Cereal time

Well the doctor said we could try Caleb on cereal now. He's taking in about 40 0z. of formula a day (yes he's a big eater). He's holding his head up quite steadily and is very alert so he believes he's ready. He's had it 3 nights so far. Although it hasn't helped him sleep through the night yet, it is helping. He's been making it to 4:30 or 5:00 and I think he would go longer if he had shades in his room. We got new windows and they aren't quite finished so the shades are down right now. Caleb isn't sure about the texture of the cereal yet, but Isaac was the same way. Here's a short video.

Caleb is 4 months old now!

I can't believe he's 4 months already. It's amazing how fast time is flying now. Caleb is a really good baby. We're still working on sleeping through the night. He had started doing it a month ago or more but he seems to get pretty hungry in the night. The doctor okayed us to start cereal since he's drinking so much formula during the day and he is holding his head up really well and very alert. Hopefully he'll start sleeping through the night very soon. At least he only gets up once, that we can handle.

Caleb is now 15 lbs 3 oz and 26 inches long. He is in the 90th percentile for length and 50th for weight. I compared measurements with Isaac at this age and Caleb is 1 lb bigger and 1 inch longer. I'm afraid we're going to have to transition Caleb to the convertible carseat soon. The maximum length for the infant carrier is 26 inches and he's so heavy to carry in it.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN LOVE ISAAC & CALEB

Well we didn't take them trick or treating or anything. I found 2 cute costumes at the consignment shop and had to get them so that I could get a couple pictures. Maybe next year we'll go around to all the businesses. The boys weren't even at daycare on Halloween. They spent the day with Mommy and Grandma. Of course the boys were wearing their Halloween shirts! Isaac's was one that had lights and he was pretty impressed with it. Anyway, here is the cutest little Giraffe and Tigger I've ever seen!

Caleb's fall pictures

I took a few pictures of Mr. Caleb outside. Of course we had a really windy weekend and all the leaves I had piled together were scattered. It was quite sunny too and the sun makes Caleb's hair look really red. I don't think he'll have red hair though, I think he'll have blond hair.

Isaac's 1st combine ride

On Isaac's birthday Ross happened to be combining corn at our place so I put on his John Deere sweatshirt and we headed out to the field. I got to ride too so Isaac would sit on my lap. I tried to get some good pictures but the flash was reflecting off of the window and I didn't have time to try and figure my camera out. I think the picture of Ross and Isaac from the side is really cute even if Isaac wasn't looking. Hopefully next year both boys will get to go.

Isaac's check up

Isaac had his check up today. He is growing right on schedule. He now weighs 20 lbs 11 oz. and is 30 1/4 inches long. He's in the 50th percentile for height and 25th percentile for weight. He's really slimming down now that he is so mobile. This boy never slows down. He's been on milk for a couple weeks. We're trying different things to get his constipation under control but so far he seems to love it. He drinks so much more then he did formula. I can imagine the formula didn't taste so well. Everything else seemed fine, he's just a happy, healthy little toddler now.

Happy 1st Birthday Isaac Avery!

I can't believe our baby is ONE! This past year has gone by so fast. It's amazing that a little over a year ago we had no children and now we have two wonderful little boys. Isaac amazes us each and every day with everything he learns. He is turning into quite the toddler with an amazing personality. We are so blessed to have him in our lives. Sunday we had a birthday party for him. Grandma and Grandpa B, Grandma and Grandpa K, Uncle Nolan, Aunt Gina, Uncle Brad, Cousin Caden, Great Grandma and Grandpa W were able to make it. Isaac loved his cake and presents. Thanks everyone for making Isaac's 1st birthday a memorable one!

Caleb and Bjorn

This weekend my brother Ryan, his wife Michelle and two of their kids Norah and Bjorn were down for the weekend. It was good to see them. Baby Bjorn has grown so much. Caleb and Bjorn are a little less than 5 weeks apart. It is so fun to compare them and see the difference in size. Although I must admit that Bjorn is catching up fast. I took a few pictures them. They are so cute!

Isaac's Fall pictures!

Well it took about 3 different days of attempting to take fall pictures of Isaac. We couldn't get a nice day until today. Isaac also has a cold so we had to wipe his nose every 10 seconds. Anyway here are a few of the fall pictures.

Thank you Aunt Erin!

Aunt Erin isn't able to make it to Isaac's birthday party on Sunday, so she brought his present last weekend. He got a cool penguin and hammer set. He MAY have given the impression he liked the wrapping paper best of all, but trust me he loves his toys! He continues to play with them. He loves hitting the Penguin and just giggles all the time!

First Haircut!

Well I gave in and we took Isaac to the salon for his first haircut. His bangs were so long I decided it was time to get them trimmed. I had Donna who does my hair cut his hair. We weren't sure how Isaac would do so we decided to have him sit on my lap which was more fun for me anyways!!! He was such a good boy during his haircut. I couldn't part with the curls in back so we decided to let them be for a while. I can't believe how grown up he looks now. He looks like such a big boy!!!

Getting ready for the haircut!


Looking to see what is going on!


Getting the scissors out!


And we begin...
