Blastball, 2 months, and a trip to the zoo

Where in the world did the month of Sept. go? Here it is almost Halloween, Thanksgiving (by the way my favorite holiday) will be right around the corner, and before we know it Christmas is here! Wow!!! Our month has been busy.

Connor started blastball (tee ball but the kids only run to first base and no one gets out:)) At our first game it was a bit warm outside and Connor was ready to go home after his first at bat. We talked about not being a quitter and finishing what he started. With a quick small bag of fruit snacks and a sip of Gatorade he was back and ready to play.

Connor has the blue glove on and he is standing in the dugout. Waiting on the other team to hit the ball. He wears his hat like my brother and my grandfather. A little cocked to the side. James also said this is the way him and his grandfather wore their hats:)

Ian is growing like a little weed. Still not at the same speed big brother Connor did, but gaining weight and SMILING all the time. We finally have his reflux under control (we think). He is going to continue breathing treatments twice a day until his 4 month check up. Dr. wants to make sure he doesn't aspirate into his lungs. He is sleeping from about 9:30 pm to 6 am. I can't complain. He is such a blessing and big brother is warming up and beginning to be a big help to me. He weighs 11 pounds and 7 ounces and is 22 inches long. He coo's and 'talks' all the time. He loves to be in the bath tub and kick and play. He will not take a bottle, doesn't like the pacifier, but LOVES to suck on his hands:)

Ian is stretching. I have a running rule. If it is after say 3:30 pm and we have some kind of accident and it ruins our clothes...I usually don't put anything back on him until bed time. He loves to lay around in his diaper with his blankets.

Here is the big 2 month old!

Yesterday was our first official trip to the zoo. The boys were great. Ian slept in his stroller, watched the birds fly by, and was a happy little camper. The zoo was not crowded at all so the kiddos got to run and play and we didn't have to worry as much about them than if it were crowded.
