Toby's Many Faces and The Toddler Bed Conversion

So Toby is chunking up, big time! I don't know a weight to be exact (he is over 9lbs for sure now), but his face has just plumped up overnight. Now that he is 6 weeks old- he sure is a cute kid with many faces to him now. He smiles, grimaces (when he poops), and has the most beautiful eyelashes I have seen on a 6 week old, ever. I think he will also get the long "ladies would kill for those" eyelashes.

He is also suffering from a receeding hairline. Some of the hair up front has fallen out. And his acne is slowly starting to improve. He, like his brother, also has some eczema. So after showers, both boys get smothered in Aquaphor.

So let me show you the many faces of Tobin:

If you look closely you can see the beautiful eyelashes coming in on his remarkably blue eyes!

This is his crying face, its pitiful looking and definately my least favorite look.

Now this, is his I am pooping face and it always makes me laugh!

This is his serious and contemplative look. And I just love this onsie!

And this one is his smile. He has one of the best smiles! His whole face just lights up. My favorite look by far!

This week we have worked on transitioning Jesse Jay from his crib to a toddler bed. It took a couple of nights of forcing him to stay in his room, but now he just sits on his bed and doesn't really try and get out. He cries for a minute or two and falls right asleep. He loves soft blankets. The softer, the better. I'm just glad we don't have to essentially lock him in there anymore.

As you can see, he didn't love the conversion at first. Now we have to let him get used to it and then move him into an entirely new room and bed. Toby will then move out of our room and into the crib room. We are hoping that way he will sleep better than he does in our room. It sure worked with Jesse Jay. He slept through the night once he got his own room. I think it's because daddy snores :)

And Jesse Jay is still cracking us up. He is such a helpful and funny toddler. Yesterday we gave him an envelope, and he turned it into a hat. He always thinks of the silliest things that crack us up.

*Sigh* We are smitten with our guys. Can you tell? They are just so much fun. I go back to work Thursday. Please pray for me that it goes a lot easier than it did the first time. Those first days are pretty rough. But we are so blessed that Jesse Sr gets to stay home with them this summer as he applies for teaching jobs.

And PS: Jesse is a certified teacher as of Friday!!! Yay! We are praying he gets a job next school year (despite the impossible economy) but are prepared either way. Please pray for this as well, should you think of it. :)
