7 weeks old already

I'm not sure how it's possible that Dylan is 7 weeks old already, but he is. I've been meaning to get his pictures taken before now but man the last 7 weeks went by fast! Anyway, we finally got pictures done yesterday. Dylan did great! He was awake and happy the whole time. Skyler was not so cooperative and would not let us get any pictures of him by himself for his 2 year pictures. We even brought his tricycle for him to have his pictures taken on and he wouldn't have it. The terrible 2's are not my favorite. Oh well, we got a couple cute ones of the 2 boys together so I guess those will be the ones that go in Skyler's scrapbook. Enough rambling, here's the pictures....

Look at how cute he is, he even smiled

I like this funny smirk

I don't know how he opens his eyes so wide

This was taken while Skyler was being bribed with "treats" a.k.a candy. Dylan looks startled but he was just fascinated with the lights in the studio.

Oh so sweet. Don't you just love their matching outfits!!

I know this is the same picture but it looks so cute in sepia too

Shockingly, we actually got a decent family picture in spite of Rich's inability to keep his eyes open when his picture is being taken, Skyler being a fidgety 2 year old who didn't want to smile or sit still or have his picture taken, and Dylan who can't hold his head up and likes looking everywhere but at the camera.

Just to prove that Skyler wasn't cooperating, this was the only picture that was taken of him by himself and he clearly has a mouth full of candy and is pouting. At least the other pictures of him turned out cute :)

Motherhood, it's just so glamorous!

Most of the time being a mom is fun and rewarding......and then there are days like today. My day started off ok, it wasn't until after Skyler's bath this morning that everything went downhill. After his bath Skyler decided that he didn't want to wear a diaper because he was "going potty" on his little toilet. He's never actually gone potty in his toilet but the fact that he wanted to pretend like he was had me hopeful that maybe he actually would. He played in the bathroom for like 15 minutes pretending to go potty over and over again. Then he decided to go running through the house with his bare bottom and made it to the dining room before peeing on the carpet. Oh joy, I got to clean pee out of my carpet this morning, lucky me! While I'm cleaning up Skyler's mess Dylan is screaming because he's hungry. So I get his bottle ready and get him fed, while he's eating he's filling his diaper which is actually a good thing because since he's had to be mostly on formula (since I got the flu and lost my milk supply) he's been having a hard time going. It had been a couple of days without him having a poopy diaper and he made up for it today. He had the HUGEST blowout ever! Seriously, there was enough poop for at least 3 very full diapers and the 1 diaper that he was wearing didn't even come close to containing it all. There was poop everywhere. I really didn't even know where to start. I'm pretty sure there's not enough Spray-n-Wash in the world to get all of the poop out of the blanket and outfit he had on. They've had to go through the wash twice so far, who knows how many more times they'll need to be washed to get it out. Anyways, I give Dylan a bath and get him all cleaned up and then I realize that I'm starving because I haven't eaten all day. So I make myself some lunch and Skyler is sharing it with me and then he decides to poop his diaper. As I'm changing him I look in the mirror and notice that I have poop smeared on the front of my shirt. Nice! I guess you could say that I had a very CRAPPY DAY!!! I think I need some chocolate :)
