Once upon a time, a Yankee girl and a Southern boy fell in love and started their own little family...chrisandabbiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00543773940086528549noreply@blogger.comBlogger264125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5099545524665072190.post-45398868027343702222016-11-16T08:47:00.000-08:002016-11-16T08:47:20.018-08:00I'm BACK!<div style="text-align: center;">
So, I'm not sure how long this will last but I want to start blogging again! Life is just so crazy but I know I will regret not writing things down. I guess the best way to do this is a family update...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hudson: He is 3.5 going on 15. There's no better word to describe him than strong-willed (I guess that's 2 words). He knows what he wants, when he wants it! We are still struggling with tantrums but they never last very long and ignoring is still the best option with him. I continue to be amazed at how smart Hudson is. He picks up on everything and is a little sponge. His memory blows me away sometimes! Hudson loves school and is learning so much. He has pretty much given up his nap which is bittersweet. On the one hand, he goes to bed really easily but at the same time, he goes to bed super early which is hard for me since I'm working full time. He STILL doesn't sleep through the night hardly ever which we can't quite figure out. Overall, he's a sweet, smart, affectionate 3 year old and I feel so blessed to be his Mommy!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Weston: I have a feeling little brother is going to grow up to be my wild child. He is absolutely fearless and wants to do everything his brother does! Weston continues to be a big boy too! He's wearing 24 month or 2T clothes at 18 months. He isn't nearly as verbal as Hudson was at this age but I try my best not to compare them. He does say a variety of words and seems to be learning new things daily. He completely understands everything we say to him so I'm not concerned. Weston, unlike his brother, is a great sleeper! It's rare that he's up in the middle of the night. He's still nursing 2-3 times a day and shows no signs of losing interest. I'm ok with this since I'm almost positive he's my last baby.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started working full time in August, teaching at Wake Forest. I love my position but it's been a big change of pace for our family. Chris has been awesome, picking up the pieces that I can't quite seem to juggle. He still has his landscaping company and is on the town council so he stays busy! He always teaches a Life Group on Wednesday evenings which has been a huge blessing. It's great to have a group of Christian friends to "do life with".</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope to blog on a more regular basis but for now...pictures!</div>

So life's a little crazy with two kiddos and this little 'ole blog has been neglected. So, I'll try to do a little bit of catch up!</div>

1. Mothers Day. We didn't do anything too exciting for Mother's Day. Church, lunch (I think? I'm having a hard time remembering...). But, here's the annual church Mother's Day picture:</div>

2. Hudson. He is just so fun right now. I love how he is learning new things so fast and his little mind just soaks up everything. He is still such a Momma's boy and I don't mind at all. We have so much fun together. He still has tantrums once in a while but for the most part he's pretty easy going. He has given up his nap for the most part except occasionally in the car but it makes bedtime so much easier so I'm ok with it. Today was his last day of the 2s class at preschool. He had such great teachers and a really great year! I have been extra emotional lately thinking about how fast my baby is growing up! </div>

3. Weston. My 13 month old is fiesty, active, and extremely strongwilled. He's super busy and not too keen on cuddling with Mommy. He continues to grow like a week and I get asked several times a week if my boys are twins! He's already wearing 24 month clothes and some 2T! He's not interested in walking but I think it's because crawling is just so fast! He's too busy to slow down and walk. He really is fearless...I'm afraid he's going to give me a run for my money as he gets older!</div>

Measurements: Weston is 25 lbs 13.5 oz (98th percentile) and 31 inches long (90th percentile). He is wearing 18-24 month clothes. He can even fit in some 2T things! His shoes are 4/5.</div>

Eats: He will eat just about anything! But, he has starting throwing his food on the floor when he's done. He LOVED his birthday cake! I probably let him eat way too much. He still nurses morning, night, and naptime. </div>

Measurements: No official measurements but I believe Weston is around 26 lbs or so. He's in 18-24 month clothes and size 5 diapers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: cambria; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px; text-align: center;">

Eats: Everything in sight! My boy LOVES to eat. He eats more than Hudson actually. He eats food as quick as I put it on his high chair tray. And he's not picky! Broccoli, quinoa, sweet potato, turkey burgers, black beans...honeslty, everything. He's still nursing some but not really that interested. I will let him wean himself but I think he will stop much earlier than Hudson did.</div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: cambria; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px; text-align: center;">

Sleeps: We are doing 2 naps a day- mid morning and late afternoon. He's pretty consistent with this and is a good napper. Most nights he sleeps through the night or has one early morning waking (between 4-5am). But, overall he's a good sleeper! <i>I didn't change this from 9 months or 10 months!</i></div>

Milestones: Weston is very mobile. He's crawling FAST and pulling up on everything. He climbs the stairs! He has 4, almost 5 teeth. He jibber jabbers all the time- mostly Dada of course ;)</div>

Likes: Weston still loves his big brother. He loves to chase him around and be chased. He loves to be tickled and swung up in the air. He's a happy boy!</div>

