Blessing Day

We blessed Gatlin on Sunday the 23 of August. Brandon even got to speak that day! Lucky him! The blessing was beautiful and both sets of grand parents were here! Thanks to Gary and Shawna for coming! Thanks to Jason for standing in the circle! It was great to have everyone! Gatlin decided to fill his pants twice during the blessing and all the guys could barely keep it together! They all came down smiling...way to be Gatlin! Thank heavens it didn't explode onto his blessing outfit! (Don't worry Ashley, it's unmarred!) After the blessing we went to Gabe and Aleana's for lunch! Thanks for the house you guys! It was a great day and great to be with family and friends!

Flashbacks

Just more proof that our boys are identical! Javin is in the winter clothes and Gatlin in the summer clothes! I have flashbacks when I look at Gatlin sometimes!

Although, Gatlin is bigger than Jav was at this age. Gatlin had his one month check and was 22 3/8 inches long and 10 lbs. 9 oz. He has put on 4 pounds since we brought him home! Porker! He eats like crazy!

In the swing of things...

Life with 2 kids is turning out to be tiring, busy, and so much fun! I'm not complaining...Gatlin goes to bed between 1030 and 11, gets up to eat at 3, and sleeps until around 7am. I'm fortunate, I know. He also is just content to sleep and hang out! He's very laid back! He eats 4 oz every 2 1/2-3 hours (and doesn't spit up)! He put on over 1 pound in 7 days and grew almost 1 full inch!

Javin has taken to Gatlin! He must know where he is at all times. He is constantly patting his head and giving him kisses. He is such a great big brother. Gatlin was crying the other day and then he went silent. Jav came running into the kitchen with his hands in the air saying, "I did it! I did it! Binky!" He gave him his binky and it was just what he wanted!

It takes longer to get out the door...especially when I am alone, but I'm adjusting pretty good! Thank heavens Jav still sleeps in the afternoon for 3-4 hours! Let's hope he keeps that up for awhile!

Brandon is loving his boys! So much fun to be a dad to 2 boys! Work is busy but that's good for us! We are so happy!
