brycen & gavin ~ 2 & 20

Wow! I stare at this photo and just wonder where the time has gone.  They are two amazing boys who I so enjoy watching grow and change.  As Fall continues to get darker and colder we are spending less and less days outdoors.  However, the ones we do continue to be filled with fun and laughter.  Here are a selection of great shots at our favorite local playgrounds.  We are still wondering where there is an indoor playground?  Maybe we should build one!

Leaf collecting in the yard!

Sporting his new winter jacket!

Buddies at the playground :)

Gavin continues to grow each day.  He is currently obsessed with stacking and building with objects in the house.  Blocks are a favorite but he will stack pretty much anything he can get his hands on.  He is also continuing to expand his vocabulary and loves to tell you stories of most we are still not sure what he is saying LOL.  

Yes that is his Motrin bottle... :/

Block stacking while momma watches The Voice :)

Brycen is getting so big too fast.  This morning I put a 6 month onesie on him and it was tight....!  Gosh he is only 2 months old!  We have his two month doctors appointment tomorrow.  This poor boy has been through the ringer.  He appears to be allergic to dairy...at least that is what we can identify.  We tried eliminating from my milk which didn't help and the blood continued in his stool.  We then tried three formulas which he had reactions to.  Now he is finally on the right track we think with another formula that is dairy free and hypoallergenic.  Then on top of all that he ended up in the ER with pneumonia.  Poor little thing...them taking blood was horrible.  He got two days of injections of antibiotics and an eight day oral treatment.  Let's hope we are on the way to recovery.  Just like Gavin you wouldn't even know he was sick except for the lack of sleep. 

In between sickness and allergies Brycen enjoys chilling in his bouncy seat and practicing sucking his thumb.  I have tried to give him a paci to calm him when he is trying to sleep, however he will have nothing to do with it.  Might be a blessing as I will soon have to break big daddy of his.

This is the shirt his daddy bought him on the day he was born!
Love this photo....it also calls to my Strawberry Shortcake collection...
