TWO and a HALF


TWO and a HALF.

 

I know I start basically every post about my kids growing up with the same thing…but it cannot be overstated…WHY do they have to grow up so fast?  I want to freeze time right now and make this stage last at least two years.  Two and a half is my favorite age EVER.  EVER. EVER.  The tantrums haven’t kicked in yet (at least with my kids they don’t start until more age 3) and the sweetness is at an all-time high!  These boys melt my heart daily, I absolutely LOVE hearing them talk to each other and to me.. it is seriously the cutest thing ever.  (yes, I’m biased…)  But, gahhh y’all…. This is it for me…no more babies and I am having SUCH  a hard time letting go.  I cherish every minute they want to snuggle with me and kiss me and still want mama to do things for them.  These boys absolutely light up my life, I cannot believe they are already two and a half. 

 

They are both talking nonstop, but Thomas seriously doesn’t shut up sometimes.  He will legit talk the WHOLE way home from Weezie’s, it cracks me up.  Graham talks just as well, he just doesn’t have quite as much to say as Thomas.  ;-)  They will 100% fight over toys and hit each other, but they also play so, so well together and help each other out.  We are working on sharing and they get so proud when they share with each other ….they come running up to me and say “ I share mama!” …especially Thomas, Graham’s is a little stingier with sharing still!  They both LOVE being outside and could stay out there for hours.  Graham is much more apt to stay at the same thing for longer periods of time, whereas Thomas will bounce around from toy/activity to the next quite often. Graham also tends to pal around with big sister more than Thomas does…  Thomas is definitely our independent child, while he will play with Graham and C… you will just as easily find him off doing his own thing.  

 

Graham is still the picky eater and Thomas will eat almost anything…  that may have something to do with the consistent 3 pound difference?   They love to brush their teeth, read books, play with their train sets, and watch movies (especially the Grinch).  They are still sleeping amazing, it was around this age when we started having issues with Collins, (but that’s also the age she was when her brothers were born and we moved houses…so maybe that had more to do with it)… I pray the boys continue sleeping all night.  They generally go to bed around 8:30 and sleep until 7:30, and are always happy in the morning!  They also still nap about 2-2.5 hours every day.

 

These boys are wild, and are constantly tearing my house apart, but I wouldn’t change it for the world.  My couch cushions are almost always on the floor because of them and there is sure to be crumbs under the dinner table every night… but goodness gracious do I love these two.  They are silly, sweet, wild, and perfect.

Takeover Tuesday

Surprise Caro, guess who hacked into your blog! I know what you are saying to yourself...I can’t believe it’s taken this long for me to mess with you on here. For those of you who haven’t figured it out yet, this obviously is not your sweet Caroline, this is her wonderful, sarcastic, fun loving, baby daddy (or is it babies’ daddy now?), also known as her husband. (Caro at her finest, throwing me a great 25th birthday celebration) Where do I begin…. I guess we can talk about how this marital bliss came to be before we talk about the author of this blog and how amazing she. Caroline has been the love of my life for as long as I can remember, we were actually first grade boyfriend and girlfriend if you can believe it. After first grade, there was the great divide, as both of us went to different schools the following year. Finally, after 10 agonizing, lonely years we were reunited at a house party our senior year in high school. I, naturally, had always kept an eye on her throughou...

What's in a name?

I tell ya, the name game is HARD. Really hard. I never thought that I'd be 27 years old and pregnant and not know what I wanted to name my child. I *think* we have come up with the one , but I'm not quite ready to put it out for the world to see...you know, don't want to many people rushing to get monogrammed bubbles. Ha! Jokes! Anyways...so I can look back and remember what all we went thru to come up with a name in 20 years I am going to lay it all out there. I'll start with saying I want a family name to be somewhere in my children's names. It doesn't have to be a first name, but some name in the child's name I want to be from a family member/family. We'll start with boys names, because they got taken off the table when we found out it was a GIRL..this will be short. Mikey's middle name is Thomas...his grandfather's name is Thomas. So...we always said Thomas would be in our son's name. I always thought it would be cool to do a Tho...

My Pinterest inspired master bedroom makeover part one.

The BEFORE pictures. I've been itching to re-do my master bedroom for quite some time now. I am one of those people that likes to re decorate quite often...unfortunately for my bank account. Mikey's mom bought him a full queen sized bedroom suite when he graduated college, which was wonderful. It is very nice furniture and has served us well. But, I am SOOO sick of all the dark matchy-matchy look it brings. I will use this furniture again in a guest bedroom one day...but for now, it's time to retire it from my master. All of my bedding and rug I had previously...I've now had this zebra/brown/green theme for almost 4 years...so over it! Fortunately for us...my brother and SIL got a new bed...so what do we get?? Their old KING size bed!! Woohoo. I do NOT like for people to touch me when I sleep, I need my space...I've been wanting a king for so long. Even though our room isn't the biggest the king is working out okay...we aren't going to be in this h...
