Beautiful Boys

I know everyone thinks they have the cutest kids, and I am no different! I am so glad that I have such beautiful boys. If we ever have a girl she's is going to have some competition from her brothers, hopefully she will be very pretty herself. So far Damon has only been called a girl a handful of times!

Damon has been getting so much better during the day! Yay!! We are all so glad that he doesn't cry all the time anymore. I'm sure he is more happy than any of us. Now we just have to get him to sleep better.

Damon loves to grab blankets or material of any kind and eat it. I think it is so cute! His dark blue eyes are one of him most prominent features.



This huge smile happens every morning that Damon wakes up in our bed. For some reason he sleeps so much better in our bed, even if we are not in there with him. I, on the other hand, sleep horribly when he is in the bed with us. Go figure!


Kyler was amazed by the recent thunderstorm we had. We even got some hail. Kyler seems to be a lot like his dad and is very interested in the weather. I was a nice mom and let him play in the rain/mud. I have to restrain myself and allow Kyler to get dirty; it's really hard for me. Don't worry he got in the bathtub right after he was done playing.



I love my beautiful boys!!



There is nothing particularly interesting about this video; I just love sweet little baby voices.

Batman & Robin

My mom, aka Oma, is absolutely A-MAZ-ING! She made the boys their costumes all the way from Missouri without ever being able to try anything on either one of them! All she had was a couple measurements, and everything turned out perfect! Let me tell you, Batman & Robin were a hit! Everyone that saw them thought they were so adorable and no one ever had to ask what they were supposed to be. Of course I thought they were the cutest boys everywhere we went, but I'm pretty sure most people agreed with me!

I think Kyler had the best day of his life on Halloween. I bribed him to eat dinner by saying that he could dress-up as Batman and take his pumpkin to get candy. That is all I had to say; he has never eaten dinner so fast! He could not believe all he had to do was walk up to people and get candy. He caught on very fast to the whole concept and was not afraid of anyone, as long as they were handing out candy. About halfway through our short adventure he got distracted by all the candy he was gathering and could no longer keep walking. The temptation was too strong, and he had to eat the candy!

BATMAN
Kyler loves his Batman belt and cape. He has worn the belt to the store, but luckily I have been able to convince him to take off the cape.

ROBIN
Damon was such a good sport. he kept his mask on pretty well, a lot of the time it would slip down and his nose would be poking through an eye whole!

This was to best picture I was able to get of Batman & Robin together. Robin didn't really cooperate. I guess it's hard when you can't even sit up yet!

Kyler kept his mask on as long as he was getting candy. Once he knew there was no more candy he took it off.

I didn't even have to pose him for this.

Billy made the blog!! When we took his picture at the church party, he was teasing us saying he was going to make the blog. Well here it is!
Kyler pretty much looked like this for the first 30 mins of the party because he had no idea what was going on and why everyone looked so funny!

Our cute little Robin without his mask




The people from the newspaper in town wanted a picture of the boys, but they didn't have a camera on them. I can at least brag they were cute enough to make the paper!



I have now figured out why people do not usually let kids pick out their own candy! Kyler could NOT make a decision. I was teasing Kenney's mom later saying he got that from her. She has a hard time making decisions too!

Happy Boys

I absolutely love the moments when both of my boys are happy! Unfortunately we have not had many of those moments, but we are hopeful that will change soon. We took Damon to his two month check-up today. He almost weighs 13lbs (76th percentile) and 23in long (53rd percentile). So yes, he is much more chunky than Kyler. He is still having a hard time so we are going to try some new things to help this little guy be happier more often. Lets hope it works!



Kyler is like his daddy; I don't know if I will ever be able to find clothes that fit him either!

He loves this hat!

I found Kyler like this one day after his nap. At least he was happy!

These videos are pretty blurry because they were taken on our phones, but at least we caught the moment.





The few times Damon has been happy are so fun! He had a hard time when we went to Nanny's house, but he did smile for her!




We have recently discovered that our United grocery store has little shopping carts for kids. It has never been so much fun to take Kyler to the store! He was so funny!!



Apparently Kyler likes the green can of Pringles.

Baby Damon

Our sweet little baby has had a rough life so far. He cries a most of the day and just seems to be uncomfortable at the least. We just started him on some acid reflux medicine that it's getting better; however, he now has a cold so he can't breathe. We just can't win with this kid!! Hopefully this next week will be better! During those few moments when he is not in pain, we have been able to see some adorable smiles!!



One of our good friends, who is incredibly talented, offered to take some pictures of Damon. These were taken about a month ago, but they are still just as sweet. I love them! I am so blessed to have beautiful boys, even if I feel extremely exhausted.

kinda cheesy, but cute

Success


I finally got a cute picture of both my boys! I think Kyler is adorable in this picture and Damon doesn't look half bad either. I was proud of myself, considering I did this alone. Kyler is warming up to Damon very slowly. He knows that we do not leave the house without his little brother, and he's getting used to feedings and the crying. He even gives Damon a kiss every night before bed.



I have even been successful having a baby on the path to "chubbyness". I know it might not look like much to most people, but it is far more than Kyler ever had. Damon is getting more chubby everyday because he actually eats. Imagine such a concept. Kyler is still working on that one!


Damon found a comfortable place on Daddy!

I think my kids have more shirts about their aunts than their mom. Something is wrong with this...
