1st Trip to Warner Robins

We just got back from a wonderful vacation with Gigi and Grandad in Warner Robins! We headed down on 9/20 and we only had to stop one time (Nashville) for dinner/gas. The boys did amazing!

We spent the week the week enjoying Gigi and Grandads new house and town!

He read the entire drive!!!

Thanks to Gigi for making over 10 different treats for us to enjoy all week long!! I think we all gained 5+ lbs!

The last time this Royals outfit was worn was circa 1983! Mikaels grandad gave it to him.

Gigi and Grandad treated us to 4 visits to the Monkey Joes by their house. Mason absolutely loved it and I think everyone else did too!

Ryan and Maddie Stines birthday party!

We headed to Ryan 3rd and Maddies 1st birthday party on 9/20 before heading to Warner Robins. We had a blast and love the Stines!

Play dates and balloon glow

I can't believe September is already over! Seems like we were just celebrating Labor Day! But we did have a busy month so it's no wonder it went fast!

We went to the balloon glow this year and it was a blast!!! Mason loved it! We got to the park and got a great parking spot around 4:30 and didn't hit any traffic! We got a wonderful spot on the field and set up shop! The event started at 7 and went til 9.

The stones met us at the park at 4:30 and then we met other people there too! Jennifer, Elliot, Joe, Ashley, Sophie, Jacoby, Katie r, Ellen, the Stines and the O'Malias

Christopher 3months and Evie 5.5 months

Earlier that week we played with Ryan and Maddie at the park!

Mason and Christopher updates!

Well life with 2 boys is pretty amazing! Christopher rolls from his tummy to back very quickly. He sleeps in his crib at night and during most naps. And he loves watching mason! They are just the cutest together! Mason really enjoys being a big brother and is actually usually pretty helpful! And they both love their Lily girl!

Mason has peed in the potty the last 2 nights and even went on the potty this morning. So we are planning to start the actual potty training next week while mikael is home to help (vacation). Mason loves school and when we arrive he literally runs down the hall to his classroom. He goes on Wednesday and Fridays from 9-12:30. He is still a great napper and typically sleeps 2-3.5hrs each day.

Christopher is all smiles and actually giggles too! He is pretty chill unless he is hungry. He eats every 3-4hrs during the day. He sleeps from about 10pm-3ish, and usually wakes up between 3-4am wanting his paci. Then he will sleep til 8ish. Recently he has been waking up more during the night though which has been a little tough. Finally he takes a morning nap around 10 and another nap in the afternoon. And he takes quick cat naps throughout the day.
