Happy Halloween!

This Halloween we had two little monsters to take trick or treating! 

Hayden went as Darth Vader, and William went as Yoda!

A couple of days ago we also carved pumpkins with the boys...

Adrian is the best at carving pumpkins out of us all! His is the middle one, DARTH VADER! Hayden told us where he wanted the eyes, nose and mouth then we cut it out where he told us. Can you guess which one is his?!

Note to self: Don't get cupcakes with black icing!

The extent of our Halloween decor. Next year we wanna get some decorations for the front yard!

Hayden trick or treating.

His haul! 

Plus, dear friends of ours also had a bag for William! In the bag was two jars of baby food and a Halloween bib! SO thoughtful,and cute!

I was planning on having a big post about our Halloween, but honestly I am exhausted and I just wanna go to bed and watch Glee. Sorry. 

Now that Halloween 2013 has come to end,it's time to break out the Christmas Decorations! 

I CAN'T WAIT FOR CHRISTMAS!!

William - 4 months.

WOW FOUR FREAKING MONTHS! I cannot believe how fast the time has gone! I feel guilty because I hardly remember him being a newborn, those first days at home went by SO fast but yet the days felt SO long. Today I was admiring him at church and how smiley he was, and how blessed we are to have two amazing little boys that God has called us to raise. Anyways, William is growing like a weed, he is tall and lanky, and has the rolls! How does that work? Not totally sure. 

He weighs 15 pounds, and call me a bad mom but I completely forgot how tall he is. I will need to write it down for the next time we head to the doctors.

I don't remember if I mentioned this before but there was some concern about Williams head. He favored one side and it was not developing how it should have been. Even with all the tummy time, and sitting up we would do with him, it just wouldn't round out. Well now its ALOT better, I guess all it needed was a little time!  We went for his 4 month check up, and the doctor has no concern anymore, and she doesn't think we will need to see a therapist. Thank goodness, I was worried. DUH! So, ya his head is still a little flat, but not as bad as it was, we will keep working at it. 

William has started to eat cereal, he rolls over, he is starting to like tummy time, he loves sitting up and watching Hayden play, he interacts with Hayden which is the cutest thing I have ever seen, and he smiles and giggles. He is still a little fussy and high maintenance and LOVES his mama. Hayden was such a daddy's boy, he still is, but I think William will be more of a mommy's boy. Not going to complain, unless he is thirty and is still living with us then it will become a problem. William loves story time, putting things in his mouth, the sound of the vacuum cleaner and blow dryer, daddy's voice and loves his soother!

 

In the beginning I had hard time finding the connection between William and I. With Hayden I felt this instant connection and bond. With William it was harder cause he was fussier and everything I did to make him happy and comfortable didn't help,plus I couldn't hold him and snuggle with him ALL the time like I did with Hayden cause now I was chasing after Hayden. It was HARD. I would get frustrated, and sometimes just put him in his crib and walked away because I could not handle it, thinking back, I think I may have had a LITTLE bit of post postpartum. But now I feel this special bond between William and I and the same love  that I had with Hayden when they first plopped him on me. I am so thankful for that. I feel that we now have routine, that I know William's different cries and what he needs or wants, and also that Hayden knows that mommy loves him even if I can't always play with him. They say that the first 4 months are the hardest and now I would have to agree. William is almost 5 months, and I feel so much better physically and mentally. And I also feel that I got this whole two kid mommy thing. There is no need for me to feel that I need to be SUPER MOMMY EVERY DAY! The house won't always be clean, or in order, and that IS okay! Thank God for a husband that understands and still loves me even if the house is a mess. For people that are reading this and know me, leaving the house a mess and not worrying about it till the boys go to bed  is SUPER hard for me.

 

Anyways, I am done now. William, you are such a joy! And I am so lucky to be your mommy. Thank you to you and your brother for being the two little sunshines in my life.
