Lots of pics to share!

So I'm a little behind on blogging, and I'm not sure I'll ever be able to stay caught up again!  There's not much spare time with two little ones! :)  But I did want to share some pictures of the last week and a half!  

 Lunch date with Stephanie and Grace last Monday for my birthday!

 HEB trip with little one!

 Picnic lunch outside with my big boy!

 And nap time peace and quiet with my little one!

 Ready for school!

 My boys!

 We tried out a new to us park by the library one afternoon...it was great!  Lots of shade and fun things to climb on that were just Graham's size!

 Walking to the park to play and picnic with friends on Thursday!

 Such sweet friends!  We love playing with Libby and Nora!

 Trent had a work dinner on Thursday night so it was my first time to do baths and bed by myself - we survived with no major meltdowns, and this was my reward!

 He's looking so big and loving some good awake time now!

 We tried out the new playground at the mall on Friday, and we LOVED it!

 My cute lunch date!

 Family date night at Escalantes on Friday night!  It was my first full week alone with both boys during the day, we all survived, so we had lots to celebrate! :)

 Oh that face and those cheeks!

 Painting a pumpkin at Grace's birthday party on Saturday!

 And loving the cupcakes!

So thankful for these two sweet friends of mine!

 Bennett slept through Sunday School and church!  We enjoyed the service from the cry room.

 Carving a pumpkin on Sunday evening - Graham was NOT fan of the inside yuckiness!

 He didn't want to take a picture with the carved pumpkin but insisted on taking one with all of the other pumpkins on our porch!

 Little brother!

 Waiting for Daddy to get home from work on Tuesday evening!

My view this morning - enjoying some quiet time with Bennett, making lists to get ready to travel this weekend, and enjoying some one-on-one time with B while Graham is at school!

So peaceful!

Bennett at 1 Month Old

A month already with our sweet Bennett!  

 Bennett weighs almost 10 pounds, has TONS of dark hair with a tint of auburn, slate gray eyes, and is very long!  We don't go back to the dr. for another month so I will get his official stats then.  He definitely looks more like me and nothing like Graham's baby pictures!

 This boy likes to eat.  He eats every 3 hours on the dot, like clockwork.  He eats at 1, 4, 7, and 10.  Sometimes he needs an extra few ounces in the afternoon or evening to get him through.  He eats 4 ounces at every feeding.  I'm hoping he starts going for a little bit longer stretches at night - hopefully soon! :)

Bennett is mostly a very happy, content baby as long as his tummy is full! :)  Of course he has his fussy evenings - I wish we could just skip the hours of 5-7pm sometimes!  He is wearing 0-3 month clothes, and the newborn sizes are already getting too small.  He's in size 1 diapers.

He sleeps in the rock-n-play in our room.  His naps during the day are in the nap nanny or swing sometimes, but he mostly prefers being held!  

Likes: pacifier, being outside, rocking, lights, white noise app on my phone, being held, eating, getting his diaper changed

Dislikes: baths, being hungry (see above picture!), being swaddled

He's awake and alert so much more now!

First trip to Target!

 First trip to the zoo!

 Sweet big brother reading to him about trucks!

 All dressed up for his first morning at church today!

Picture Catch-up

I'm trying to get caught up!  Lots more pictures to share!

 Silly boy out to lunch one day when Trent's mom was in town!

 My big boy at school!

 My cute lunch dates!

 Big brother is always close by to help!

 Lots more awake time for sweet Bennett!

 My first full day by myself with the boys...we survived!

 Success = both boys napping at the same time! :)

 Enjoying a nice walk, and it was quite the workout pushing the double bob!

 Cheering for the Bears last Saturday!

 Enjoying the beautiful weather and watching football outside!

 My boys took me out to lunch on my birthday!  And that night Trent and I enjoyed a nice dinner out while Nana watched G and B!  It was such a treat!

 We enjoyed having Nana here while Trent had to go to California for work.

A fun play date at Grace's house with Anna!
