Since We've Been Home

Since we have been home,
We have been looking for things to keep "us" occupied so we don't go outside and catch Swine Flu.

Then, I decided a small case of Swine Flu might be better than cleaning up this!

Drew is a little more into taking pictures and now poses...probably because there is now another subject trying to take the spotlight. Drew has been a wonderful big brother and will often bring Harrison cars to "make you feel better" when crying. Harrison had his first bottle. It went over just fine, because this kid would NEVER turn down food. He now weighs in at 9lbs 9oz....that is a 30 oz gain in 18 days and about 2 times the growth rate of an average baby (so says the Dr.)
Oh yeah, she is still here too. Harrison had his first bath! This one needs baths 2x day! He is also in desperate need of a haircut! The weather has been crazy, but I am not complaining. A few 90 degree days in April kept us busy playing outside with the water table. Just try explaining why the next day when it is 55 in the morning that we can't go outside and play again.

Yup, still cute!
Drew loves to get super close to Harrison and ask "Harrison...whatcudoin?" (What are you doing)
Drew was napping and someone wanted to test out the chair. Being a second child myself, I condone this behavior.

We fit in a little tummy time when big brother is in bed..looking good so far!

I am having trouble finding the time to blog because someone wants to either eat or be held constantly! He is a pretty good baby, but he does have a pretty bad case of reflux that can really make for some grumpy periods. He is sleeping pretty well at night and we have enjoyed a few 5 hour stretches of sleep. Drew is doing really well with his baby brother. He is always concerned when he cries and is very gentle with him. His behavior is up and down, but I think he is starting to snap out of it.

I am still taking lots of pictures, and I promise I will share them eventually...just keep checking.

And I do keep checking! I can relate to the trying to find time to blog thing...wow can I ever! I have found that sometimes it is easiest if I bring the laptop into bed and do a little entry while watching tv with Jeff before nodding off. Come to think of it, I don't think I have ever blogged when they are awake...would be impossible. The boys are adorable and it seems that Drew is adjusting to his role like a champ.

Is that a boob bottle that Andy is using????
;)

Yes, that is the boob bottle..aka Adiri..I am not sure how I feel about it yet, but Harrison seemed to like it. We have some Born Free and BPA Free Avents as well, we will just see what sticks.
