Liams first wedding

Liam was in a wedding almost a month ago and he did a great job. He was such a cute little ring bearer and with some help from Jason he made it all the way down the aisle and even got applause from the audience!

Colin 5 months and 6 months


Dear Colin,

Bad mom here forgot to write you a five month letter. In my defense it has been a tough couple of months, but is getting easier. You started crying ALOT and wouldn't stop. From the time you woke I would get maybe 10 minutes all day of no crying. I finally figured out you had reflux and as soon as we went back to the doctor things started changing. You have had to try a couple of different medicines, but I think we are finally on the right one. During this time you hardly slept which means I didn't sleep. It was rough little buddy, but now I am proud to say you are a little sleeping champ.  We tried sleep training a couple of times but not until after we had the reflux handled did it work. I used a slightly different method on you then on your brother, but this book really helped! http://www.amazon.com/The-Sleepeasy-Solution-Exhausted-Parents/dp/0757305601/ref=pd_sim_b_15

 You now take 2 naps with no problem and sleep from 7 am to 7pm.  I am so proud of you!! You are also almost crawling. Currently you crawl like you are a little frog moving both legs at one time and it is so beyond cute!! Your favorite person is still your big brother and you guys are starting to play together and interact. Every night before bed he gives you hug and a kiss and makes sure you get your bedtime story.  You have the sweetest personality even when you are upset you are too cute. You love to smile at everyone and love snuggling me in the morning.  Due to your reflux problems we are down to only breastfeeding once a day. It seems to work well for you to nurse in the morning and that is our special time to hang out together. You get very distracted any other time of the day. Now that Liam is back at preschool two times a week we have special Mommy Colin time which is nice. Since you are my second child we do not get as much time together so when we do we definitely make the most of it.  I love you little man and am so glad I get to spend every day with you!

Love,

Your Mommy
