Weighing In

Kevin went for his two month appointment this week where he weighed in at 11 lbs 4 oz. He is 23" long and growing out of 0-3 month clothes. The day he turned two months old it was like a light bulb was turned on in his head. He could see, smile and attempt to grab for things. He's already able to roll over to his back from his stomach but now he's working the reverse! He gets to his side and cannot fully make the turn to his stomach. We hope he stays a baby longer than Nick did, but the odds are against us.

Some photos that Dad took.

We are holding onto those pretty blue eyes, knowing they won't last.

Last weekend Nick had a extremely fun one. One the his best friend Cole came over to play. The next day Nick (first from top) met up with his friend Ethan (second) and Cousin Max (bottom) at a "jumpy" place. Dad's are not allowed to jump, only kids.

On other days, Nick loves playing puzzles, cars and trains.

Kevin's Two Months Old

Last weekend we spent time with the Polzin side.

 Cousin Henry is very interested in Kevin.

As of the 4th he is 2 months old.

You didn't think we just got rid of Nick's monthly photo shoot clothes did you?

Those sheets were mine when I was his age.

Smiles

For weeks I've been telling you of Kevin's smiles, and for weeks I've been trying to capture them without much luck but here are a couple that I did get and that were huge smiles.

 

 

He still only sleeps in this swing or in our arms. He refuses to sleep anywhere else, trust me, we keep trying.

Last weekend the Bowman family spent some time with the Polzin family. The kids were having fun with Kevin.

Remember Wooby? He's on the right, Grandma Bowman gave him a new one (on the left)when Kevin was born. Nick won't give up the old one.

Nick and Daddy wrestling.

Our latest fun time together is playing "hide-n-seek" in the dark!

Like Clockwork

Every two hours, practically on the dot, Kevin wakes up crying wanting to be fed.
He's currently having trouble going to sleep at night, his eyes are wide open from 9:30pm - 11:30pm

Unlike Nick, Kevin doesn't mind getting his diaper changed, what a relief! He's also pretty relaxed when we give him a bath. He still grunts a lot when he sleeps.

Since he was sick Kevin he couldn't get his one month shot until he was 7 weeks old. He did, and while there he weighed in at 10 lb 3 oz. 

 

 Kevin was in the womb when planking was cool and really wanted to show off his skills. 

Nick is Nick again, after a few crackdowns and lessons, our polite little boy is back, with this listening ears (most of the time).

Cracking down

Kevin is finally getting over that bad cold, same with Nick. Mommy and Daddy were spared.

No I'm not holding Benjamin Button, that's Kevin and his hair line.

Nick is amazing with these puzzles! The big ones have 24 pieces.
He loves to play with them. He received them for Christmas, the box says 3+

Keep up the good work Nick!

Nick has developed some problems listening and patience. The crackdown has began to get him to understand and follow the importance of both!

Nick played with Declan the other day who had big boy Legos. Nick enjoyed those.

5 Weeks and Sick

Nick has been sick with various things even before Kevin was born. Now finally getting rid of those he sadly passed one of the colds with a bad cough onto his little bro. If we thought we thought we were sleep deprived before... Babies can only breathe out of their nose at this time so when that is stuffed up it makes for a scary event for baby and parent when their eyes get wide open gasping for air because their nose is so stuffed. 

Mommy and Daddy have been doing a great job of keeping him upright and cleaning out his nose. It got to the point that the doctor gave Kevin some antibiotics. With one night down, he seems to be doing better.

At Kevin's one month appointment Monday, he weighed in at 9lbs 2 oz. (Just about what Nick was born at, 9lb 4 oz.

Nick is great with his brother, here Nick is playing with Kevin's toys.

One month old photo of Kevin.

"It's my favorite" A common saying to anything that Nick likes. Pretty funny.

Kevin's Photoshoot

Not too long after Kevin was born, we went had a photoshoot done. Here are some of those photos:

Here are more even more - http://db.tt/7q8ZQmoM
 

Kevin rolled over from his stomach to his back this week. We are looking forward to when he can roll from his back to his stomach so that we can then put him on his stomach to sleep. He seems to like that sleep position best, and Doctors frown upon that position.

Climbing up on Daddy, singing loud Justin Bieber's song "Baby".
He has excellent balance, I didn't even help him up. He enjoys climbing on me often. But don't worry Moms, I'm prepared to catch any fall.
