And Then There Were Two!

On Sunday, August 22nd, Poppa drove me down to Munchie's house to help Mommee cope with the added duties now that Curtis was at home.  Once I got there I realized that in the rush I had forgotten both, yes both, of my cameras.  Luckily Poppa was coming for a visit on Wednesday and after a few texts back and forth, and a phone call to dictate a list of things we needed, he agreed to bring a few items with him, including my cameras.  Thank goodness!  We were really busy!  One little guy was hungry all the time, the other one was busy, busy, busy!  Both of us looked forward to nap time every day!  The newest addition was quite good during the night, only waking up once or twice - giving Mommee an opportunity to get more sleep than she did with Munchie - who woke up every hour or so!  Munchie was intrigued with his little brother, but didn't quite realize how fragile such small people are, so we had to keep an eye on him.  All in all things went really well.

As promised, Poppa arrived on Wednesday. Of course, he brought my cameras, as well as two gift bags from Granny - one for Munchie and one for Coogie. Munchie watched while Mommee opened Coogie's bag and requisitioned the cute little hat he found in there. He wore it while Poppa helped him unwrap what he found in his own bag.

Inside his bag, was a package with two dinosaurs - a large one, and a small one - as well as a dinosaur egg that opened and closed to reveal a small caveman inside.  They were a huge hit, and Munchie played with them a lot.  He especially loved the little egg and tried hiding various things inside it, but always reverted back to putting the little caveman in there.  There was also a cute little outfit - but Mommee confiscated it and hid it away in the closet, so Munchie wouldn't get it all dirty.  It included little boots that she fell in love with.  You can see by the hat on Munchie's head, how adorable the layette was that Coogie got.  It had everything you could think of included with it, from sleepers to a bib and hat.  It was too big for Coogie right now, so once again Mommee stashed it in the closet out of harm's way.  Coogie slept through all this excitement!

Coogie slept quite a lot.  He slept in his little chair. He slept in Mommee's arms. 

 He slept in his car seat when they went to the doctor.  Munchie hadn't seen that infant car seat for a long time and was quite taken with figuring out how to do up, or undo, the buckle.

One day when Coogie seemed to be having a hard time getting to sleep we popped him into the swing that Poppa and I had brought - and it seemed to work like a charm!

And while Coogie slept in the swing, Munchie took some time to watch his favourite TV show - Toopy and Binoo!  Any of you with little ones, or grandchildren will recognize that one!

Thursday night was important - Munchie got dressed up to go to see a Blue Jays game with Daddy!  We hear that he was very good, and didn't get restless until near the end.  They were quite late getting home and Munchie went straight to bed!   It seemed that Friday arrived in a flash.  Munchie got showered and ready for bed....

...he wanted to take Squeegie with him, but we convinced him that Squeegie should stay with Nanna.  Coogie fell asleep in Mommee's arms.....

And at that point, I headed home for the weekend. 

Knitting.......oh yes...........I finished Curtis's blanket while I was there and when we turned on the air conditioner, we popped it over him to keep the cool breeze off.

I'm heading back to their house this evening to spend a couple more days there, so I'll be off-line until Thursday...........more pics and news then!
