Week 3

We've had another fun week at home with Jason.  The first week home was a whirlwind.  The second involved figuring out life with two boys.  And this past week was practicing what we learned.  We're not ready for Daddy to go back to work, but I think we will be able to make it at home (at least for 2 days until Thanksgiving break).  Jason has been such a huge help.  I think Amos is really going to miss having Dad around all day.

Here's so action shots of them playing!

So my game plan involves waking Silas at 7 am to feed and then being ready for Amos to wake up at 7:30 am.  We've done this on our own twice now!  We shall see how it goes.  I'm not thrilled knowing that for at least the next 9 months, I will not sleep past 7 am, but we do what we must.

Silas has been doing a great job at night.  We still have a middle of the night and an early morning feeding, but he goes back to sleep right after eating, so I wake up fairly rested most morning.  This is good, because with Amos, I rarely nap.  Silas is turning into a pretty good napper too!  

I think Silas has a pretty sensitive stomach.  That bad news: salad, onion and chinese affect him.  The good news: coffee and milk do not!  Jason said that I'm going to have to go on a water and bread diet.  Let's hope not, especially with the holidays coming up!

We had a few outings this week.  On one of the warmer afternoons, we went for a walk.  It is so handy having the trail in our backyard. It's great for spontaneous walks.  Here's a picture before our walk.  Obviously, Silas loves standing up!

We also hit up the Corcoran's Pig Roast for a while on Saturday.  Silas slept most of the time, but Amos had fun playing with MaKenna in their huge yard.

Later on Saturday, we spent some time with Grammy and Gramps who were in town.  Amos was hamming it up for them.  Here he is wearing Grammy's glasses.  They almost fit his BIG head.

Lastly, I thought it would be fun to put up Amos' 3 week picture for comparison.  Check out how skinny his legs are.  Also, we're pretty sure that Silas has him beat on amount of hair.
