February

I am back at work now and miss my boys!  Maternity leave was great! November was a little rough with Madden eating every 2-3 hours all day and night.  December was better and I was able to take him Xmas shopping with me a lot!  January was great!  I still took Heisman to Katie's 3-4 days a week but some days I didn't get him there until 10 or so.  He was pretty good about going to daycare but every once in awhile he was sad when I dropped him off and said he wanted to just stay home.  I know he had fun at Katie's, probably more fun than at home with me some days.  It was hard when I needed to feed Madden and Heisman wanted to play.  He probably watched a little too much TV November and December!  Once Madden started sleeping well at night, life was so much better!  Heisman went to Kids Gym two mornings a week at the Y and one morning of story time at the library.  We usually followed up story time with a trip to Burger King or McDonald's with some friends.  Madden is such a relaxed baby and barely cries. Such a good baby!!!  He is so close to rolling over and I told him he has to do it at home first.  Work was easy to get back into my regular routine.  The evenings are crazy busy with feedings, supper, baths, bottles, etc.  One of Heisman's favorite things to do is dance downstairs.  We have a mattress on the floor from when my family visited.  It's been there for 3 months!  He loves playing music on my phone and showing us his "cool dance moves."  It's really fun to watch :)

Professional pics

I got some 3 month pictures of Madden taken and was also able to get a few updated ones of Heisman as well.  It was so nice that we took the pictures outside!  Crazy!

3 months

We are having so much fun with the boys these days.  Madden is smiling and cooing and Heisman is always trying to figure out what he's saying.  Madden is sleeping through the night most nights, thank goodness for that thumb!!!  We took the boys to an Iowa basketball game and they both did great!  It is crazy is how much Madden looks like Heisman!  I will put a 3 month picture of Heisman in here to show you....

The next two are Heisman at 3 months

Outside fun

This winter has been crazy!  Blizzard and then 50 degrees.  It has been nice enough for me to bundle up Madden and take him on a few walks.  Heisman also enjoyed the snow with Kinley.

Two months

Madden is growing like crazy!  He is such a good baby and is starting to go longer stretches at night.  Heisman is still being a great big brother.  Madden had his two month check up the first week of January.  He weighed in at 16 lbs 4 oz and measured 24 5/8th in.  What a big boy!!!  He is also staying awake more during the day and it's fun to see his smiles.  He also found his thumb :)

 

Christmas

Heisman is really excited for Xmas this year!  Our elf, Buster, is at our house to keep an eye on the boys this holiday season.  Heisman enjoys finding him every morning and even talks to him every once in awhile.  Madden has been helping me get all of my Xmas shopping done.  He is a good shopper at this age (all he does is sleep)!  Heisman and I set up the tree and even made some cookies.  He loved licking the sugar off his fingers!  We did see Santa before the big blizzard arrived.  Heisman asked him for a glow tent and car chargers.
