19 months and 3 months
My boys are both growing up super fast and frankly I don't like it..... well... I do, like it, but it makes me sad.
Owen is 19 months, and actually now having small conversations. He can talk to us, not just say words.... He sits at the dinner table with us now and eats like a big boy. Not sure when this happened, he just sat there and ate not making a huge mess, most of his dinner went in his mouth with his fork and everything. He loves sitting at the table with us, he thinks he is SO big.
Owen has become very used to our daily schedule, he knows what comes next for the most part. He knows when dad comes home its dinner time- he heads straight to the table and gets in his chair. I personally think this is SO cute! But sometimes Dad works late and we eat dinner with out him, then when he comes home Owen will still head straight into the dining room and climb in his chair...
Both kids have been taking great naps and I really feel like I have a hang of parenting TWO wee ones. I actually think i have a better hang of it than I did with just owen at 3 months. I guess because now I am a "PRO" -right? I've done this before. :)
Holden is growing like a freak'in weed! He is wearing 9 month clothes because is is Super long. Looks like maybe he got his height from his daddy. It seems so weird having such a big baby, Owen was and is still very small... I believe they we will the same size in year or two.
Holden is holding his head up and actually trying to scoot on the floor during tummy time. Maybe he's trying to keep up with the big brother... but he seriously needs to slpw down before he gives me a heart attack.
Well- my time is up... there is a baby calling my name :)

17-18 months & 2 Months
So finding time to sit down and write what each kids is up to is SO tough. When I actually have "me" time... sitting at the computer is the last thing that I want to do.
It just seems crazy that 17 months have come and gone SO quickly. I feel as though each month is going faster and faster. So I now have a 17 month old and a 2 month old. WOW... that seems SO crazy to me.
Owen just had his 18 month check-up while Holden has his 2 month and the stats were:
Owen 22 lbs. 30.5 inches.... still a pip squeak.
Holden 12.4 lbs 24 inches long... Tall and thin...
Owen you are a learning machine lately. You ask what EVERYTHING is... and when I tell you, you try your best to repeat what I said... so I am not really sure how many words you actually know anymore. The last time we counted it was over 50.. then i quit counting. (this was words you use correctly to name/label).
You just got your first haircut, by mom.... it was kind of tough.. you wouldn't sit still AT ALL, and seemed somewhat affraid of the scissors coming that close to your head... which is funny because you will sit very still and let me cut your fingernails, and toenails.. maybe because I have been doing that since you were born at least once a week... not really sure. You are cutting your 4 "eye" teeth and it was BAD in the beginning but you seem fine now. You have been sleeping a little bit more... but hopefully thats because you are GROWING :). You have started to eat alittle bit better.. and we have been letting you sit at the table with us in a booster chair... you seem to like it and you make a much smaller mess.. (I hate cleaning the high-chair)
I have begun looking into pre-school programs for you next year. Registration for most begin in the next 2 weeks- I love the MMO program you are in now, but i think you need more than one day a week. So i have scheduled a few tours to see what else is out there.
Next week we are headed to NC... this will be your brothers first trip... I am hoping for an easy enoyable car ride... FiNGERS CrOSSED :)
At 2 months Holden is a growing MACHINE. he has almost grown 5 inches since he was born... that is CRAZY! Holden is a very calm baby, and he loves to giggle, coo, and smile... pretty much all the time. He is smiling or sleeping :). Holden is a good sleeper for the most part waking once, and sometimes twice to eat.. But usually sleeps 6 hours straight when he first goes down.
Holden rolled over twice when he was 6 weeks old... but we have yet to see him do it again... i really don't think he actually ment to roll... he seemed SO surprised by his actions. He likes to lay on his stomach and hold his head way up high.. he just looks around and laughs... he must think we are all REAL silly... b/c he laughs at us all the time, especially Owen.
I can already see love in Holden's eyes for his big brother.. When Owen tries to play with him or lay beside him on the floor... Holden has the biggest grin a 2 month could.
It is one of my favorite things to see... Those boys already LOVE each other so much!
Well... times up.. I have a million things to do while BOTH kids are napping....(that never happens)
XOXOX

