Diva!

I picked ri up from school and he had a flower sticker on his hand. It said "diva". He loved the sticker and kept showing it to us. Finally, Dennis asked if he was a diva and very seriously he said "yes daddy, I'm a diva!"

Riley and his stethoscope

Riley loves to play with the disposable stethoscope that was sent home from the hospital with Gavin. After his recent trip to the doctor for an ear infection, where she looked for butterflies in his ears, he started listening to us with the stethoscope. It goes like this...

"I want to listen to daddy. Open your shirt!"
(listens)
"there's a buggie in there!"
(picks an imaginary bug off the stomach and throws it)

He thinks it's hilarious. If it helps next time we go to the doctor...I'm all for it. Now if I could only find a way to desensitize from the hair clippers!!

Rileyisms

Since I've been so terrible at updating the blog...I figured I would start small. Posting things ri says that make me laugh out loud.

To start...
"come get me moke moke" (slowpoke)

Getting back to reality

This time next week I will be back at work. I decided to go back on a Thursday to ease back in, like I did with Riley. This week has been full of ups and downs. Monday night Gavin slept almost 7 hours, and Tuesday was a great day. Almost NO crying, lots of happy awake time, smiling and laughing. Then Tuesday night he started to have a cold, and was up all night with a stuffy nose. Wednesday was a low day...Gavin was very fussy with his cold. But he slept better last night, and today has been a good day. We are headed into the school later today after he wakes up from his nap. It will be good to let Gavin meet his new teachers (well not new, they are Riley's old teachers). I am comfortable with them and in the room so that helps. I plan on picking Riley up after we visit and having a nice evening together.

The electrician came out today and ran power to the back yard. That means that Delaney's garden is about to be a reality. They should be able to start work on it next week. I can't wait for it to be done so we can post pictures of it.

And baby makes 5!

Wow! Growing to a family of 5 was a big adjustment!! Gavin was born at 12:50am on January 31st. The first weeks home went speeding by, as we tried to adjust to dealing with the needs of two boys. Riley has been a wonderful big brother, and has made the transition without any trouble. Gavin has been eating well and growing like a weed. We're hoping that as he grows he'll start to sleep more soon as well!! Nikki has 3 weeks left until she has to go back to work, and then we'll have a whole new set of changes to deal with! We will TRY to be better about updating the blog...no promises though, I barely have time to shower!!!
