Finn is such a sweet babe (of course!), and we're enjoying every moment with him. I have started back to work very part-time, and although I like being back to work, it's still hard leaving both my boys for very long!

Oliver, our badass baby:

Finn having fun at the indoor playground:

Oliver found a bouncy room full of 'punching bags'. Needless to say, he was in heaven!

He played pretty hard!

Happy baby!

sweet brothers:

12 pounds, 10 ounces!

that's how much our chunky 6 week old weighs (with his diaper on)!

One Month!

We have survived one month of 2 under 2!

Oh, and here is Oliver at one month old - look like brothers?

talk talk talk talk talk....

Oliver is definitely starting to jabber more and more, and starting to make sense! (Even to those who aren't around him all the time.)
His favorite thing the past couple days has been saying "bye-bye". To EVERYTHING!
"Bye-bye baby!"
"Bye-bye daddy!"
"Bye-bye car/bird/bug/tractor/noise-that-means-motorcycle-or-truck!"
And this morning, as I was dumping his poop down the toilet, he waved and said "bye-bye poop!"

my lazy post

Not enough time to actually post about anything...so here are some photos!

First bath!

Kisses from big bro:

Oli and Ian enjoying spring!

Oli hunting for Easter eggs at Aunt Becky's house:

Finn was super excited:

The Easter bunny came in the afternoon at our house (the boys shared a basket):

Smiling after Oliver kissed him:

Oli and Grandma Holly opening another Easter basket:

Oliver likes the wrap, too!

What I get to sleep next to every night!

Photos!

Our professional birth and newborn photos are now up online, if you want to check them out!
I'm not a huge fan of the newborn pics - the photos themselves are great, but Finn's skin was at the height of its peeling, so he kinda looks a mess. But still adorable!
And a warning: The birth photos may show more than you want to see, so you might choose to skip them. (The newborn photos are first.) I am naked in some, and you won't see everything, but you will see my bare breasts. And there are a few shots of the placenta, which some people might not have the stomach for (but it's an amazing organ!).
(UPDATE: The photos are no longer viewable - ask me how to see the birth photos if you're interested!)

2 weeks (plus a few days...)

Hmm, with two kiddos it's even harder to keep up with the blog! Who woulda thought?!
Jessica, our midwife's apprentice, came out to see us on Monday. Finn is up to 10 pounds, 6 ounces! He and mama are both doing great!
Oliver continues to love on his little bro all the time - giving kisses and hugs, covering him up with blankets, giving him his pacifier (and trying to steal it sometimes, too!). Oli is struggling during the day when Ian is at work or sleeping, as he doesn't have the one-on-one attention he is so used to. But we are sure we will all adjust soon!
Finn is such an easy baby - or it just seems that way since we've been through all the newborn stuff before. He's sleeping great (no, not 'through the night'), eating like a piggy, and really starting to take an interest in the people around him (and the ceiling fan). Mammo (my mom) insists he smiled at her the other day.
Our friend Tera stopped by the other day and took some great photos of the boys - here are a few!
