Sadie is 2 Months!

Here's my little sweet Sadie at two months old. She had her appointment yesterday and I totally forgot to take her picture, so today I put a little headband on her and used the same number stickers as Heston used.


























Here's Heston at 2 months, I thought they looked pretty similar, but now that I see the comparison, maybe she does look a little different. She has much larger eyes but still the same cheeks and mouth!

I took off the headband for this picture. My mom doesn't like when Sadie has on big bows and headbands, she takes them off as soon as she sees Sadie with them on. I love my mom, so here's a no-headband picture just for her!

 But since I took the headband off of Sadie, Heston found it and tried to get it to fit his big noggin.

 Guess it's not going to fit!

Smile Sadie!

My Two Favorite Kiddos

This last month has gone by so fast, Sadie is already six weeks old and so precious!

While I'm still getting about my normal daily routine, little things these kids do just make my day.

Here, Heston is hiding behind the curtain in the laundry room, and guess what he's doing? Pooping! Yes, his signature move. He thinks he's so sneaky. So while Heston is busy doing his business, sister Sadie just rests peacefully in her bouncer.

 Hello everyone!

 I got Heston a bug catching net from that dollar section in Target, and he thought it was the coolest hat in the world! He wore it all around the house.

 Peek a boo mom!

And while Heston pranced around as bug catcher head, Sadie was sleeping.

 I got the vacuum out this morning to spiff up the house, and Heston had to use it too-of course. So here he is wearing his blue beads and playing with the vacuum.

 Meanwhile, Sadie was awake and I happened to catch a little smile from her, sweet little thing!

 Then Heston found his play phone and had a conversation with himself as he walked around the house. He used his bubble gun for props as well.

And still Sadie sits and looks.
She's so entertained by whatever brother does, this could be a blessing or a curse!

Until next time,

Pregnancy Pictures and My Two Kiddos

My good friend Jocelyn took my maternity pictures at 7 months preggo with Sadie. She has such an eye for things, these old trucks are right here in my front yard, but I never thought they'd look this good in a picture! Anyways, here I am decked out like a Holstein cow (which is what I felt like at the time).

I'm glad I have pictures as proof and also a comparison to Heston. I kept pulling out the maternity book I made when I was preggie with Hes to see if I'd still have a big baby, ugh!

 This picture is the one I made Tom take as we were heading out to the hospital. Look how puffy I was, yucky! Granted, this was taken at 2 am, and I did my best to try and do my hair and makeup in between contractions.

 

Then here's my precious little Sadie. Born in at 9 pounds 12 ounces. And she resembles her brother sooooo much!

 Look at those Creighton ears!

 This is me the day before giving birth to Heston. Just looking back at these pictures I hurt!

 

Sadie is almost a month old and here's Heston at a month, boy how similar they are!

Heston's Adventures

With the new baby here, Heston has been into everything! I think he's testing me, and winning!


Heston loves to play in the fireplace (when there's no fire of course) and so the end result is tons of ashes and soot everywhere. He was awfully quiet the other day, and this is how I found him. He had painted himself with ashes while playing cards and then tried to put the cards into the diaper genie. Oh boy! He did such a good job painting his face, I told him he'd be an excellent makeup artist.

 Heston also likes to dress himself. So here is one of his outfits, and it matches pretty well if I do say so myself. Go Heston!

 Heston always steals shoes now. So when Tom comes home he makes it a point to at least walk around the kitchen in his daddy's boots.

 While I'm feeding little Sadie, it's much easier to have Heston play outside with the dogs and his new bubble blaster! The other day he came into the house looking like a little dirt devil and had a scrape on his forehead. I asked him what happened and he said: "Uh Oh".  Yea, that's what I thought too. He smelled of dogfood and was drenched in water, so maybe he tripped coming in. Needless to say, it was time to brush his dogfood smelling teeth and give him a bath. He wasn't too excited to wash off his battle wounds.

Then here he is out of the bath. I told you he loves shoes! Don't ever tell him there a picture of his nakey buns on the internet!

My Kid, Kids, and the Kid to Come!

Last night Tom made a fire and Heston loves to help carry the smaller pieces of firewood in for daddy. He's pretty helpful. As Tom was starting the fire, Heston was right there next to him passing him wood. As I sat in the recliner (the only chair I'm comfortable in these days) I was laughing to myself at the sight of my two favorite boys working side by side and how much they resemble each other. I mean, look at those ears! The ears have to be a dead giveaway.


Did I mention that it rained? It rained and we're oh so excited here on the farm. I don't think Heston even knew what rain was! On two separate occasions I bundled Heston up and put on his cute little rubber boots and just let him have at the rain puddles- he was in heaven! Sampson, our dog, had to be in on the action too, and Heston loved the company.

 Here at the Tom and Kristi house we had a batch of little goat kids and they're such a different color than we're used to. We got black! We let them out to run around today and stretch their little kid legs, and I love how they romp and jump, it's so cute. I told Heston to come and look at the babies and before I could turn my head, he had run over to the rock pile and starting climbing it. Clearly the rocks were way more interesting than the babies. Oh well, I enjoyed watching the kids at least.


Also, did I mention that I'm preggo? I'm currently 37 1/2 weeks and figured it was time for proof with some pictures. I asked Tom if he would take some pictures of me, and when I tried to pose by putting Heston on the ground he was not too happy. So Tom and I were laughing at the most pitiful crying face that Heston would do. So I picked him up and the sad face turned happy, and I love his smile. It melts my heart.

Since I'm so much slower these days Heston pretty much can entertain himself, and I'm amazed at what he does to keep himself busy. Yesterday, he found my stash of bags and wore one of them on his head while he walked around. He then proceeded to run into things which made me laugh, and so he laughed, hey-whatever makes him happy!

My Little Helper

As I've been organizing the nursery in preparation for this little girl, Heston has been on my heels, wanting to see everything I'm doing and wanting to help with everything in the process.

First he found her piggy bank encased in styrofoam that he needed to investigate and disassemble. I came around the corner to find pieces everywhere, he was pretty proud of himself.

Then, in my hair drawer I have black and white stretchy headbands for my bad hair/bang days, and when Heston sees me wear them he wants to try them out for himself, so this is what he ends up with and it makes me giggle each time. So stylish!

I got a pink and grey car seat cover for Heston's infant car seat, because of course this little one needs girly touches (Tom's not impressed) and Heston was definitely right there in the action to help his mom cover and re-style his little sister's seat. Oh Heston, how you keep me on my toes!
