Kickin' It With The Kolberg's: Almost 3 Months Later....

Wow...having a second does really change the way I spend my time! Blogging just hasn't been on the top of the priority list these days. But now that Baby Will is becoming a little more predictable with his sleep, I feel ok when he gets a head start on me at night.

So for a Will update...his newest trick (performed once for Grant and I) was rolling from his tummy to his back. He hasn't been able to re-enact this trick yet, but I think it is coming soon. He loves to spend time laying on the floor checking out the world around him and he even enjoys his tummy time. He is growing like a weed....at his two month appointment he was 13lbs. 10oz. and 25" long! When the doctor saw him, he said "looks like you have a 4 month old here." Guess we do find the time to feed the guy :-)

Will was diagnosed with a case of acid reflux at about 9 weeks old- so life was a little grumpy until we got him on some good medication that helped out. We also had to adjust to life with less sleep....we don't remember being awake so much with Grant. However this too shall pass and it seems that with a little nudge from his parents, Will is starting to establish some better sleep habits...AMEN! Although for those of us with kids, we know that once they get into a "routine" the only thing you can count on is that it is going to change.

We just love our little Will...he has brought even more happiness into our lives. He is a smiley guy who can light up a room. Time is flying by and I can't even believe that he will be 3 months old in a week.

As for Grant- he is just the most loving, caring and happy little boy! At such a young age he knows just what to say to me to put a smile on my face. From "mommy I love you more than anything" to "mommy you are beautiful." Everything a mom and dad can ask for in a little boy. He is proving to be a gentle big brother too, who just can't wait until Will gets old enough to toss the football with him. Since school started, Grant has been busy with learning more about letters and wanting to spell out everything. With a little help of course! He especially loves this extra class he takes at school called Create n' Play. He is developing great relationships with friends at school and the feedback I get from his teachers makes me so proud. Below is a picture of Grant with his friends at a mommy lead craft day. Those are hand and feet turkeys they are holding. So cute.

Below is a great picture of Grant and Papa Steve with a bunny at his schools Oktoberfest.

We had a fun Halloween...after much thought, Grant decided on the Beaver outfit instead of an astronaut. Good choice since these days he is all about the OSU Beavers. GO BEAVS!

Will was a pea in the pod, which he really wasn't that into! I bought the costume on sale before I was even pregnant and it was fate that I had my own pea to put in the pod for Halloween :-)

In the midst of a newborn and adjusting to a new family of 4, we continue to make progress on our house. You can see this picture was taken when it was still sunny back in October sometime, so it is even farther along now. Siding is going to be complete this week and sheet rock starts tomorrow. We are hoping for a March move in date. Between now and then we have a lot of picking out and elbow grease to put into this project.

When the slab was poured in the garage, we got the troops up early and made sure the we left our mark in the wet cement! Even Will got his feet dirty!
