2 Months

Little man is 2 months old!

He is HUGE! He is in the 95th percentile for height (24.5 inches) and 90th percentile for weight (16 lbs 1 oz).

He is sooo sweet! He just has the sweetest spirit! We love him so much!

He is such a flirt! Everywhere we go he has women fawning all over him. I obviously think he is precious but it is so fun when other people say it too!

I just have to say, it is the hardest thing I have ever been, but I LOVE being a mom!

Zoo with Grandpa and Grandma Loveland

 Unfortunately, while Ryan's parents were here the weather was pretty chilly. But one day it verged into the fifties so we decided to go to the zoo. Claire loved going there with her grandparents!

 

I thought this was just too precious! Grandpa and Claire bear!

 

There is a neat park at the zoo. We took a break from animals and let Claire play for a while.

 

Yeah, she is too cool for school.

 

Claire loves her grandma and grandpa Loveland. We miss them so much!

Oliver's Blessing Day

 Olly was bless on Feb. 24, 2013. It was so wonderful! Ryan did a great job!

 It was such a blessing that my grandparents were able to make it out for the blessing. These are my dad's parents. I love them so much!

 

 Ryan's parents came out and stay with us for a while after we had Oliver. It was such a blessing! They were the best help ever! It was so sad when they left. We love you guys so much!

 

Pure Deliciousness

 This is my little guy! I just love him! He is so sweet! Words really can't describe!!

This little guy at 4 weeks is wearing 6-9 month closthes...He is HUGE! He will turn out to be a tall drink of water like his old man!!

Indianapolis Children's Museum

So, a LARGE part of my childhood was spent in the Indianapolis Children's Museum. I mean, a lot of my dreams take place there or in the neighboorhoods surrounding there.

I was born in Indianapolis and lived there until I was 7 years old. To date, Indianapolis is still the place that I have lived the longest...although I may not remember most of it ;-)

Well, we only live 2 hours away so we decided to take a little field trip there. It was surreal to bring my own daughter to my childhood dreamland.

 

 This was Claire digging for ancient Chinese artifacts. She's pretty brillian at the age of 23 months!

 

She LOVED everything!

 

 

 This just happened to be her favorite exhibit. She LOVES motorcycles.

 

Her and Olly got worn out and loved chilling in the jogging stroller together. Claire is such a sweet big sister and is always on the look out for her little brother.

 

 

All in all it was a great trip. Olly was 4 weeks old and traveled like a dream. Claire did too. It was such a treat to go out with our family. I cannot wait til Ryan is done with school and we can do more as a family together!

 

Some Sweet Daddy Lovin'

 Ryan is pretty much THE MAN! I love him so much! It seems that my love for him grows with each kid! I love seeing him love our babies! We wish we had more time with him but between him working part time (2 12 hour night shifts a weeks) and doing graduate school full time, we miss out on a lot of daddy time. But he tries his best to spend as much time with us! Thanks for your sacrifice Big Guy!

 

He loves his Olly and his Olly loves him!

 

Our little smushed up baby! This is Olly at 4 weeks.

 

Oh be still my beating heart! Is there anything more yummy then your hubby wearing your baby???? Didn't think so! I think I love this guy!

Oh funny story, when Ryan first wore Olly, he said, "Oh, now I know how you felt when you were pregnant!"....ummm....Ryan.....NO! Not even close, dear!

1 week and a Bothced Photo Shoot

 Its amazing how much faster time flies with the second baby! This is our little rascal at one weeks! So precious!

This is Claire and Sophie...They are quite the pair!

And Claired had to get into the photo shoot of course!

Here is the bothced photo shoot. I don't know if it is because he is too skinny or the lighting or what, but his pictures didn't turn out that well...

Ok, they turned out REALLY bad!! lol! He is just too skinny to be cute right now!

So he is only 1 week old and no joke he held his head like this for a good solid minute! He must be a Loveland! He is a strong boy!

This is cute though! Claire LOVES her baby brother Olly! She has to give him loves all the time. If he cries she is right there patting his back or telling me to help him. I definitely have a mini mom on my hands!

I couldn't resist putting this picture in! I have a special place in my heart for both of these people! I love how they love each other!

 

2 weeks

This little man is growing and growing. He is already out of his 0-3 months clothes! He is going to be huge I think!

 

We are so in love with this little guy!

 

Claire is cheering for her baby brother in this picture.

Learning how to transition from one to two kids isn't as hard as I thought it would be...but there are still challenges! Right now, figuring out bedtime is pretty rough. Especially because with Ry in his hardest semester yet, he can't help as much as he'd like. We will get there though!