Big brother update: HUDSON IS POTTY TRAINED!! We had potty bootcamp over preschool spring break and he did great! Honestly, he was so ready and we have had very few accidents. He actually doesn't even wear a pull-up for nap or bed either. It's a relief to have at least one out of diapers! Hudson will be THREE this Friday. I believe that will deserve its own blog post ;)</div><div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: cambria; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: cambria; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-PJABfBtW6Oc/VwxHDPbGsVI/AAAAAAAADdY/bc_iun_go8o/s640/blogger-image--931194683.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-PJABfBtW6Oc/VwxHDPbGsVI/AAAAAAAADdY/bc_iun_go8o/s640/blogger-image--931194683.jpg"></a></div><br></div>

Measurements: We don't have any measurements this month and we have actually stayed away from the doctor's office (finally!). But, I do know that he's still a big boy ;) He's wearing 18 month clothes and even some 24 months and size 5 diaper still.</div>

Eats: There's nothing Weston hasn't tried and liked at this point. He loves to eat! I have stopped pureeing things since he has 4 teeth. I can honestly say that he will really eat anything. He isn't to interested in nursing anymore except to go to sleep. When I'm home I do try to nurse him at least a couple times throughout the day so he gets some liquid (he won't take a bottle or a sippy cup) but he's usually super distracted.</div>

Sleeps: We are doing 2 naps a day- mid morning and late afternoon. He's pretty consistent with this and is a good napper. Most nights he sleeps through the night or has one early morning waking (between 4-5am). But, overall he's a good sleeper! <i>I didn't change this from 9 months!</i></div>

Milestones: Weston is very mobile. He's crawling FAST and pulling up on everything. It won't surprise me if he tries climbing the stairs soon. He has 4 teeth!</div>

Likes: Weston loves his big brother. It's so fun to watch them play together. He loves to be kissed, tickled, and play peek a boo. He's at such a fun age and I love his big belly laugh when he thinks something is funny!</div>

Big brother update: Oh Hudson. He seriously has the sweetest heart. He tells me multiple times a day that he loves me, out of the blue. But he knows how to push my buttons. I have probably spoiled him a bit simply because some things just aren't worth the fight when I'm just so tired. But, I'm really trying hard to set boundaries and stick to them (like only one snack between meals, limit tv time, etc.) but it's oh so hard! Hudson is taking an interest in his baby brother and he tries to include him in his play time. I love seeing this and can't wait to see them grow up together!</div>

Measurements: 23 lbs 11 oz, 29.75 inches...big boy! Weston is in the 96th percentile for both height and weight and 4 lbs heavier and 2 inches longer than his big brother was at this age. It still amazes me just how different my two children are! He is still wearing 18 month clothes for the most part but he can squeeze into some 12 month stuff and also can wear some 24 month things (shirts and pjs mostly). He wears a size 5 diaper.</div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: cambria; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px; text-align: center;">

Eats: Weston loves solids but doesn't care too much about nursing anymore. He nurses well at night and naptime but any other time of the days it's a bit of a struggle to get him still long enough to want to nurse. I think he will wean easily around a year unlike Hudson who nursed until he was 20 months. Weston is eating anything and everything! He loves to feed himself so we are doing lots of things he can pick up- fruits/veggies, scrambled eggs, pancakes, beans, avocado, etc. Still haven't found anything he won't eat!</div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: cambria; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px; text-align: center;">

Milestones: The major milestone this month is that Weston is crawling! It's sort of an army crawl most of the time but he is able to get up on his knees and crawl if he's really motived ;) He's into everyhing too! Also, he is now the proud owner of a helmet ;) We first realized his head was flat around 4 months or so but our pediatrician wasn't too worried. We made the decision to have it checked out around 6 months but he was 7 months before they could get us in for an appointment. So, two weeks ago he actually got the helmet and is doing fine with it.</div>

Likes: Well, just like Hudson at this age, Weston really likes his mommy :) We are just starting the separation anxiety but I wouldn't say it's nearly as bad as Hudson ever was. But, if I'm in the room you better believe he wants me to be holding him or within a few feet of him.</div>

Big brother update: Hudson continues to be such a sweet boy with such a stubborn side. I had my first parent teacher conference at preschool this week and they went on and on about how sweet he was, what a good listener, how well he always followed directions...was this my child they were talking about?? Sweet yet, but not always the best listener at home. But, I'm sure I have spoiled him a bit so he doesn't always think he has to listen to Mommy. He's so smart and I love watching him learn new things. He amazes me with his vocabulary. Today, we went to the pool at the Y for the first time and he was so brave! He can be a little bit of a scaredy-cat sometimes but today he jumped off the side and even let go of me in the water with his puddle jumper on and tried to kick his feet. I am so proud of him but everyday I am reminded just how fast he is growing up!</div>

