Cleanup

Liam loves to clean up. In fact, he does so unprompted. Here is a typical end of day view of how he arranges his cars / trucks etc for the night time.

12 Hours

Killian slept TWELVE HOURS the other night. And I'm really crossing my fingers for a repeat. He's a great sleeper, and has consistently been sleeping 8 hours at night from about 8 weeks old. However, since our boys go to bed early (6pm), eight hours only gets me until 2am when we need to refuel until we start the day at 5am. Tending to these timeslots leaves me chronically tired. Here's hoping we are having a breakthrough.

(no, they don't sleep together, but they do like to have some cuddle time when they wake up... Liam asks for the baby first thing).

Killian - 4 months

Killian has now hit his 4 month milestone, and with that a new set of stats. He weighs 16 1/2 pounds (90 percentile) and measures 27" long (>95 percentile). He's rolling over regularly, and now seems to prefer laying on his tummy versus his back. His fingers are getting very nimble, and while he can already remove his pacifier from his mouth we are eagerly looking forward to him replacing it himself too!

Double Stroller

We now own THREE strollers! The boys seem to be enjoying the new double stroller, and Liam leans over to check on baby brother when we're out for a stroll. Our outdoor excursions were pretty limited to what Liam could walk to (and toddlers walk VERY slowly as they are so busy exploring everything along the way) , so now we have more flexibility on our journeys.

Happy Halloween! (a little late)

Whew, what a busy few weeks it has been. I've returned to work after my maternity leave and have been readjusting to my job outside the home. I've also had some computer issues that I'm still resolving, but there is a real backlog of photos I still need to get through. So, to bridge the gap from my last entry to now, here are a few photos from Halloween. Liam LOVED being a fireman and wearing his costume (a rain slicker and boots so that he can continue to wear it). He enjoyed his first trick-or-treat and the look on his face when we saw he could ask for chocolate and receive it was priceless. His friend (also named) Liam, also dressed up as a fireman, and the two got busy exploring the neighborhood together.
