family pic 2009

We went and got family pictures taken the other day, the kids did really well considering how cold it was. Lanette did an exellent job and we LOVE them!

Korbin's 1st hair cut

It was a much needed thing, cutting Korbin's hair, but I was terrified that his curls would go with the cut so i kept putting it off. But as you can see from the pics his curly mess of hair needed help.. so i gave in and we got it cut on Saturday. He did really good and held absolutely still- even bigger shock- his hair is still curly and we love it. It make him look so much older now!

Korbin has been a handful these last few days and it has reminded me, for the sake of my sanity, why i am not cut out to be a stay at home mom- he has

1. drawn all over his wall, and face with a pen

2. got into the flour and made a fun mess...

3. locked himself in his room

4. broke the letter 't' off my lap top

5. broke Russell's computer

6. snuck into the Christmas presents (got it all on video and will post later)

7. started to hide piles of cereal around the house in random spots

BUT has been really good with Quinn and my orneriness- he is quick to find the plug for Quinn when he is crying, and often asks to hold him or sit next to him . I am glad he understands Quinn's needs and demands for me and doesn't get annoyed at Quinn's crying either.

Quinn is doing good- as long as he is changed, feed, sleeping or being looked at. He is your typical baby and I couldn't ask for anything more- aside from maybe sleeping more often at 4 am..

how i handle two kids

Once might ask how life is handled going from one to two the answer is simple- give the older one a marker and fill the tub- that provides korbin countless mins of entertainment while i attempt to fill Quinn's unquenchable hunger without interruption-
Don't worry i will be posting pics of Quinn soon-- (as soon as i get the camera out of the truck) or convince Lanette to work her magic on my children ;)
in case your are also wondering his drawings on the wall are of Abigail, Jude, heather, Lucy, daddy and mommy, a truck and Quinn
