Photos and Milestones

We had fun with our camera a few weekends ago and John got some good shots of the boys.  I finally see that they are looking more and more alike.  I just love their round cheeks (from me) and large bottom lip (from Daddy).  Don't you just want to squeeze them?

We also miraculously FINALLY got some shots of Evan smiling.  Seriously!  It's been 15 months and we only have a handful of them.  It was a team effort to get the charming smile, but we got it!

He knows he's Mr. Cool Dude.  Notice my hand tickling the back of his neck?

 And here are the brothers in the box.  Yes, we have a jack-in-the-box!  They love climbing in and out of this thing and it makes clean up a cinch.

 

 Jack and Daddy stole the camera for some self portraits.

I love this one because it shows Jack using his lip muscles and you can see his beautiful deep blue eyes.

 Jack's Milestone: Since about April, Jack has been going on the potty sporadically.  I'm not pushing it as he still doesn't mind being wet and only tells me while he's going pee, but at least he will go #2 on the potty occasionally.  That alone is a huge accomplishment and we are very proud of him!  I caught the 'potty party' on film.  I know it's blurry, but it's such a great moment.

Evan's Milestone: He is now a stable full-time walker.  Watch out!

Happy Wednesday everyone.  We're halfway through!

Bumbo and Brothers

Evan tried out the Bumbo seat for the first time.  I think he dug it.  You can't tell by the look on his face, but I know he is just squealing with joy inside.  Can't you tell?

And here's one of the two brothers!

 typical Jack....and typical Evan =)

I love my boys.

Brothers and More

Evan is now 2 months old already.  He weighs 11lbs 6.5oz and is 22 1/4" long.  Jack was nearly 4 months old at that weight!  Yikes!

I know it looks like he is trying to eat his foot.  But, here is Jack showing him some brotherly kisses.

And the first photos of both boys.  I had five seconds to take these shots before Jack bolted, as you can see.

The only way I can get Evan to smile is to take a side shot.  He likes the exaggerated baby talk and yes, for those that are wondering, he is still colicy.

And I have to share this photo.  Jack can now finally hold his own straw cup without handles.  What a big boy!  Of course, he doesn't yet show restraint.  He likes to drink the whole cup in a matter of minutes.  And then of course proceed to wet through his whole outfit.  Luvs diapers stink!
