Trick or Treat

Here are the Woglom boys on Trick or Treat night. Jonathan and I made it down the street and Daddy and Chris continued on. It's cooooold tonight!

Happy Halloween!

The Ghost Walk

Christopher's class had their Ghost Walk this morning, where the kids dressed up in their costumes and paraded around for the parents and older kids to watch. I only got a few pictures as it started to downpour and Jonathan and I had to make a bee-line for the school building where we ended up helping out with the games for the class party…

Jonathan basically slept through it all…

Pumpkin Carving

Here was our afternoon pumpkin carving with the big boy!

And the finished product, complete with painting details…

Go Royals!

A mini hat for a mini person…

Jonathan got his first bottle from Daddy the other night while Mommy pumped away in the other room…

And Leatha came over to hang out with us this morning and little man got really sleepy in her arms. She has the magic touch!

"Football"

More Grandparents

Christopher and Jonathan are very lucky to have so many grandparents in their lives! Grandpa T and Nancy came out to visit this weekend. While they came out to see the baby, they had the most fun playing with Christopher. If my hands hadn't been full holding onto Jonathan, I would have taken a number of videos of all the craziness! One of Chris' favorite things is when Nancy brings the "big lips" with her from NY. Chris also enjoys wearing said big wax lips and they have a ton of fun together…

Brothers

And one of the sisters…

Sniffy pants

Holly likes to sniff everything but her current favorite is sniffing Jonathan's head when he is at floor level. She'll even give him the occasional kiss too!

Super baby!!

Lunch date

I was lucky to have a lunch date today at Cafe Gratitude with this handsome young man!

Pics

Here are a couple pics from our visits today. The first is of Jonathan with Tiffany's baby, Noah, who is 7 weeks older…

And here is Grammy snuggling with her younger grandson…

My Awesome Midwife

So while it may be true that I was the one who gave birth to Jonathan, my midwife, Jeane Ward, was a huge part of why I had a healthy pregnancy and an amazing birth experience. I am so incredibly grateful for her support and coaching during Jonathan's birth and if anyone I know around KC ever needed a recommendation for a wonderful midwife, Jeane gets my vote!

Can't Get Enough

I can't take enough pictures of this peaceful boy sleeping...

Weight Check

Today is Jonathan's 2 week birthday so we went in to the pediatrician for a weight check. The goal was to be back at his birthweight. He knocked it out of the park and weighed in at 8 lbs 9 oz. Great job buddy!

Some pics from today...

We were visited by the Beznovsky boys this afternoon so there were officially six boys in this house at once! Here are some pics from their visit as well as one of Chris snuggling with his brother (which I cannot take enough pictures of!)…

Snoozing

Small Victories

Before Brian and I had kids, we claimed that the best form of birth control was to walk into Target on any given day to hear children screaming, crying and throwing tantrums. Without fail, regardless of time, day or location, such craziness was happening.

I am happy to report that Jonathan and I made our first outing to Target this morning and we did not cause anyone to rethink parenthood. Success for us and the future of the human race!

More visitors!

Today our house was like Grand Central Station! Grandma and Grandpa were getting ready for their trip back east, Tiffany and Leatha came over with their kids, Grammy brought us lunch and the dog walker came to take the dogs for a rainy walk. It was a fun morning and now the house is quiet except for me and little Jonathan (as Christopher went out for a fun afternoon with Grammy at Prairie Fire). Here are some of our friends who visited this morning…

Brothers

It is amazing to see the connection between these two boys already...

Visitors from the East

Grandma Jan and Grandpa Eric have arrived to see their grandsons! Here they are meeting Jonathan for the first time...

Always October

Today, as part of Spirit Week at Pembroke, the kids can wear jerseys of their favorite team. Chris doesn't have a specific jersey yet so we got him a Royals playoff shirt and he is very excited to wear it today. Although we've thoroughly brainwashed him to love the Yankees and root (ALWAYS) against the Red Sox, our Kansas City boy is going to support his Royals during this exciting time!

The Big Kid

Look at my big kindergartener doing his homework!

Visitors

We've been settling into our routine with Jonathan and our friends and family are starting to come to visit us! The other day our neighbor, Susan (veteran mother of 4 grown boys herself), came over to hang out with a sleeping Jonathan and a reading-and-doing-his-homework Christopher. Yesterday, Danna and her kids came to visit. It was wonderful for Chris to be able to play with his good friends while we chatted about things totally uninteresting to kids who are 10 and younger. Here are some pics of our friends (Lahna is not pictured but thought J was very cute).

Later, Grammy will be coming by to visit and Grandma Jan and Grandpa Eric are making their trek across the US to join us later this afternoon. It's a beautiful rainy day (especially since I don't have to go anywhere) so I'm off to go snuggle with my new little guy.

Aahhhh

Happily filled with milk...

Burrito

Here I am with my burrito!

What Does the Fox Say

Jonathan got all decked out in his sweet little fox pajamas for his first visit to the pediatrician. He checked out great and we'll go back in another month to see how he's growing. When we got back the dogs welcomed him with sniffs and kisses. Here is Holly, who kept her distance for awhile but is getting on board now with the whole baby thing!

Practically Twins

Here is yet another example, side by side, of the striking resemblance between our two boys in their infant years…

                                                   

Peaceful

Like all babies, he's not always like this but in this picture he is peace personified...

Sleepyhead

Jonathan had a nice mid morning snack and is onto his mid morning siesta. What a life!

Christopher's Thoughts

Here is a brief video of Chris sharing some loving thoughts about his new brother…

This picture below is of Chris when he came home from the hospital. Compare it to the picture of Jonathan in yesterday's post (the one of the 2 boys snuggling). The resemblance is crazy!

Good morning!

Good morning from Jonathan!

Brothers

Omg!
