Life with two boys =

Tired parents…

I can’t believe how long its been since we last put up a post … apparently Chris handed the responsibility back to me but didn’t tell me… :)

We went to the Dr on Wednesday for Garysons 1 month and Logans two year apt’s – I can’t believe he is that old- WOW!!! anyway, all is great- they are both in the 50th percentile for everything- I thought Gray looked huge so I expected him to be in the 90th but he is gaining weight at the correct speed and believe me I don’t think we are going to have any problem feeding this one- he LOVES to eat ;)

Logan Celebrated his 2nd birthday last Saturday- He looks huge to me now- He got tubes in his ears on Feb. 27th and he seems to be hearing better (well, I think he is, but I am the type of person if I take medication I see results even if they aren’t there;)) so who knows- He is saying more words, responding to me better- there is a lot less yelling in our house now- it makes me feel like a better mom ;)

People keep asking how Logan is adjusting to Grayson, and I keep saying, just fine- he ignores him ;) Logan has been throwing more fits- I call them attention fits- he is just testing the boundaries and wanting some love and attention- even if its negative attention- so we were ignoring it for a while, but that didn’t work so now hes doing time outs, and they are slowing down- I am also trying to just play with him with out grayson in my arms, that way, he gets all my attention- it only lasts for a few minutes cause Grayson LOVES to be held- it is getting better but he sure does like to snuggle…

Grayson is a pretty good sleeper- we are usually up once a night then at 7:30 or so for good- the other night I kept pushing off feeding him until he went 7 hours- so i know he can do it, we were up a few times putting the binky back in but at least I got ALMOST 7 straight hours of sleep- it was wonderful!!!

Logans sleeping habits have also been a bit strange- we put him to bed at 9 and he talks contently to himself or his “doggie” as he calls it until 12 some times later- then sleeps until 10 or so in the morning- not a problem on the days we stay home, but a big problem on the days we need to be some where at a normal time ;) So I tried to switch him up the other day and skip the nap- put him to bed at 8-8:30 – he feel asleep right away, but was up two hours later- HE TOOK A NAP AT 8 PM!!!! He was up til 1 or so when I finally gave up and went to bed with him still awake- he was miserable the next day so we are NEVER doing that again- hes been sleeping great otherwise- we hardly ever have to get up with him- so that is nice ;)

Life with two boys is so amazing- I’m so thankful for the way God blessed us!!!