I have a lot of blog catching up to do but first things first...an 8 month post!</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px; text-align: center;">
Measurements: Well, we wouldn't normally have official measurements but since we have frequented the doctor this month I can safely say Weston is somewhere around 22.5-23 lbs and 28 inches long. He is wearing 12-18 month clothes and size 5 diapers. I know, I know...he's huge!</div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px; text-align: center;">
Eats: This boy LOVES food! I try to do three meals a day now because he is so interested but sometimes it's only 2. He has tried a whole lot at this point and hasn't disliked anything. Last week I introduced chick peas and beets not thinking he would love them but he gobbled both down! I'm honestly not sure how much he's getting when he nurses. I think mostly he nurses for comfort at this point. I worked a few days ago and he didn't drink even one ounce of the bottles I left and I was gone for almost 10 hours. I think he will wean himself earlier than Hudson. He isn't at all interested in a pacifier either but I'm not complaining about that.</div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px; text-align: center;">
Sleeps: Weston takes 2 consistent naps a day...the first about 2 hours after he wakes up and he second about 3 hours after he wakes up from the first. It's about 50/50 if he sleeps through the night or not. But if he does wake up in the middle of the night he's usually wide awake. He ends up in our bed sometimes but we did the same thing with Hudson. It may be a bad habit but it gets our kids to sleep!</div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px; text-align: center;">

Milestones: Weston has had his share of firsts this month...first case of RSV, first case of pink eye. Yuck! But, on a nicer note, he's "mobile"...he rolls everywhere. He has zero interest in crawling which is so funny because Hudson was crawling at 6 months and pulling up at this point. But, every kid is different!</div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px; text-align: center;">

Likes: This little man is so incredibly laid back and I'm so thankful for that. He really is an easy, happy baby. He still loves the bouncer, his brother, and has started to take an interest in our dog!</div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px; text-align: center;">

Dislikes: We started a little bit of separation anxiety this month. He doesn't love to be away from Mommy IF he knows I'm close. But, I think if I'm not physically there he's perfectly fine.</div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px; text-align: center;">

Big brother update: Oh Hudson. My first baby. He's so sweet, smart, funny, and loving. But at the same time he's so opinionated and stubborn. Someday it will serve him very well but right now it causes some hard moments. We haven't found a way of discipline that's entirely effective with him but we do try to be consistent and not make empty threats.</div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px; text-align: center;">
Hudson still loves school and does so well there. He's so smart...sometimes the things he says come out of nowhere and I have no idea where he learned it. He's a little sponge and he doesn't quickly forget things. For example, today Chris and I were having a conversation while Hudson was sitting near us playing. I used the word "moderation" in our conversation and Hudson stopped what he was doing, looked at me, and asked "Mommy, what is moderation?" He has such a curious mind. Chances are he will use the word moderation in a sentence in the next few days ;)</div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px; text-align: center;">

Measurements: No official measurements this month! But I get told at least once a day what a big boy he is so he's still growing like a weed! He has pretty much outgrown all his 9 month onesies and pajamas but can still fit in 9 month pants. But, most of his clothes are either 12 or 12-18 months right now.</div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px; text-align: center;">
Eats: Weston still nurses every 3-4 hours although he's getting hard to nurse. He's super distracted, especially if Hudson is around. He squirms, kicks, sometimes bites. I will nurse him until he turns a year but we will see past that. I feel like it's a wrestling match every time he needs to eat!</div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px; text-align: center;">
In terms of solids, we haven't found anything Weston doesn't like! He's tried a whole bunch of things now- avocado, banana, oatmeal, apple sauce, black beans, peas, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, etc. Basically anything we eat that I can mush up, he gets for dinner. </div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px; text-align: center;">

Sleeps: Not much change in his sleep patterns..for the most part he takes 2 naps a day although the past few days he has only take cat naps so he falls asleep around dinner time. Bedtime is between 7 and 7:30. He usually still falls asleep nursing (the one time he's actually calm nursing!) so I may need to break that habit soon. Normally he wakes up once a night although he's been teething so the past few nights it's been twice. I'm not going to lie, he does end up in our bed sometimes because I'm just too tired to try to get him back to sleep. Between his sleeping habits and Hudson's (see big brother update below) we are pretty exhausted around these parts!</div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px; text-align: center;">

Milestones: We have a tooth! A few weeks ago Weston got a bad cold and was pitiful. He was clingy, snotty, etc. On Thanksgiving Day he was pretty miserable. I figured it was because of the cold but my father in law insisted he thought it was teething. Well, sure enough, the next day we saw the tooth "slit"! It's now popped through but I'm pretty sure he's trying to cut the other bottom middle tooth as well. Weston has started sitting in both shopping carts and high chairs at restaurants. This is so helpful to me when we go places!</div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px; text-align: center;">

Likes: He still loves his big brother and I love to watch them interact. Weston loves to stand and still doesn't care much for laying down (although he's usually happy to sit). He enjoys his bouncer which is a big help when I'm trying to get things done!</div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px; text-align: center;">

