BIG Boy

Ryan had his 4 week check-up today. We have a BIG boy on our hands. He weighs 11 lbs, 6 oz (90th %)! He is 21.5 inches tall (50-75th %.) I knew he was getting big because he's almost outgrowing size 1 diapers. That and his double chin and chubby legs. :-) At 4 weeks, Jackson weighed 8 lbs., 4 oz.



Now for a few pictures...



Jackson enjoys playing with all of Ryan's "toys."





Our neighbor gave Ryan this precious diaper cover. She incorporated Aggie and UT colors.






Are you missing anything? If so, I suggest you check Jackson's dump truck and/or his cars that have storage under the seat. Here's what I've found in these hiding places: kitchen utensils, my watch, my telephone, trash, a nursing pad, all sorts of his toys, dead worms, dirty diapers, small books, shoes, my ChapStick, socks, cups, leaves, rocks, food, and much much more!

Ryan, Jackson, and I went to ladies Bible study at church last week. It's on Tuesday mornings and they provide child care. I'm really looking forward to getting back into a study this year. I'm just hoping I'm able to keep up! I had Ryan with me so I'm not sure exactly how much I heard but I'm sure I took something away, right? :-)

Here is a picture of what happens when you are nursing and you ask your two year old to bring you a little piece of toilet paper to wipe his nose.

Ryan loves the bouncy seat as much as Jackson did. If he's super fussy and can't sleep we can usually get him to calm down with a pacifier in the bouncy seat. And by the way, thank goodness for pacifiers. Sometimes it really helps to calm Ryan. I knew we were missing out with Jackson but didn't realize how much.

We took our first walk in the double jogger this morning since both boys were up early. It's still a little hot. I'm SOOOO looking forward to fall walking weather!

Last time my sister visited she brought some homemade granola. I asked her to send the recipe and we made some yesterday. YUM! I'm trying to venture out and make more homemade things these days. I know it's good to get away from all of the boxed foods. I've recently made several types of homemade muffins, pancakes, and now granola. All things I used to make from a box. I think I'm going to ask for a bread maker for Christmas and start trying to make homemade bread. I'm also going to try homemade baby food once Ryan is a little bigger.

Ryan continues to be a pretty easy baby but we are having our fair share of sleep problems. He sometimes really struggles to fall asleep and gets pretty fussy. I know that's normal for this age though.

We are finally starting to settle into a routine and it's getting easier to get out with both boys. Jackson is enjoying school and seems to be doing well. Ryan is super easy to run errands with right now so that's how we spend our mornings while Jackson is at school.

That's all for now. I'm going to try to close my eyes for sec while both boys are asleep. Ryan will wake any second so I better hurry!!!
