Busy Friday Morning

Thank goodness my mom was here this morning as there was lots to do. First off, it's picture day at JR's school (that would be class picture day). Now I know I should just let him wear what he wants, and not fuss over him. But since I don't have any girls, I had to go buy him a new shirt, make sure he didn't have any food in his lunch that would stain his clothes, and gel his hair.(Yes, I even did a quick hairspray over it...I know! I know!) I even let him wear a belt today, which he was very excited about because he said he looked "just like Daddy when Daddy goes to work". Of course when picture time rolls around I'm sure he won't look anything like he did when I was finished with him. After going to the bathroom he'll never get his shirt tucked in right, and since it was freezing this morning he decided he had to wear a hat...no telling what his hair will look like. So, here he is before he left the house...
After JR got on the bus, we took the little boys to their 2-month check up. They are both growing nicely, Kyle is 10 lbs. 15 oz. and Reed is 9 lbs. 15 oz. It's amazing the difference a pound makes, Kyle is in the 40% for weight, and Reed is in the 15 %. The doctor said they both looked good. Today was also their first immunizations. Poor little things, they got one in each leg and they sure did scream. Although I did hear my mom telling Reed that he didn't cry as loud so he was the "tough one". My mom also got upset with the nurse for letting Kyle bleed. After Kyle had gotten his shots, I wrapped him in his blanket and handed him to my mom. When I went to hold Reed's hand, I had blood dripping from my own hand. We unwrapped Kyle, and there was blood everywhere. The nurse was like, "Oh, sorry, let me go get another band aid". If you know my mom, she gave the nurse that mean, scary, schoolteacher look that she does. I love that look...as long as it's not directed at me! So here are the boys at 2 months...they are really growing!
My mom left to go back home as soon as we got back from the doctor. Jason's mom is going to come and spend the weekend here since Jason won't be back until Sunday. It sure is wonderful to have help....and since the little boys both loved to be held, they like it when I have help too!

Oh my! Their looks are already changing so much! What a mean nurse...I would have totally talked to her in my "teacher-mommy voice" (as Chris calls it). I hope JR's "look" lasted until picture time 'cause he sure looks handsome!

What handsome boys! Reed and Kyle are changing and growing so fast! I'm sure JR was the best dressed boy in the class! and by the way--Go Margaret! (I'm sure her look was good enough for all of us mom-teacher folks!)
