Is that really my child?

So I was looking at Cael today and I thought to myself, "Are you really my child?!" He has such a fair complection, has light brown hair, and has blue eyes! I decided to go back and look at some pictures of Logan at the same age and compare because when you look at them together now they don't look related. Logan is so tan and has brown hair and brown eyes. Well when I compare they look at lot more a like when I compare them at the same age....Cael just has lighter features. But they both have Bobby's eyes, brow and chin...so I guess that makes them look more alike! I'm anxious to see what Cael will look like a little further in the future.....Below are the pics....

So last week we took Cael for his 2 month check up, here are his stats:

Weight: A whopping 13lbs


Height: 23inches


Head: 15cm not quite as big as Logan's was


He's our little chunky monkey!


Logan at 2 months


Cael at 2 months

You be the judge!

oh photos, oh photos, more and more photos

So here are some more random pics of the boys. I just can't get enough they are too cute!

Hangin out

So the boys and I were just hangin out the other day and I decided to mess around with my camera and got these cute shots of them!

1st Swim

A few days ago we took Cael swimming for the first time. He loved it! He would smile and make cooing noises. He also would kick his feet and splash his hands. It was too cute! Logan is almost swimming without floaties! He has been teaching himself! Next step, SURFING! Looks like we have two water babies! Here are some pics of Cael below (don't mind the horrible pics of myself!)

School, Weddings and Tons of Love!

Yesterday Logan had his first day of Preschool Camp. It is an Under the Sea theme. So far he is having so much fun and can't wait to go back. This camp lasts this week and then he has 4 weeks until actual Preschool starts. I can't believe how big my baby is getting (and handsome....I better watch out for those preschool girls!)

On our way out to the first day of preschool!

On Saturday my cousin Michelle got married out in Pasadena. I went with my Mom and brought along Cael for the ride. Let me tell you he was a trooper and was so good. Especially since the ceremony was a full Catholic mass. It went about an hour and a half! And not a peep out of him! Then was the reception and he was all smiles. I couldn't believe how happy he was! I took this shot while sitting at the table. Its so cute and funny!

I just love this shot! The other day Logan asked if he could hold Cael and Bobby caught this picture of the two. It is too cute! Even though Cael looks a little frightened! ha ha

My funny Boys!

These are the many faces of Cael. Already at about a month he was smiling in response to a gooing and gagaing him! He is a very alert baby and is awake majority of the day and he is only 6 weeks, its crazy! He also makes some of the funniest faces. Almost like he is surprised...its hilarious!

And Logan...a bundle of joy! He cracks me up...he has energy for days and is very stubborn! But is a sweet boy. He has been into looking cool like daddy and wearing his hat backwards with sunglasses and building forts with daddy. Every time I take out the camera to take a picture of Cael, Logan always has to have a picture of him too. Its funny! Logan is such a sweetheart and always says that he loves Cael. Quick little story....

I was getting dressed and was in a hurry and Cael got hungry. So I put his little seat next to the bathroom so I could see him and propped a bottle up for him to eat. Well the bottle fell out and I heard him start to cry...then stop pretty quick. I look over and I see Logan there. He had gone and picked up the bottle and continued to feed Cael. I said to him "Thank you Logan" and He responded by saying "Your welcome Mommy", "I love Cael." It was too cute!

The many sleeping positions of Cael. This child has never liked being bundled up. He always wants to be sprawled out. And his favorite place to do this is on our bed. It is quite funny! But he can sleep for hours like that!

He is also so alert. The above pictures of him looking at the little toys above his head on the swing he is only about a month there and is already looking at things. It is crazy how alert he is. Another thing he likes to look at is the ceiling fan.

Cael is also really strong. When I put him on his tummy he practically can lift his little head all the way up. And he starts using his legs like he is gonna start crawling!

He is a big boy. I'm anxious to see how much he weighs at his 2 month appointment! He seriously eats like every hour and poos like no other child I have seen! Most people who see him think that he is at least three months old...but really hes only a month and a half!! Its crazy!

Beach Bums

We have been going to the beach this summer and let me tell you that Cael is a outdoor, beach bum, water baby just like Logan. He just chilled and hung out and never made a fuss it was wonderful! Logan as usual has fun playing with Daddy and climbing the rocks! I would say this is one of our favorite pass times!

It's Science Time!

