I don't know where the days and weeks go?! They just fly by... wayyy too fast for me. I have to go back to work in two weeks... Reality is really setting in now and I'm not liking it one bit. I try not to think about it, but every time I squeeze my little man it's hard not to think that I am going to have to leave him here soon. Makes me feel a little (okay, a lot) panicky... I know he will be in very capable, loving, hands and that is the only thing getting me by. I think if I had to leave him with someone else I wouldn't be able to do it, but knowing Kayla (cousin) will be the one to watch him while I'm working makes it a little easier... he'll have fun "playing" with Kaydee Mae too... I'm sure it will get easier as I get back into the swing of things. I think the anticipation is always/usually the worst part.



Anyway, this past week we went to Ryan's cousin's house and showed him the house plan that Ryan had drawn up (a long time ago)... he is doing our drawings/blue prints for us. That was a fun step in the house process. The rest of the stuff we're doing right now isn't so fun! That's another stressful thing right now... not being real sure of where we are going between the time we have to be out of house (Memorial Day Weekend) and when we get our house built... We'll probably have to move in with my parents for a little while, but we're hoping to be able to put a trailer on our property for the rest of the time (but we have to get septic/electric/water done first before we could move it on there). I know I need to quit worrying about it b/c God has it all worked out already. It's just so much at once, moving, being homeless, building, going back to work, etc...



On a lighter note my mom, my cousin Brooke, Corbin, and I went to Edinburgh shopping on Friday. It was rainy and not very nice weather, but still fun. I found lots of stuff for the boys, not so much for me. I got a few things, but when you're not completely happy with a post baby body it doesn't make it a lot of fun to shop for yourself. I really need to workout more and get my stomach back in shape so I like myself in (well and out! haha) of clothes again.


Yesterday, we went to the Washington Park and met Sandy, to do the boys' pictures! (click the link to view). It was fun and she got some cute shots. I think C is at a hard stage to get pics of b/c he isn't a sleepy newborn, but he can't sit up or anything yet... but despite that she got some cute pictures and I'm thrilled with them! Brycen is so easy to get pictures of b/c his smile is so natural and big. He just cracks me up!


Last night our friends Chelsey & Ryan came to visit. We hardly get to see them anymore b/c of Ryan's (Chelsey's Ryan, not my Ryan, lol) work schedule. The last time we got to hang out with both of them was the beginning of Dec. so it was nice to visit with them for quite a long time last night. We just made spaghetti and hung out and visited. I miss that! We used to do that with them EVERY. WEEKEND. until Ryan H. got his new job.


This morning our stinkin' alarm didn't go off... think our electric went off during the night. It's supposed to have battery back up, but I am guessing the batteries are dead?! lol... so anyway, we didn't make it to church. C is still sleeping pretty much through the night. He goes to sleep between 9 and 10 and sleeps til around 5-5:30am. Such a good boy! We also had to move him up to size 2 diapers this week. I just can't believe he is already in size 2! We also had to move him up to 3-6 month clothes. He can still wear a few 0-3 outfits, but no 0-3 sleepers or onsies. Yikes, he is just growing sooo fast! His feet are so tiny though (b's always had little feet too). They are pudgy, but really short. I wanted to get him some cute brown sandles at Edinburgh the other day at the Carter's store and even the NEWBORN ones were too big! His feet looked huge when he was born, but I think it was just b/c the rest of him was so small... I don't think his feet have grown at all, lol! He has started making lots of noises "talking" to us in response to us talking to him. He also has laughed a few times, it's the most adorable noise! I just can't get enough of his little sounds. He is still a very good baby, only crying when he is hungry or has a dirty diaper. His favorite things right now are still laying on a blanket chillin', still loves his swing (when he is tired), and really into his bouncy seat right now (just discovered the toys this past week). He still loves his brother the most and gives him the biggest smiles. If B is running around playing and talking C is constantly turning his head trying to see him. B sings to C alllll the time and Corbin loves it. He has actually put him to sleep quite a few times by singing to him. MELT.MY.HEART!



Well, onto some pictures of my boys :)

Batting at his toys and smiling at them. He really likes them now and he also likes the music on his bouncy seat too. He just discovered the toys this week.

sitting on bubby's lap watching chuggington :)
they sat like this for a long time.
B still can't get enough of his lil' brother.
I realized when taking these pictures how big Corbin is really getting!

Big yawn!

He fell asleep on B's lap :) so sweet
