Life in the Country

Me & the boys are currently in Montana at my parents' home. Kalispell, Montana to be exact. We've been here about a week now & the weather has been very hot which normally I don't mind one bit, but my parents do not have air conditioning, so my poor boys have spent most days in nothing but a diaper. But they seem to be handling it good.
We goto the park almost everyday for a little walk which is nice. They have some great parks here. Of course the boys are always asleep when we are there, but just getting them out & getting fresh air is wonderful.
I cannot believe that my boys are about to turn 3 months. They have changed so much already. Even in this last week since being here, there has been changes. I am not sure if it is because we are in a different place or because I left a stressful home & never noticed it, but my boys are getting big & doing things they never did before. Cooper is smiling up a storm. He is truly my happy baby. I adore him. Griffin loves to look at himself in the mirror on his play gym. He has also finally started to smile, but you have to catch it quick cause he only gives it up for a second, then he goes to his trademark sneer. He is such a ham.
Coming here to Montana was what I needed on many levels. And I can see that it was something the boys needed as well. They just seem happier or calmer or something. Can't help but take notice of that.

2 months

Boys had their 2 month "well baby" exam today. Cooper is 10 lbs. 9 oz & Griffin is 9 lbs. 10 oz. Can you even believe it? My boys are soooo big! Both are doing really really good. I cannot even believe my boys are 2 whole months already. When people said it goes by really fast, they were not kidding! I am looking forward to seeing them grow & do new things.... but I just hope they don't grow up too fast!! :)

I was proud of myself, I took the boys all by myself to my work yesterday. Had to show off my adorable little men.... they loved it. All those women constantly holding them. They ate it up!! I could not believe that Griff NEVER FUSSED & both of them stayed awake the whole time we were there. I thought for sure I would pay for it on the way home, but thankfully they both slept like little angels & started to fuss right when we pulled into the garage. Their "good behavior" is giving me some confidence to go out on my own with them more often. For the most part I've been doing that anyways, but only to the park & the mall once. Sounds lame I am sure but every little outting I do by myself with them is like a little victory. I took them to the doctor today by myself. Thankfully the nurse helped me out, made things go a bit faster. Doesn't take much anymore to make me happy.... thankfully I have 2 great kids that make my life a little easier...

No funny stories or gross stories yet to share... been pretty lame. Just feeding, burping, changing, & sleeping.... Give it time..... and someday I will post pictures on here..
