and just like that…

March 15, 2013

he sleeps through the night!  One night he didn’t, the next night he did…and has ever since!  Spencer has been sleeping from about 8pm to 7am for the past week.  yay!  I feel like I can finally say it out loud without jinxing it!   I think the turning point was when he finally mastered the ability to flop onto his belly.  He’s so much more comfortable sleeping on his stomach and just sleeps…well…like a baby!  🙂  He’s also mastered crib napping.  He’ll sleep for a good 2 hours in his crib every morning which is fantastic.  We’re still putting him in the swing in the living room for his afternoon nap mainly to keep him separated from Maxwell.  Their bedrooms are right next to each other and we don’t want them waking each other up.  Overall, he’s doing so great at sleeping.  Go Spencey!

I do think Spencer is going to end up with Robert’s seasonal allergies though.  Since it’s been pretty weather this past week and we’ve been hanging out outside more, Spencer has been waking up with a snot covered nose and lots of congestion.  Poor guy!  How young is too young to give a Claritin?!

I promised some pictures of Spencer today so here you go…my little blue eyed baby boy!

His hair looks really dark in these but, in person, it’s really light and still looking light he might have some shades of red!  🙂

He’s still just as smiley and as happy a baby as can be.  I love this squishy little boy!

Have a GREAT weekend!  We’ve got highs in the 70s for Saturday!  woo-hoo!

Would love to hear from you! 4 Comments

Dig Dig Diggy

March 14, 2013

More pictures of Maxwell digging in the sand table.  Yea, get used to it.  Now that spring has sprung this is where we will be spending a lot of our afternoons!

Spencer was there too.  More pictures of him to come tomorrow!

One little thing I want to remember – when I dropped Maxwell off at school yesterday, the PEP teacher (it’s like PE – physical education) walked by and commented how good Maxwell was at PEP.  She also said he always loves to participate and if she can get Maxwell going, the others will always follow!  My sweet bud – a natural athlete and a born leader!!  🙂

Dapper dudes

March 13, 2013

My dapper dudes all dressed and ready for church on Sunday!

Yes, his pants are a little short.  I just can’t keep up with this growing boy!  Although, isn’t it high fashion to wear your pants a little short so you can show off your socks and shoes?!  ha!

Loving this picture of 2 of my 3 handsome boys!

See you tomorrow!

Lazy days in the yard

March 12, 2013

Just some more pictures from this past weekend.  Even though the grass still looks like winter, it was a beautiful spring day!  Perfect to hang out in the yard!

Love these next two pics…

Sweet brothers…

Maxwell wouldn’t stand still long enough for me to take his picture, but Spencer doesn’t have a choice yet!

cute…

cuter…

cutest!

I then did manage to snap a picture of Maxwell on the steps…and this is the face I got!

Silly boy!

Loving this weather!!

Spring Fling

March 11, 2013

What a BEAUTIFUL weekend we had!  It was a little flirt with spring!  I don’t know if these nice temps are here to stay but, man, I’m going to enjoy them while they’re here!  On top of the nice weather, we had GJ and Daddo in town!  Can’t beat that!!

The weekend started off Saturday morning with some snuggles in bed…

and then we met up with GJ for a trip to Home Depot to get more “yellow dirt” for Maxwell’s sand table.

Home Depot always provides entertainment.  Who knew a guy using a saw could be so exciting?!

We then got home and put together a little project.  Maxwell was a big help…

Our completed masterpiece!!  Tada!

Al fresco dining now available at the Brown house!  🙂

This next picture just makes me laugh…

I have no idea what they’re all looking at on the ipad but even Spencer is into it and they crack me up all sitting on that little bench together!

Maxwell was outside just about all weekend long playing, playing, playing…

Spencer got plenty of fresh air too…

and some good snugs from Daddo!

That night, GJ and Daddo nicely stayed at the house while Robert and I went out to eat.  Spencer, who is always dead asleep by 8:00 and never wakes up until much later in the night, decided he didn’t want to go to sleep that night.  I finally put him in his bed still awake when we left for dinner at 8:15 and when we came home at 10:15, he was still awake!  GJ said he was just as wide awake and wiggly as could be!  I guess he knew that his only chance to play with GJ was when Maxwell was asleep so he wanted to take full advantage!  I was finally able to get him settled down and snoozing at about 10:30…

Unfortunately, he didn’t sleep great.  He keeps rolling onto his belly and then wakes up crying because he can’t flip himself back over.  We’ve stopped going in to roll him back though because he will eventually either flip back over or go to sleep on his belly.  I think he woke up 3 different times between 5:00 and 8:00 am on Sunday morning.  Not fun.  But, it was nice that everyone slept until 8:00 with daylight savings time!

On Sunday, Maxwell and Robert went to church…

My handsome boys!

The rest of the afternoon was spent outside enjoying the longer daylight and blowing bubbles!

Maxwell even thought baby brother needed some bubbles on him!

What a great weekend all around!!  I’m officially ready for spring!
