kwote of the day

Why the funky spelling? Because the "cue" key on this computer is broken.
"This is too heavy for a little guy like me to carry" speaking of a collegiate dictionary he got out of his room. These are the cute things to remember when I have those frustrating days!

I have officially gone nuts!

And I am registered for the Chicago Marathon. It is being run on my 33rd birthday. Now hopefully I have the discipline to stick to training and preparing so I can run this baby!

2 month doctor visit

Well, I foolishly scheduled our 2 month Dr's visit for 8am, which meant we had to leave the house by 7:30. Quite a feat with a 3 year old and an infant, but we did make it!

Wesley had his 2 month visit a few weeks late because of the doctor's schedule, but he is doing well. Here are the latest stats:

Weight: 12 lbs. 12 oz
Height: 23 3/4 inches
Head cir: 40 cm.

According to the doctor, he is at about the 75th percentile for all 3 categories, making him well-proportioned. Compare that to Joshua, who as I remember, was 90th percentile for head, 25th or less for height and weight.

Right now, Wesley is sleeping off the indignity of getting 3 shots AND and oral dose of the rotavirus vaccine. Poor kid!

Funny to me

I love being across the room and being able to hear little Wesley fill his pants. Don't ask me why I find it so hysterical, but a girls gotta laugh before changing the umpteenth poopy diaper in one day, no?

Quick update

Yikes, I have been lazy lately. I am still no further along in the sweater I was trying to finish by Christmas :(, but I have learned that my hobbies need to take the back burner to caring for the boys and trying to stay somewhat on top of household chores so we are fed and not living in chaos.

Despite the lack of a Christmas sweater, we had a GREAT Christmas and New Years with family. Over the break from school, Joshua discovered a new love--bowling! I have a video from our bowling session with the grandparents I will post soon. The best part about bowling is that after all that carrying around a heavy ball makes him SOOO sleepy. Yay for me!

Wesley is developing into quite the laid-back charmer with lots of smiles for everyone and puts up with his big brothers hugs, pacifier-stealing, and snuggles like a trooper. We keep telling Joshua to be careful, Wesley may be bigger than him one day, but our warnings are to no avail. We hope our boys continue to love on each other as they grow older.

Wesley is here!

So, this relates to the boys part of the blog title. Wesley Andrew Studee was born on November 11th, at 8am. Weighing in at 8 lbs, 8 1/2 oz, and measuring 20 1/2 inches long. We get to go home tomorrow so he can meet his big brother!

Joshua's Christmas sweater

Here is my latest work in progress (WIP). Joshua's christmas sweater. It is another Lion Brand pattern using Vanna's Choice. No, I don't have a thing for Vanna White, I just like good quality acyrlic yarn for kids projects! I have the back, front right, and front left done. There is some hope he will get it by Christmas!
