How boys play dress up

The mini hat cracks me up. Did yall hear B? "Hampton, wear this." Bradford is really into including Hampton lately while he is playing. Nothing can prepare you for that feeling when the two are connecting.

How to back up your blog

Here is the information on backing up your blog! Key- having an external hard drive!

Also, click here to turn your blog into a book! Motivating to blog and take more pics. I would love to have a book each year!

Happy Monday!

Brotherly Love and Hampton is 5 months!

Oh how I love this little guy! Though life is tough and I am weary- his sweetness makes up for it. He weighs 17 lbs and 10 ounces. Not struggling with weight since he eats 24 hours a day! How cute is this outfit Ma C made special for him! Little B has a matching smocked t-shirt on the way! Most of you guys know that it makes my heart happy when kids match. Though it is not very realistic= I think I have had their matching pjs clean once at the same time- a mom can dream.

Loving his feet!

Best of buds

Little B hugs Hampton at least twice an hour.

And for those who really want a peek into their daily interaction...a video- just watch the first 10 seconds to get an idea- the other minute and a half might hurt your ears since my two year old screams randomly throughout the day.

I am headed to ATL tomorrow early- excited about spending some time with my friends and visiting Nanny. Prayers for my Nanny as she has taken a turn for the worse- Ever since her stroke on Christmas Eve, she hasn't been the same. My mom goes every weekend to be with her and I know she could use prayers too. She is quite the warrior. Also, big thanks to my Big Bradford for holding down the fort for another weekend :) I can already here Little B saying all weekend, "Okay- Let's go boys!"

Apples crash?

Whew- Kudos to you mamas that are blogging. I need about 4 more hours in my day to have time to do it. I have actually been really sad every time I look at our apple computer because it has disappointed me. It crashed a few weeks ago and they couldn't recover our hard drive. So we lost everything. Did we back up our photos? Nope. I guess we aren't invisible. I really had to examine my heart and realize that those were earthly treasures....So- I am now taking my camera more places and trying to restart my photo collection of my favorite people. I know I have alot of my photos on Facebook and I have this blog- so hopefully between the two I can get what I need. I had a friend mention to me that your blog could crash and you could lose it all too- so I am in the process of backing up my blog so I don't lose those precious memories as well. Sweet Hampton's one year book might just start when he is 5 months old :)

I will be back soon with some adorable pictures of my favorite little boys. Also, Hampton goes tomorrow for an Upper GI X-ray to see what is going on with our sweet little man. We are down to waking up once or twice in the night as I moved him back into the swing- last week in his crib he was waking up every hour and a half....I was not stable. I am a little more stable this week- though my sentences don't make sense....I should start keeping a list of what I say....it is scary...if I had a real job I think I would have already been fired. Thankful that I stay home and I can't get fired- or can I? Big Bradford came home last week and said he found me a job as I think he thought I was going to the crazy house. Thankful that he was looking out for me but I think I will just stay crazy and love on my boys all day.

Savannah

Big B and I headed for a long weekend to Savannah this past weekend. We planned this back at the beginning of January thinking Hampton would be sleeping through the night by now and we could enjoy a big weekend away! Well we for sure enjoyed our big weekend away- but poor Soos was up all nights of the hours with Hampton. I sure slept alot and caught up on all of my sleepless nights. I don't think Hampton is ever going to sleep at night or during the day. I feel so bad for him...We stayed at a really nice B & B that served an awesome breakfast every morning- evening hor'devers 6-8, and desserts 8-10. Everything was homemade and the breakfast scones every morning were to die for. We bought the Gastonian cookbook in hopes to learn how to cook scones for our future B & B

Soos sent us alot of fun videos and pictures while we were away so we didn't miss the babes too much..

This video makes me realize how much my child learns from other places- he learned this song in BSF...

Bradford scheduled us our own personal tour guide, Bobby, who took us around Savannah for 2 hours. He was awesome and funny and took lots of pictures with his camera for us. If you ever go to Savannah we would recommend getting Bobby's spin on Savannah- he is ranked #1 on trip advisor for Savannah tours

Vacations are a must- our next vacation is June! That seems like forever away!

Thanks Soos and Pops for all of your help this weekend!

What do you do when...

both boys have had colds and you haven't left the house in a week and a half???

YOU GO TO THE BEACH!

Little B woke up Saturday morning and said,"Let's go to beach"- We were like- YES. We drove a little over an hour to a beach I had been to once and one that lots of locals recommend: Anna Maria Island. We went to the beach- walked the streets- and picked up lots of menus as we are going back Saturday to eat a place on the beach- Sand Bar.

An hour of our time was Little B watching the waves..

Then running when the water touched his toes

over and over again!

A much needed trip- looking forward to going back again this weekend!

We got this Double Bob off of Craigslist- I am so glad I didn't buy it brand new as we have gotten it really dirty- I think I would have had a heart attack when I looked down the other day and saw that Little B had smashed a ketchup packet under his shoe and it was all over the stroller seat...good times.

Hampton is 4 months!

Our sweet Hampton is 4 months! He is such a sweet guy. Though he isn't sleeping through the night(waking up two and three times at night)- he is so sweet during the day that I will take the hard nights. We continue to up his dose of medicine as he grows more and more as his acid reflux is very painful for him. Poor thing. So thankful for a medicine that can help him.

We went to the doctor last week and he weighs 16 pounds 9 oz. (90th percentile) and his height is 24 inches-(25th percentile) Short pudgy guy!

Hands in his mouth all day long!

Sweet smiles all day long!

We started rice cereal but it caused more problems than good so we'll try again later!

Here is a video to sum up our days- I have a feeling Hampton is going to get used to his brother talking and singing in his face his whole life :)
