Beantown Boys: Fun at Home in February

The entire Bolton family was in tow to help us take care of our newest little one!

Will with his Gigi and Bubba

All the Bolton boys. Never a dull moment - as evidenced by Cooper's head in a basketball goal.

We decked out in our Patriots gear to watch the Superbowl. Cooper was very into the Pats this year so he got to wear his Pats gear to school. They even made headgear and a banner to help cheer on the local team.

Will even sported some football gear. This shirt was Cooper's that Cooper wore for the Super Bowl five years earlier!

Coops the Quarterback, wearing his "Gronk" jersey.

This is how we watched the Superbowl. Lots of piles of cozy on the couch, plus a little Seasame Street thrown in. Reid went to bed before the game started, Cooper watched a few commercials, and luckily didn't see the loss. After the kids went to bed, Mom and Dad chowed down on their assortment of appetizers made for the just the two of them.

Will celebrated his one month birthday - up to 9lbs 9 oz and 21.5 inches.

He had his first bottle.

The many faces of Mr Will. Will spits up like you wouldn't believe. Gigantic amounts! He doesn't seem to care that he's so spitty. This is a face we see quite often, but usually there's a lot more substance to it than this!

More silly Will faces!

Let's not forget about the Reid-Man! Reid turned 18 months old on Will's one month birthday. He was 27.3 lbs at his checkup. He talks up a storm - learning nearly a word a day. He's putting together words into phrases - one of his first multi-word phrases was "No like it!" While we're all for him talking in sentences, this is not one of our favorites. Reid went through a picky eating phase and this is what we heard most of the time, followed by the flinging of his food. The phrase then progressed from "No like it" to "No like it dis chicken." Every food was chicken - no matter what it was.

Reid loves Elmo, so we used his love for Elmo to our advantage and got him to start using the potty. Everytime he sat on it, he would be able to squeeze out one little drop of pee pee. He even pooped on it a couple of times. He seems to have lost interest but that was at least a good start!

A picture of my little Valentine! Valentine's day was unseasonably warm - as was the rest of the winter - so while Cooper was in school, I took my two littlest boys out for the day. We had about a two week window between when the Boltons left and the Evans grandparents crew arrived to just live as a family of five. Reid clearly didn't remember the swings from last year, but he sure had a great time this year as he yelled "Weee" over and over again!
