Little bit of this and that

 Here's just a little update of what we've been doing around the Brower home. First off, it's almost Halloween! Cody's favorite holiday ever! And my sweet mom made Gage his first legit Halloween outfit! I feel super bad that I didn't give my mom the reaction she deserved for putting so much time in to it and it looks really amazing.The first picture is him looking at his refection for the first time in the outfit. I think he's a little scared of his own reflection but soon enough I had him racing around and having fun. So darling. And if he'll let me I'm hoping to dye his hair black and color in a widows peak. Thank you so much mom! It looks amazing! 

And now for the big backyard reveal. Here's what it looked like before.

 And After!

 And to top it all off some darling pictures of Asher that we snapped while Gage was sleeping.

Chill'n with my boys

 These are just some fun pictures I took today of the boys. Asher is really getting into laying on the floor and watching cartoons with Gage. I had to snap a picture of the two cuddling up on the floor together. That of course prompted a photo shoot of my little Asher at almost 3 months old. And then that of course prompted a comparison of Gage and Asher at the same age. Gage had such a round little head! It's been so fun looking though the pictures and comparing my two favorite little boys in the world.

It's blurry but I love the look on that face!

 And lastly we are re-seeding our back yard and a certain little dog keeps breaking through our barrier fencing. A perimeter fence has been ordered but until then I've had to create a harness for him because his neck is to thick to not have the collar slip off. So one of Asher's onsie and some duck tape did the trick. That's what he gets for being naughty!

Favorites

 I decided to have just a few of my favorite things in this post. First, I love how attentive Cody is as a dad. He comes home late from work and school and still reads Gage a bedtime story. It's been such a help since we've been double teaming the baby and Gage for the most part. I don't know what I'd do without him! And I think Gage is finally starting to give Cody some real attention. In the past he's been a bit mom obsessed but the tide is turning and he's realizing what a blast a day can be.

 Secondly I LOVE Gage! He has become such a funny kid to mother. There are so many times during the day when I think to myself "he's my kind of kid". For instance, he was playing with the bunny while I constructed a barrier fence so the dogs would stay off the grass while it grew. Notice the dogs didn't make it on my list of favorite things this week. There's a reason. Sigh. Anyway, Gage thought it would be great to not only take the bunny inside but to tuck her into Asher's bed. Makes total sense right. The crazy thing is that the bunny isn't all that well behaved. She scratches like crazy (you can see a cut on his face, not to mention a ton on his arms) but to Gage it's all worth it to play with the bunny. I know how hard he plays because she's freaking out when I take her out of the cage and she's nearly limp with exhaustion when I put her back. He sure loves his bunny.

 Lastly I of course love my little baby so much! He is just the light of my life right now and even though he still drives me nuts sometimes I just love the companionship he gives me throughout the day. I gave him a bath during Gage's nap time today and he just loves soaking in the warm water. Just like his mom. He did get pretty fed up with picture time by the end. I don't know how I got lucky enough to have such a laid back kid. He rarely cries and loves nothing more than to snuggle the day away. I can't wait to get to know him more!
