Adventures of The Sweeties: March 2009

Five Weeks!

Hard to believe that Sam is over a month old already. He has still been a very good little baby. We have not had any uncontrollable crying and he is getting cuter everyday. At night he still wakes up way too frequently but he doesn't cry, just starts fussing until I feed him then he goes back to sleep or just hangs out and is awake.
Jeff has still been able to stay home in the mornings so I have been able to get a little extra sleep. Pretty amazing that I still have not had an entire day that I have been home alone with the boys yet- I feel very lucky!! Plus the moms group that I belong to has been bringing us home cooked meals. We just got our last one this weekend but I think we got approx. 15 meals total which I am incredibly thankful for!! It is so nice to have such a great group of moms around for support!! Not to mention all the gifts we have been recieved from friends and family, it is a wonderful time for us.
Here are a few random pictures of Sam from the last few weeks. I do have to admit that he has definately been getting less camera time than the first born. Sorry Sam!!

Keeping Busy

Wyatt has been keeping himself pretty busy while Mama and Papa have been napping or taking care of his little brother.

One of his favorite past times is trying on Mama's underwear...

Sometimes on the bottom, sometimes on the top.

Think he is embarrassed now, just wait until I show these to his first girlfriend!!

He has also been taking care of his baby..Maybe Jeff needs to spend more time with his son doing "man" stuff :)

Hiding in the tunnel is aways fun.

Playing with Kieran made an impression on Wyatt. This was almost a month ago and for some reason practically everytime I lay Wyatt down for bed he says, "Wyatt did share with Kieran"

Wyatt is such a good helper now. He loves to help Mama feed the goats their hay. Notice the nice new hat from Carolyn :)

The cardboard box airplane I made for him months ago is still a hit.

And, yes, we sill have enough snow to make snow angels, but it should be going away anytime now.....we hope.

Name that Baby!

I was looking back through some pictures of Wyatt when he was a baby and was able to reliplicate the photos with Sam at the same age (3 weeks). Take a guess, Sam or Wyatt?

#1.

#7. Okay, I will give you a hint for this one :)

Answers: #1 Sam, #2 Wyatt, #3 Wyatt. #4 Sam, #5 Wyatt, #6 Sam and #7 Sam.

How did you do? Needless to say the boys look like brothers!!

Waytt sure had grown! He has a lot to teach his Baby Brother.

Like where your eyes are....

How to kick a ball....

and how to laugh.

Hot Springs and Cold Parks

Most of Gramma's visit was spent reading books or playing on the couch with Wyatt but we did get her out to see some sights. We made the long trek up to Chena Hotsprings- I think Gramma said "are we there yet" more often than Wyatt did!! But the soak in the springs was worth the long drive.

After the Hot Springs we headed into Fairbanks to the Ice Park. Wyatt loved the kids park with all the slides.

Sam slept through the whole thing and didn't even notice that he went down a slide made of ice with Mama.

Snow machines and airplanes... two of Wyatt's favorite things!!

Gramma was starting to get a little cold and wasn't too excited about sitting in her ice chair :)

The ice carvings were absolutely amazing!!

Mama really wanted to go down the big kid slides but due to cold noses and toes we had to call it a night.

Looking back we really should have done this in reverse, would have made more sense to soak in the Hot Springs after the Ice Park. Next year we will know better.

Thanks to Gramma Sherry for all her help!! Come back soon.

Visit with Gramma Sherry

Gramma Sherry braved the winter weather to come up and meet her newest grandson. We had a great visit, I am super thankful to have had the help in those early weeks. It is really nice to lay down for a nap and wake up to have the house clean, laundry folded and lunch on the table!! Plus Wyatt really enjoyed the extra Gramma attention.
