Happy 2 Month Birthday!

Didn't I just write their 1 Month Birthday post?!

Both of the boys are wearing 0-3 Month clothes now. I went through today and pulled out all of the Newborn clothes to add to the boxes of Preemies. They really do grow too fast!!! The good news is that they can now wear matching outfits since all have been purchased in the same size. We'll see how long that lasts since Tony is gaining/growing at a faster rate than Alex. I've been doing a much better job of dressing them in matching/coordinating outfits. Still a much bigger fan of coordinating though.

Updates on photo and changing table goals (because I know you're all wondering):
I am getting my hair cut on Friday and have aspirations of getting a professional family photo taken by 3 months. I NEED a haircut and we have a busy few weeks coming up...there's a chance I might just go do it Friday night or Saturday morning though...

Changing table and nursery still have not been used. HOWEVER, they are just about too long/tall for sharing a crib and we have declared this weekend time for the big move...update will be coming soon.

To celebrate their 2 month birthday, 2 NFL teams played in the Super Bowl AND Isabelle was born...pretty cool huh? ;) I dressed them in their matching football outfits...thanks Aunt Cindy and Uncle Vic!

Tony's hair is growing back (dark) and his cheeks are possibly getting even bigger than his brother's! He's getting really good at controlling and holding up his head and can straighten out his body like a ski jumper and hold himself up. He's a strong little guy! He loves watching TV and the ceiling fan. He's still a talker and babbles and flails his arms about. He's almost always happy and never cries unless his hungry or really tired.

Alex stopped being such a fuss butt towards the end of the month and is a super snuggler. I love snuggling and cuddling with them both, but Alex has started wrapping his arm around my neck and sort of tucks the other under my armpit. He's been much happier, though still cries when he's not 100% content. Luckily I've gotten better about diagnosing the problem faster, which means less crying.

Both have started drooling...yuck. they're a little behind on a few of the developmental milestones, but of course they're right on schedule for drooling. yay. so excited. NOT!

We survived being home alone together while Striker returned to work. There were a few rough days, but overall I think we did pretty well. I'm REALLY good at juggling and multitasking and my super planning/organizational skills have paid off. I'm a FIG according to Striker, but we'll see how he does with Mr. KFuj on Monday while KFuj and I are gone for approximately 6 hours. ;)

We had a few outings at the very end of the month to watch Striker bowl and play hockey, and to Grandma's house to watch the Super Bowl. I had a helper for all outings, but will be making a 100% solo trip this week. This next month will be spent mastering outings and refining the routine/schedule to accommodate them so that the boys aren't on a 9AM-9PM routine like they were today...more of a 7-7 or 8-8...maybe I'll shoot for 7:30-7:30?

Oh my goodness, they are too cute. Good for you to get out on your own. You'll have to take pics and blog your solo event. I've been able to stay home with all 3 by myself but going out alone. It's not even a thought. haha

Good luck on your scheduling! I love the snuggly little baby arm detail. Enjoy them :) and your day out with KFuj. You should blog the txt messages from the guys during your absence!!!

Not sure where to post this but I wanted to ask if anyone has heard of National Clicks?

Can someone help me find it?

Overheard some co-workers talking about it all week but didn't have time to ask so I thought I would post it here to see if someone could help me out.

Seems to be getting alot of buzz right now.

Thanks
