Brothers

Noah and his sweet smile!


Ben LOVES to snuggle with Noah... it's so cute!


Hanging out in Big Brother's bed


Ben rocked Noah to sleep! No not really haha :)

I love this one :)

Ben is doing so great with Noah. He tries to give him his pacifier if it falls out or if he's crying. He also points out when he spits up. He loves to snuggle with him and kiss him and to "hold" him (which is pretty much me just propping him up on his lap). The only time he's a little mean to him is if I'm feeding Noah and Ben wants to read a book and I ask him to wait then he sometimes throws the book towards Noah. Otherwise he's very gentle.

Alaska Sea Life Center

Puffins! My favorite!

Noah and I when we stopped at Bird Point so Ben could run around


Our grouchy traveler...nap didn't last long enough and mom didn't have enough snacks to dole out!!!

A couple weekends ago we took a mini roadtrip down to Seward to go the Sea Life Center. The drive was about 2.5 hours. Didn't sound too long but felt long once we were in it! Ben did mostly fine just got a little whiny and antsy on the way out there. We had a fun time in Seward, ate lunch, visited the Center and went to a really great park. For Ben, being almost 2, his highlight was the park! The ride back would have been fine if Noah hadn't woke up Ben 1 hr into his nap... Makes for a super cranky toddler after a long day. So needless to say we were happy to be back home. Either no more long car trips or I'll just be more prepared next time!!!

Finger painting

Future Artist :)


It's more fun when you get it on your belly...


Ben's friend, Mallory, doesn't like when her hands get dirty!


Apparently, neither does Ben...


And it doesn't taste so hot!

Ben had his first finger painting experience at Mallory's house a couple weeks ago. Of course like all activites with young children the preparation and clean up took longer than the actual finger painting, but they both had fun! Ben tried to lick it and found it really didn't taste that good!

Cousins :)

So I guess I've been kind of busy because it's been almost a month since I updated but it feels like I just did it yesterday! The boys are doing good. Noah is getting big - he'll be 3 months next Thursday and weighs about 15 lbs. He is a good eater and a good sleeper. He is already sleeping through the night which is so wonderful and helps me be a better mom during the day since I'm not cranky from lack of sleep. It's funny how I haven't done anything different for the night routine between Ben and Noah but Ben didn't sleep through the night until past a year old...just goes to show it doesn't really matter what you do it just depends on the kid.
Ben is doing great being a big brother. He is very sweet to Noah, always giving him kisses. I don't have to watch him like a hawk anymore around Noah either because he rarely does anything to hurt him like he did in the beginning. Ben has developed a bit of an attitude lately though and sometimes screams bloody murder when he doesn't get his way or when we don't understand what he's telling us. It's not a full out temper tantrum and the screaming only lasts a few seconds but definitely leaves you with ringing ears!