Holden is one month old!
WOW! Time sure does fly when your having fun! Holden is one month old, and getting bigger by the second.
I think time is going even faster now with two kids to keep me busy...
ONE MONTH: 22.25 inches, 10.8 lbs
At one month:
Holden you are a mover... you were when you were in my belly so no surprises here.. you are rolling onto your side and are very close to rolling all the way over, I thinking if you had more time on the floor with out big brother trying to "play" with you; you would already have this mastered.... You are holding your head up and looking around. Owen completely fascinates you, you will follow him with your eyes all over the room. I'm thinking its because he moves so quick? You are smiling and we just heard your first little giggle.
You are a great eater, and so far a pretty good sleeper too... I guess those go hand in hand.... you eat well... and then you pass out- sleeping anywhere from 3-6 hours at a time.. (I appreciate this more than you know!)
You love the bath, your play mat, and the bouncy chair...
You are wearing 0-3 months clothes for the most part... outfits with feet you are almost too long for the 0-3 months, but anything any bigger swallows you. You are so long and skinny.
Holden, you have brought such JOY to our family. I can't now imagine life with out you here. You have made our family of 3 into a family of four and things feel so complete. I have enjoyed watching Owen become a caring, nurturing,& loving big brother too. You can see the love in his eyes. He has to check on you all the time, and if you begin to whine or cry he is the first to your side. He also loves to show you off when we have visitors. He can now say "brother" and he points at you. You are one lucky guy to have such a wonderful big brother.

16 months!
Owen turned 16 months on Tuesday and Holden was 2 weeks old on Tuesday!!!
WOW! I already can't believe how fast things are going..... I believe with Owen I was still laying on the couch wondering what my body had been through.... so to say it was easier the second time around would be an understatement... EVERYTHING has gone so much smoother and I feel so much better than after Owen. Maybe because I knew what to expect?
Ok... So my dear Owen, you are 16 months old... where did the time go! You are now a BIG brother, and you are being a great big brother so far... You are trying to help out in any way you can... and your favorite thing to do is kiss and pat your baby brother..
Now you don't like that mommy and daddy sometimes cover Holden up in "your" blankets... but right now you think everything is "yours", and you should... everything HAS been yours and now all of a sudden there is someone using them... You don't get too upset, you just try and take them away... once we tell you no, you don't really care.
You are growing up a storm, and I am seriously getting slack now for not cutting your hair.. so maybe we will do that soon.
You still only weigh about 21 lbs... but you are getting taller for sure, i am noticing it in your clothes. you were wearing 12 month everything and some 18 month shirts(and they were a little big) i am now noticing that those 12 month onsies are getting too short, and can barely be snapped. You can not wear any of your 12 month pj's anymore either.
You are talking up a storm... over 30 words the last time we counted... and you add more each day.. two new words are plane and train.
You have figured out how to go down the stairs now on your bum..but you still wait for mom or dad to go with you.
You are still sleeping great, most days taking 2 naps, and sleeping through the night. You are trying to give up one of those naps, but I still put you down to rest, you don't complain, you will just play in your crib and relax if you don't actually nap. Once you are bored of that you will call for me or your dad to come get you. I loved hearing your little voice calling for myself or your dad.
You are one loving little boy. It makes me so happy to have a little boy who loves to snuggle, hug and give kisses to us. We just love it!
xoxox

15 months!
Owen,
15 months have come and gone so quickly Owen, and oh how you have changed. You and your little brother are supposed to 15 months apart... that means his arrival should be any DAY! I can't believe you are going to be a big brother! I know you are going to be such a good big brother, because you love babies and are very interested in other children. I can't wait to see the bond you and your brother Holden have and the similarities and differences between the two of you. Let's just hope one thing you have in common is sleeping... it will be very difficult for us to have a non sleeper after you have been a GREAT sleeper.
At 15 months you:
- say over 20 words! I stopped counting when we got to 20 at the doctor the other day.... That is fabulous! You talk all the time and let us know your opinion on the situation.
- You can point out your nose, mouth, ears, eyes, & feet- we are working on other body parts but you seem to get confused when we add any more to the mix.
- You LOVE the outdoors and want to be outside ALL the time. I am not sure how this winter is going to go with you not being able to play outside.
- You are a climbing fool... climbing anything you can, you are not afraid of of falling at all, and this scares me- we are currently trying to figure out how to secure some of our big pieces of furniture- b/c we have found you working your way up.
- you weigh 21 lbs and are 30.5 inches tall.... You are so busy that gaining weight is tough.. you are a pretty good eater. You eat lots of fruit and yogurt-those are your favorites, but you also like most vegetables and pasta. You are not a fan of meat and cheese.
Owen, you make me happier than I ever thought possible. I am thoroughly enjoying being able to stay home with you and watch you grow and learn new things each day. We have so much fun, and your dad is loving everything about you too. You now run to him and give him hugs and kisses as soon as he gets home, and you don't leave his side until its time for bed. You are 100% in love with your daddy - which I love. I love watching you two together it makes my heart smile.
Well next month I will be posting about a 16 month old- and a BIG BROTHER... CRAZY!
I love you sweet boy!
