Let the teething begin!

Its hard to believe but at 17 weeks we already have one teething!!!  After a week of drooling & constant fussing yesterday we were able to confirm that little Wyatt has swollen gums. : (

Its been such a rough week that we ended up selling our tickets to the Vandy v. LSU game last night on Facebook.  We knew with the way they were acting we couldn't leave them with a sitter... if we did, the poor soul who kept them may never do it again!

We did take the boys to their first visit with the Clemson Club. They were good little tigers and didn't even get upset with all the yelling.

This week is going to be a big one for the boys. They have their four month checkup before driving to Loudon.  Thursday they get to take their first PLANE RIDE as we fly to SC for the Byers Family Annual Beach Bash.  Humm.... two teething four month olds on a plane the day after they have their shots.  To those flying with us we apologize in advance!

The Boys are 4 Months this weekend!

Its hard to believe but the boys will be 16 WEEKS this weekend!  They are growing so fast and changing every day.  Words can't explain what it has been like to watch them change each day.

They have recently learned to talk... or at least a little jibber jabber. :)  Each night I sit down with them and I think they tell me about everything they did that day!  Not sure if there telling me what they did, telling on each other OR telling on dad...  I guess time will tell! :)

Little personalities are developing and to see them smile & laugh will melt your heart!  The best part is mommy & daddy are actually getting some sleep these days which makes watching all these changes and milestones that much more enjoyable.  They are on a very strict schedule with baths, bottles, and bed by 8pm.  For the last week they have been sleeping until 6AM!  A VERY good nights rest for us.

A couple weeks ago we had the boys 3 month pictures made with our dear friend Sara Rose.  If your looking for a photographer in the Middle Tennessee area I highly recommend her. View her blog and website from here or from the blogs I follow list.

Own Our Own

The boys are now 11 days old... hard to believe.  Mimi had to go back home on Tuesday afternoon so Tuesday night was Jonathan & Is first night own our own with the boys.  I wish I could say it was a piece of cake but JP went to work on only two hours of sleep.  We were beginning to think that either Mimi lied to us about how good they are through the night OR she's been slipping them some whiskey after she sent us to bed!

Yesterday was a little ruff for me as well.  They are eating every 3 hours and it was taking me a good two of those to get them both fed, changed, and put down so I could pump.  Didn't leave much time to rest or straighten up the house.  Laundry had to be done & bottles washed and I made it through.  By the end of the day I was getting things down to science and had them down within the hour!

Last night luckily went MUCH better!  They are sleeping a little longer in between feedings and we sometimes have to wake them up so they aren't going more then four hours between feedings!  Which meant we both slept a little more as well.

Jonathan is off for the weekend starting this afternoon so we are looking forward to a nice long weekend together.
