August

August is one of our busiest months. In the last couple weeks we celebrated our 5-year wedding anniversry, my 26th birthday, Sean's 27th birthday, and our new baby's 8-week birthday. =) Here's a glimpse.


 Grant adores mowing the lawn with Sean. He follows him around the whole yard and absolutely loves it. He comes back in and tells me "I finished mowing the lawn mom."

 Grant and cousin Lucas sharing the Cozy Coupe. Maybe a little too cozy?

 And Preston's first (and I'm sure not last) ride in the doll stroller. Look at how happy Grant is to push him around. And look at all that hair on my little Preston. As far as I can tell, he hasn't lost any from birth.
Well we are still busy here. My definition of a successful day is...
-Both boys are fed, changed, and entertained
-Mom gets a shower
-Mom gets mascara on (that's it though)
-No one cries for more than 15 minutes at a time
-Grant doesn't watch too much PBS
 
That's how I judge my day. Whew! Some life huh?

Busy

Life with two kids is sure busy. We are getting the hang of things slowly. When both kids are fed, changed, bathed, and happy I feel on top of the world.

Grant adores his baby brother and would hold him, touch him, and tickle him all day if I let him.

 Grant has had some fun play dates with grandma which include swimming and ice cream cones in the summer heat.

 Grant is new to the bicycle world and is still working on the task of pedaling. He sure loves his helmet though so that's great for me.

 Here is out sweet baby Preston enjoying some tummy time.

Once again, adoring his brother and probably getting a little too close for comfort. =)


Grant lines up all his cars in between the stair railings. He loves doing this. When I ask him to smile for the camera this is what I get--an awkward "showing the teeth" face.

Our sweet baby is one month old here--August 2, 2012

Preston Keith Oborn was given a name and a blessing by Sean on Sunday, August 5, 2012. It was a beautiful day and so special for me as his mommy. We enjoyed time with family and yummy food too.

We attempted to get a decent family picture but it sure is tough with a two year old that races away and a newborn who makes funny faces due to his gas. This will have to do.

I love Preston's summery, little romper I found online. And even his shoes fit well--that never happens.

Here is Preston in his undershirt, all undressed and ready to eat.
