Two of a Kind

People have been asking if the boys look alike or think they look nothing alike.  Yes, as far as Beau has the blue eyes/blonde hair and Baine is darker, they look different in that aspect.  But as far as other features, they look so much alike from baby pictures!  Here is a picture comparison of the boys when they are both at 7 weeks.  Beau is top, and Baine is bottom.  But Baine is changing so much everyday, who knows what will happen :)  One thing is for sure, Beau is LOVING being a big brother and is extremely protective of Baine.  Whenever Beau leaves for school or Mary's, he says "Mommy, please make sure to take care of my brother today.  Feed him when he gets hungry."  I hope he always stays this fond of Baine ;)

Baine is 2 Months!

I honestly cannot believe that Baine is 2 months old now.  Joe and I were just saying that it seemed like last week we were taking the boys trick or treating, and now it's just a few days before Christmas!  Where has time gone?!

Baine hasn't been feeling very well the past week, so his weight is not what it was (over 13 pounds!). But at his dr. appt, he weighed 12 pounds 11 oz and was 24 1/4 inches long.  He is growing so fast.
**LOVES tummy time
**Eats about 6 oz at every feeding
**Sleeps about 10 hours at night
**Loves to be held and cuddled (I have probably spoiled him over the past couple of months by being home with him every day)
**His eyes seem to be turning brown, however there are days where they seem blue
**His hair is growing in FAST and it is dark!
**Able to sit up in his Bumbo seat now!
**Has so much love from his big brother :)

Church Christmas Program 2014

Beau was old enough this year to participate in our chuch's Christmas program: We're Cookin' Up Christmas.  He had been practicing his songs and even had a few of them memorized.  However, I think with the early arrival time to practice, made for a long morning which caused Beau to be a little ornery to say the least :).  Overall, Beau and Banx did such a great job and I am so proud of them!

 Beau's attention span started to ware off as you can see... :)

I love this picture.  Baine is looking at Tara with nothing but pure love!

Since Joe was in Kansas City with Austin and Caleb for the Chief's game, I tried getting as much as I could on video for him, but I don't think the videos or pictures do justice of just how funny these two were getting on each other's nerves.  Just like Brook says, they love each other like brother and sister, and they fight with each other like brother and sister.

This video above explains Beau's orneriness....

Happy Baby Baine

One thing is for sure, Baine is such a happy baby!  He smiles all of the time now and it is the best sight in the world.  

He loves to stick his tongue out when he gives us that "Pierson" smirk :)

Santa-Round 2

Wednesday night at church, Santa came to visit.  I really thought that Beau wouldn't be afraid this time since Banx was there, Nana and I had Baine with me.  However, I was clearly wrong.  Beau kept saying "I'm very sad.  I don't want to sit on Santa's lap."  The ONLY way he would stand by Santa, is if I went up with him.  I guess not a lot is changing :)

Beau Paxton = High Maitenance

 Last week Dena came over to watch football and spend time with us.  As usual, her amazing massaging skills came out.  Except instead of the postpartum lady getting a neck/back massage, Beau decided he needed one!  He said "Dena rub my back please.  Now my head, and then my tummy because it hurts very much."  Oh dear, where did our little baby go!? :)

Our Little Baine-Joe

 Baine is definitely growing like a weed!  He is such a good baby, just like his big brother was.  Baine is smiling ALL OF THE TIME now, and I love catching each smile I can.  This is making me dread going back to work, I don't want to miss any of these moments with him.  He loves to be cuddled and wrapped in fuzzy blankets...I think he gets that from his mama :).  He had the flu on Sunday and Monday, so when we weighed him at the doctor, he weighed 12 pounds!  He is definitely our "beef-cake" :).
