james and sam

as to try and make this post not longer than it has to be, i will briefly tell you what is going on in each ADORABLE pic.. :-)

this is the most amazing pic of james we have taken in awhile!


and this is james trying to hang out in sam's bouncer. james is still only 25lbs, so its no biggy that he is in there.


this pic of the boys is priceless!


we did this with james so we had to do it with sam. the famous "in daddys jacket" pic.


sam got a bath in the tub for the first time. we have been doing the sink, but he is a TAD big!


jake thought it would be cool to teach sam NOW the importance of holding on to the remote so mommy cant touch it.


and this is a typical day for sam to hang out on daddy. you can see how big he is getting compared to jake.


and that is about what is going on here nowadays. :-)

2 or jealous??

is it because he is two or because he is jealous??? that is what i am trying to figure out.

james keeps getting out of his bed at night. i think i have mentioned this before, but now its EVERY night. and he brings both his blankets (he calls them "buggies") and curls up by the door. we tried giving him more bottle, we tried cuddling, we tried talking to him... nothing makes him STAY in bed. but he loves his brother. he loves to kiss him and hug him and have us lay them down together. so i dont understand. why act all crazy if you LOVE your brother??

on top of that, he isnt eating very well again. i cant get him to eat much of anything anymore. unless its a hamburger? but even the waffles he loves, he eats 3 bites and stops. i just wish he was PERFECT and that this situation was PERFECT and that i could get a nap! :/

dentist

heres a cute pic before my dentist story.. :-)



alright, now that you got to see the cute pic, here is my story...

we took james to his first dental appt last week. as we were leaving, they asked if i wanted to come in later that week and bring james to show him its not a big deal. i did, and he did ok. at my appt, they saw that one of my fillings was chipping, so i needed to make a return appt. that brings us to today. jake was at school, so i had to bring both the boys with me. got there and of course they were behind. just before they called me back, my friend Cristy popped in for her appt. chatted with her and she offered her ipod touch for james to watch a movie while i was in my appt. WHAT A SWEETIE! so, i go into the room, get james situated with Madagascar and i start my appt. then, james was being a terd and didnt want to watch the movie anymore. one of the dental assistants came in and took him to the toy box and played with him (after asking me if it was ok first) while i did my appt. as i left, i was suppose to pay the difference in what the insurance wouldnt cover ($15, not biggy), but i didnt have my wallet with me. the lady told me not to worry about it and to just pay sometime soon (their policy is pay at time of service, so that was a big deal i thought). so, i guess the moral of my story is, the people at my dentist office are BEYOND sweet and its so wonderful to know that you have friends around.

YAY! :-)

james

so we took james to his 2yr ck up today. he is in the 80% for his height, but only 19% for his weight. his weight is actually equal to what i have lost since i had the baby last week. (p.s. i got into my regular jeans today. button was a lil tight, but they looked good). and so we need to fatten him up! dr wants him to see a nutritionist to give us ideas and things to get him CHUBBY! :-)

what a good brother

well, goodness. its been a week. life moves pretty fast when you are focusing on ONE lil guy... but even MORE fast when you have TWO. james is trying SO hard to be a great older brother. you can see in this pic that he is figuring out how to use the carseat.



he loves to put things together to begin with, but since this is for brother, he is always trying to see how it works. james kisses on samuel and tries to hold him ALL the time. its pretty cute. he is getting better at not getting out of his bed at night and naps. i think since things have calmed down a lil, he is getting use to it.

i am doing well. i am getting up and down WAY better. i pretty much only take about one pain pill a day. just every now and again, you get a lil OUCH pain. i also havent changed ANY diaper in a whole week. that has been nice. but sad at the same time because i have no idea what sam's lil bum looks like. i cant really bend that far to do it, so my fam has been taking care of all that. and daddy is doing well. he is trying to be the best daddy to BOTH the boys AND to me. so he has lots on his plate. AND pretty soon he has to get back in the groove of studying.

anyways.. lil sis left today. so its just gramma, me and daddy watching the boys. gramma is pretty much dealing with james at night for us and helping me with whatever i need throughout the day. sooo.. ANYWHO... tis all for now. normally, i would have thousands of pics, but as all you who have more than one child know, you never have as many since you are so busy just trying to keep up, let alone take a pic!! haha.. i will try harder.

Its about time!!!

Well this week has been a real big week for the Fritz clan. yesterday Jake had his aircraft selection and he took the blackhawk, he could not be happier about the subject. There are a few people that are really upset but we are the fortunate ones who at this point are really excited. Which leads us into today. We came to the hospital at 0500 and had Samuel Jakob Fritz at 0718 he is 8lbs 1.3oz and 21 inches long. he is gorgeous he looks a lot like his older brother James except for his RED hair, yup thats right red hair.

FINALLY

no, this has nothing to do with jake and school... it IS about our lives tho...



this is the jordan river temple. this is where it will finally be done. jake and i talked with the bishop today and got the "ok" to get sealed together and to our boys!! of course we still need to talk to the stk pres, but that should be done end of november. then, when we are visiting family up in south jordan for christmas, we will get sealed. awesome right?? we are pretty stoked about it. just another activity to put on our TO DO LIST for the holidays!! hahahaha
