For my Husby

Jeff is always asking me why I don't love him enough to post one of those "I love my husband because he is so perfect and so is our marriage" kind of things (no offense to anyone who does - Jeff wishes you were his wife :)). Even though this post isn't exactly that, it is just for him.

The boys and I have been having some fun in the nice warm sunshine of Arizona. A much needed escape to a place not so freakin' cold and cloudy. I love the waking up to the sun shining! It makes me happy inside. The only thing missing is daddy.

I know you miss your babies so here you go honey, some love from Arizona. I hope you feel better today! Love you!

At the PHX zoo

Yep, I'm riding camel. Not so fun for me but Dylan loved it.

Baby Ty and I aren't looking so hot in this one but you take what you can get.

Papa's swimming lessons, love it!!

This would be Dylan getting dominated by Addi on the trampoline. Any one surprised? :)

"Where's Nawnaw?" His new favorite phrase.

Jackson's B-Day

My sweet baby who is getting so chubby because nurses every hour on the hour.

Home Sweet Home

Oh how I have missed my bed. My poor sweet baby Tyler has spent the last four days in hospital being pocked, prodded, and suctioned (seriously suctioned - have you ever seen a deep suctioner?). Needless to say there was zero sleep happening. Apparently the nurses, respiratory therapist, resident interns, doctors all have different schedules and can't coordinate night-time/early morning check-ins. Really though, is it really necessary for all of them to undress him, take his temperature, listen to his chest and the worst - check his blood pressure? The plastic couch-bed and the "free" hospital food didn't help. Enough complaining though, it's all over with now and I am so glad to be home with my healthy baby. I can only be grateful, so many little babies and kids have to stay so much longer, or worse, never get to leave. Anyway, I love both my boys and am so happy to have two normal, healthy kids. I guess a few days on the Pediatric floor helped to put things in perspective.

He was a pretty content and even happy baby post nasal suctioning. Notice the baby-sized hospital gown. So cute.

The "head massage." Baby gets one of these multiple times a day.

Brother

I love my two little boys! The coupon blog has taken over my life and I've neglected our family blog - sorry family. Here are a few pictures of Dylan and "brother."

So excited for church!

I know for people who have average+ size babies these thighs probably don't look chubby but compared to Dylan Tyler is a chunk! I have never had little squishy thighs with creases to love on! They are so cute to me!

This is actually the start of a big smile - I took the picture too early.

Update on Baby Ty

Has it been 4 weeks already? I can't beleive that Ty is almost a month old. So far so good - Dylan has adjusted better than I could have ever expected. Besides shoving baby's binki in his mouth, the ocasional head "rub", and trying to play catch with "brother", Dylan mostly ignores Tyler. That's good news for everyone. As far as Tyler goes, he is so NOT a Dylan baby. He's already starting to chunk up and little baby rolls on his thighs! This has to surprise anyone who has known Dylan. He keeps me up all night with his grunting and constant need to nurse every hour. Did I mention that Dylan doesn't seem to want to nap everyday anymore? Perfect timing Dylan. Anyway, life has been a little crazy at the Irish house but well worth it. Here are some pictures:
