No Pics but at Least it's an Update...

This has been a very stressful week! Sawyer turned two the day after we returned from the mainland, two days later we found out we're more than likely having another baby boy (we'll know FOR SURE on September 3rd), then we moved our guest room/office to where Sawyer's room was, Sawyer's room to where Payton's room was (with the intention of transitioning Sawyer into the room with Payton very soon), and Payton into their new room where the guest room/office was prior. We painted, hung curtains, purchased new bedding, etc. They love their new baseball-themed room, although Sawyer isn't sleeping in there yet. We thought it would be a good idea to rid him of the paci before we transitioned him into a bed... Which is what pushed my stress meter over the edge. Let's just say after 4 days of anything but peaceful naptimes and more demanding bedtimes, he has it back. He wasn't doing terrible with the transition but all I could think about was how nice it was before we took it away. He was a great sleeper! No need for singing and rocking and book reading, etc. You just lay him in his bed and say go to sleep and that's exactly what he does. Payton use to be that way too, until we took his paci away. Ever since then he's been the biggest pain in the rear at naptime and bedtime! He gets out of bed multiple times and wants a drink and wants his door open and wants his fan on and wants his fan off, etc. I can't help but think that we took his paci away a little too soon, which spurred on these needy habits at sleep-times. So... I gave it back to him and I don't plan on taking it away anytime soon. Hopefully both he and I will be more ready when he's closer to 3. Until then, enjoy that paci Baby Sawyer :)

New Little One at 9 Weeks...

It's so crazy that at 9 weeks the baby already has a recognizable head, torso, arms and legs.

This isn't the greatest picture but I promise you, they're there :)

First Day of Summer...

Sawyer has a serious pouty lip when he's mad.

He didn't want to take turns with the hose.

Trying to get the snail out! Loves the Hose

Loving the $20 Walmart Pool...It was worth it :)

We celebrated Payton taking a nap again by going to Kailua and getting ice cream by the fountain (BTW, Payton hadn't taken a nap in almost 3 weeks).

SO FUNNY. Love those shorts, Dad :)

New Haircuts...Finally!

Sweet Baby :) He got a haircut too. I was sick of taking to them to get haircuts and then being unhappy with them afterwards. I am officially my sons' barber :)

More Pictures...

I have been so sick that the boys are enjoying their jammies a little longer than usual each day!

They've also been getting away with more than usual.

Like coloring on the couch...

And climbing in my baskets.

Is that Papa Russ hair or what?!

Loving the new desk!

Enjoying some milk with their magic straws from Grandma Ginger.

Sawyer in our new baby bassinett.

I bought it on craigslist for $20!

Isn't it great?!

Lately...

Payton is currently growing grass in this old dinosaur planter that was mine when I was little. He loves to give the dinosaur haircuts!

Isn't this desk adorable?!

A friend of mind was getting rid of it because her kids had outgrown it and I had to snatch it up! The boys already love it and it already has character from all the previous kids who have used it, so I don't have to worry about my kids messing it up! I also got this frame, which use to have an old picture in it.

I took out the picture and painted the backing with chalk board paint to create this cute chalk board! Thanks for the idea, Val!

Yesterday I found Sawyer laying in Payton's bed, all snuggled up with both of their blankies...He's such a cuddler!

In desperate need of a haircut! And a face-washin'!

Sawyer All Snuggled Up in Payton's Bed

Sawyer LOVES the barn from Papa Russ.

Oh yeah...Did I mention that I'm pregnant again?

Payton is turning into such a big boy! I love to watch him lay on the living room floor while watching a movie or TV show.

Sorry it's been so long since we've updated. Life has been busy and for some reason I haven't taken as many pictures lately. Take care!
