Um Happy Thanksgiving?!?

No I mean it Happy Thanksgiving!  I'm just in shock that it is already here and needless to say I'm behind on blogging.  I'm usually just a sleepy momma come nighttime and zone out on the couch versus use my brain in anyway.  But whats new with my family?  Well we are doing pretty great!  God has blessed me with a wonderful family and I am blessed to be the woman in all my boys lives!  Each week gets a bit easier as Leo evolves from a newborn to a baby!  Somehow he is already 10 weeks old and he is just amazing.  Such a sweet soul and a wonderful baby.  We had a couple rough weeks with nursing but after a visit to the lactation consultant everyday has gotten easier and I've learned Leo's cues etc.  He loves his naps and I am fortunate at this point that he doesn't fight sleep!  He eats has some play time and is ready for his nap.  He takes about 3 a day with his longest being in the middle of the day....when Dylan naps too!  How lucky am I?  I know the coinciding naps may not last but I'll take it while I can.  Dylan continues to happily take about a 2 hour nap a day!  Leo gets up 1-2 times a night but is definitely sleeping longer stretches and after he eats he goes right back down.  He is about 12 pounds much bigger than Dylan was at this age!  He is completely in 3 mo clothing and I think he's so darn adorable.  Thank you Lord for our baby boy!

Dylan is doing great also and weighing in at a whopping 22 pounds!  Yeah little bro is going to pass him!  Dylan just doesn't have a huge appetite and is a picky eater but you'd never know it by his energy!  He doesn't throw many tantrums but has his moments as is to be expected.  It is a lesson in patience for both of us!  He has an incredible personality and makes us all laugh very often.  I love that he is so smart and talking more each day!  He's my little buddy that's for sure!

I've joined some mom groups and am meeting new people.  Its very fulfilling and wonderful to meet other moms at this same stage in life as myself!

Dylan just woke up from his nap so I have to cut this short but all in all we are adjusting well as a family of four and feel very blessed this time of year and always!  Here are a couple of pics!
