Nolan is 7 weeks, Wyatt is 16 months

Our big boy is almost two months - how did that happen?! He is getting so big and so expressive, which is very fun. He is "talking" more and reaching for things a lot. We also get tons of smiles when he is awake and full :) He is eating every 2 to 3 hours which is making mom work hard! He is already in 3 to 6 month clothes...I can hardly keep anything in his drawers before it is time for the next size up! He is a very strong boy and LOVES to be walked around in his Bjorn - a life saver when he is fussy and wants to be held.

Big brother Wyatt is doing very well - he loves his brother and is becoming much more aware of him. He will randomly come over and give him loves or point him out. He is trying to say brother, which is more than most words we try to get him to say! He is at a very willful stage (16 months going on 30 years!) - it is teaching me patience and to take deep breaths :) I have even more appreciation for my parents these days...this part of parenting is very hard. Although he pushes buttons, he is also taking so much in and learning so many new things. It is so fun to watch him figure things out and enjoy learning new things. He is so much fun to watch and we love seeing his personality come out more and more each day.

We have been getting the boy cousins in Portland together more often and it is a blast watching them play together. Their favorite things are playing cars and running around the house chasing each other and screaming/giggling. An accident waiting to happen, but what can you do :)

Life with two boys is very chaotic, but we are having so much fun! They are such a joy and we have no idea what we did without them - they are pure entertainment :)

Love,

The Bales