Dislikes: Weston is pretty easy going. Obviously he has his fussy moments...when he's really tired or hungry. But, for the most part he's super content!</div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px; text-align: center;">

Big brother update: Where to begin with our sweet, funny, yet very strong willed child. Let's start with how he's NOT sleeping. Hudson's always been a terrible sleeper. But, he wakes more during the night than his baby brother. It isn't uncommon for him to wake up 3-4 times a night. Sometimes I can go lay him back down and he will fall asleep but usually he wants someone to lay with him. Chris is willing to do that so he usually ends up sleeping in Hudson's bed. I know it's a habit that needs to be broken but I feel like we are still in survival mode right now in terms of sleep. </div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px; text-align: center;">
Hudson still loves school and is learning so much. He says the funniest things and is a sponge when it comes to learning. He can tell his left from his right for the most part (unless he's really lucky in guessing every time we ask!). He still has zero interest in potty training but I figure he'll start when he's good and ready!</div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px; text-align: center;">

I'm so excited for the holidays with my little ones! We think Christmas is special when we are kids but I think it's even more special when you HAVE kids. Merry Christmas!</div>

The past 6 months have gone so fast. Weston continues to be such a joy. He's about as laid back as they come which I hope continues!<br>
<br>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px; text-align: center;">
Measurements: Weston weighed in yesterday at 20 lbs 10.5 oz (94th percentile). That's bigger than Hudson was at a year! Oh my. He's 27.8 inches long (91st percentile). He's outgrowing most 9 month clothes and is pretty comfortably in 12 months clothes. He has a few 18 month sleepers he can wear but most 18 month is still a bit too big. He's in size 4 diapers and a size 3 shoe!</div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px; text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px; text-align: center;">
Eats: No change in nursing...about every 3 hours or so. But, we started some solids this month. So far he has had avocado, banana, sweet potato, and oatmeal. He has liked it all!</div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px; text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px; text-align: center;">
Sleeps: We are pretty much down to 2 naps a day unless he takes super short afternoon nap. Then he will sometimes take an evening cat nap. But, he generally naps around 9am and then again after lunch which thankfully happens to be the same time as Hudson! Most nights he still wakes once but last night he slept all night! I'm hoping it continues but I'm thinking it's more likely only because he was so worn out from having his shots. But we will see what tonight brings!</div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px; text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px; text-align: center;">
Milestones: Weston is just about sitting up! He does still topple over some but he's pretty steady. He rolls everywhere but doesn't have any interest in trying to scoot crawl like Hudson was at this age.</div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px; text-align: center;">

Likes: Weston loves to sit and stand but isn't a fan on being laid on the floor. He continues to love his big brother. They have started to "play" together. Hudson will do peek-a-boo and Weston just cracks up. Since they face each other in the car, it's not uncommon to just hear them laughing back and forth.</div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px; text-align: center;">

Dislikes: Weston is pretty easy going. Obviously he has his fussy moments...when he's really tired or hungry. But, for the most part he's super content!</div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px; text-align: center;">

Big brother update: Hudson continues to love school. Yesterday on the way out the door he said "I love school! I get to see all my friends". It makes me so happy that he loves it and is learning so much. He amazes me at how smart he is and how much he picks up on. He knows quite a few of his letters (not the sounds though). He counts to 11 and then gets a little confused but we are working on it. He has been able to spell Hudson forever but now we are working on our last name. He loves to play outside and be active but he also loves to sit and watch cartoons.</div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px; text-align: center;">

Life has been a little crazy lately. Blogging has been put on the back burner but this is my 3rd blog post in as many days so maybe I can finally get caught up!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1) Chris is currently running for Clemmons Town Council. It's kept him really busy with meet and greets, forums, meetings, etc. But, I do think he's really enjoying the whole experience so I'm trying to be supportive! The election is November 3rd so things will calm down after that.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2) I have a lot going on in my work world lately. This is our busy season for Novant. I have worked 50 hours over the past two weeks. For full time working folks this doesn't sound like a lot but when I'm used to being home with my kiddos 85% of the time, it's a lot. Things will slow down in the middle of November but until then I'm working quite a bit. On another note, I have two other jobs lined up beginning in January. I am going to be doing some personal training at the Y on a very part-time basis. There's a lot of benefits to working for the Y and there's no absolute time commitment so that makes it nice. It will be flexible which we definitely need. Also, I am going to be an adjunct professor at Salem College. I may have a little too much on my plate but this was not an opportunity I could pass up. I interviewed at Salem College actually a few years ago and, while they didn't have any teaching positions open then, they have kept my resume on file. So, I got an out of the blue phone call a few weeks ago asking if I was interested in teaching their Introduction to Athletic Training class. It's just twice a week and after talking with Chris, we decided I should do it. I would love if it could turn into something full time down the road but we'll take it one semester at a time. I'll definitely have to find a good work/life balance starting in January because I can see how it would be easy for me to get wrapped up in work and forget that I am first and foremost a Mommy!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3) I love this time of year. We have so many fall festivals coming up...the first one is this afternoon when the boys wake up from their naps! I can't wait to post pictures of their costumes :) I decided to make both their costumes this year and am pleased with how they came out!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of course, I can't end any post without a few kid spam pictures!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

