Jealousy or drama king?

Drama King for sure!

As we were getting ready to get out the door this morning, I found Sebastian with Nate's old soothie (Nate actually never really used it). He was walking around pretending to cry and even sat on the baby's swing (thank godness he's not too heavy) pretending to be a baby. He thinks it's hilarious... and so do I!

Time to move out!

of our room that is!

Nathan is a BIG boy (nearly 18 lbs at 3 months) and I feel bad that he is still in the pack-n-play in our room, so I think it's time to move him out into his own room. I made a few "sleep mistakes" with Sebastian (who STILL sleeps with us) and I hope to not make them again - we live and learn, right??- I *think* we'll give it a try tonight! Wish me luck!

nap time, what's that??

For about a two months now, I have been having a really hard time getting Sebastian to go down for a nap. A day without a nap for all of us usually equals TORTURE because, by 5 o'clock Sebastian becomes the crankiest child ever and I have to admit I look forward to that break from him for a bit. Sometimes driving around works but getting two kids in a car to drive to no where is a big pain in the butt!

So, I have made up a new rule, if your not sleeping then you have to be quiet for at least an hour so mommy can have a break (I am sure you know how often that works out).

Today, things were a bit too quiet (with a toddler quiet=trouble) so I went and checked on him and this is how I found him.

Don't mind the poor quality of the photo, I wasn't using a flash and bumped up to ISO to 1600.

Sebastian's new do!

Brothers

Today when I went to pick up Sebastian and Nate at the gym's daycare after my class, the lady who watches them told me how protective Sebastian is of his baby brother. He wouldn't let anyone but him touch him and constantly came by him to make sure he was ok. How sweet is that?? I am SO proud of Sebastian. He is such an amazing big brother.

Being a stay-at-home-mom of two is hectic most of the times, but seeing you children love each other just makes it all worth it!

He's 3 months old already!!

My baby is 3 months old! Can you believe it??
A year ago I thought I'd never have another baby and now my gift from God (that is what Nathaniel means) is 3 months old!!
He is truely a blessing and has brought so much love and joy into our family.

What is baby up to these days?
- He is sleeping through the night!! 7-8-9 or even 10 hours in a row!!
- He sleeps swaddled only!
- He is over 17 pounds so you can imagine that most of his day is spent on the boob.
- He has been rolling over from belly to back since he was 9 weeks old.
- He started smiling at 5 weeks old (actually 2 days before he turned 5 weeks).
- He lovessssssss to talk (wonder where he got that from?).
- He smiles all the time especially to his buddy, our ceiling fan LOL
- He loves to be in his swing on his boucer in the middle of the house so he can people watch.
- He never cries unless something is wrong.
- He loves his bath. That's all I can think of now.
Here are some pictures I took of him for his 3 month mini photo shoot :) I just think he is getting cuter by the minute, don't you think?

if you wondering what the strange sock looking things are, they are called babylegs and they are AWESOME!

Playing is exhausting

Nathan is finally getting the hang of his play gym. He enjoys staring at the dangling toys and is now starting to try to catch them. I usually put him on the mat when I take a shower. This is how I found him this after I came out!
