I Might Be a Little Biased...

I've totally neglected this blog this year.  I apologize.  In my defense I've spent the majority of the last six months feeding a hungry baby and changing what feels like 100 dirty diapers every day, both of which no one really wants to hear about.  In my semi-sleep deprived state I've been unable to string together any type of coherent interesting thoughts, and I've had absolutely no motivation whatsoever to update the blog.  But Caleb is finally starting to sleep through the night now (YAY!!!), I'm starting to feel like a normal human being again (YAY!!), and my boys are pretty much the cutest little boys ever, so I figured it was time for an update.

We celebrated Alex's third birthday last month.  Time goes by so quickly!  He is getting way too big!!  He is still just as inquisitive and busy as ever.  He spends a majority of his time tearing into every drawer, cabinet, and cupboard - much to my dismay.  He's definitely found his independence, and unfortunately is becoming just as particular as his mother about certain things...(sigh)...It's often a struggle, and yes, there are plenty of tantrums, time outs, failed attempts at reasoning, and full on bribery with a sticker chart and treats going on these days.  I hear a lot of "I do it myself!" and "why?!" that on the one hand is turning my hair gray (literally, I've found a couple strands. . .) and makes me proud that my son is trying to understand this world and is motivated to find his place in it.  Having a toddler is a great exercise in patience!  Good thing he can be incredibly sweet at times.      

Caleb is growing up so fast!  He seems so much more easy going than his brother.  He is darling.  He's eating solid foods now like a champ.  He doesn't seem to like pureed foods or baby cereal much, so we've rapidly moved on to table food.  He's sitting up on his own, and (thankfully!) doesn't seem close to crawling. 

At his 6 month checkup the other day he weighs 2 lbs more than Alex did at 6 months, although Alex was always a skinny baby.  Caleb definitely has the rolls going on!   

Yep, the cutest boys ever!
