Brothers

I really can't even get enough of these two little boys. They are SO cute and SO fun!! Corbin absolutely loves watching his big brother and lights up when he sees him. Colton went through a little stage when he didn't want much to do with Corbin but wanted to know where he was at all times. Now, he will lay on the floor with him and show him how to roll...even though he already knows. Ha! Then Colton will clap when Corbin rolls over. They also both love it when we make Corbin fly and "get" Colton. They both crack up! It's so funny!!! They are so cute together and it makes me so excited for them to grow up together and be the best of friends.

We recently got our double stroller. So of course, we had to test it out once it was put together. The weather was yucky, so we did a test drive in the house. (Colton just woke up from a nap, which is why he only has his diaper on). Colton wanted to make sure his brother was next to him. I can't wait until the weather gets nicer and we can go on walks, to the zoo, science museum, etc.

Here we go with another round of winter weather!! We stocked up on food today...just like the rest of Oklahoma did! Lets see if it actually brings what they're predicting.

Cuties

I just love our two boys so much! Of course I'm going to say this, but I think they are the CUTEST little guys ever!!!! Here's a couple pictures I've taken in the past couple days...

I like these pictures because they do a good job of showing how these two really are...Corbin is ALWAYS smiling, Colton is good at making funny faces, Corbin's hair is out of control a majority of the time and Colton loves to drive his car. Enjoy!

4 months

Yesterday, Corbin turned 4 months. Today we had his 4 month check up. Which also meant shots. I hate it when they have to get shots!! But here's the break down of Corbin:

Weight: 15.1 lbs
Height: 25 inches
Diapers: size 2
Clothes: still in 3 month. 3-6 is a tad too big on him
Eating: still nursing, although its stressful sometimes. Bottle feeding is sometimes easier, but I'm sticking with it. For a couple weeks, he was eating every 2-2.5 hours, which was like having a newborn again. Now he's back at 3-4 hours.
Sleep: 11 broken hours at night, hour-hour 1/2 naps 3-4 times a day and little cat naps between.
Misc: he talks ALL the time and is SO loud!! It's hilarious! He is seriously smiling all the time. He's an extremely happy baby. He's rolling from stomach to back. Likes to stand up with us holding him. Sits well on our laps. He loves to be held facing out so he can see what's going on. He's grabbing at his toys while on his play mat or if we hold a toy in front of him. He likes to hold one of my fingers as he's going to sleep, which I love! He sits in his bumbo while we eat meals at the table, while I'm getting ready, or doing stuff in the kitchen. And laughing...oh my goodness, it is so sweet!!! I love when he belly laughs and squeals! It's great!!

I like to compare height/weight between Colton and Corbin. Except for when Corbin was born, Colton has weighed more than him at all of the appts. For Colton's 4 month appt, he weighed 16.3, but their length was the exact same.

Corbin loves to watch his big brother. And he always smiles or laughs when Colton cries. Haha! I'm sure there will be more of that as they get older. Colton seems more used to Corbin as if he's always been here.

It seems as though we've always had 2 kids. It's hard to remember what it was like without Corbin. They are both such a blessing and I love every minute I get to spend with them. They're both growing so fast! I'm so incredibly thankful to be able to stay home with them, even if some days I want to pull my hair out. I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Here's a couple pictures of our 4 month old...one is of his chunky legs. So funny and cute!

Snow day

Well in typical Oklahoma fashion...we were at the park a few days ago playing and today it's snowing. Go figure! The boys and I woke up to rain then it quickly turned into snow. Huge flakes! So we watched Peter Pan, ate lunch, painted and now both boys are down for naps. (I'm contemplating the same)

Breckenridge part 3

Sunday was pretty much just like Saturday. Everyone got up, went skiing, and my mom, Sami and I took the boys shopping. Colton was more comfortable in his surroundings, which was great!

After everyone got done skiing, we hurried to ride on the gondola. Oh my goodness...Colton's face lit up!! He absolutely LOVED it!!! Too bad we didn't do that Saturday too, but oh well. It was so pretty going on the gondola WAY up the mountain and seeing everything around. Gorgeous!!

We rode that until it closed then went back to our room. We made dinner, then Adam and I decided to pack up all of our stuff so we could leave really early the next morning. Seriously, packing for us and the kids is like taking our whole house. SO much stuff!!!

We got up Monday morning and were on the road by 5:15. We ended up making it home in 12 hours. Which was awesome with both kids! Yes, I sat between the car seats, a good part of the drive but I'm so glad we did it in one day.

All in all, it was a great trip and I hope we get to go back soon!!! The mountains were so beautiful!!

























Park day!

We have had some gorgeous weather lately!! Earlier this afternoon, we my mom and I decided to take the boys to the park.
We have to take advantage of this awesome weather in early February, while we can! Who knows when it will turn cold again. Although, the rest of this week looks pretty nice! Even Corbin loved his stroll outside. On our way back from the park, he decided to go to sleep.
