  Owen turned 4 months on the 2nd!!
  Kaden & Owen hang out all the time now. And Kaden is doing great being the gentle big brother. He has tried to feed Owen things like the apple in the picture. I guess we'll be practicing "brother led weaning" here - but hopefully we can wait a few more months.. ;-)

  @Jazibel‌ adorable! He does look like a good big brother!
  
  Not much new to share in pictures. Here's our new baby causing trouble. Her new favorite thing is to scale the hanging clothes in the closet and then walking around the tops of the closet....
  
  Oh and I guess we do have pictures from our trip to Chicago this weekend! The second is our selfie in The Bean!

  I've been MIA for the last week and half or so, mostly because G and I took a trip out East to visit the family.  Of course that's when everyone decides to have their babies! 

  Bonus to family visits are always great pics (Sis is a photographer).  Here's one of my favorites of G playing in the playground that I grew up going to:

  Some new ones this week -
  
  He's normally not this engaged in books. Typically he tries to eat the book or bangs on the table by the glider while I read.
  
  
  Taking steps with his push toy! (Ignore the pulls in the rug from the cats. We can't have anything nice.)
  
  
  He crawled into this basket, and of course we had to take a picture.
  
  Z is the queen of selfies. Love this one!

  @redrockmama‌ oh no! (About the nanny) hope it wasn't anything serious that she got fired for (though I guess getting fired from a childcare job, it'd have to be somewhat serious) good luck on finding someone new! (though I'm sure he's enjoying some quality aunt time!!)

  @ATXmommas‌ had to chuckle at the comment about the rug and cats! J just about gos ballistic every time she hears the new kitten jumping up on our furniture (cause she always has to use her little claws to catch herself) J is counting down the days until we get her declawed... And I can only hope that none of our furniture gets ruined beforehand

  She just seems to need it at night and during evening fussy time...or under stress (like the Dr!). We figure on the paci but were trying to make it to 4 weeks, though we may need to intro a bottle sooner in which case the paci could cone sooner too. We have two kitty wubanubs!

  My plan was to wait three weeks, but I caved at 2 weeks We intro'd bottle at 3 weeks, and I think it worked out well to let him practice with the paci first. Wubbanubs are the best!
