They're growing up!

I have to say my boys are really growing up so fast. Carson's officially truly potty trained. He doesn't like to wear his "big boy underwear" to bed, only during the day....great huh? He doesn't wear pull-ups at all anymore, he's even going through the night without any accidents. We have him officially broken! whew! finally!
Maddox is really getting big. He doesn't like to sit much, he would much rather stand. We got him the bumbo seat and he's sitting for about 2 seconds and then he arches his back out to straighten himself out, and he just about comes out of it. That lasted all of 2 weeks for us. He's very strong and is steady when he's holding our hands to stand up.
Carson is just full of all kinds of sayings these days. It's something new everyday.
We're so blessed with these boys. I can't even imagine my life without them or Garrett in it! Sure would be dull, let me tell you!
More to come!

Maddox is 4 months old!

Today Maddox is 4 months old. He had his check-up today and he's doing very well! He's 14 lbs. 2 1/2 oz. and is 25 3/4 inches long. He's in the 75th percentile for height and he's still a slight amount underweight for his height. She doesn't want us to give him any more than 5 oz. of formula at one time. he's been taking rice in his bottles since 2 weeks old for his acid reflux, it keeps the food down and doesn't come back up when it's thicker. So, instead of upping his bottles, which she believes will make him throw up, she wants us to begin introducing foods. Fruits and veggies for now. So, we're going to attempt some food on a spoon if he can do it. Just a few bites a day to try to make up for the formula he wont' be getting. Something to keep him full. He's doing very well. he's grabbing his feet, many facials, and is sleeping about 9-11 hours each night. He's just wonderful.
Carson has been just a joy these days too. I think it's terrible 3's. Although, he has gone for 2 full nights and 2 full days in "big boy underwear" so there are some congrats around here for him! Daddy took him to get a toy for doing so well. he's not even wearing pull ups at night at all. So he's officially going to help us save some diaper money. Whew. His vocabulary is something else. He likes to say "yesternight" and "sausage hamburgers"..........it's interesting trying to figure out his language. We have more fun with our kiddos. Both are wonderful and we're so blessed with our healthy baby boys!

Holidays and More

We had a wonderful Christmas and New Year. I haven't posted too much since I have officially taken over someone's full time job since they laid her off. I am currently doing a desk job and a field job. I don't know if I'm coming or going during the week, but i'm happy to just have a job.
The boys are doing well. Maddox will be 4 months old on the 14th, and he's got his check-up on Thursday where I will post how big he's getting.
They have doubled his dose of his medicine and seems to really be helping him out a lot. It makes a huge difference for him.
We are thinking Maddox might get car sick or something since he cries everytime we get in the car and drive. He's just fine when we're out of the car, but we can't figure what his problem is when driving. Carson loves the car but not Maddox.
Carson's really been something else.He's so full of energy. I am telling you, it's terrible 3's though. He's something else. The temper, the "no" we get, etc. is just a little dose of our days here with him.
He's great with Maddox though, they just love each other.
