Happy Boy

This onsie from my friend Bridget made me laugh, and thankfully Cal thought it was funny too (I didn't want to offend him!). It's by Small Plum which makes organic bamboo clothing, so it's not only funny, its super soft too!

Snow Removal

Leyton loves to help Eric shovel every time it snows. Leyton's actually on his 2nd shovel for the winter... he worked so hard the handle broke right off the first one! (which I also take to mean we've obviously gotten way too much snow this year...) And I'm sure they'll be out there again tomorrow since we're suppose to be getting about 10 inches tonight! Leyton's wearing his new favorite hat that Grandma Krumm made him. He's worn it everyday to daycare since he got it. Every morning when I ask him what hat he wants he says "I want Grandma's hat!"

My Big Boy!

I am really happy to say Leyton is potty trained!!! For the past couple months he would go at our house all the time, but we usually had accidents if we went other places. About a month ago he started going at Julie's house with only an accident every few days, and now we're going on week 2 of no accidents at Julie's! Last week Julie sent all of his diapers home with me and it seemed so crazy- like are we really done with diapers? really?!
Leyton's been talking about wanting a buzz doll for awhile (he's in love with the Woody one from Kelly) so that's what he picked for his potty training present. Eric and him went to pick it out last night and he was so excited. He also got a big packer cookie last week for going all week with no accidents. Hopefully he doesn't expect presents every week because the buzz doll was the last one! My big boy in his big boy undies... makes me smile every time.

More Snow

We got a huge snow storm last week that buried us for a couple days! On Wednesday pretty much everything in Dodgeville was closed- even the clinic! (I know this because I happened to get a sinus infection...ugh). Anyhow, Cal had his first experience in the snowsuit and as you can see from the pictures he wasn't too happy... I don't think it was the snowsuit that he was mad about though- I think he's just sick of all this snow like his mom! Seriously, can winter be over yet?? Needless to say we didn't stay out very long, but it was still nice to get out of the house for a bit.

My thumb sucker

Cal has found his fingers in the last week or so, and his thumb in particular the last couple days. It's nice that he's beginning to soothe himself with it, so I don't always have to run for the nuk, and I think its pretty cute too! And just for fun, here's a photo of Leyton around the same age sucking his thumb:

Look-alikes

I couldn't resist getting Leyton and Cal these matching pajamas, and I have a feeling it may be just the start of more matching outfits to come! I never thought I would do that with boys, but it was pretty funny/cute seeing them in the same thing last night!

The Boys

A couple pictures of all the boys:

I am really out-numbered now- even our dog is a boy!

Play Time

Leyton has become more interested in playing with Cal lately, which is fun to see, and I think Cal sometimes enjoys it too :). He's started to smile more and more when Leyton walks up to him or starts talking to him, which makes Leyton really excited and of course melts my heart. Here are some photos of the boys:


Going in for the kiss...
Leyon showing Cal his cool Toy Story sticker book from Aunt Sue. He is seriously attached to this book... asks to take it to nap, bed, etc. And ever since Aunt Diane told him Jessie's name he is pretty much obsessed with her- talks about Jessie non-stop. I'm thinking maybe its because he thinks its funny that he has an Aunt Jessie too?? (sorry, I have no idea why these are sideways and the others are normal...)

Ok, not really a play time picture, just another picture of Leyton posing with Cal with his closed-eyes smile!
