside are his current favorites.

*He loves to hold his brother! "Hold it" as he says when he wants to hold Sullivan. He is also very concerned when Sullivan cries, gets his diaper changes, or is eating (he says "feed Sully").

*Lovie ("Lully") is still very much a constant attachment, and so is his thumb in his mouth when he's tired.
*He now knows his elbows, booty, armpits, chin, knees, etc.

*Still loves taking a shower.

*Nicknames: Fishy, Bubba, Bubby, Baby, Buddy, Bug, love

Outside Fun

It's been a windows and doors open, play outside while brother's napping kind of day (and weekend) for us. Loving this amazing weather!! Hating all the pollen, though...


















Oh, and we've been building towers and pretending to be a baby again, too :)

Sullivan is One Month Old!

* Sullivan weighs 7 pounds, 10 oz, is 20 1/2 inches long, and has a head circumference of 14 inches (10th percentile).
* He wears newborn cloth diapers (size newborn in disposables) and size newborn clothing.
* He loves to be swaddled and has decided that he likes being in the swing.
* He nurses all the time-anywhere from every 30 minutes to every 3 hours; it just depends on how hungry he is :)
* His longest stretch of sleep has been 5 (!) hours at night. That was an anomaly-normally he will go from 2-3 hours between feedings at night.
*He tolerates getting a bath-he doesn't love it but he doesn't seem to hate it either.
* His schedule consists of eating, sleeping, and going to the bathroom-he can even do all three at once!
* He is loved by his big brother!
* Nicknames: Sully, Brother, Bug

Sullivan's One Month Checkup

It's hard to believe that Sullivan is already a month old! Yesterday we saw Dr. Catherine for his one month checkup. Everything looked great!

He is in the 10th percentile for all of his measurements-height, weight, and head circumference. He may be little, but he is growing! He's gained 20 oz in two weeks, and has grown an inch and a half since birth.

Dr. Catherine was also very impressed with his head control.
He didn't have any head lag when she was checking his reflexes. He's a strong little boy!




















Big brother waiting patiently :)

Ummmm

I don't have a creative title today. :) We just finished a major overhaul of our front flowerbeds. I didn't take a before picture, but it looks so much better! It was a long and tiring Saturday, but we couldn't have asked for better weather.

The boys have both been under the weather this week, but we've still had fun playing (Fisher) and eating (Sullivan).

Here are some pictures of our week!

Craft time!

Everything Easter

Last week we took Fisher and Asher to see the Easter bunny. Sullivan stayed in the car with Daddy. The boys did great! After our Santa experience at Christmas, we were a little worried that they would freak out about a giant bunny, but we were worried for nothing! While they weren't overly excited about the Easter bunny, they did sit in his lap and stare at him. No smiles, but no tears either. :)

We were planning on participating in our church's Easter egg hunt, but the weather was dreary and Fisher came down with a runny nose and cough. We did have fun practicing finding eggs at home, though! Sunday, Fisher had a fever, so we had our Easter celebration at home. We hadn't been planning on going to church because Sullivan is still too young, but it was hard not to be with family for an Easter celebration. I did get Fisher dressed up for some pictures, though, and he enjoyed his Easter basket. Sullivan was not impressed with anything. :)

 

Fishy got Toms, a new toothbrush, silverware, books, bath toys, finger paints, a wooden garbage truck, and monster trucks

Sullivan got clothes, wooden animal toys, a stuffed bunny, a book, bath towel, bottle labels, and a teether