A few weeks ago my friend Crystal and her son Andrew (who is the same age as Logan) went to the Science Center and the Natural History Museum down in L.A. It was a ton of fun and the boys had a blast together. Let me tell you the Science Center is way cool but swarming with little field trip children and is a mad house! At the Natural History Museum there was a show and it was a huge animatronic/puppet dinosaur! It was the coolest thing....it moved around like a dinosaur and it even roared really loud! So when the dinosaur came out I was regretting the fact that Logan's favorite movie was Jurassic Park because when that thing came out Logan started balling and was so scared. He thought that it was real and was going to eat him!! Since I was in the back with Cael, Crystal had to explain to Logan that it was a puppet in order to calm him down. (Not sure if he believed her!) So I guess when he watched Jurassic Park next time it will be a little scarier!

Our little boys!

Here are some pics of the boys that I have taken recently. I can't believe how big both of them are getting so quickly!

So far Cael has been such a chill baby. He only cries when he is hungry or poops. He is awake for long periods of time and just sits around staring at everything. He is so alert at such an early age. When you hold him he will sit and stare at you almost like he is trying to figure you out. Right now he has beautiful blue eyes, so we'll see what color they end up being! Just like Logan, Cael looks so much like his daddy! He has the pollard boy chin and looks like he is also getting bobby's eyes and brow. Cael sleeps through majority of the night. The most he ever wakes up is twice a night and that is just to eat. Which is AWESOME! (Logan was colic and was up probably 4 or 5 times a night!) He loves bathes so i'm thinking he is like his daddy and brother and is going to love the water. We are so blessed to have such a cute, chill little boy!

Logan loves Cael so much. Every chance he gets he is trying to lay next to him, hold his hands, touch his feet, give him kisses or try to hold him. It is too cute. He was so excited when I was taking these pictures. And Cael just loves his big brother. Every time he hears logan start talking he is always trying to look in that direction to see him. So far having the two boys has been so great. I don't really have a complaint yet. I would say my transition to two is so far going smoothly. Thank goodness for that!!!

Well its swimming season again and Logan and Bobby's favorite time. Logan is getting a little more daring. We have been working with him and he can pretty much swim without his floaties now. A little more practice and he will be a pro in no time. He can swim from on edge of the pool to the other (width of the pool) and he enjoys jumping from the jacuzzi into the pool by himself (no fear). And as you can see why Logan has no fear of the water, if you look at the pictures above you can see that his daddy makes sure that he is not scared of anything!!! He gets him flying pretty high sometimes! Logan loves every minute of it!!!

Our 2nd little lovebug is here!

Well here he is.....the long awaited Cael William Pollard!

Stats:

Date: June 22, 2010

Time: 1:38pm



Weight: 9lbs 5 oz! I know shocker(Logan was only 7lbs 9 oz!)

Height: 19 1/2 inches



Well his journey was quite interesting. So here it is.....



My original due date in the very beginning was June 21st, but after a later ultrasound the doctor changed my due date to June 14th, a week ahead. So it remained that date all the way up until June 14th (in which Cael had not come yet)when my doctor checked me and said "Yep, I'm thinking that the original date was your due date, so we'll wait another week and make an appointment on the 21st, if he is not here then we can induce the next day..." Yes I was a little heartbroken that I had to wait another week for our little guy to come, but what can you do.



So, a week goes by and no Cael, I'm 2cm dialated, so the doctor schedules me for induction the next morning at 6am. Bobby and I get there and its nice and quiet. They don't actually give me the pitocin until 7:30 that morning. Once they do that here comes the waiting game! So about 11 comes rolling around and I am feeling the contractions so I get an epidural (lifesaver!!!!). The nurse checks me and I am only dialated 4cm. So we continue to wait at about 12:30 I notice that I am feeling some pressure down there even with my epidural. So I tell the nurse and she checks me. I am 9cm dialated!!! In just an hour and a half and then by 1 I was the full 10cm and Cael's head was practically pushing its way out. They had just finished preparing for a c-section and had to postpone it temporarily because I dialated a lot faster than they thought. So I begin pushing at 1:15pm and I can not feel a thing! My epidural didn't have enough time to go down so I just started pushing without any feeling! At 1:38pm he came! And I didn't even feel it!! All of a sudden the doc just layed this baby on me and I was done! Talk about easy labor! The nurses took him over to the warming station and started getting him all clean. The nurse asked the doc how big he thought the baby was and he said maybe about 8lbs 5oz...she said guess again a whopping 9lbs 5 oz!!! He was their biggest baby of the day!!! They were shocked that such a big baby came out of me!



He is such a good and chill baby! We are all so excited he is here....especially Logan! He always wants to hold him and every once and a while he will come over without us telling him to and kiss Cael and say "I Love you, Cael" It is the cutest thing ever! We couldn't be happier!