My boys are well seasoned travelers by now...at least from NC to Boston. We spent the first week of October visiting their Uncle Jamie. If you read this blog, there's a good chance you already know that my brother was in a serious car accident on August 19th. He's doing well now but we wanted to go and keep him company as he isn't cleared to walk yet so he's been pretty confined to the house. We had a great week spending time with him and other family as well. Here's some pictures from the trip...</div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px; text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px; text-align: center;">
Measurements: No well check this month but I can assure you Weston is a BIG boy! We did have to go to get Weston checked out when he had a bit of a cold and he weighed in at 19 lbs 7.5 oz. I have no idea how long he is but he is long! He is wearing mostly 9 month clothes but can wear 12 month too. He's in size 4 diapers already! </div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px; text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px; text-align: center;">
Eats: Obviously Weston is well fed ;) No solid food yet but we'll start soon! He still nurses pretty much on demand but it's usually about every 3 hours although he can go longer stretches if he needs.</div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px; text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px; text-align: center;">
Sleeps: Weston has gotten into a better nap schedule this past month. He takes 3 naps a day (unless he catches a cat nap in the car here and there). But it's generally a late morning, afternoon, and early evening nap. None are very long, usually about 45 minutes each. He has become a tummy sleeper at night so he's back to waking usually just once.</div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px; text-align: center;">
Milestones: We have a roller! If you put Weston on his back he will roll to his tummy in .2 seconds. Then he starts to fuss because he doesn't like it. Weston also spent his first few days at preschool. No, we have not enrolled him but the preschool Hudson goes to has infant drop in days. I have been working quite a bit lately so it's nice to be able to have him and Hudson in the same place when our regular babysitter isn't available. Weston went on his 3rd airplane ride, he's a well seasoned traveler already!</div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px; text-align: center;">

Likes: I'm so happy to be able to write that Weston LOVES his big brother! He thinks Hudson is hilarious. It's so sweet to see the two of them start to interact. Weston also loves his Momma still! No separation anxiety yet but when he's fussy or tired he only wants me. This can be sweet and exhausting all at the same time, especially at bedtime! He really likes the bouncer IF he's fed and rested. One morning this week he bounced away for about 1.5 hours! But, usually it lasts about 10 minutes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px; text-align: center;">

Dislikes: Weston continues to be pretty laid back. He doesn't like to be tired but, then again, who does? I'm thankful for my happy boy!</div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px; text-align: center;">

Big brother update: Hudson is LOVING preschool. I am so thankful. He had a little trouble with me leaving the first few days but he got over that quickly. He continues to be incredibly strong willed but so very sweet at the same time. He tells me randomly that he loves me or that I look beautiful. He's still such a Momma's boy and, although I feel like he's growing up so fast, I am cherishing all the sweet time we have together now. On days I work he will tell me "Mommy, I missed you". He says the funniest thing and Chris and I are constantly laughing at his active imagination. He has an incredible memory for a 2 year old and is very perceptive. We really have to be careful what we say around him because he is a little sponge. I am so thankful for both my boys!</div>

We went to the beach the last weekend in August for a few days. As always we stayed with Chris' aunt and uncle who are so generous with their home at Emerald Isle. We only actually went to the beach twice (it's a chore with 2 little ones!) but spent time at the pool, aquarium, and enjoying their cable television...who can resist a Fixer Upper marathon??<div>I never take as many pictures as I would like but here's a few from our trip:</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-y4ruUT8238A/VgCXjufTEGI/AAAAAAAADQ4/h3Ei8RmS_Hc/s640/blogger-image--717962900.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Measurements: If I had a dime for every time Weston gets called a "big boy" I would be a very rich lady! But it's only the truth. At his appointment this morning he was 17 lbs 15 oz (89th percentile) and 26.75 inches (94th percentile). He wears 6-9 month clothing and fills out every bit of them! I have a feeling that Hudson's clothes aren't going to always fit so my hopes of not buying any new clothes may be dashed.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Eats: Well obviously he loves to eat (see above). I nurse on demand but it's pretty much every 3 hours although he will eat anytime I offer which is nice if we have to be somewhere. I don't pump much but thankful that I'm still able to if I need to like when I work. No solid food yet although he grabs at my food every time I'm eating. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sleeps: If we are home, Weston will take 3 naps a day. However, we rarely stay home an entire day because Hudson wouldn't stand for that! Thankfully Weston's pretty flexible and will nap in the car, stroller, etc. He's not sleeping great at night. I put him down around 7:30 and he's usually up sometime around 2am and then again around 5:00 or so. Usually I can get him back to sleep until about 6:30 or 7 thankfully. The past few nights I have done a "dream feed" and he slept until closer to 4:00 so I guess that has been helping a bit.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Milestones: Weston graduated out of the carseat when he rides in the stroller! This makes for much happier rides for both of us...happy baby=happy momma! He does a full out belly laugh now which I absolutely love! No rolling from back to tummy yet...too much chunk for that I guess ;)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Likes: Just like big brother, Weston loves him Momma. No separation anxiety yet but if he's fussy with someone else I can usually always calm him down. He likes to be sung to and played with...something I'm looking forward to doing a lot more of when Hudson starts preschool tomorrow!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Dislikes: Honestly Weston is so laid back that there's no a ton that I would say he "dislikes". Just doesn't like to be hungry or tired...other than that he's pretty content! He doesn't love laying on the floor but thankfully he's pretty happy in the bouncer or the bumbo.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Big brother update: My big boy starts preschool tomorrow!! I'm sure that will be it's own blog post if I ever get around to it. Hudson is a very strong-willed child and we are having our share of tantrums these days. I'm hoping preschool will help with this. I think a lot of it is stemming from jealousy over Weston because Hudson constantly wants me to carry him and tells me to "put brother down". We have started talking about potty training but Hudson just isn't ready. We tried big boy underwear a few days and it was just frustrating for both of us. If I thought he was ready I would just stick with it but it almost seemed like it was giving him some anxiety to go sit on the potty. I don't want to do more harm than good at this point! </div>

