Oh sleep how I love thee
It is a rare moment when the mom of a newborn is blessed with sleep! Such was that last night. Last night I gave AJ his bottle about 9:45ish... he gobbled it up, so I swaddled him all snug.. and he was sound asleep by 10:15ish. So off to bed we went. Little man didn't wake up until 5:30 this morning... I thought I was in heaven. And it wasn't until 6ish that we heard "mommy" "daddy" as our other little doe eyed boy had woke up and was ready for the day. Alas... it is 3:30 and its time for me to go home, so today's post will be nice and short!

Oh my aching bones!
So Adam has been so wonderful about exercising... he goes out running a couple times of week with a friend... so I thought to myself its time for me to get in shape. I mean what better way for us to teach our children the importance of exercise/ fitness and eating healthy than if we live it ourselves.
SO...... off I went to Jazzercise. I was able to recruit my friend Ashley (who recruited her mom), and there we stood in this room with about 15 other women looking like we were the most uncoordinated people in the world. When they kicked left, we kicked right. I think I laughed my way through the whole first song. I hadn't realized how uncoordinated I was. By the time I got a "routine" down the song was done and it was on to the next "routine"
As class ended one of the ladies told us to take 2 aleve and a glass of wine, well I took some tylenol, finished my water and got the baby to bed and myself in bed at about 11:30. AJ decided at about 3:30 that he would be houdini and escape his blanket and found that sucking on his fingers as loud as he could was fun (that was aparent by huge smile on his face as he enjoyed his fingers). I took him down for a bottle and as I stood to get out of bed, I think every bone in my body cried out in pain! Oh what was I thinking.
Of course the 3 of us are already trying to figure out when we are going to attend again, hopefully my body will soon be more forgiving as I go more often.
Mommy Brag time:
As for the boys... Avery just amazes his daddy and me every day, with what he is learning. He knows his colors (red, blue, orange, green, yellow, purple)... he knows his shapes Circle, Triangle (working on square), he knows his name, and his brothers name... and get this, he will now tell you where he lives (will tell you his street name). He gets soo excited when we play our little learning games with him... as we all cheer and there are high 5's all around when he gets a right answer.AJ, is growing up so fast... he is getting soo good at holding up his head, and he's now found his fingers and things they are the most wonderful thing to suck on. It's soo funny because he will get fustrated if he can't get them in his mouth. He likes the pacifier, but it always keeps popping out (he stops sucking), and that makes him mad. I got him this little outfit last week that says "its my way or the highway" and this little 2 1/2 month old things that is sooo true!
Alright... I'm done bragging for the moment, I need to go and get some work done!

My Boys
I love my boys... there are no doubt the most precious things in my life. I picked Avery up from school yesterday, the highlight of my day... they were out on the playground and when he saw me... he just comes running into my arms and gives me the biggest hug his 2 year old arms can give... sometimes I wish time stood still during those moments.
They are having splash day at school today, so Avery and I went to the grocery store after I got him to get some new swim diapers and other batteries for AJ's swing. Avery is my big helper in the store... he likes to take whatever we get and put it into the back of the cart, and then hand me everything to ring up.
We got home at the sametime that Adam did... and Avery was shocked to see his daddy there to get him.
My littlest angel was sitting with TT eating when we got home... whenever I see AJ I just want to gobble him up. You can kiss on his little cheeks and he'll just SMILE! So happy and so content. I was loving life later as Avery was in bed, and AJ just fell asleep on my shoulder... is life really any better than this.
AJ is having his baby dedication on August 19th. Rich Hurst will be doing the dedication... which is actually very meaningfull for us. You see Rich is who married Adam and Me, almost 4 years ago, then 2 years ago he was the one who did Avery's baby dedication... and now he will do AJ's... we are so very excited.

Summer fun
so wouldn't you know it... AJ slept until 5:30 this morning (this was going to bed around 11/11:30 ish).... BUT it would be just my luck that Avery woke up at 4:00am, (AJ's normal wake/feed time)... I think the boys are plotting against me to make sure I don't sleep through the night!
This weekend was wonderful. It was so relaxing, not having a full "to do list". We had some quality family time, so time hanging out with friends, and so relaxing time. It was so nice on Sunday afternoon, I had just got finished cleaning, and Adam came up with the baby to our room, and we were just chilling on the bed watching TV, and Avery woke up from his nap and joined us.... it was just such a fun time, the 4 of us, just sitting on the bed watching TV... Priceless moments I have engraved in my memory.
We are soo looking forward to getting away with the boys in July. We are going the last weekend in July up to Lancaster, just the 4 of us. It should be a blast and it will be our first official vacation as a family of 4. We are soo thrilled and Adam and I are already plotting out activites to do with the boys while we are up in amish country.

We are all doing very well. The boys are outstanding. Avery is 2 and goes to Chesterbrook Academy. He LOVES going to school and pulls Adam out the door everyday to get there.
AJ he is out little pork chop. He is mommy's little cuddle bug. He is soo happy, and is just as content as can be when he gets to hang out on your shoulder! He is doing very well at holding us head up, and if he is in his bouncy seat and sees you going to pick him up, he will lean his shoulders forward like he wants to sit up.
It's so hard to believe our boys are growing up so fast. It seems like just yesterday I was pregnant with Avery... and he we are with 2 wonderful blessings!
Come back to see how the boys are growing and the different milestones they hit!
