Brothers

I love this picture too much not to post it to the blog. Especially to look back at when there are going to be those times where they don't love each other this much at times :)

Kayden has been SUCH a good big brother. He is the best of the best. He loves to give Mykah his paci when he is crying, Mykah is the first thing he goes to when he gets home from school, and the cute little way he says his name when he sees him for the first time after being gone is just adorable. He loves holding Mykah and giving him kisses. He tries to give him his stuffed animals and wants him to be able to play with his toys so bad. He loves when I let Mykah lay on the floor and will come and lay down right next to him. Mykah loves hearing Kayden's voice. Many times if Mykah is fussy, he quickly stops if Kayden comes over and talks to him. Kayden absolutely adores Mykah and I hope that love never fades. I know that there will be those times where they fight and don't get along, but I hope they always have this love for each other and a bond that is unbreakable. I love my boys!

Halloween 2012

Since I was home this month on maternity leave, I decided I would make Kayden a Thomas the Train costume. The ones that I could find in the stores were huge and they just weren't very cute so we decided to be crafty. I found a tutorial from Pinterest on how to make one and went from there. I figured he would not keep it on, but surprisingly he was SO excited to wear it and kept it on all night! He loved his choo choo! And I'm glad considering the time I put into it! Mykah was a giraffe like Kayden was for his first Halloween. (Sorry Mykah... I promise this will be the only year you have a hand me down Halloween costume!!) :)

We went over to Nick's parents house first since they live close to us and went trick or treating down their street with cousin Avery!

We then went over to my parents house to see Cinderella (aka Audrey) and a cute little pumpkin (Olivia). Once Paige puts those pictures on facebook I will add some to the blog! Over all Kayden seemed to LOVE halloween. Of course, he wanted to eat each piece of candy when someone gave him some so we had to distract him each time! It was so fun to see him people to really participate and have fun with it this year! Can't wait until there are 2 to do this with!!

2 month stats!

Mykah's 2 months old!
10 pounds 6 ounces
23 inches long

for a comparison- Kayden at 2 months:
10 pounds 12 ounces
22.5 inches long

Mykah had 4 shots and an oral vaccine. Nick had to go with me and I had to leave the room when it was time for shots. I do not do well with the 2 month shots for some reason. I had to leave with Kayden too. There is just something about a little 2 month old getting shots and screaming bloody murder that I just can't handle! He was so pitiful :( We do not give Tylenol before vaccines because studies have shown that giving Tylenol before vaccines and too soon afterwards can cause the vaccine to not work like it is suppose to. Mykah did really well without any Tylenol until about 7:00 that night. We did not have any infants pain reliever so Nick had to go out and get some because Mykah just was screaming and screaming and nothing would console him. About 10 minutes after giving him pain reliever, he fell asleep and slept soundly for 3 hours before it was time for him to eat again. Thankfully, that was the only dose we had to give him and he hasn't had any problems since. I HATE 2 MONTH SHOTS!! :) I can't believe this sweet boy is already 2 months old, and that there are not that many weeks left before I go back to work!