This past week, the boys and I had the privilege of traveling to Boston for Emily's wedding. Emily and I have been friends for 15+ years and she's more like a sister to me than just a friend. I have been looking forward to this for a long time! We were in Boston from Wednesday-Tuesday so we were able to spend lots of time with family too which was really nice. I think the best way to document the week is through pictures!</div>

On the way to Boston, the boys and I were on the same flight as Mallory, David, and Connor. I was so thankful for the company and a few extra hands to help with the boys!</div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Measurements: Weston continues to grow like a weed! I don't know how much he weighs but I'm anxious to find out next month at his doctor's appointment. But, I do know he's a big boy! He has quite a few 6 month outfits that are comfortable. He has outgrown most 3 month stuff and his 3-6 is getting too short in length. I actually had to buy a few new sleepers because Hudson wore 6 month sleepers in the fall/winter so they are all thicker, fleecy material. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Eats: Weston is nursing every 2-3 hours. Thankfully he takes a bottle no problem now! I worked a couple of long days and he didn't have a choice. When I'm home I only nurse...who has time to pump with a crazy 2 year old to chase around?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sleeps: Although we aren't on a schedule, Weston definitely is a bit more predictable in his sleep now. He generally naps about 1-1.5 hours after he wakes up in the morning. The, throughout they day, he usually stays awake for 1.5-2 hours after eating before he's ready for another nap. I try to have him in bed by 8 and he's waking usually only once a night. Although last night he slept straight through the night...woohoo!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Milestones: Weston laughed for the first time this month! It was just a little chuckle but baby laughs are the best! He's close to rolling from his back to his tummy but not quite there yet. Also, Weston had his first airplane ride and he did great!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Likes: My littlest man still likes to be held a lot. But, thankfully if he's well rested he will be content to lay on his playmate for a while. He likes to be interacted with and always smiles when he's being talked to. He is already a Momma's boy! Chris gets frustrated at times because Weston can be super fussy but usually when I take him he calms down pretty quickly. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Dislikes: Weston has stopped liking the swing! And he doesn't like much tummy time. He also has a big dislike for the bath! Good thing I only remember to bathe him a few times a week ;) Second child problems...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Big brother update: Hudson is going through another phase of separation anxiety. I'm hoping this is a short phase because he starts preschool in September and I want it to be a pleasant experience for all of us! Thankfully Hudson is back to sleeping through the night most nights, although he still has an occasional bad night here and there. I continue to be told often how smart he is which definitely makes this Mommy proud! He is still super sweet with Weston. Just yesterday Weston was fussy and Hudson went up to him, gave him a kiss, and said "I love you brother". I hope they grow up to be the best of friends!</div>

This past weekend Weston and I flew to Boston for a quick trip. We got there on Friday night and on Saturday I hosted a bridal shower for my best friend Emily. I was so happy with how it all came together! We decorated with purple and ivory (her wedding colors) and had ice cream sundaes for our "main course". Weston got to meet some of my extended family and friends at the shower and will meet the rest of my "Northern" family when we head back for the wedding. We flew back Monday morning to reunite with big brother and Daddy! Weston did great on the plane which I'm so thankful for because in just 3 weeks I'll be flying back to Boston for the wedding but this time I'll have both boys in tow! Here are some pictures from the weekend:</div>

