4 months
Sorry haven't posted anything in a while, since summer started in June we have been super busy! We left for Alaska in the end of June and spent 10 days there exploring. We all had a ton of fun and made some special memories!
From there we flew to Minnesota to spend some time with our family. Getting ready for the Nicks 5k walk/run on July 20th. We also went up north to my parents camper for the weekend and had some fun swimming.
Hubby flew back with us from AK and the next day we went and looked at some houses, we looked at 4 and the last one we loved! It is the one we have been looking for for a long time! . We put an offer on it and after a long process of back and forths and inspections we a do excited to close on the house next week on August 20th!! I just went to National Night Out last night with the boys and my mom and it was so awesome to be able to meet the neighbors, they were all so welcoming and excited for us to move in! There are a ton of young families like ourselves with young children so Boo boo and bubba will have lots of friends close by!
Bubba has been busy growing and growing. He is becoming increasingly more aware and outgoing. He is very easy going and happy just as long as mom is close and he is fed. Recently has been going thru a thing where he screams in the car but I think it's just he doesn't like not being able to see mom. He really liked standing in the walker or jumper. Also loves laying on the floor watching his big bro play cars.
Boo boo had a really hard time adjusting to the time change and lightness from ak to mn. Then he got croup so it has taken a while to get back on track. He also has been very testy, rechecking all his boundaries and he has spent a good amount of time in time out. But it seems a lot of his friend his age are acting similar so I'm not too concerned.
Both of the boys are enjoying spending so much time with both sides of family, and we are grateful for there help!!
I will update after bubba 4 month appt with his stats and some more pictures .

3 Months
Bubba turns three months this week, he is increasingly getting stronger and staying awake a lot longer during the day. I think he takes like three or four thirty minute naps. He also has been staying up longer at night and then sleeping till morning. Last night he went to bed at 11 and woke up at 630 to eat then went back down till 9am. In the mornings he has been waking up and just laying in his bed and plays moves and chats with the ceiling haha it's so cute!! He hasn't been much of a paci baby up till now, but I recently bought him the next size up in the tomee tipee brand nuks and he seems to like them more, and almost requires one if he is having a hard time falling asleep.
He is eating every 2.5 to 3 hours for 15 mins on one side which is exciting that he is now nursing so much faster! He is quite a pro at it also, doesn't really matter where or what position he is great at it!
We went on a long trip to Alaska and a lot of it was in the car bc the state is so huge, but both the boys did awesome in the car and bubba only cried when he was really hungry.
He was in disposables majority of the trip so this month haven't been in cloth diapers all that much. But now that we are back I am so happy to have him back on cloth, he had a blowout every day we were in disposables it was so annoying!!
He loves being on the floor on his tummy watching big brother play cars and trains, and listening to him talk.
Bubba is such a happy baby he loves it when someone talks to him and he will almost always smile back and chat a bit.
Boo boo is still loving having a little brother, and is always eager to help him out.
We are so blessed to have two adorable little boys!! Love them both so much!!

Nick's LoveLife 5K Walk/ Run
I am a part of a foundation my family started in memory of my brother to raise money to help end childhood cancer. My brother was diagnosed with osteosarcoma when he was 16 years old. He fought it for 4 and a half years, he was a great guy and if you would have met him you would never have known he had a deadly disease. He loved life and didnt let cancer get in the way of his dreams. Unfortunately the lord had better plans for him and he left us here in March of 2010. The Nick Reamer Osteosarcoma Foundation was established in November 2010 and is a 501(c) non-profit organization. We host 3 main events each year, one in the spring (walking tacos stand at the garage sales in our neighborhood) in the summer (Nick's LoveLife 5K Walk/ Run) and one in the fall (Nickadeamous' Tricked Out Truck & Car Show) All of the profits raised at each event is used to either help support families with childhood cancers or is donated to Childrens Hospitals & Clinics of MN for research for childhood cancers.
In just a few weeks the Nick's LoveLife 5K Walk/ Run will be happening in Coon Rapids, MN. I realize not everyone reading is in the area but I just wanted to spread the word on the event and our foundation. Here's the details:

2 Months!!
Bubba is 2 months old today! It's crazy how fast time is flying!! He got to meet grandma & grandpa f & aunt & cousins this past week who drove out here from MN to see him, and he is really enjoying the extra attention!! Boo boo is loving his baby brother so much and loves to sing abcs to him whenever he is crabby, so cute.
Bubba has already gained 15 lbs almost doubled his birthweight and 23.5 inches! He is primarily wearing 3-6 month clothes and is cloth diapered full time in his one sized diapers that seem to fit very well.
He is eating every 3 hours during the day usually 20 mins on both sides finally and at night will nurse a lot then sleep a big 5 hr stretch then eat then another 4 hr stretch I am so happy. With boo boo he wasn't sleeping this well till like 4 or 5 months..
He can pretty much hold his head up by himself, and he really enjoys sitting in his bouncy seat, not so much his swing anymore.
He so far is a good traveler in the car, he will complain only when he's getting hungry. That is good bc we travel a lot.
He is not much of a fan of the nuk, but will entertain the idea ifs very once in a while so we always have one handy.
Bubba is such a cutie he really enjoys listening to bedtime stories. He smiles a lot when you talk to him and he tries to talk back.
Here are some pictures from this month
