The boys and I have had quite the week this past week – but we made it through it and I’m so proud of us!
Cory & Bailey arrive home today from their week-long duck/pheasant hunting trip. It was the first time I had been with the boys overnight by myself and of course the longest Cory has gone without seeing the boys. We have really missed him and are so excited to see them both today! I really have to give a great, big “Thank You!!” to my sister and my parents – I could not have made it through the week without them. My sister stayed overnight with me at our house and helped me out with the overnight feedings during the week. (I can’t even begin to tell her how much that meant to me.) The boys and I also stayed overnight at my parents house over the weekend and both of my parents helped out with the boys a ton! My dad even got up for each of the overnight feedings to help out as well – so awesome. It was the boys’ first overnight trip away from home and they did great.
I also started back to work during this past week – two days part time and then back into full time. It was really bad timing with Cory being gone at the same time I had to go back to work, but I survived!
My husband has been the absolute best since the day the boys were born, (OK, actually since the day I found out I was pregnant!!) but his absence this past week has made me appreciate him and the team we are a hundred times more. He is definitely my other half and I couldn’t imagine going through this journey of live & children without him.
Both of the boys are becoming more aware of their surroundings and taking more interest in things moving around them. They will now try to follow you with their eyes if you are close to them and then move away or around them. They are even turning their heads and looking around a little bit more.
The boys also made their first piece of artwork last week. They finger painted pictures with their aunt, who is also their daycare provider, and cousin during the day on Friday. They turned out so cute!
Wyatt
I swear Wyatt’s looks change daily. He has been filling out so much more that I can’t believe how different he looks from his newborn pictures. He loved playing with the musical play gym at his grandpa & grandma’s this weekend and worked his arm muscles so much by using his fists to punch the little characters that hang down. He’d concentrate so hard before taking a swing.
Colton
Colton loves kicking. We have a fish-themed play gym at our house that he loves. It has a small beach ball near his feet and he is constantly kicking it and gets so excited when he does. Maybe we have a future pro-football field goal kicker on our hands??!!