He is 14 lbs 2 oz (Hudson was 12 lbs 14 oz at 2 months) and 23.8 inches long (Hudson was 23). That's 81st percentile for height and85th percentile for weight. No wonder my arms are tired all the time from my boy who loves to be held! He has outgrown his 0-3 month clothes and is comfortable in 3 months or 3-6 month clothes.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Eats: Weston is nursing every 2-3 hours and gets very few bottles although that will change when I start working a bit more. When he does get a bottle it takes a few minutes for him to figure out how to drink it. His bottles are usually 4-5 ounces and it's hit or miss whether he will finish it. We aren't really on a schedule as to when he eats yet, I'm still just nursing on demand.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sleeps: Weston is a good sleeper although we aren't on a nap schedule yet. But, being on a schedule would probably require us to be home a bit more than we are. It's so hard to stay home with a 2 year old that loves to be out of the house. But, I am noticing more "routine" to his sleeping so I'm sure he will fall into a schedule soon. He sleeps well at night, usually with one 6-7 hour stretch. I put him to bed around 8pm and he's usually up once or twice before getting up around 6:30 or so. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Milestones: Weston started smiling this month which is such a sweet milestone! He also is rolling from his tummy to his back if he's propped up on his elbows. But, he doesn't really like being on his tummy so we don't work on this much :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Likes: Weston likes to be held...all the time. This can get pretty tiring for Momma but I try to remind myself that soon enough he won't want to be held so I should treasure these moments! He still likes the swing sometimes but he has to be pretty content to begin with, or asleep. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Dislikes: My littlest man does not like his carseat but usually falls asleep within a few minutes. Sadly, he isn't a big fan of the stroller either but again, it usually puts him to sleep. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Big brother update: Hudson loves his little brother! But he can be rough at times without meaning to. His hugs can turn into choke holds! He doesn't like when Weston cries and will try to calm him down by giving him the paci. Speaking of pacis, we are still trying to get rid of Hudsons. He only uses it at night or nap (although if we let him he would want it all the time). Right now it's not worth the trouble to get rid of it for sleep purposes! While Hudson still has moments of jealousy over his little brother, he is sweet most of the time and it's so sweet to see the two of them together!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-uS0EbqDL_qM/VZvMjemS0kI/AAAAAAAADFA/rVM_Opa84fg/s640/blogger-image--192352507.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-uS0EbqDL_qM/VZvMjemS0kI/AAAAAAAADFA/rVM_Opa84fg/s640/blogger-image--192352507.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-RaEX2tM4GGc/VZvMgkkbOLI/AAAAAAAADE4/szTofO5hKE8/s640/blogger-image-544207785.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-RaEX2tM4GGc/VZvMgkkbOLI/AAAAAAAADE4/szTofO5hKE8/s640/blogger-image-544207785.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-SzE7i1zOHS0/VZvMeFD2guI/AAAAAAAADEw/kSDdtV0yjBc/s640/blogger-image--937467079.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-SzE7i1zOHS0/VZvMeFD2guI/AAAAAAAADEw/kSDdtV0yjBc/s640/blogger-image--937467079.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-HgMTjLkl4tI/VZvMmXKyq4I/AAAAAAAADFI/S0--wbvyuhw/s640/blogger-image-453547167.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-HgMTjLkl4tI/VZvMmXKyq4I/AAAAAAAADFI/S0--wbvyuhw/s640/blogger-image-453547167.jpg"></a></div><br></div><br></div><br></div><br></div>

It's 9:15 on Saturday night. My husband is at a guy's only cookout and both my kids are in bed. So, I figured I would spend a few minutes on the little 'ole blog and maybe write about something other than my kids! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. I went back to work on Thursday. It was actually really nice to get out of the house and have some real adult conversation (and making a little money didn't hurt either). Have I mentioned here how thankful I am for this job? I don't work much (in fact, I only have 5 days scheduled between now and September) but I really enjoy what I'm doing, have great co-workers, and am so thankful for the flexibility to be home with my boys most of the time but still have the opportunity to work as much or as little as I want.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. I need a post-baby wardrobe pick-me-up. So, for our anniversary this year Chris told me to treat myself to some clothes. But. the thought of shopping with 2 little ones in tow is not at all appealing. So, I thought I would give Stitch Fix a try. Heard of it? Basically you pay a $20 "stylist fee" and they send you 5 items of clothing based on the style profile you fill out. Then, if you keep any of the items the $20 is credited to your account. Sounded like a good idea to me. So, I filled out my profile and anxiously awaited my box in the mail. It came yesterday and it was a BUST. Bummer. I had such high hopes! I had specifically asked for some summer shorts and shirts but my box included a pair of $98 jeans (there was a time I would have paid that for jeans but not now with 4 people in my family to clothe!), a long sleeve shirt that I actually really liked but it was $58 and obviously not practical in this 100 degree heat wave, 2 shirts I just didn't like, and a $40 necklace. My sweet husband saw how disappointed I was and offered to keep the boys one soon morning so I could go shopping by myself and get a few items.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. We joined the YMCA! We went back and forth about it because it's not exactly factored into our budget but we decided last week to bite the bullet and do it! I have only been once so far to a cycle class with my friend Alison but I look forward to trying out lots more classes! Running just isn't going to be so easy now because we don't have a double jogging stroller. So, I'm thankful to have an exercise alternative. Also, I'm so excited to take Hudson to the pool occasionally. It's important to me that he's comfortable in the water and hopefully learn to swim sooner rather than later.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. I'm going to Boston in 2 weeks! Weston and I will be going from Friday-Monday as I'm hosting a bridal shower for my best friend Emily on Saturday. It's been tricky planning the shower long distance but thankfully my mom and another one of the bridesmaids is helping me. And then, I'll be traveling back up in early August with both boys (by myself! on an airplane! eek!) for the wedding. I'm so excited for Emily and can't wait to see all my family and friends at the shower and wedding!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And with that, I'm off to bed! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. I sure hope that's true because this Momma doesn't have time to write a thousand words right now. So here's our recent happenings...in pictures.</div>

