Sam 4 months and Will 2 years 4 Months

So much to catch up on in my blog but I think the most important blogs are my monthly updates on Sam and Will.  So here it is - the 4 month post on my growing boys.  Its crazy because Sam changes so much from month to month physically but Will changes just as much with his interests, new sayings and crazy questions.

Stats: 16lbs 2oz

Likes: Sam has changed so much from 3 months to 4 months it is absolutely amazing.  He is the happiest, calmest, sweetest and easiest little guy every.  He is so go with the flow.  Naps on our runs or on the walk home on the park, eats anywhere, flashes these sweet calm smiles all day long and GIGGLES!  It is so adorable.  I nibble his neck and he breaks out into these belly laughs.  He can be put anywhere still and is very happy (bouncy seat, jungle mat, pack and play).  But what he is really into is watching big brother.  Although he is barely rolling he will move his body as much as his fat little self will allow to see what Will is up to.  He loves to have me hold him up to the train table to catch a view.  The other day he got a bit rough with the track and Will thought it was hilarious.  Sam is sleeping well (up once a night) and sleeping til 7 or 8am.  Also taking nice long afternoon naps.  He rarely wakes up crying and when I go in he is happily watching his mobile that he turns on himself!?!?!  Goof ball.  Cracks me up in the middle of the night when I know he is awake and I hear the song of his mobile over the monitor.  Rolls form daily on his big ol' belly but we are sticking to milk until the 6 month mark.  Sam also is taking the bottle - THANK GOODNESS!!! And is heading to bed at 6:30pm which has been a great change for our family.  Still such a snuggle bug!

Dislikes:  THE HEAT!!  This month has been warm and Sam is definitely not a fan.  His little body gets warm so fast so we have to be careful at the parks.  We get out early so Will can play and tend to get home by 11am to beat the heat for our little friend.  Sam gets super tired and really hates getting dressed before his bottle - he is basically frantic until we pop that bottle in his mouth.  Still hates the car and I expect no changes for a while with that one.  

Of course Will needed to try the sticker :)

On very rare occasions Will asks to hold Sam - its pretty darn cute!

Will Stats: 30lbs (we put him on the scale at the Southwest counter before our flight home to CT)

Likes:  Will's main obsession right now is TRUCKS - mail truck, dump truck, skid steer, cranes, pickup trucks, excavators, bull dozers - EVERYTHING trucks.  He will go to a park and sit in a sandbox playing with all the trucks for hours.  On all our walks he is constantly saying "Mommy wook (look) its a....(insert truck name here)".  He is even calling out the UPS and Fedex trucks.  Obsessed!!!  He is also into his legos that you build into trucks.  Trains have also had a comeback.  Some of his best lines right now are:

"Mommy you wait right there 1 minute I need to go get..."

"Oh cool"

"Thats awesome Mommy" with a thumbs up

"5 more minutes" with a palm up at me

"Mommy mommy wook wook"

Dislikes:  Will is definitely starting to test his limits.  We see a lot more sass then we used to.  He likes to sit in the chair up to the counter to eat or at his little table - not a huge fan of the high chair anymore.  Its all big boy all the time.  He likes for us to change his diaper after going #2 right away which is a good sign for potty training to come!  Has trouble holding himself back if someone brings a super awesome digger to the park.  Waiting for his turn is really really hardddddd.  Oh the excitement.  Will is still a super happy, silly little guy.
