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...

Family Fun

Back in July, some of Kyler's cousin's that he played with almost everyday, moved to South Texas. Last week they came up for a visit. Kyler had so much fun playing with someone his size. Brek loved Baby Damon and wanted to help feed him and give him Skittles!! We were sad they had to leave, but loved having them here!!

(He doesn't really liked to be touched, but don't let him fool you he had lots of fun)



Tyce and Kyler both love balls and especially footballs lately. This is a cute video of Tyce and Kyler throwing the ball to each other. Tyce was cracking us up!!

Here are some still shots of Tyce. He was too funny!

Kenney's favorite. Tyce was so into it!

The best brother picture I have been able to get, sad huh? Kyler's does not look one bit happy and Damon is blowing bubbles. We've got to work on this!

Poor Damon is not a very happy baby. I think he has tummy problems and major sleeping issues, but we love him none-the-less. This video is one of his 20 minutes of happiness during the day. I had to take advantage and film my cute little baby.

My goofy Kyler. He wore this lei for about 2 hours that day.

Last Lake Trip

A labor-free day at the lake on our Labor Day. NOT!! Going anywhere with kids involves labor. We decided to go to the lake one last time with Kenney's family this past weekend because we knew Kyler would have a blast. We were not disappointed because he did have tons of fun, but there was not much playing in the water. It was the first nice weekend all summer long, making it pleasant to be outside. Although, it was not hot enough to make the water temperature feel comfortable. Kyler nor Kenney got in the water. I had no intentions on getting in the water, but Kenney didn't even go on the boat. He is the biggest wimp when it comes to cold water, and Kyler seems to follow suit! Kyler did have a great time playing in the sand and eating as many treats as he could find!!

Our days of 'real' smiles are over for a while. Now he has to make weird faces when the camera comes out.

And the weird faces continue...
Apparently it is fun to dump sand all over yourself because that is exactly what Kyler did. Don't worry, he ate plenty of it too. Anytime he dropped food, he would just pick it right back up, all covered in sand, and put it in his mouth. Yum!

Once Damon feel asleep, he loved the lake! Don't let him fool you, he only sleeps this well when the sun is up. Those dark little eyes make their appearance every morning around 3am. Luckily for me the night after we went to the lake, we was awake from 3-6am!!

He's so tired he can't even suck on a pacifier!

He didn't even know it came out

Kyler after one of the many times I had to feed Damon. We had to find something to distract him or who knows what my house would look like.

Oh how true his shirt is...
