Adam came out 2 minutes after we tucked him in tonight. I took him back in and talked to him for a bit and got him to stay in for 5 minutes before he came back out again. I went in and laid with him.
Shortly after laying down he says "dad... I want a wife". "Why buddy?" "Because then I won't have to go to bed all alone all the time"
Cute kid

"Da Da Da Da Da"
Music to my ears. Adam said "ma ma ma" first.
Abby says "da da da" all the time. Mom is by far her favorite, although Adam can make her laugh at will.
We're very blessed...

Deer fossil
Dad got to be the hero! I found a deer shed and Adam took it to school as his show and tell item -- it was a deer fossil for anyone who asked. He thought daddy was the coolest.

Good Weekend
ZOO BOO with friends Saturday, birthday party for Poppy in St Joe on Sunday... And a looooong night last night!!!
We all went to bed a bit late, Abby woke up in the middle of the night -- I got to go out to couch with her and she konked out on my chest. Adam woke up super early this morning, I went in and laid by him while Jenny got ready this morning. Sleep's overrated, I guess...
Adam won't get a nap today with parties and then trick-or-treating -- we'll see how it goes!

Cute Adam Story
We took Gpa Krueger out to dinner on Friday.
After we dropped him off at home Adam and I had the following conversation:
"Gpa sure misses Gma Krueger"
"She's up in heaven"
"Yep buddy, she's an angel"
"Dad, let's build a house for all the angels. Then we can have a rope down from heaven and all the angels can come down from the house and we can see them and then nobody has to be sad and everybody can be happy -- that a good idea, right dad?"
Sure is.

Abby Updates
Abby rolled over this weekend a couple times!
She's holding up her head really good now, but still not a fan of too much tummy time.
She'd probably chill in her swing all day if we'd let her
Started eating cereal and green beans recently too. Big fan of the cereal, green beans... not so much.
Abby wears 6-9 month clothes and 0-3 month shoes
She sleeps really well, typically from about 8pm until 6:30/7am.
Her hair's coming in, still has blue eyes (sorry mom), when she smiles her whole face lights up and her tongue comes out -- and the feet start kickin!
Loves her hands, loves to touch anything in front of her, will grab fingers and loves to touch faces
BIG TIME THUMB SUCKER!!!!

Lion King
I took Adam to see Lion King this weekend. He really enjoyed it and actually stayed in his seat for the entire movie, which we haven't been so lucky with in the previous attempts.
There were lots of questions - was this the same movie we've seen at home, who's his mommy, where do they live, why did he leave, why his dad can't get up, how'd he grow up so fast, and on and on -- he was pretty excited
After Simba becomes friends with Timon and Pumba, and probably 20 minutes or so after Mufasa dies, Adam looks at me and says "now they can go back and help wake his dad up"
So we had to go back through what death is and relate it to Gus (#1 and #2) and how they are no longer with us. Not sure he understands that lost loved ones aren't coming back, but he can hold on to that innocence for a while :)

Movie Experience
Took Adam to see Cars 2. About an hour in he has to go to the bathroom. On the way, I asked him “pee or poop?” He says pee. I get him in front of the urinal, pants around his ankles. He starts going and very quickly thereafter says “oh no, poop”
In his crocs, on his shorts, on his unders, and of course on the floor. I picked him up, turned him around and let him squeeze the rest in to the urinal and of course he's peeing all over the floor as he's pooping.
Get him into a stall, told him to stand there while I washed out his clothes, of course he didn’t and there are people in and out of the bathroom. He comes out again and “poop, poop”
Left the clothes on the sink, grab his pits, plop him down and he goes again. A kid goes to the sink and “eeew, gross” Adam at this point isn’t crying, but close to. I get his shorts washed out but I threw his unders away -- which was a mistake because those were his favorite I am told.
Dig out the unders, tell Adam his shorts are going to have to be just like a swimsuit and that it is ok. Half hoping he’d want to leave, I asked him what he wanted to do and he wanted to watch the rest of the movie so I wrapped up the unders in a towel and back in we went.
Sat back down only to realize I had sh1t all over the back of my hand.
I love being a dad.

The things they say...
While getting Adam ready for bed last night, I pulled off his shorts and unders.
He turns to me and says "Can I pee on your head? Open your mouth"
Kids...

2 month check-up
A bit late, but Abby's two month check-up was a lot like Adam's two month check-up - both were 12lbs, 3 oz. Adam was a half inch longer than Abby, she was 23 inches.
Happy and healthy!

Wrestling Bears
We took Adam to the zoo a few weeks back. It was pretty busy and we were zipping from animal exhibit to exhibit. We get to the bears and Adam watched for a good long while and we got some factoids from the zoologist lady standing near. The bigger female bear was Boo Boo, the smaller male bear was Yogi.
Everyone else had left, it was just the four of us and the zoologist and Yogi got a bit "frisky"
"Dad, what is he doing?"
"Uh... they're wrestling buddy, let's keep moving"
Got a laugh from the zoo lady