<i>Someday...</i>I will sleep more than 4 hours at time again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<i>Someday...</i>my house just might be clean again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Someday...</i>I won't listen to my toddler have a meltdown over things like Mommy giving him the Elmo bandaid when he actually wanted Cookie Monster.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Someday...</i>diaper changes won't take up half my day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Someday...</i>I won't feel like I'm living in survival mode.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Someday...</i>my two precious boys will grow up and I'll want them to be little again. So, I'll cherish the hard days because these are days I'll never get back. The days might be long sometimes but the years are oh so short. Sleep, showers, cleaning...that all can wait. Right now, I'm going to soak up every moment with my boys because being a Mom is a gift and the best job I'll ever have.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-hr2lyG_oXqY/VXnDYhxfrdI/AAAAAAAADBU/Zo-YlUUyqCU/s640/blogger-image-1306494119.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-hr2lyG_oXqY/VXnDYhxfrdI/AAAAAAAADBU/Zo-YlUUyqCU/s640/blogger-image-1306494119.jpg"></a></div><br></div>

I cannot believe that Weston is already a month old. It's been a whirlwind of a month. I had some postpartum complications two weeks after Weston was born that landed me back in this hospital for 24 hours after emergency surgery but thankfully I'm mostly feeling back to normal. I have had so much help over the past month- my parents were here for 2 weeks and then Chris took the week after my surgery off because I was not suppose to lift Hudson. So, I really have only been on my own with both boys at home for the past week. Whew, two kids is tough! But, we are surviving and I'm sure we will settle into a nice routine soon. Anyways, here's more about my sweet boy #2:</div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 14.8500003814697px; line-height: 20.7900009155273px; text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 14.8500003814697px; line-height: 20.7900009155273px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 14.8500003814697px; line-height: 20.7900009155273px;">Measurements: We have a chunky monkey on our hands! At Weston's one month appointment today Weston weighed in at 11 lb 3.5 oz (76th percentile). Hudson was 9 lb 9.5 oz at one month. Weston has grown 2 whole inches and is now in the 81st percentile at 22.5 inches. Hudson was 21 inches at one month. Right now it seems like they will be built pretty differently but who knows. Weston has outgrown his newborn clothes and is wearing either 0-3 or 3 month clothes. I started him in cloth diapers last week but he's still a bit too small for most of them so we are using disposables about 50% of the time until his legs chunk up a bit!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 14.8500003814697px; line-height: 20.7900009155273px; text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 14.8500003814697px; line-height: 20.7900009155273px; text-align: center;">
Eats: Weston, just like his brother was, is a great nurser. We haven't had any issues and he has latched well from day 1. He nurses on demand every 2-3 hours during the day. I have only pumped once and Chris gave him a bottle which he did fine with. He refuses a paci most of the time so there are definitely days that I feel like I'm constantly nursing because nothing else will calm him down.</div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 14.8500003814697px; line-height: 20.7900009155273px; text-align: center;">

Sleeps: We still have a very sleepy baby on our hands. Weston sleeps a lot of the day but also sleeps pretty well at night. We definitely aren't on a schedule but I do some sort of rhythm to his sleep patterns. I have been trying to have him nap in his crib at least once a day although he's still sleeping in the rock n play at night. He does love the swing which I'm thankful for. The moments that he falls asleep on my chest and I can actually just sit there with him are few and far between because of big brother but I do cherish those moments. At night he sleeps 3-4 hour stretches although he had twice given me a 6 hour stretch! Hopefully those will become more frequent soon.</div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 14.8500003814697px; line-height: 20.7900009155273px; text-align: center;">

Big brother update: Hudson does well with Weston for the most part although I definitely see hints of jealousy here and there. Unfortunately we are having a lot of trouble with Hudson's sleep lately. He refuses naps unless someone lays with him until he's asleep. And he wakes up at least once, usually more, times at night. He has a sweet disposition most of the time but we definitely see the "terrible twos" come out at times! He has some pretty bad tantrums and can be downright defiant. He doesn't respond much to discipline at this point but I keep telling myself that it's just a phase and it will get easier. He's had lots of changes lately so I'm trying to show him (and myself) grace.</div>
