Brotherly Love
To date, momma and daddy's dreams have come true. Cole is such a wonderful big brother to Casey and loves to help out whenever he can. He offers to entertain him when he is fussy or dance for him to try and make him smile. And on the other hand Casey just adores his big brother. When he hears his voice he looks over and smiles and often will keep his eyes on him wherever he goes.
Cole has been very patient and understanding when mom or dad have to spend some time with Casey or hold him in order to provide some comfort. Mom and Dad have made an extra effort to allow for "Cole time" where Cole gets to do or go somewhere special just for him. We are most definitely one big happy family of four.
Here are some pics of Cole and Casey spending some quality brother time. Be it snuggling in Cole's bed on a Saturday morning or hanging out on the couch taking in a movie.
Casey is making great strides on holding his head up for longer periods of time which makes Tummy Time much less frustrating. Soon enough he will be hangin' out in the Bumbo chair and watching the world from a vertical position.

Easter '10
A few weeks ago, Cole and Casey enjoyed their first Easter together. They were able to see both sets of grandparents as Nana and Pop Pop came in from Arizona and Oma and Zeydeh came over to have a wonderful Easter dinner.
While we were at church on Easter morning the Easter bunny came and left a ton of eggs in our front yard. Cole was quick to grab his Easter basket and set off on his very own Easter egg hunt. Cole realized that Casey was too little to participate in the hunt so he was sure to leave the little eggs for his brother and only picked up the bigger eggs. A good time for the entire family.
Below are a few pics and a video recap.

Back to School
As Momma prepares to go back to work, Casey has started exploring Cole's old stomping grounds in Infant 2 at the Sony Child Development Center. Casey is a bit younger than Cole was when he started but a free spot opened up and we weren't about to let it slip away considering how much success Cole has had within the center.
This past week, Momma and Casey have been coming in to get acclimated with the new surroundings. We are blessed to have Cole's primary caregiver Filo back on duty to take care of Casey which will make the transition on Mom and Dad much smoother.
Casey is by far the youngest in the class. He will always be in between classes and will either be one of the younger kids or one of the older kids but this will expose him to kids who are further along developmentally and they will show him the ropes on how to do certain things :)
Here are some pics of Casey checking out his new school
The "Easter" post is still to come...

Casey @ 2 Months
Casey is two months old! With this milestone we are seeing routines start to emerge (this is a good thing!). We’ve got a ways to go before we can start predicting Casey’s daytime calendar, but at least we’ve past the two hour mark between bottles - hallelujah! Casey is a good eater and he is definitely a growing boy. He sees his pediatrician on Monday so we will see how much he weighs but we think it will be in the 12+ lb range. He is sleeping in his crib and seems quite comfortable there.
Casey takes in all that is in front of him. He will follow you with his eyes and is very engaged. And, if he is following a moving target, he can turn that neck around quite impressively. He is working out those neck muscles and his head pops up more frequently.
Casey also has a smile that can melt you! He’ll often give us a gummy grin and seems to think it especially funny to give Daddy or Mama a poopy diaper. He also has found his voice and will talk us all up. Casey especially lights up when big brother Cole is in the room. Cole enjoys entertaining Casey and Casey lets his brother know he likes it with a huge smile. We hope that this is a sign of things to come - close brothers who love each other.
Casey’s sleep schedule shows promise. Unlike Cole who didn’t seem to want to nap much during the day, Casey will take a couple adequate naps. And, if you put him in the stroller and get out for a good walk, he is content to lazily gaze at the scenery and take a doze there as well. Casey still needs a couple of bottles in the night but we are starting to see longer stretches in-between. With Mom about to return to work, we would love to report that one of the nightly bottles has been eliminated by time the three month birthday rolls around. However he is right on track for a two month old and for that we are glad.
We have to say, our boys make us very happy... busy, tired, on-our-toes and sometimes perplexed too, but all superseded by happy!
We are definitely feeling blessed! Below are some pics of the 2 Month old.
Here is a glance at Casey's progression over the past 2 months
And finally... a look at Cole at 2 months next to his 2 month old brother
