date night

Let me start by saying, I need a date night.  with my husband.  For those who don't know, he's really funny, cool and super fun to be around.  And I think I'm fun to be around, but you wouldn't know by how much the brothers stress me out lately!  whew, I'm no fun post 5pm. or really anytime I don't have caffeine.  But for starters, I really just need to get out of this house.  So on Saturday night, since we couldn't work out a babysitter (any takers?).. I had the privilege of going on a triple date with all my boys.  and it was lovely.

We wanted to go ice skating in downtown St. Paul, but it was waaay chaotic and crowded.  Leyton wasn't having that, so we just walked around, enjoyed the ice sculptures, live music, all that.

 

love this.

 

We then went to Punch Pizza and loved every bite.

 

the night ended with a perfect snuggle date with my gentleman.  chivalry is not dead.

 

thank you boys!

Finn

The photogenic one of the family.. mr. handsome!

Brothers, Week 3

I promise Leyton does smile and laugh a lot.. he just never lets me photograph those moments.  And to his defense, I was forcing this picture right before nap time.  and he loves his naps!

This picture cracks me up.. tis life with boys.

tummy time and haircuts

Today was one of those days.  One of those days where I'm feeling grossly sick, Leyton is teething and drooling all over the place (weird), Finn is just high maintenance and I'm doing everything I can to not look at the clock and count down the minutes til this day is over.   It's one of those days where I banish any guilty thoughts of Leyton watching 3 rounds of Elmo.  and one of those days where I made it through the whole day without showering, brushing my teeth or changing my shirt after I was spit up on.  come on now, really.. don't you want this life Erin? :)

This day brought on those feelings that are inevitable in this life of a mom.. Is this really my life now?  Will I ever go out again?  Will I ever look halfway decent again?   Can I pleeease stop changing diapers?  But.. tomorrow is a new day.  (and we're going to the zoo!!)

I'm very ready for nicer weather and for the sun to shine.  And to be brave enough to venture out with two crazies.  Until then, we'll stay inside and keep ourselves busy..

start by staring at lil' Finn!

 

 

working on his neck strength with some tummy time.. lazy boy :)  

and playing with the big boy Leyton!  (seriously!  he's huge!)  

He also had his first big boy haircut.  He has a great shag going on most of the time, which ends up turning into a serious mullet if you don't watch it.  It bugs his ears a bunch too, so my mom cut it!  He looks like a little 80's boy with it longer in front and short on the sides.  I love it!

but, this day is I'm sure much better for aunt Britt!  Happy 24th birthday Britt! We love you!

Brothers, Week 2

I love their little bodies and their little diapers.  Oh, these sweet moments.

I couldn't choose just one.. they're just so funny.

 

Leyton is mesmerized by Elmo. and Finn, the window.  ooooh.

and the days keep coming..

Happy one month, Finn

Little Finn is one month old today!  I still can't believe he's here.. I'm still getting used to say his name.  and calling him my son.  and talking about the brothers.  But at the same time, it makes perfect sense and I can't imagine anything different!

At one month, Finn is eating and sleeping like a champ.  He's awake more during the day and falling into a nice schedule of eating about every 3 hours.  He still wakes up twice at night and those nights are not always easy.   Sometimes he'll stay up for a little while after he eats, which is very tiring!   He has moments after he eats where he grunts and seems pretty uncomfortable, like his stomach doesn't feel right.. We're trying some probiotic drops now, and they do seem to help!  Not nearly as bad as Leyton's acid reflux, but these Prosser boys sure have digestive problems :)

He's a very noisy eater, a noisy sleeper and has cute little, high pitches noises that he makes.  He definitely smiles, but it's hard to tell what he's smiling at.  You can just tell he's very content.   He's been working on tummy time and also locking his sweet eyes on the animal mobile.  He also likes his baths in the whale tub!  So cute.

I love love having two boys and just love my sweet Finn.  Everyday is a treat with this little guy!

We love you buddy!
