Mommy turns 30!

So happy birthday to me! I truly can't believe I'm 30.... and I must say that the 20's was everything I hoped it would be so I can only imagine what the 30's will bring. The past 10 years I graduated from Virginia Tech, I married my best friend Josh, and now have two handsome boys! I always wanted to be married and have two kids by the time I turned 30- I'm so lucky to have it all come true.

My day was spent at home with the boys:) When daddy came home we went to Chili's for some drinks and then back to the house to hang out. We had a wonderful time. I'm so lucky to have such great family and friends:)

Thanks to my brother and his wife for my awesome card that sang "My next 30 years" by Tim McGraw...... cheers to the next 30!

Love my family

The perfect 30th birthday celebration with the kiddos

4 months old and a 2.5 year old!

It seems like this past month Brandon has been taking even MORE of a liking for his brother. Now that Tucker interacts with Brandon by smiling and laughing at him, Brandon loves it! I just hope this love continues as they get older. Tucker is getting stronger but is pretty stubborn with rolling over from his back to his belly. He will do it very rarely but he is sooooo close to rolling over all the time. He has been sleeping through the night (about 8 hours) but the time he wakes us varies. Now that Tucker is on soy formula and eating oatmeal at night seems to be doing a lot better:)

Brandon has been doing a good job with potty training and can pretty much "pee" on the potty with minimal accidents. We only keep big boy underwear on at home because we haven't gotten brave enough to go into public with underwear. We are hoping we can do this soon!

Tucker also loves the jogging stroller like Brandon did.... which is awesome! Sometimes Brandon will want to run with us which we let him. He can actually run pretty far with those little legs.

Enjoy some pictures below:)

Tucker is 4 Months Old

Tucker is 4 months old and seems to change everyday. He is smiling, laughing and making noises.... it's just so precious. We have had quite the challenge with finding the right formula... long story short... we are on soy formula. It seems to have worked with his belly issues but now I find that he is constipated more often. (if it's not one thing it's another!) He isn't sleeping through the night yet but he has had this ongoing cough for about 4 weeks now and he seems to have a coughing fit right around 3:30AM (awesome right?) but usually will fall back asleep with a pacifier. We have started to put our little guy in the crib on his back... even though he prefers his belly, we are following the rules!

We love our little guy so much! We just need to freeze time.

4 Month Well Check- 14lbs and 23.5 inches long. (50% for weight and 25% of height)

PS Thanks Auntie Kim and Uncle Joel for the Red Sox Gear:)

Easter

Well I tried all day to get a nice picture of both boys all dressed up.... but it never happened. Either one wasn't happy or the other was napping when the other was happy.....Of course!!! I did get some good ones though. We had a few Easter Eggs Hunts and had Easter Dinner at Uncle Lyle and Aunt Ginny's. It was delicious and we had a great time hanging with family. Brandon's meals consisted mainly of chocolate and candy yesterday....
