Do Not Disturb

I have decided to collect pictures of the boys sleeping in funny places and positions. Here's what I captured in September and October:

GUESS WHO?

He is 2 months old today...

He is 13+ lbs and 23 inches...

He has almost grown out of his 0-3 month clothes...

He is almost in size 2 diapers...

He drinks about 5oz every 2 hours...

He is getting very strong leg and arm muscles...

He is gaining awesome neck control...

He has a gorgeous smile...

He still gets a bit cross-eyed when trying to focus...

He is sleeping through the night...

He is a major cuddler...

He doesn't let his mama get anything done while he's awake...

He often pees in his own face during diaper changes...

He uses his tightly clenched hands as lint traps...

He enjoys his baths from Gangy...

He's the chunker I always hoped for...

He's slowly winning over his big brother (keyword being slowly)...

He is...

FINN!

We are so happy to have Finn in our family. It has been a MAJOR adjustment, but it's definitely worth it. It's crazy getting to know a whole new person. He has so many differences from Killian already. I can't wait to learn more about who he is and what he's like. So far he is pretty sweet (as long as we do exactly what he wants). I love our morning couch cuddle time. I love how solid he is - not fragile like most babies his age. I am happy that we made it through the toughest part! (The first month, in my opinion, is kind of hell.) I am usually a bit eager for him to be older (like 6+ months), but sometimes I wish he would slow down.

I love you, Finny Finn Finn!

For my brother who poops in da wash

Don't you just love inside jokes? Without explaining the pooping-in-da-wash part, for those of you who don't already know the background, I am referring to my brother Brett. Every time I see Brett I can expect to hear, (picture the following asked in a bratty tone),"When are you going to update your blog?" So, Brett, here is a new post. Now get off my tail, you'll make it dirty.

How about a PICTURE LOADED POST!? (yay!) The pics are not in any real order...blogger likes to make that a difficult task, and I don't feel like fighting it.

ENJOY!

We recently enjoyed Freddy Hill Farm's Fall Fest with Me-Mom and Pop-Pop

Killian "driving" the tractor

He loved the pumpkins

Killian and Pop-Pop by the barn

Wrapped up nice and snug against Mama in the Moby wrap

We both love it

What I wake up next to during morning snuggle time

Yawning

What Finn looks like if he has to wait a minute for food

Pucker up!

ROAR!

Killian being "soft soft sweet"

At this rate, Finn will be holding Killian by Christmas

Killian trying to taste Finn?

Killian likes to mimic the funny faces he sees on Yo Gabba Gabba

Finn smiles! (much sooner than Killian did, I would like to note)

Intense staring contest

Cuddling on Daddy (after winning the contest)

Baby fingers

Baby feet! (Tim - Do you still want to snap off one of those toes for a nibble? I do!)

Baby Cheeks!

Chillin' in the sun

Killian had a nasty mosquito bite that swelled like crazy and make him look like a Star Trek character for a few days

I love this geuine smile (please ignore the dirty face)

Finn in any seated position + Gravity = this face

Nice and calm in the Moby

Finn's first bath! (Thanks, Gangy)

After the bath
Finn's first time meeting Super-Nana

Hanging out in the Carlins' yard

That's all for now, folks!

A Lazy (but good) Post

If you have not seen "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog" yet, go to Hulu.com right now and watch it! (Or wait until you have about 45 minutes to spare...) But for now, watch this clip on YouTube of my favorite song: "On the Rise". (I apologize that I don't know how to embed videos yet...I think it involves having a YouTube membership, which I have not yet done.)

Click Here!

It's sooo pretty, right?? I hope you like it, because it's probably going to be in your head for a bit!

If that one didn't tickle your fancy try this one: "A Man's Gotta Do.."
(Make sure you listen all the way till the end of the song to catch Killian's favorite one-word line in the whole video...)

Click This One - I Dare You!

Introducing...

Want to Be a Winner?

There is a chance that I will be induced tomorrow, August 22nd. That could mean that the baby would arrive on the 22nd or the 23rd, depending on how everything goes. Of course there's a chance that I will be sent home without an induction, but we're trying to think positively :)

So now it's time to make your guesses! Just leave a comment with your answers numbered 1-7 to go along with the questions below. Whoever gets the most answers correct will get a prize. (The prize is yet-to-be-determined, but will be very desirable. Everyone will envy you.)

1) When will Carlin boy #2 arrive? (the date)
2) What time will he arrive? (exact time, including am/pm)
3) What will his first name be?
4) What will his middle name be?
5) How much will he weigh?
6) How long will he be? (from head to feet)
7) Will he have visible hair on his head?

We will keep you posted with pictures and information as soon as we can, but you must get your answers in beforehand!! SO HURRY UP THE CAKES!
