Berk lives here too...



Okay, so in fairness to my other child, who cannot participate in my weekly activities I thought I outta post something about him too. He is such a mellow baby Night and Day from how our experience with Braden was. Unfortuatly the last few days he has been thrown into major teething mode, and boy does it stink!!! He is up at all hours of the night and crying like crazy. I hate having him hurt and usually he only gets to sleep once he has a good motrin/tylenol combo going on. Two other things have helped me keep my sanity the last week. 1. the Jumperoo, this kid LOVES this thing. He will play for a good 30 minutes at a time allowing me to get a few things done around the house. 2. Hylands Teething Tablets. I have seen these at the store before but not until yesterday did I finally pick them up. OH MY, what a difference. Berk slept from 8 to 5 last night,miracle!!! So today he finally wanted to get on the floor and play with his animal train toys. These are great, they make all kinds of noise when you turn them. He loves it. So enjoy my cute Berkley, I know I sure do. And if anyone has tips on other coping methods for teething, I would Love to hear them!

He is so handsome. Aren't boys so fun? We LOVED our jumperoo too. We found one brand new at a garage sale for $20. With how much we used it we would have paid full price and still got our moneys worth!!

I'm so glad you left your blog for me. sometimes I think I post alot of my little girl. I think duh, I do have 2 kids. So now I try to be fair. I think I'm doing pretty good. =) Talk to you soon!

We went to a concert last night and got home late, so I had to check my blog. I'm a little crazy. I thought DH meant Dear Husband too, but I think that sounds so dumb. I would never refer to my husband as Dear Husband. I don't know.

Funny! Just wait, pretty soon you won't be able to buy just one of anything. It will be two swords, two green shirts, two of everything! Then you'll remember how much you have 2 boys. Berk is SO cute, he is so squeezable and lovable.

P.S. I love that Rusty checks your blog and leaves comments!

Thanks Ami, it isn't hard to forget I have two when one cries all night and then I come back to my bed I find the other all comfy and zonked on MY pillow!!! Does anyone else play musical beds at their house??? And Berk really does have checks that cry "EAT ME", I swear (even Braden nibbles occasionally);)

He is so adorable! Sorry about the teething. I hate that stage. You just feel so bad for the little guy. I love that jumperoo thing. We threw away our bouncer the week before we found out we were prego because we didn't want to store it for 2 years. Ya 2 years came a lot faster! So I will have to get that one. It looks fun! Thanks

He is so cute! I saw on becknews the pictures of Berk and Rusty doing their balancing act. Impressive. I'm glad we could contribute something to your family.

Caryn said...

Yeah, Addi thanks for that one--Braden even gets in on the act...I think Rusty missed his calling in life as a yell leader! He & Blake could have tried out together! Can't wait to se ya!
